On Gabriela’s first birthday, her parents gave her a $50 savings account. On every birthday after that her parents added to the

account, increasing the amount they deposited by $25 each year. Complete the recursive definition for the sequence that represents this situation by finding the values for a1 and d. Calculate the total amount Gabriela’s parents will have deposited into the account on her birthdays by her 18th birthday.

Answer: $a_1=50,d=25$ and $475 deposited into the account on her birthdays by her 18th birthday.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that, on Gabriela’s first birthday, her parents gave her a $50 savings account.

Initial term : $a_1=50$

On every birthday after that her parents added to the account, increasing the amount they deposited by $25 each year.

Common difference : $d=25$

It forms an AP: 50,75,100,...

nth term of an AP is

$a_n=a_1+(n-1)d$

Substitute $a_1=50$ and $d=25$ in the above formula.

$a_n=50+(n-1)25$

It represents the amount deposited into the account after n birthdays.

We need to find the amount by her 18th birthday.

Put n=18 in the above equation.

$a_{18}=50+(18-1)25$

$a_{18}=50+(17)25$

$a_{18}=50+425$

$a_{18}=475$

Therefore, $475 deposited into the account on her birthdays by her 18th birthday.

What is 2 * -5/2 hghghghghghgh

Softa [21]

-5/2 is equivalent to -2.5, and if you multiply 2.5 by 2 you get 5, and you have to have the negative, so add that to the 5 and you get -5. Hope this helps!

Find the area to the nearest square foot of the shaded region below, consisting of a square with a circle cut out of it. Use 3.1

NeTakaya

Answer:

22 square feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of shaded region = Area of square - Area of circle. The diameter of the circle is also the length of the side of the square as the circumference of the circle is on the circumference of the square.

Area of circle = 3.14 × r × r

r = 10 ÷ 2

= 5

Area of circle = 3.14 × 5 × 5

= 78.5

Area of square = length × length

Area of square = 10 × 10

= 100

Area of shaded region = Square - Circle

= 100 - 78.5

= 21.5

= 22 (to the nearest square foot)

I hope this helps :)

Find a power series representation of e^x sin(x)

liberstina [14]

The Taylor series is defined by:
$f(x) = \sum \frac{f^n (a)}{n!} (x-a)^n$

Let a = 0.
Then its just a matter of finding derivatives and determining how many terms is needed for the series.

Derivatives can be found using product rule:
$f^n (x) = e^x g^{n-1} (x) + e^x g^n (x) \\ g^0 (x) = sin x$

Do this successively to n = 6.
$f^1 (x) = e^x (sinx +cos x) \\ f^2 (x) = e^x (2cos x) \\ f^3 (x) = e^x(2cos x - 2sin x) \\ f^4 (x) = e^x (-4 sin x) \\ f^5 (x) = e^x(-4sinx -4cos x) \\ f^6(x) = e^x(-8cos x)$

Plug in x=0 and sub into taylor series:
$e^x sin x = x+x^2 +\frac{x^3}{3} -\frac{x^5}{30}-\frac{x^6}{90}...$

If more terms are needed simply continue the recursive derivative formula and add to taylor series.
