Answer:
f) a[n] = -(-2)^n +2^n
g) a[n] = (1/2)((-2)^-n +2^-n)
Step-by-step explanation:
Both of these problems are solved in the same way. The characteristic equation comes from ...
a[n] -k²·a[n-2] = 0
Using a[n] = r^n, we have ...
r^n -k²r^(n-2) = 0
r^(n-2)(r² -k²) = 0
r² -k² = 0
r = ±k
a[n] = p·(-k)^n +q·k^n . . . . . . for some constants p and q
We find p and q from the initial conditions.
__
f) k² = 4, so k = 2.
a[0] = 0 = p + q
a[1] = 4 = -2p +2q
Dividing the second equation by 2 and adding the first, we have ...
2 = 2q
q = 1
p = -1
The solution is a[n] = -(-2)^n +2^n.
__
g) k² = 1/4, so k = 1/2.
a[0] = 1 = p + q
a[1] = 0 = -p/2 +q/2
Multiplying the first equation by 1/2 and adding the second, we get ...
1/2 = q
p = 1 -q = 1/2
Using k = 2^-1, we can write the solution as follows.
The solution is a[n] = (1/2)((-2)^-n +2^-n).
Answer:
x = 1/3
General Formulas and Concepts:
<u>Pre-Algebra</u>
- Order of Operations: BPEMDAS
- Equality Properties
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Step 1: Define equation</u>
4x + 1 = 3 - 2x
<u>Step 2: Solve for </u><em><u>x</u></em>
- Add 2x on both sides: 6x + 1 = 3
- Subtract 1 on both sides: 6x = 2
- Divide 6 on both sides: x = 1/3
<u>Step 3: Check</u>
<em>Plug in x to verify it's a solution.</em>
- Substitute: 4(1/3) + 1 = 3 - 2(1/3)
- Multiply: 4/3 + 1 = 3 - 2/3
- Add/Subtract: 7/3 = 7/3
Here we see that 7/3 does indeed equal 7/3.
∴ x = 1/3 is a solution of the equation.
