Prove that an = 4^n + 2(-1)^nis the solution to
olga nikolaevna [1]

Answer:

See proof below

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to verify that if we substitute a_n=4^n+2(-1)^n in the equation a_n=3a_{n-1}+4a_{n-2} the equality is true.

Let's substitute first in the right hand side:

3a_{n-1}+4a_{n-2}=3(4^{n-1}+2(-1)^{n-1})+4(4^{n-2}+2(-1)^{n-2})

Now we use the distributive laws. Also, note that (-1)^{n-1}=\frac{1}{-1}(-1)^n=(-1)(-1)^{n} (this also works when the power is n-2).

=3(4^{n-1})+6(-1)^{n-1}+4(4^{n-2})+8(-1)^{n-2}

=3(4^{n-1})+(-1)(6)(-1)^{n}+4^{n-1}+(-1)^2(8)(-1)^{n}

=4(4^{n-1})-6(-1)^{n}+8(-1)^{n}=4^n+2(-1)^n=a_n

then the sequence solves the recurrence relation.

How many and what type of solutions does the equation have?
Natali [406]
Let's solve the equation 2k^2 = 9 + 3k
First, subtract each side by (9+3k) to get 0 on the right side of the equation
2k^2 = 9 + 3k
2k^2 - (9+3k) = 9+3k - (9+3k)
2k^2 - 9 - 3k = 9 + 3k - 9 - 3k
2k^2 - 3k - 9 = 0

As you see, we got a quadratic equation of general form ax^2 + bx + c, in which a = 2, b= -3, and c = -9.
Δ = b^2 - 4ac
Δ = (-3)^2 - 4 (2)(-9)
Δ<u /> = 9 + 72
Δ<u /> = 81

Δ<u />>0 so the equation got 2 real solutions:
k = (-b + √Δ)/2a = (-(-3) + √<u />81) / 2*2 = (3+9)/4 = 12/4 = 3
AND
k = (-b -√Δ)/2a = (-(-3) - √<u />81)/2*2 = (3-9)/4 = -6/4 = -3/2

So the solutions to 2k^2 = 9+3k are k=3 and k=-3/2

A rational number is either an integer number, or a decimal number that got a definitive number of digits after the decimal point.

3 is an integer number, so it's rational.
-3/2 = -1.5, and -1.5 got a definitive number of digit after the decimal point, so it's rational.

So 2k^2 = 9 + 3k have two rational solutions (Option B).

Hope this Helps! :)

Christine has always been weak in mathematics. Based on her performance prior to the final exam in Calculus, there is a 40% chan
azamat

Answer:

There are a 25% probability that Christine fails the course.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have these following probabilities:

A 50% probability that Christine finds a tutor.

With a tutor, she has a 10% probability of failling.

A 50% probability that Christine does not find a tutor.

Without a tutor, she has a 40% probability of failing.

Probability that she fails:

10% of 50%(fail with a tutor) plus 40% of 50%(fail without a tutor). So

P = 0.1*0.5 + 0.4*0.5 = 0.25

There are a 25% probability that Christine fails the course.

The magnitude of vector a = (5,m) is 13 and the magnitude of vector b = (n, 24) is 25. What are m and n
Ulleksa [173]

Answer:

m=12\,,n=7

Step-by-step explanation:

The magnitude of vector (x,y) is given by \sqrt{x^2+y^2}

The magnitude of vector a=(5,m) is 13.

\sqrt{5^2+m^2}=13\\5^2+m^2=13^2\\25+m^2=169\\m^2=169-25\\m^2=144\\m=12

The magnitude of vector b=(n,24) is 25.

\sqrt{n^2+24^2}=25\\n^2+24^2=25^2\\n^2+576=625\\n^2=625-576\\n^2=49\\n=7

Therefore,

m=12\,,n=7
