Answer:
y = 3^(1 + x)
Step-by-step explanation:
Notice that each time x increases by 1, y increases by a factor of 3.
Thus, the required equation has the form y = 3^x.
Check: If x = 0, do we get 3? No. Therefore we must modify the exponent:
y = 3^(1 + x)
Check: If x = 0, do we get 3? 3^(1 + 0) = 3 (correct)
If x = 2, do we get 27? 3(1 + 2) = 3^3 + 27 (correct)
The next step is to solve the recurrence, but let's back up a bit. You should have found that the ODE in terms of the power series expansion for


which indeed gives the recurrence you found,

but in order to get anywhere with this, you need at least three initial conditions. The constant term tells you that

, and substituting this into the recurrence, you find that

for all

.
Next, the linear term tells you that

, or

.
Now, if

is the first term in the sequence, then by the recurrence you have



and so on, such that

for all

.
Finally, the quadratic term gives

, or

. Then by the recurrence,




and so on, such that

for all

.
Now, the solution was proposed to be

so the general solution would be


The sum of all three angles will always be 180 degrees.
Answer:
- amberjack, 21 lbs
- kingfish, 42 lbs
- white marlin, 84 lbs
- tarpon, 105 lbs
Step-by-step explanation:
Let k, a, m, t represent the weights of the kingfish, amberjack, marlin, and tarpon, respectively. The problem statement tells us ...
- k = 2a
- m = 2k
- t = 5a
- k + a + m + t = 252
Using substitution, we can rewrite the last equation as ...
... (2a) + (a) + 2(2a) + (5a) = 252
... 12a = 252 . . . . . collect terms
... a = 21 . . . . . . . . .divide by 12
Then k = 2a = 42; m = 2k = 84; t = 5a = 105.
