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}

What is the solution <br> 2 – 3y=1<br> x – 2y = 6
slava [35]

Answer: x = - 16

y = - 11

Step-by-step explanation:

The given system of linear equations is expressed as

2x - 3y = 1- - - - - - - - - - - - -1

x - 2y = 6 - - - - - - - - - - - -2

We would eliminate x by multiplying equation 1 by 1 and equation 2 by 2. It becomes

2x - 3y = 1- - - - - - - - - - -3

2x - 4y = 12- - - - - - - - - - - -4

Subtracting equation 4 from equation 3, it becomes

y = - 11

Substituting y = - 11 into equation 2, it becomes

x - 2 × - 11 = 6

x + 22 = 6

Subtracting 22 from the left hand side and the right hand side of the equation, it becomes

x + 22 - 22 = 6 - 22

x = - 16

Plss help me find this hcf<br><br>3a-6,a²-4​
aleksklad [387]

Step-by-step explanation:

1st expression = 3a - 6 = 3 ( a - 2 )

2nd expression = a² - 4 = a² - 2² = ( a + 2) (a - 2)

The HCF is (a -2).

Hope it helps :)❤

Your friend, Taylor, missed class today and needs some help identifying solutions to systems. Explain to Taylor how to find the
bekas [8.4K]

Answer:

Consider the system of equations,

2x-3y=10 and x-5y=15

As we know that,

'The intersection points of the graphs of the system of equations are the solutions of the system of equations'.

So, after plotting the given graphs, we see that,

The only intersection point is (0.714,-2.857).

Thus, the solution of the system is x= 0.714 and y= -2.857.
