Total circles needed = 32 × 4 = 128

papers needed to have 128 circles = 128 / 6 = 21.3 rounded up 22 because paper is whole number.

Let an = –3an-1 + 10an-2 with initial conditions a1 = 29 and a2 = –47. a) Write the first 5 terms of the recurrence relation. b)

zlopas [31]

We can express the recurrence,

$\begin{cases}a_1=29\\a_2=-47\\a_n=-3a_{n-1}+10a_{n-2}7\text{for }n\ge3\end{cases}$

in matrix form as

$\begin{bmatrix}a_n\\a_{n-1}\end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix}-3&10\\1&0\end{bmatrix}\begin{bmatrix}a_{n-1}\\a_{n-2}\end{bmatrix}$

By substitution,

$\begin{bmatrix}a_{n-1}\\a_{n-2}\end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix}-3&10\\1&0\end{bmatrix}\begin{bmatrix}a_{n-2}\\a_{n-3}\end{bmatrix}\implies\begin{bmatrix}a_n\\a_{n-1}\end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix}-3&10\\1&0\end{bmatrix}^2\begin{bmatrix}a_{n-2}\\a_{n-3}\end{bmatrix}$

and continuing in this way we would find that

$\begin{bmatrix}a_n\\a_{n-1}\end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix}-3&10\\1&0\end{bmatrix}^{n-2}\begin{bmatrix}a_2\\a_1\end{bmatrix}$

Diagonalizing the coefficient matrix gives us

$\begin{bmatrix}-3&10\\1&0\end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix}-5&2\\1&1\end{bmatrix}\begin{bmatrix}-5&0\\0&2\end{bmatrix}\begin{bmatrix}-5&2\\1&1\end{bmatrix}^{-1}$

which makes taking the $(n-2)$ -th power trivial:

$\begin{bmatrix}-3&10\\1&0\end{bmatrix}^{n-2}=\begin{bmatrix}-5&2\\1&1\end{bmatrix}\begin{bmatrix}-5&0\\0&2\end{bmatrix}^{n-2}\begin{bmatrix}-5&2\\1&1\end{bmatrix}^{-1}$

$\begin{bmatrix}-3&10\\1&0\end{bmatrix}^{n-2}=\begin{bmatrix}-5&2\\1&1\end{bmatrix}\begin{bmatrix}(-5)^{n-2}&0\\0&2^{n-2}\end{bmatrix}\begin{bmatrix}-5&2\\1&1\end{bmatrix}^{-1}$

So we have

$\begin{bmatrix}a_n\\a_{n-1}\end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix}-5&2\\1&1\end{bmatrix}\begin{bmatrix}(-5)^{n-2}&0\\0&2^{n-2}\end{bmatrix}\begin{bmatrix}-5&2\\1&1\end{bmatrix}^{-1}\begin{bmatrix}a_2\\a_1\end{bmatrix}$

and in particular,

$a_n=\dfrac{29\left(2(-5)^{n-1}+5\cdot2^{n-1}\right)-47\left(-(-5)^{n-1}+2^{n-1}\right)}7$

$a_n=\dfrac{105(-5)^{n-1}+98\cdot2^{n-1}}7$

$a_n=15(-5)^{n-1}+14\cdot2^{n-1}$

$\boxed{a_n=-3(-5)^n+7\cdot2^n}$

I really need help with this question. I need this to be explained because I don't even understand what a 5-number summary is. T

OLEGan [10]

I did it on paper just now. Sorry for the sloppy handwriting, but you should be able to answer the two questions with the info I got. If you don't know what five number summary is, just google it.

Basically, arrange the list of numbers in order, and then find the minimum, 1st quartile, median, 3rd quartile, and maximum.
