So what I would do first, would be to write the probability of chosing each counter out of the bag. For example red is 3/6 => 1/2, green is 2/6 => 1/3, and blue is 1/6. Then 5a => 1/6 is worse than ...

Find the values of the constants a and b for which ax + b is a particular integral of the differential equation 2y' + 5y = 10x. Hence find the general solution of 2y' + 5y = 10x .

We start by letting yp = ax+b, as suggested, and finding the derivative yp' = a. Substituing into ODE (by way of matching coefficients) gives a pair of simulataneous (algebraic) equations: (1) 2a=5b (2) -5a=...

Derive the quadratic formula (Hint: complete the square)

Firstly, the quadratic formula finds the roots of a quadratic equation. So this means f(x) = 0. A general polynomial with highest power 2 looks like: ax 2 + bx +c. Usings the two facts we just stated, we sol...
