The first four terms of a sequence are \text{3, -6, 12, -24}. Write an explicit formula for this sequence, where n is any term n

You can see that each term is twice the previous one, with inverted sign.

You double a number by multiplying it by two, and you change its sign by multiplying it by -1.

So, you multiply each term by 2 and by -1, which results in a multiplication by -2.

Since we start with 3, the terms are

$a_1 = 3$

$a_2 = 3\cdot (-2) = -6$

$a_3 = -6\cdot (-2) = 12$

and so on. So, the general term is

$a_n = 3\cdot(-2)^{n-1}$

To estimate this sample to sample variance or uncertainty is the goal of statistical inference.

What is the purpose of statistical inferences ?

To be able to make inferences about a population based on data from a sample is the goal of statistical inference.
The process of statistical inference involves selecting a sample, gathering data from that sample, calculating a statistic from the data, and drawing conclusions about the population from that statistic.

How is statistical inference used to draw conclusions?

Estimation and hypothesis testing are components of statistical inference (evaluating a notion about a population using a sample) (estimating the value or potential range of values of some characteristic of the population based on that of a sample).

Use Euler's method with step size 0.2 to estimate y(1), where y(x) is the solution of the initial-value problem y' = x2y − 1 2 y

irina [24]

Answer:

Therefore the value of y(1)= 0.9152.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the Euler's method

y(x+h)≈ y(x) + hy'(x) ....(1)

Given that y(0) =3 and step size (h) = 0.2.

$y'(x)= x^2y(x)-\frac12y^2(x)$

Putting the value of y'(x) in equation (1)

$y(x+h)\approx y(x) +h(x^2y(x)-\frac12y^2(x))$

Substituting x =0 and h= 0.2

$y(0+0.2)\approx y(0)+0.2[0\times y(0)-\frac12 (y(0))^2]$

$\Rightarrow y(0.2)\approx 3+0.2[-\frac12 \times3]$ [∵ y(0) =3 ]

$\Rightarrow y(0.2)\approx 2.7$

Substituting x =0.2 and h= 0.2

$y(0.2+0.2)\approx y(0.2)+0.2[(0.2)^2\times y(0.2)-\frac12 (y(0.2))^2]$

$\Rightarrow y(0.4)\approx 2.7+0.2[(0.2)^2\times 2.7- \frac12(2.7)^2]$

$\Rightarrow y(0.4)\approx 1.9926$

Substituting x =0.4 and h= 0.2

$y(0.4+0.2)\approx y(0.4)+0.2[(0.4)^2\times y(0.4)-\frac12 (y(0.4))^2]$

$\Rightarrow y(0.6)\approx 1.9926+0.2[(0.4)^2\times 1.9926- \frac12(1.9926)^2]$

$\Rightarrow y(0.6)\approx 1.6593$

Substituting x =0.6 and h= 0.2

$y(0.6+0.2)\approx y(0.6)+0.2[(0.6)^2\times y(0.6)-\frac12 (y(0.6))^2]$

$\Rightarrow y(0.8)\approx 1.6593+0.2[(0.6)^2\times 1.6593- \frac12(1.6593)^2]$

$\Rightarrow y(0.6)\approx 0.8800$

Substituting x =0.8 and h= 0.2

$y(0.8+0.2)\approx y(0.8)+0.2[(0.8)^2\times y(0.8)-\frac12 (y(0.8))^2]$

$\Rightarrow y(1.0)\approx 0.8800+0.2[(0.8)^2\times 0.8800- \frac12(0.8800)^2]$

$\Rightarrow y(1.0)\approx 0.9152$

Therefore the value of y(1)= 0.9152.
