Find the general solution of the given higher-order differential equation. y''' − 7y'' + 8y' + 16y = 0

The ODE

y''' - 7y'' + 8y' + 16y = 0

has characteristic equation

r ³ - 7r ² + 8r + 16 = 0

which can be factorized as

(r - 4)² (r + 1) = 0

Then the characteristic solution to the ODE is

y(x) = C₁ e ⁴ˣ + C₂ x e ⁴ˣ + C₃ e ⁻ˣ

11 feet 6 inches and 8 feet 6 inches

the ratio of white tiles to blue tiles is 48: 16. the ratio in it's simplest form is 3: 1.

step-by-step explanation:

ratio: take the first number and add a colon next to it, then add the second number after that. make sure the ratio order matches up with the written problem!

simplest form: we can simplify the ratio 48 : 16 by dividing both terms by the greatest common factor (gcf).

the gcf of 48 and 16 is 16.

divide both terms by 16:

48 ÷ 16 = 3

16 ÷ 16 = 1

reducing to simplest form:

48 : 16 = 3 : 1
