So here you first want to open up the parenthesis by using the distributive property. (Is that what it's called)

So basically multiply each and every number by 0.5.

So 0.5 * -2.5x - 0.5 * 4.7 = 16.9

Is what you get after doing that.

And then just multiply the numbers

So

-1.25 * x - 2.35 = 16.9

Add 2.35 to both sides

-1.25 * x = 19.25

And then divide both sides by -1.25 to get

x = - 15.4

So there's your answer.

(Sorry I took so long btw)

Can anyone pls help me to solve question 2 f and g and pls provide me a explanation I’m with that questions for three days
zvonat [6]

Answer:

  f)  a[n] = -(-2)^n +2^n

  g)  a[n] = (1/2)((-2)^-n +2^-n)

Step-by-step explanation:

Both of these problems are solved in the same way. The characteristic equation comes from ...

  a[n] -k²·a[n-2] = 0

Using a[n] = r^n, we have ...

  r^n -k²r^(n-2) = 0

  r^(n-2)(r² -k²) = 0

  r² -k² = 0

  r = ±k

  a[n] = p·(-k)^n +q·k^n . . . . . . for some constants p and q

We find p and q from the initial conditions.

__

f) k² = 4, so k = 2.

  a[0] = 0 = p + q

  a[1] = 4 = -2p +2q

Dividing the second equation by 2 and adding the first, we have ...

  2 = 2q

  q = 1

  p = -1

The solution is a[n] = -(-2)^n +2^n.

__

g) k² = 1/4, so k = 1/2.

  a[0] = 1 = p + q

  a[1] = 0 = -p/2 +q/2

Multiplying the first equation by 1/2 and adding the second, we get ...

  1/2 = q

  p = 1 -q = 1/2

Using k = 2^-1, we can write the solution as follows.

The solution is a[n] = (1/2)((-2)^-n +2^-n).
