How do you solve recursive formulas

1 answer:

Find the common ratio. (The number you multiply or divide.) 3. Create a recursive formula by stating the first term, and then stating the formula to be the common ratio times the previous term.

The contrapositive switches the hypothesis and the conclusion and negates both in this form:
Statement: If A, then B
Contrapositive: If not B, then not A.

In this case, the statement is:
 "If the lights are off, there is no one inside."
Contrapositive:
If there is someone inside, the lights are on.

Let 0 be an acute angle of a right triangle. Evaluate the other five trigonometric functions of 0.

Paraphin [41]

Answer:

sin θ = (√119)/12

tan θ = (√119)/5

csc θ = 12/(√119)

cot θ = 5/(√119)

Where can u place these at tell me

Alex777 [14]

The best thing to do is to rewrite the fractions as decimals
-2/3 is approx. equal to -0.6666667
So a little past half way (to the left) between -1 and 0
1 1/5 is 1.5 so that is right between 1 and 2

Hope this helps :)

Find the point(s) on the surface z^2 = xy 1 which are closest to the point (7, 11, 0)

leonid [27]

Let $P=(x,y,z)$ be an arbitrary point on the surface. The distance between $P$ and the given point $(7,11,0)$ is given by the function

$d(x,y,z)=\sqrt{(x-7)^2+(y-11)^2+z^2}$

Note that $f(x)$ and $f(x)^2$ attain their extrema, if they have any, at the same values of $x$ . This allows us to consider the modified distance function,

$d^*(x,y,z)=(x-7)^2+(y-11)^2+z^2$

So now you're minimizing $d^*(x,y,z)$ subject to the constraint $z^2=xy$ . This is a perfect candidate for applying the method of Lagrange multipliers.

The Lagrangian in this case would be

$\mathcal L(x,y,z,\lambda)=d^*(x,y,z)+\lambda(z^2-xy)$

which has partial derivatives

$\begin{cases}\dfrac{\mathrm d\mathcal L}{\mathrm dx}=2(x-7)-\lambda y\\\\\dfrac{\mathrm d\mathcal L}{\mathrm dy}=2(y-11)-\lambda x\\\\\dfrac{\mathrm d\mathcal L}{\mathrm dz}=2z+2\lambda z\\\\\dfrac{\mathrm d\mathcal L}{\mathrm d\lambda}=z^2-xy\end{cases}$

Setting all four equation equal to 0, you find from the third equation that either $z=0$ or $\lambda=-1$ . In the first case, you arrive at a possible critical point of $(0,0,0)$ . In the second, plugging $\lambda=-1$ into the first two equations gives

$\begin{cases}2(x-7)+y=0\\2(y-11)+x=0\end{cases}\implies\begin{cases}2x+y=14\\x+2y=22\end{cases}\implies x=2,y=10$

and plugging these into the last equation gives

$z^2=20\implies z=\pm\sqrt{20}=\pm2\sqrt5$

So you have three potential points to check: $(0,0,0)$ , $(2,10,2\sqrt5)$ , and $(2,10,-2\sqrt5)$ . Evaluating either distance function (I use $d^*$ ), you find that

$d^*(0,0,0)=170$
$d^*(2,10,2\sqrt5)=46$
$d^*(2,10,-2\sqrt5)=46$

So the two points on the surface $z^2=xy$ closest to the point $(7,11,0)$ are $(2,10,\pm2\sqrt5)$ .
