KatRina [158]3 years ago

If this is what you have in mind 

(1/2)x + 5 = 9
Then solving this is quite simple 
1st subtract 5 from both sides 
(1/2)x = 4
Now divide 1/2 by both sides 
x = 8

If S_1=1,S_2=8 and S_n=S_n-1+2S_n-2 whenever n≥2. Show that S_n=3⋅2n−1+2(−1)n for all n≥1.
Snezhnost [94]

You can try to show this by induction:

• According to the given closed form, we have S_1=3\times2^{1-1}+2(-1)^1=3-2=1, which agrees with the initial value <em>S</em>₁ = 1.

• Assume the closed form is correct for all <em>n</em> up to <em>n</em> = <em>k</em>. In particular, we assume

S_{k-1}=3\times2^{(k-1)-1}+2(-1)^{k-1}=3\times2^{k-2}+2(-1)^{k-1}

and

S_k=3\times2^{k-1}+2(-1)^k

We want to then use this assumption to show the closed form is correct for <em>n</em> = <em>k</em> + 1, or

S_{k+1}=3\times2^{(k+1)-1}+2(-1)^{k+1}=3\times2^k+2(-1)^{k+1}

From the given recurrence, we know

S_{k+1}=S_k+2S_{k-1}

so that

S_{k+1}=3\times2^{k-1}+2(-1)^k + 2\left(3\times2^{k-2}+2(-1)^{k-1}\right)

S_{k+1}=3\times2^{k-1}+2(-1)^k + 3\times2^{k-1}+4(-1)^{k-1}

S_{k+1}=2\times3\times2^{k-1}+(-1)^k\left(2+4(-1)^{-1}\right)

S_{k+1}=3\times2^k-2(-1)^k

S_{k+1}=3\times2^k+2(-1)(-1)^k

\boxed{S_{k+1}=3\times2^k+2(-1)^{k+1}}

which is what we needed. QED

Triangle A:B:C is 5:4:3​
Nitella [24]

Answer: the angles are: 30, 45, 75

Step-by-step explanation:

the sum of the angles of a triangle is 180 degrees.

the angles are in a ratio of 3:4:5.

if you allow the number of degrees in the first angles to be 3x, this means that the number of degrees in the second angle is equal to 4x and the number of degrees in the third angle is equal to 4x.

since the sum of the angles in a triangle is equal to 180 degrees, this means that:

3x + 4x + 5x = 180 degrees which means that 12x = 180.

divide both sides of this equation by 12 and you get x = 180 / 12 = 15 degrees.

this means that the 3x angles is equal to 45 degrees and the 4x angle is equal to 60 degrees and the 5x angle is equal to 75 degrees.

45 + 60 + 75 = 180 degrees so we're good there.

45 / 60 is equal to 3/4

60 / 75 is equal to 4/5

the angles are in the ratio of 3 to 4 to 5 which is as originally assumed, so we're good all around and that's your answer.

the angles are:

30, 45, 75

the ratio of 3:4:5 means that:

the first angle is in a ratio of 3/4 with the second angle.

the second angle is in a ratio of 4/5 with the third angle.

the first angle is in a ratio of 3/5 with the third angle.

the ratio of the first angle with the third angle is equal to 45/75.

simplify that by dividing both numerator and denominator by 15 and you get 3/5.
