We can express the recurrence,

\begin{cases}a_1=29\\a_2=-47\\a_n=-3a_{n-1}+10a_{n-2}7\text{for }n\ge3\end{cases}

in matrix form as

\begin{bmatrix}a_n\\a_{n-1}\end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix}-3&10\\1&0\end{bmatrix}\begin{bmatrix}a_{n-1}\\a_{n-2}\end{bmatrix}

By substitution,

\begin{bmatrix}a_{n-1}\\a_{n-2}\end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix}-3&10\\1&0\end{bmatrix}\begin{bmatrix}a_{n-2}\\a_{n-3}\end{bmatrix}\implies\begin{bmatrix}a_n\\a_{n-1}\end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix}-3&10\\1&0\end{bmatrix}^2\begin{bmatrix}a_{n-2}\\a_{n-3}\end{bmatrix}

and continuing in this way we would find that

\begin{bmatrix}a_n\\a_{n-1}\end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix}-3&10\\1&0\end{bmatrix}^{n-2}\begin{bmatrix}a_2\\a_1\end{bmatrix}

Diagonalizing the coefficient matrix gives us

\begin{bmatrix}-3&10\\1&0\end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix}-5&2\\1&1\end{bmatrix}\begin{bmatrix}-5&0\\0&2\end{bmatrix}\begin{bmatrix}-5&2\\1&1\end{bmatrix}^{-1}

which makes taking the (n-2)-th power trivial:

\begin{bmatrix}-3&10\\1&0\end{bmatrix}^{n-2}=\begin{bmatrix}-5&2\\1&1\end{bmatrix}\begin{bmatrix}-5&0\\0&2\end{bmatrix}^{n-2}\begin{bmatrix}-5&2\\1&1\end{bmatrix}^{-1}

\begin{bmatrix}-3&10\\1&0\end{bmatrix}^{n-2}=\begin{bmatrix}-5&2\\1&1\end{bmatrix}\begin{bmatrix}(-5)^{n-2}&0\\0&2^{n-2}\end{bmatrix}\begin{bmatrix}-5&2\\1&1\end{bmatrix}^{-1}

So we have

\begin{bmatrix}a_n\\a_{n-1}\end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix}-5&2\\1&1\end{bmatrix}\begin{bmatrix}(-5)^{n-2}&0\\0&2^{n-2}\end{bmatrix}\begin{bmatrix}-5&2\\1&1\end{bmatrix}^{-1}\begin{bmatrix}a_2\\a_1\end{bmatrix}

and in particular,

a_n=\dfrac{29\left(2(-5)^{n-1}+5\cdot2^{n-1}\right)-47\left(-(-5)^{n-1}+2^{n-1}\right)}7

a_n=\dfrac{105(-5)^{n-1}+98\cdot2^{n-1}}7

a_n=15(-5)^{n-1}+14\cdot2^{n-1}

\boxed{a_n=-3(-5)^n+7\cdot2^n}

From 1,126 meters above sea level, Dedra took off in her helicopter and ascended 228 meters. What is Dedra's elevation now?
Andreas93 [3]

Answer: She is 1,354 meters above sea level.

Step-by-step explanation:

because it says she ascended, you add the total (228 meters) to her current 1,126 meters, which is a total of 1,354.

(a) 3 - 2/3÷4/3 × 7<br>(b) [(2/3)/(5/6)]-2/5<br>(c) {(-3/4) +( 1/2)}/{(2/5)-(5/2)}<br>​
BartSMP [9]

Step-by-step explanation:

a. (3 - 2/3) ÷ (4/3 x 7)

= [(3 x 3) / (1 x 3) - 2/3] ÷ 28/3

= (9/3 - 2/3) ÷ 28/3

= 7/3 x 3/28

= 21/84

= (21 x 1) / (21 x 4)

= 1/4

b. 2/3 ÷ 5/6 - 2/5

= 2/3 x 6/5 - 2/5

= 12/15 - 2/5

= (3 x 4) / (3 x 5) - 2/5

= 4/5 - 2/5

= 2/5

c. (- 3/4 + 1/2) ÷ (2/5 - 5/2)

= [- 3/4 + (1 x 12) / (2 x 2)] ÷ [(2 x 2) / (5 x 2) - (5 x 5) / (2 x 5)]

= (- 3/4 + 12/4) ÷ (4/10 - 25/10)

= 9/4 ÷ (- 21/10)

= 9/4 x - 10/21

= - 90/84

= (6 x - 15) / (6 x 14)

= - 15/14.

If you have any doubt, then you can ask me in the comments.
