Find the area of each figure.

Find the general term of sequence defined by these conditions.

disa [49]

Answer:

$\displaystyle a_{n} = (2)^{2n -1} - (3) ^{n-1 }$

Step-by-step explanation:

we want to figure out the general term of the following recurrence relation

$\displaystyle \rm a_{n + 2} - 7a_{n + 1} + 12a_n = 0 \: \: where : \: \:a_1 = 1 \: ,a_2 = 5,$

we are given a linear homogeneous recurrence relation which degree is 2. In order to find the general term ,we need to make it a characteristic equation i.e

${x}^{n} = c_{1} {x}^{n - 1} + c_{2} {x}^{n - 2} + c_{3} {x}^{n -3 } { \dots} + c_{k} {x}^{n - k}$

the steps for solving a linear homogeneous recurrence relation are as follows:

Create the characteristic equation by moving every term to the left-hand side, set equal to zero.
Solve the polynomial by factoring or the quadratic formula.
Determine the form for each solution: distinct roots, repeated roots, or complex roots.
Use initial conditions to find coefficients using systems of equations or matrices.

Step-1:Create the characteristic equation

${x}^{2} - 7x+ 12= 0$

Step-2:Solve the polynomial by factoring

factor the quadratic:

$( {x}^{} - 4)(x - 3) = 0$

solve for x:

$x = \rm 4 \:and \: 3$

Step-3:Determine the form for each solution

since we've two distinct roots,we'd utilize the following formula:

$\displaystyle a_{n} = c_{1} {x} _{1} ^{n } + c_{2} {x} _{2} ^{n }$

so substitute the roots we got:

$\displaystyle a_{n} = c_{1} (4)^{n } + c_{2} (3) ^{n }$

Step-4:Use initial conditions to find coefficients using systems of equations

create the system of equation:

$\begin{cases}\displaystyle 4c_{1} +3 c_{2} = 1 \\ 16c_{1} + 9c_{2} = 5\end{cases}$

solve the system of equation which yields:

$\displaystyle c_{1} = \frac{1}{2} \\ c_{2} = - \frac{1}{3}$

finally substitute:

$\displaystyle a_{n} = \frac{1}{2} (4)^{n } - \frac{1}{3} (3) ^{n }$

$\displaystyle \boxed{ a_{n} = (2)^{2n-1 } - (3) ^{n -1}}$

and we're done!

How much must be deposited today into the following account in order to have $35,000 in 7 years for a down payment on a house?

Rom4ik [11]

Answer:

The amount that must be deposited is $ 19973.87.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have a relation between future value present value as:

F= P $(1 +\frac{r}{n} )^{nt}$

F=future value

P=present value

r=rate (as a decimal)

n=number of compounding periods per year

t=number of years

Now,

assume rate as 8%

35000= P $(1+\frac{0.08}{12} )^{12*7}$

or, 35000= P × $1.0067^{84}$

or, P = $\frac{35000}{1.7522}$

or, P = $ 19973.87

So you must deposit $ 19973.87 today.

Solve the equation

inysia [295]

Answer:

x ≈ 1.32, x ≈ - 5.32

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

x² + 4x - 7 = 0 ( add 7 to both sides )

x² + 4x = 7

To complete the square

add ( half the coefficient of the x- term )² to both sides

x² + 2(2)x + 4 = 7 + 4

(x + 2)² = 11 ( take the square root of both sides )

x + 2 = ± $\sqrt11}$ ( subtract 2 from both sides )

x = - 2 ± $\sqrt{11}$

Thus

x = - 2 - $\sqrt{11}$ ≈ - 5.32 ( to 2 dec. places )

x = - 2 + $\sqrt{11}$ ≈ 1.32 ( to 2 dec. places )
