Question

Find the general solution to the equation y(5) - 4y(4) + 4y(3) = 1.

Answer 1

y= -1/23

Explanation:

The equation y(5)-4y(4)+4y(3)=1 can be solved thus:

Work on brackets first:

5y-16y+12y=1

Add up y values

5y-28y=1

Divide both sides of equation

-23y=1

y=1/-23

Therefore the value of y is -1/23
