Find the equation

alrighty, the slope is rise/run

from (21,-3) to (28,-1)
rise is from -3 to -1 or a rise of 2
run is form 21 to 28 or a run of 7

so slope is 2/7

y=2/7x+b
find b which is the y intercept
alirhgty
use (21,-3)
x=21 and y=-3
-3=(2/7)(21)+b
-3=42/7+b
-3=6+b
-9=b

y=2/7x-9

the y intercept is (0,-9
the x intercept is where y=0

0=2/7x-9
9=2/7x
63/2=x

x intercept is (63/2,0) or (31.5,0)
y intercept is (0,-9)

Find the generating function for the sequence 1,-2,4,-8, 16, ...

Answer:

$a(x)=\dfrac{1}{1+2x}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The generating function a(x) produces a power series ...

$a(x)=a_0+a_1x+a_2x^2+a_3x^3+\dots$

where the coefficients are the elements of the given sequence.

We observe that the given sequence has the recurrence relation ...

$a_0=1;a_n=-2a_{n-1} \quad\text{for n $>$ 0}$

This can be rearranged to ...

$a_n+2a_{n-1}=0$

We can formulate this in terms of a(x) as follows, then solve for a(x).

$\sum\limits^{\infty}_{n=1} {a_{n}x^n} =a(x)-a_0 \quad\text{and}\\\\\sum\limits^{\infty}_{n=1} {2a_{n-1}x^n} =(2x)a(x) \quad\text{so}\\\\\sum\limits^{\infty}_{n=1} {(a_n+2a_{n-1})x^n}=0=a(x)-a_0+2xa(x)\\\\a(x)=\dfrac{a_0}{1+2x}=\dfrac{1}{1+2x}$
