Let A, B, and C be sets in a universal set U. We are given n(U) = 47, n(A) = 25, n(B) = 30, n(C) = 13, n(A ∩ B) = 17, n(A ∩ C) = 7, n(B ∩ C) = 7, n(A ∩ B ∩ C^C) = 12. Find the following values.
(a) n(A^C ∩ B ∩ C)
(b) n(A ∩ B^C ∩ C^C)

a. T: R^2 → R^2 is not a linear transformation. b. T: P^5 → P^5 is not a linear transformation. c. T: P^2 → P^4 given by T(f(x)) = (f(x + 1))^2 is a linear transformation.

(a) The function T: R^2 → R^2 given by T(x₁, x₂) = (e^(x₁), x₁ + 4x₂) is **not a linear transformation**.

To show this, we need to verify two properties for T to be a linear transformation: **additivity** and **homogeneity**.

Let's consider additivity first. For T to be additive, T(u + v) should be equal to T(u) + T(v) for any vectors u and v. However, in this case, T(x₁, x₂) = (e^(x₁), x₁ + 4x₂), but T(x₁ + x₁, x₂ + x₂) = T(2x₁, 2x₂) = (e^(2x₁), 2x₁ + 8x₂). Since (e^(2x₁), 2x₁ + 8x₂) is not equal to (e^(x₁), x₁ + 4x₂), the function T is not additive, violating one of the properties of a linear transformation.

Next, let's consider homogeneity. For T to be homogeneous, T(cu) should be equal to cT(u) for any scalar c and vector u. However, in this case, T(cx₁, cx₂) = (e^(cx₁), cx₁ + 4cx₂), while cT(x₁, x₂) = c(e^(x₁), x₁ + 4x₂). Since (e^(cx₁), cx₁ + 4cx₂) is not equal to c(e^(x₁), x₁ + 4x₂), the function T is not homogeneous, violating another property of a linear transformation.

Thus, we have shown that T: R^2 → R^2 is not a linear transformation.

(b) The function T: P^5 → P^5 given by T(f(x)) = x²f''(x) + 4f(x) is **not a linear transformation**.

To prove this, we again need to check the properties of additivity and homogeneity.

Considering additivity, we need to show that T(f(x) + g(x)) = T(f(x)) + T(g(x)) for any polynomials f(x) and g(x). However, T(f(x) + g(x)) = x²(f''(x) + g''(x)) + 4(f(x) + g(x)), while T(f(x)) + T(g(x)) = x²f''(x) + 4f(x) + x²g''(x) + 4g(x). These two expressions are not equal, indicating that T is not additive and thus not a linear transformation.

For homogeneity, we need to show that T(cf(x)) = cT(f(x)) for any scalar c and polynomial f(x). However, T(cf(x)) = x²(cf''(x)) + 4(cf(x)), while cT(f(x)) = cx²f''(x) + 4cf(x). Again, these two expressions are not equal, demonstrating that T is not homogeneous and therefore not a linear transformation.

Hence, we have shown that T: P^5 → P^5 is not a linear transformation.

(c) The function T: P^2 → P^4 given by T(f(x)) = (f(x + 1))^2 is **a linear transformation**.

To prove this, we need to confirm that T satisfies both additivity and homogeneity.

For additivity, we need to show that T(f(x) + g(x)) = T(f(x)) + T

(g(x)) for any polynomials f(x) and g(x). Let's consider T(f(x) + g(x)). We have T(f(x) + g(x)) = [(f(x) + g(x) + 1))^2 = (f(x) + g(x) + 1))^2 = (f(x + 1) + g(x + 1))^2. Expanding this expression, we get (f(x + 1))^2 + 2f(x + 1)g(x + 1) + (g(x + 1))^2.

Now, let's look at T(f(x)) + T(g(x)). We have T(f(x)) + T(g(x)) = (f(x + 1))^2 + (g(x + 1))^2. Comparing these two expressions, we see that T(f(x) + g(x)) = T(f(x)) + T(g(x)), which satisfies additivity.

For homogeneity, we need to show that T(cf(x)) = cT(f(x)) for any scalar c and polynomial f(x). Let's consider T(cf(x)). We have T(cf(x)) = (cf(x + 1))^2 = c^2(f(x + 1))^2.

Now, let's look at cT(f(x)). We have cT(f(x)) = c(f(x + 1))^2 = c^2(f(x + 1))^2. Comparing these two expressions, we see that T(cf(x)) = cT(f(x)), which satisfies homogeneity.

Thus, we have shown that T: P^2 → P^4 given by T(f(x)) = (f(x + 1))^2 is a linear transformation.

The caloric consumption of 36 adults was measured and found to average 2,173.

Assume the population standard deviation is 266 calories per day.

Given, Sample size n = 36, Sample mean x = 2,173, Population standard deviation σ = 266

a) The 91% confidence interval: The formula for confidence interval is given as: Lower Limit (LL) = x - z α/2(σ/√n)

Upper Limit (UL) = x + z α/2(σ/√n)

Here, the significance level is 1 - α = 91% α = 0.09

The annual interest rate for the loan is 15.2125%.

A borrower and a lender agreed that after 25 years loan time the borrower will pay back the original loan amount increased with 117 percent. The loan is compounded.

We need to calculate the annual interest rate.

The formula for the future value of a lump sum of an annuity is:

FV = PV (1 + r)n,

Where

PV = present value of the annuity

r = annual interest rate

n = number of years

FV = future value of the annuity

Given, the loan is compounded. So, the formula will be,

FV = PV (1 + r/n)nt

Where,FV = Future value

PV = Present value of the annuity

r = Annual interest rate

n = number of years for which annuity is compounded

t = number of times compounding occurs annually

Here, the present value of the annuity is the original loan amount.

To find the annual interest rate, we use the formula for compound interest and solve for r.

Let's solve the problem.

r = n[(FV/PV) ^ (1/nt) - 1]

r = 25 [(1 + 1.17) ^ (1/25) - 1]

r = 25 [1.046085 - 1]

r = 0.152125 or 15.2125%.

The formula for f(x), the time required to drive 100 miles as a function of the average speed x in miles per hour, is f(x) = 100 / x, and when tested with sample points, it accurately calculates the time it takes to travel 100 miles at different average speeds.

To find a formula for f(x), the time required to drive 100 miles as a function of the average speed x in miles per hour, we can use the formula for time:

time = distance / speed

In this case, the distance is fixed at 100 miles, so the formula becomes:

f(x) = 100 / x

This formula represents the relationship between the average speed x and the time it takes to drive 100 miles.

Let's test this formula with some sample points:

f(50) = 100 / 50 = 2 hours (as given in the example)

At an average speed of 50 miles per hour, it would take 2 hours to travel 100 miles.

f(60) = 100 / 60 ≈ 1.67 hours

At an average speed of 60 miles per hour, it would take approximately 1.67 hours to travel 100 miles.

f(70) = 100 / 70 ≈ 1.43 hours

At an average speed of 70 miles per hour, it would take approximately 1.43 hours to travel 100 miles.

f(80) = 100 / 80 = 1.25 hours

At an average speed of 80 miles per hour, it would take 1.25 hours to travel 100 miles.

By plugging in different values of x into the formula f(x) = 100 / x, we can calculate the corresponding time it takes to drive 100 miles at each average speed x.

The salmon must have a minimum speed of 4.88 m/s to jump the waterfall.

To determine the minimum speed required for the salmon to jump the waterfall, we can analyze the vertical and horizontal components of the salmon's motion separately.

Given:

Height of the waterfall, h = 0.615 m

Distance from the waterfall, d = 3.1 m

Angle of jump, θ = 43.5°

Acceleration due to gravity, g = 9.81 m/s²

We can calculate the vertical component of the initial velocity, Vy, using the formula:

Vy = sqrt(2 * g * h)

Substituting the values, we have:

Vy = sqrt(2 * 9.81 * 0.615) = 3.069 m/s

To find the horizontal component of the initial velocity, Vx, we use the formula:

Vx = d / (t * cos(θ))

Here, t represents the time it takes for the salmon to reach the waterfall after jumping. We can express t in terms of Vy:

t = Vy / g

Substituting the values:

t = 3.069 / 9.81 = 0.313 s

Now we can calculate Vx:

Vx = d / (t * cos(θ)) = 3.1 / (0.313 * cos(43.5°)) = 6.315 m/s

Finally, we can determine the minimum speed required by the salmon using the Pythagorean theorem:

V = sqrt(Vx² + Vy²) = sqrt(6.315² + 3.069²) = 4.88 m/s

The minimum speed required for the salmon to jump the waterfall is 4.88 m/s. This speed is necessary to provide enough vertical velocity to overcome the height of the waterfall and enough horizontal velocity to cover the distance from the starting point to the waterfall.

The polynomial with the given zeros is f(x) = x^3 - 4x^2 + 9x - 8.

To find a polynomial with the given zeros, we need to start by using the zero product property. This property tells us that if a polynomial has a factor of (x - r), then the value r is a zero of the polynomial. So, if we have the zeros 2, 1+2i, and 1-2i, then we can write the polynomial as:

f(x) = (x - 2)(x - (1+2i))(x - (1-2i))

Next, we can simplify this expression by multiplying out the factors using the distributive property:

f(x) = (x - 2)((x - 1) - 2i)((x - 1) + 2i)

f(x) = (x - 2)((x - 1)^2 - (2i)^2)

f(x) = (x - 2)((x - 1)^2 + 4)

Finally, we can expand this expression by multiplying out the remaining factors:

f(x) = (x^3 - 4x^2 + 9x - 8)

Therefore, the polynomial with the given zeros is f(x) = x^3 - 4x^2 + 9x - 8.

To distribute the carrot sticks in a way that ensures every kid gets at least 5 carrot sticks, we can use the stars and bars combinatorial technique. Let's represent the carrot sticks as stars (*) and use bars (|) to separate the groups for each kid.

We have 63 carrot sticks to distribute among 11 kids, ensuring each kid gets at least 5. We can imagine that each kid is assigned 5 carrot sticks initially, which leaves us with 63 - (11 * 5) = 8 carrot sticks remaining.

Now, we need to distribute these remaining 8 carrot sticks among the 11 kids. Using stars and bars, we have 8 stars and 10 bars (representing the divisions between the kids). We can arrange these stars and bars in (8+10) choose 10 = 18 choose 10 ways.

Therefore, there are 18 choose 10 = 43758 ways for Enzo to hand out the carrot sticks while ensuring each kid gets at least 5.

To find the number of 3-digit numbers needed to ensure that there are 2 numbers summing to exactly 1002, we can approach this problem using the Pigeonhole Principle.

The largest 3-digit number is 999, and the smallest 3-digit number is 100. To achieve a sum of 1002, we need the smallest number to be 999 (since it's the largest) and the other number to be 3.

Now, we can start with the smallest number (100) and add 3 to it repeatedly until we reach 999. Each time we add 3, the sum increases by 3. The total number of times we need to add 3 can be calculated as:

(Number of times to add 3) * (3) = 999 - 100

Simplifying this equation:

(Number of times to add 3) = (999 - 100) / 3

= 299

Therefore, we need to have at least 299 three-digit numbers to ensure there are 2 numbers summing to exactly 1002.

To find the coefficient of x^6 in the expansion of (x - 2)^9, we can use the Binomial Theorem. According to the theorem, the coefficient of x^k in the expansion of (a + b)^n is given by the binomial coefficient C(n, k), where

C(n, k) = n! / (k! * (n - k)!).

In this case, we have (x - 2)^9. Expanding this using the Binomial Theorem, we get:

(x - 2)^9 = C(9, 0) * x^9 * (-2)^0 + C(9, 1) * x^8 * (-2)^1 + C(9, 2) * x^7 * (-2)^2 + ... + C(9, 6) * x^3 * (-2)^6 + ...

The coefficient of x^6 is given by the term C(9, 6) * x^3 * (-2)^6. Calculating this term:

C(9, 6) = 9! / (6! * (9 - 6)!)

Therefore, the formula in terms of mass (m) is m = F/a.

Now, to find the object's mass when its acceleration is 14 m/s and the total force is 126 N, we can substitute the given values into the formula:

m = F/a

m = 126 N / 14 m/s

m ≈ 9 kg

Therefore, when the object's acceleration is 14 m/s and the total force is 126 N, the object's mass is approximately 9 kg.

The confidence interval indicates that we can be 90% confident that the true population mean difference in playtime between games AE and C falls between 0.24 and 0.76 hours.

The 90% confidence interval for the population mean difference between games AE and C (denoted as μAE-C), we can use the following formula:

Confidence Interval = (x(bar) AE - x(bar) C) ± Z × √(s²AE/nAE + s²C/nC)

Where:

x(bar) AE and x(bar) C are the sample means for games AE and C, respectively.

s²AE and s²C are the sample variances for games AE and C, respectively.

nAE and nC are the sample sizes for games AE and C, respectively.

Z is the critical value corresponding to the desired confidence level. For a 90% confidence level, Z is approximately 1.645.

Given the following information:

x(bar) AE = 3.6 hours

s²AE = 54 minutes = 0.9 hours (since 1 hour = 60 minutes)

nAE = 43

x(bar) C = 3.1 hours

s²C = (0.4 hours)² = 0.16 hours²

nC = 40

Substituting these values into the formula, we have:

Confidence Interval = (3.6 - 3.1) ± 1.645 × √(0.9/43 + 0.16/40)

Calculating the values inside the square root:

√(0.9/43 + 0.16/40) ≈ √(0.0209 + 0.004) ≈ √0.0249 ≈ 0.158

Substituting the values into the confidence interval formula:

Confidence Interval = 0.5 ± 1.645 × 0.158

Calculating the values inside the confidence interval:

1.645 × 0.158 ≈ 0.26

Therefore, the 90% confidence interval for the population mean difference between games AE and C is:

(0.5 - 0.26, 0.5 + 0.26) = (0.24, 0.76)

After Kelsey bought 5(5)/(8) liters of milk and drank 1(2)/(7) liters, there was 27/56 liters of milk left.

To find out how much milk was left after Kelsey bought 5(5)/(8) liters and drank 1(2)/(7) liters, we need to subtract the amount of milk consumed from the initial amount.

The initial amount of milk Kelsey bought was 5(5)/(8) liters.

Kelsey drank 1(2)/(7) liters of milk.

To subtract fractions, we need to have a common denominator. The common denominator for 8 and 7 is 56.

Converting the fractions to have a denominator of 56:

5(5)/(8) liters = (5*7)/(8*7) = 35/56 liters

1(2)/(7) liters = (1*8)/(7*8) = 8/56 liters

Now, let's subtract the amount of milk consumed from the initial amount:

Amount left = Initial amount - Amount consumed

Amount left = 35/56 - 8/56

To subtract the fractions, we keep the denominator the same and subtract the numerators:

Amount left = (35 - 8)/56

Amount left = 27/56 liters

It's important to note that fractions can be simplified if possible. In this case, 27/56 cannot be simplified further, so it remains as 27/56. The answer is provided in fraction form, representing the exact amount of milk left.

After 8 years with continuous compounding: FV = $7,181.10

Effective Annual Yield with monthly compounding: EAY = 3.43%

If the interest is compounded monthly, the future value (FV) of the investment after 8 years can be calculated using the formula:

FV = P(1 + r/n)^(nt)

where:

P = principal amount = $5,907.00

r = annual nominal interest rate = 3.37% = 0.0337 (expressed as a decimal)

n = number of times the interest is compounded per year = 12 (monthly compounding)

As per the unitary method,

Sarah bought 5 first-class tickets.

Sarah bought 4 coach tickets.

The cost of x first-class tickets would be $1230 multiplied by x, which gives us a total cost of 1230x. Similarly, the cost of y coach tickets would be $240 multiplied by y, which gives us a total cost of 240y.

Since Sarah used her entire budget of $7350 for airfare, the total cost of the tickets she purchased must equal her budget. Therefore, we can write the following equation:

1230x + 240y = 7350

The problem states that a total of 10 people went on the trip, including Sarah. Since Sarah is one of the 10 people, the remaining 9 people would represent the sum of first-class and coach tickets. In other words:

x + y = 9

Now we have a system of two equations:

1230x + 240y = 7350 (Equation 1)

x + y = 9 (Equation 2)

We can solve this system of equations using various methods, such as substitution or elimination. Let's solve it using the elimination method.

To eliminate the y variable, we can multiply Equation 2 by 240:

240x + 240y = 2160 (Equation 3)

By subtracting Equation 3 from Equation 1, we eliminate the y variable:

1230x + 240y - (240x + 240y) = 7350 - 2160

Simplifying the equation:

990x = 5190

Dividing both sides of the equation by 990, we find:

x = 5190 / 990

x = 5.23

Since we can't have a fraction of a ticket, we need to consider the nearest whole number. In this case, x represents the number of first-class tickets, so we round down to 5.

Now we can substitute the value of x back into Equation 2 to find the value of y:

5 + y = 9

Subtracting 5 from both sides:

y = 9 - 5

y = 4

Therefore, Sarah bought 5 first-class tickets and 4 coach tickets within her budget.

To transform the given Euler's equation into a second-order linear differential equation with constant coefficients, we will make the substitution x = e^z.

Let's begin by differentiating x = e^z with respect to z using the chain rule: dx/dz = (d/dz) (e^z) = e^z.

Taking the derivative of both sides again, we have:

d²x/dz² = (d/dz) (e^z) = e^z.

Next, we will express the derivatives of y with respect to x in terms of z using the chain rule:

dy/dx = (dy/dz) / (dx/dz),

d²y/dx² = (d²y/dz²) / (dx/dz)².

Substituting the expressions we derived for dx/dz and d²x/dz² into the Euler's equation:

x²(d²y/dz²)(e^z)² - 4x(e^z)(dy/dz) + 5y = ln(x),

(e^z)²(d²y/dz²) - 4e^z(dy/dz) + 5y = ln(e^z),

Future Value = Monthly Deposit [(1 + Interest Rate)^(Number of Deposits) - 1] / Interest Rate

First, let's calculate the future value with an interest rate of 0.75% compounded monthly.

The number of deposits can be calculated as follows:

Number of Deposits = (60 - 25) 12 = 420 deposits

Using the formula:

Future Value = $1,80  [(1 + 0.0075)^(420) - 1] / 0.0075

Future Value = $1,80  (1.0075^420 - 1) / 0.0075

Future Value = $1,80 (1.492223 - 1) / 0.0075

Future Value = $1,80  0.492223 / 0.0075

Future Value = $118.133

Therefore, with an interest rate of 0.75% compounded monthly, you would have approximately $118.133 in your pension plan at the age of 60.

Now let's calculate the future value with an interest rate of 9% compounded annually.

The number of deposits remains the same:

Number of Deposits = (60 - 25)  12 = 420 deposits

Using the formula:

Future Value = $1,80  [(1 + 0.09)^(35) - 1] / 0.09

Future Value = $1,80  (1.09^35 - 1) / 0.09

Future Value = $1,80  (3.138428 - 1) / 0.09

Future Value = $1,80  2.138428 / 0.09

The probability generating functions show that Sn follows a negative binomial distribution with parameters n and β. Expanding the generating function, we find that Gn(z) = E(z^Sn) = E(z^(N1+...+Nn)) = E(z^N1... z^Nn). The probability that Sn takes values less than 40 is approximately 0.0012. The probability that Sn is less than 40 is approximately 0.0012.

(a) By using the probability generating functions, show that Sn follows a negative binomial distribution.

Using probability generating functions, the generating function of Ni is given by:

G(z) = E(z^Ni) = Σ(z^ni * P(Ni=ni)),

where P(Ni=ni) = (1−β)^(ni−1) * β (for ni=1,2,3,...).

Therefore, the generating function of Sn is:

Gn(z) = E(z^Sn) = E(z^(N1+...+Nn)) = E(z^N1 ... z^Nn).

From independence, we have:

Gn(z) = G(z)^n = (β/(1−(1−β)z))^n.

Now we need to expand the generating function Gn(z) using the Binomial Theorem:

Gn(z) = (β/(1−(1−β)z))^n = β^n * (1−(1−β)z)^−n = Σ[k=0 to infinity] (β^n) * ((−1)^k) * binomial(−n,k) * (1−β)^k * z^k.

Therefore, Sn has a Negative Binomial distribution with parameters n and β.

(b) With n=50 and β=2, find Pr[Sn < 40] by (i) the exact distribution and by (ii) the normal approximation.

(i) Using the exact distribution:

The probability that Sn takes values less than 40 is:

Pr(S50<40) = Σ[k=0 to 39] (50+k−1 k) * (2/(2+1))^k * (1/3)^(50) ≈ 0.001340021.

(ii) Using the normal approximation:

The mean of Sn is μ = 50 * 2 = 100, and the variance of Sn is σ^2 = 50 * 2 * (1+2) = 300.

Therefore, Sn can be approximated by a Normal distribution with mean μ and variance σ^2:

Sn ~ N(100, 300).

We can standardize the value 40 using the normal distribution:

Z = (Sn − μ) / σ = (40 − 100) / √(300/50) = -3.08.

Using the standard normal distribution table, we find:

Pr(Sn<40) ≈ Pr(Z<−3.08) ≈ 0.0012.

So the probability that Sn is less than 40 is approximately 0.0012.

If we take a sample of size n from a random variable X with mean μ and variance σ^2, the distribution of X - μ will have a mean of 0 and the same variance σ^2 as X.

The random variable X - μ represents the deviation of X from its mean μ. The distribution of X - μ can be characterized by its mean and variance.

Mean of X - μ:

The mean of X - μ can be calculated as follows:

E(X - μ) = E(X) - E(μ) = μ - μ = 0

Variance of X - μ:

The variance of X - μ can be calculated as follows:

Var(X - μ) = Var(X)

From the properties of variance, we know that for a random variable X, the variance remains unchanged when a constant is added or subtracted. Since μ is a constant, the variance of X - μ is equal to the variance of X.

Therefore, the distribution of X - μ has a mean of 0 and the same variance as X. This means that X - μ has the same distribution as X, just shifted by a constant value of -μ. In other words, the distribution of X - μ is centered around 0 and has the same spread as the original distribution of X.

The solution to the equation (2)/(x+3) + (5)/(x-3) = (37)/(x^(2)-9) is obtained by finding the values of x that satisfy the expanded equation 7x^3 + 9x^2 - 63x - 118 = 0 using numerical methods.

To solve the rational equation (2)/(x+3) + (5)/(x-3) = (37)/(x^2 - 9), we will follow a systematic approach.

Step 1: Identify any restrictions

Since the equation involves fractions, we need to check for any values of x that would make the denominators equal to zero, as division by zero is undefined.

In this case, the denominators are x + 3, x - 3, and x^2 - 9. We can see that x cannot be equal to -3 or 3, as these values would make the denominators equal to zero. Therefore, x ≠ -3 and x ≠ 3 are restrictions for this equation.

Step 2: Find a common denominator

To simplify the equation, we need to find a common denominator for the fractions involved. The common denominator in this case is (x + 3)(x - 3) because it incorporates both (x + 3) and (x - 3).

Step 3: Multiply through by the common denominator

Multiply each term of the equation by the common denominator to eliminate the fractions. This will result in an equation without denominators.

[(2)(x - 3) + (5)(x + 3)](x + 3)(x - 3) = (37)

Simplifying:

[2x - 6 + 5x + 15](x^2 - 9) = 37

(7x + 9)(x^2 - 9) = 37

Step 4: Expand and simplify

Expand the equation and simplify the resulting expression.

7x^3 - 63x + 9x^2 - 81 = 37

7x^3 + 9x^2 - 63x - 118 = 0

Step 5: Solve the cubic equation

Unfortunately, solving a general cubic equation algebraically can be complex and involve advanced techniques. In this case, solving the equation directly may not be feasible using elementary methods.

To obtain the specific values of x that satisfy the equation, numerical methods or approximations can be used, such as graphing the equation or using numerical solvers.

u(x,t) = C is constant in time, and we have proved our result.

Given that ut​+uux​=0 and dtdx​=u(x,t), we need to show that u(x,t) is constant in time. We can prove this as follows:

Consider the function F(x(t), t). We know that dtdx​=u(x,t).

Therefore, we can write this as: dt​=dx​/u(x,t)

Now, let's differentiate F with respect to t:

∂F/∂t​=∂F/∂x ​dx/dt+∂F/∂t

= u(x,t)∂F/∂x + ∂F/∂t

Since u(x,t) satisfies the differential equation ut​+uux​=0, we know that

∂F/∂t=−u(x,t)∂F/∂x

So, ∂F/∂t=−∂F/∂x ​dt

dx​=−∂F/∂x ​u(x,t)

Substituting this value in the previous equation, we get:

∂F/∂t=−u(x,t)∂F/∂x

=−dFdx

Now, we can solve the differential equation ∂F/∂t=−dFdx to get F(x(t), t)= C (constant)

Therefore, F(x(t), t) = u(x,t)

Therefore, u(x,t) = C is constant in time, and we have proved our result.

General solution is the sum of the complementary function and the particular solution:

y(x) = y_c(x) + y_p(x)

= c1e^(2x) + c2e^(3x) + (1/6)e^(3x)

To solve the given differential equation using the method of undetermined coefficients, we first need to find the complementary function by solving the homogeneous equation:

dx^2 d^2y/dx^2 - 5 dx/dx dy/dx + 6y = 0

The characteristic equation is:

r^2 - 5r + 6 = 0

Factoring this equation gives us:

(r - 2)(r - 3) = 0

So the roots are r = 2 and r = 3. Therefore, the complementary function is:

y_c(x) = c1e^(2x) + c2e^(3x)

Now, we need to find the particular solution y_p(x) by assuming a form for it based on the non-homogeneous term e^(3x). Since e^(3x) is already part of the complementary function, we assume that the particular solution takes the form:

y_p(x) = Ae^(3x)

We then calculate the first and second derivatives of y_p(x):

dy_p/dx = 3Ae^(3x)

d^2y_p/dx^2 = 9Ae^(3x)

Substituting these expressions into the differential equation, we get:

dx^2 (9Ae^(3x)) - 5 dx/dx (3Ae^(3x)) + 6(Ae^(3x)) = e^(3x)

Simplifying and collecting like terms, we get:

18Ae^(3x) - 15Ae^(3x) + 6Ae^(3x) = e^(3x)

Solving for A, we get:

A = 1/6

Therefore, the particular solution is:

y_p(x) = (1/6)e^(3x)

The general solution is the sum of the complementary function and the particular solution:

y(x) = y_c(x) + y_p(x)

= c1e^(2x) + c2e^(3x) + (1/6)e^(3x)
