Differential equations
Calculus
$y_p = u_1e^x + u_2e^{-x}$ is a solution of (A) on $(0,\infty)$ if $u'_1e^x + u'_2e^{-x} = 0$ and $u'_1e^x - u'_2e^{-x} = f(x)$. Solving these two equations yields $u'_1 = \frac{e^{-x}f}{2}$, $u'_2 = -\frac{e^x f}{2}$. The functions $u_1(x) = \frac{1}{2}\int_0^x e^{-t}f(t)dt$ and $u_2(x) = -\frac{1}{2}\int_0^x e^t f(t)dt$ satisfy these conditions. Therefore,

At Sydney extquotesingle s Restaurant, customers must wait an average of 15 minutes for a table. From the time they are seated until they have finished their meal requires an additional 40 minutes, on average. What is the probability that a customer spends less than an hour and a half at the diner, assuming that waiting for a table and completing the meal are independent events?
