Answer:

- 5i.

Step-by-step explanation:

( 1 + 2 i ) ( − 2 − 1 i )

= 1 * -2 + 1*-1i + 2i*-2 - 2i*1i

= -2 - i - 4i - 2i^2 i^2 = -1 so we have:

-2 - 5i +2

= 0 - 5i

= -5i.

Find a compact form for generating functions of the sequence 1, 8,27,... , k^3

pantera1 [17]

This sequence has generating function

$F(x)=\displaystyle\sum_{k\ge0}k^3x^k$

(if we include $k=0$ for a moment)

Recall that for $|x|$ , we have

$\displaystyle\frac1{1-x}=\sum_{k\ge0}x^k$

Take the derivative to get

$\displaystyle\frac1{(1-x)^2}=\sum_{k\ge0}kx^{k-1}=\frac1x\sum_{k\ge0}kx^k$

$\implies\dfrac x{(1-x)^2}=\displaystyle\sum_{k\ge0}kx^k$

Take the derivative again:

$\displaystyle\frac{(1-x)^2+2x(1-x)}{(1-x)^4}=\sum_{k\ge0}k^2x^{k-1}=\frac1x\sum_{k\ge0}k^2x^k$

$\implies\displaystyle\frac{x+x^2}{(1-x)^3}=\sum_{k\ge0}k^2x^k$

Take the derivative one more time:

$\displaystyle\frac{(1+2x)(1-x)^3+3(x+x^2)(1-x)^2}{(1-x)^6}=\sum_{k\ge0}k^3x^{k-1}=\frac1x\sum_{k\ge0}k^3x^k$

$\implies\displaystyle\frac{x+4x^3+x^3}{(1-x)^4}=\sum_{k\ge0}k^3x^k$

so we have

$\boxed{F(x)=\dfrac{x+4x^3+x^3}{(1-x)^4}}$

Evaluate the expression.

Katarina [22]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The lines on the outside simply means "absolute value". This just takes any negative number and makes it positive. In this case, 15-4 is already positive so the answer is just positive 11.

Divide £250 in the ratio 3:6:1

Nina [5.8K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The numbers in the ratio add up to 10. So divide 250 by 10. One part is £25. Multiply by the given numbers: 3x25=75. 6x25=150. 1x25=25. So you have £75:£150:£25.
