y = x^2 -4x
x = -1
y = (-1)^2 - 4×-1=1+4 = 5
x= 0
y = (0)^2 - 4×0 = 0
x = 1
y = 1^2 -4×1 = 1-4 = -3
x = 2
y = 2^2 -4×2 = 4-8 = -4
x=3
y = 3^2 - 4×3 = 9-12 = -3
x = 4
y = 4^2 - 4×4 = 16 - 16 = 0
now 2nd equation
y = 2x^2 + x
x = -2
y = 2 (-2)^2 + (-2)= 8-2 = 6
x = -1
y = 2 (-1)^2+(-1)= 2-1 = 1
x = 0
y = 2(0)^2 +0 = 0
x = 1
y = 2 (1)^2 + 1 = 3
x = 2
y = 2(2)^2+2= 8 + 2 = 10
I don't know what method is referred to in "section 4.3", but I'll suppose it's reduction of order and use that to find the exact solution. Take

, so that

and we're left with the ODE linear in

:

Now suppose

has a power series expansion



Then the ODE can be written as


![\displaystyle\sum_{n\ge2}\bigg[n(n-1)a_n-(n-1)a_{n-1}\bigg]x^{n-2}=0](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cdisplaystyle%5Csum_%7Bn%5Cge2%7D%5Cbigg%5Bn%28n-1%29a_n-%28n-1%29a_%7Bn-1%7D%5Cbigg%5Dx%5E%7Bn-2%7D%3D0)
All the coefficients of the series vanish, and setting

in the power series forms for

and

tell us that

and

, so we get the recurrence

We can solve explicitly for

quite easily:

and so on. Continuing in this way we end up with

so that the solution to the ODE is

We also require the solution to satisfy

, which we can do easily by adding and subtracting a constant as needed:
Answer:
w=9
Step-by-step explanation:
Our equation is: 8w-15=57
Add 15 to both sides
-15 is now gone because we added 15 so it would be zero
and we have 72 because 15 plus 57 is 72
Now we have:
8w=72
Divide by 8 on both sides
8w cancels out to just w
and 72 divided by 8 is 9
And you're left with:
w=9
The first term a1 is given to be -4. The formula for the next terms: an = an-1 + 7 means to add 7 to the previous term to get the next.
-4, 3, 10, 17, 24, 31
