Answer:

  3.5 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

The straight line distance from the school to the mall is found using the Pythagorean theorem. That distance is the hypotenuse of a triangle that is 27 blocks in the east-west direction and 22 blocks in the north-south direction.

  d = √(27^2 +22^2) = √1213 ≈ 34.83 . . . blocks

Since each block is 0.1 miles, the distance in miles is ...

  distance to mall = (0.1 miles/block)(34.83 blocks) = 3.483 miles

Rounded to tenths, the distance from school to mall is 3.5 miles.

Find the generating function for the sequence 1,-2,4,-8, 16, ...
kirill [66]

Answer:

  a(x)=\dfrac{1}{1+2x}

Step-by-step explanation:

The generating function a(x) produces a power series ...

  a(x)=a_0+a_1x+a_2x^2+a_3x^3+\dots

where the coefficients are the elements of the given sequence.

We observe that the given sequence has the recurrence relation ...

  a_0=1;a_n=-2a_{n-1} \quad\text{for n $>$ 0}

This can be rearranged to ...

  a_n+2a_{n-1}=0

We can formulate this in terms of a(x) as follows, then solve for a(x).

\sum\limits^{\infty}_{n=1} {a_{n}x^n} =a(x)-a_0 \quad\text{and}\\\\\sum\limits^{\infty}_{n=1} {2a_{n-1}x^n} =(2x)a(x) \quad\text{so}\\\\\sum\limits^{\infty}_{n=1} {(a_n+2a_{n-1})x^n}=0=a(x)-a_0+2xa(x)\\\\a(x)=\dfrac{a_0}{1+2x}=\dfrac{1}{1+2x}

The generating function is ...

  a(x) = 1/(1+2x)

Estimate each product 3/4 times 23
storchak [24]
We would have to convert 3/4 to a decimal of 0.75 (the equivalent)
0.75*23 = 17.3

-or-

3 * 23 = 69
4 * 23 = 92
