What is an explicit equation?

1 answer:

4 0

An explicit equation is an equation used to find a term in a sequence without using the any previous terms. For example, if I have the set of numbers 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, my explicit equation is F(n)=2(n-1)+1. If I plug 1 in for n, I get F(1)= 2(0)+1, which is 1, my first term.

Hope this made sense.

Solve: (x ÷ 4) + 8 = 38

Rainbow [258]

First you have to rewrite the equation:
(x ÷ 4) + 8 = 38

Second you have to write the division as fraction:
(¼x) + 8 = 38

Third you have to take off the unecessary bracket:

¼x + 8 = 38

Fourth multiply 8 and 38 by 4
x + 32 = 152

Fifth step move the constant to the right hand and change the sign.
x = 152 - 32

Then subtract:

x = 120

Hope this helps :))

Find r if (r, 6) and (5, -4) are two points on a line with a slope of 5/7 (Hint: use the slope formula)

andreyandreev [35.5K]

The formula of a slope:

$m=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

We have

$(r,\ 6),\ (5,\ -4)\\\\m=\dfrac{5}{7}$

Substitute

$\dfrac{-4-6}{5-r}=\dfrac{5}{7}\\\\\dfrac{-10}{5-r}=\dfrac{5}{7}\qquad|\text{cross multiply}\\\\5(5-r)=(-10)(7)\qquad|\text{use distributive property}\\\\25-5r=-70\qquad|-25\\\\-5r=-95\qquad|:(-5)\\\\\boxed{r=19}$

Answer:

$P(Red) = \frac{7}{25}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$Red = 35$

$Blue = 40$

$Green = 50$

Required

Determine the probability of red

$P(Red) = \frac{n(Red)}{Total}$

Substitute value for n(Red) and calculate Total

$P(Red) = \frac{35}{35 + 40 + 50}$

$P(Red) = \frac{35}{125}$

Divide numerator and denominator by 5

$P(Red) = \frac{7}{25}$

Answer:

$\displaystyle \lim_{x \to 0} \frac{\sqrt{cos(2x)} - \sqrt[3]{cos(3x)}}{sin(x^2)} = \frac{1}{2}$

General Formulas and Concepts:

Calculus

Limits

Limit Rule [Variable Direct Substitution]: $\displaystyle \lim_{x \to c} x = c$

L'Hopital's Rule

Differentiation

Derivatives
Derivative Notation

Basic Power Rule:

f(x) = cxⁿ
f’(x) = c·nxⁿ⁻¹

Derivative Rule [Chain Rule]: $\displaystyle \frac{d}{dx}[f(g(x))] =f'(g(x)) \cdot g'(x)$

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the limit:

$\displaystyle \lim_{x \to 0} \frac{\sqrt{cos(2x)} - \sqrt[3]{cos(3x)}}{sin(x^2)}$

When we directly plug in x = 0, we see that we would have an indeterminate form:

$\displaystyle \lim_{x \to 0} \frac{\sqrt{cos(2x)} - \sqrt[3]{cos(3x)}}{sin(x^2)} = \frac{0}{0}$

This tells us we need to use L'Hoptial's Rule. Let's differentiate the limit:

$\displaystyle \lim_{x \to 0} \frac{\sqrt{cos(2x)} - \sqrt[3]{cos(3x)}}{sin(x^2)} = \displaystyle \lim_{x \to 0} \frac{\frac{-sin(2x)}{\sqrt{cos(2x)}} + \frac{sin(3x)}{[cos(3x)]^{\frac{2}{3}}}}{2xcos(x^2)}$

Plugging in x = 0 again, we would get:

$\displaystyle \lim_{x \to 0} \frac{\frac{-sin(2x)}{\sqrt{cos(2x)}} + \frac{sin(3x)}{[cos(3x)]^{\frac{2}{3}}}}{2xcos(x^2)} = \frac{0}{0}$

Since we reached another indeterminate form, let's apply L'Hoptial's Rule again:

$\displaystyle \lim_{x \to 0} \frac{\frac{-sin(2x)}{\sqrt{cos(2x)}} + \frac{sin(3x)}{[cos(3x)]^{\frac{2}{3}}}}{2xcos(x^2)} = \lim_{x \to 0} \frac{\frac{-[cos^2(2x) + 1]}{[cos(2x)]^{\frac{2}{3}}} + \frac{cos^2(3x) + 2}{[cos(3x)]^{\frac{5}{3}}}}{2cos(x^2) - 4x^2sin(x^2)}$

Substitute in x = 0 once more:

$\displaystyle \lim_{x \to 0} \frac{\frac{-[cos^2(2x) + 1]}{[cos(2x)]^{\frac{2}{3}}} + \frac{cos^2(3x) + 2}{[cos(3x)]^{\frac{5}{3}}}}{2cos(x^2) - 4x^2sin(x^2)} = \frac{1}{2}$

And we have our final answer.
