Evelyn and Gianna go to the movie theater and purchase refreshments for their friends. Evelyn spends a total of $50.00 on 4 bags

of popcorn and 10 drinks. Gianna spends a total of $50.00 on 7 bags of popcorn and 5 drinks. Write a system of equations that can be used to find the price of one bag of popcorn and the price of one drink. Using these equations, determine and state the price of a drink, to the nearest cent.

Solve these recurrence relations together with the initial conditions given. a) an= an−1+6an−2 for n ≥ 2, a0= 3, a1= 6 b) an= 7a
8_murik_8 [283]

Answer:

  • a) 3/5·((-2)^n + 4·3^n)
  • b) 3·2^n - 5^n
  • c) 3·2^n + 4^n
  • d) 4 - 3 n
  • e) 2 + 3·(-1)^n
  • f) (-3)^n·(3 - 2n)
  • g) ((-2 - √19)^n·(-6 + √19) + (-2 + √19)^n·(6 + √19))/√19

Step-by-step explanation:

These homogeneous recurrence relations of degree 2 have one of two solutions. Problems a, b, c, e, g have one solution; problems d and f have a slightly different solution. The solution method is similar, up to a point.

If there is a solution of the form a[n]=r^n, then it will satisfy ...

  r^n=c_1\cdot r^{n-1}+c_2\cdot r^{n-2}

Rearranging and dividing by r^{n-2}, we get the quadratic ...

  r^2-c_1r-c_2=0

The quadratic formula tells us values of r that satisfy this are ...

  r=\dfrac{c_1\pm\sqrt{c_1^2+4c_2}}{2}

We can call these values of r by the names r₁ and r₂.

Then, for some coefficients p and q, the solution to the recurrence relation is ...

  a[n]=pr_1^n+qr_2^n

We can find p and q by solving the initial condition equations:

\left[\begin{array}{cc}1&1\\r_1&r_2\end{array}\right] \left[\begin{array}{c}p\\q\end{array}\right] =\left[\begin{array}{c}a[0]\\a[1]\end{array}\right]

These have the solution ...

p=\dfrac{a[0]r_2-a[1]}{r_2-r_1}\\\\q=\dfrac{a[1]-a[0]r_1}{r_2-r_1}

_____

Using these formulas on the first recurrence relation, we get ...

a)

c_1=1,\ c_2=6,\ a[0]=3,\ a[1]=6\\\\r_1=\dfrac{1+\sqrt{1^2+4\cdot 6}}{2}=3,\ r_2=\dfrac{1-\sqrt{1^2+4\cdot 6}}{2}=-2\\\\p=\dfrac{3(-2)-6}{-5}=\dfrac{12}{5},\ q=\dfrac{6-3(3)}{-5}=\dfrac{3}{5}\\\\a[n]=\dfrac{3}{5}(-2)^n+\dfrac{12}{5}3^n

__

The rest of (b), (c), (e), (g) are solved in exactly the same way. A spreadsheet or graphing calculator can ease the process of finding the roots and coefficients for the given recurrence constants. (It's a matter of plugging in the numbers and doing the arithmetic.)

_____

For problems (d) and (f), the quadratic has one root with multiplicity 2. So, the formulas for p and q don't work and we must do something different. The generic solution in this case is ...

  a[n]=(p+qn)r^n

The initial condition equations are now ...

\left[\begin{array}{cc}1&0\\r&r\end{array}\right] \left[\begin{array}{c}p\\q\end{array}\right] =\left[\begin{array}{c}a[0]\\a[1]\end{array}\right]

and the solutions for p and q are ...

p=a[0]\\\\q=\dfrac{a[1]-a[0]r}{r}

__

Using these formulas on problem (d), we get ...

d)

c_1=2,\ c_2=-1,\ a[0]=4,\ a[1]=1\\\\r=\dfrac{2+\sqrt{2^2+4(-1)}}{2}=1\\\\p=4,\ q=\dfrac{1-4(1)}{1}=-3\\\\a[n]=4-3n

__

And for problem (f), we get ...

f)

c_1=-6,\ c_2=-9,\ a[0]=3,\ a[1]=-3\\\\r=\dfrac{-6+\sqrt{6^2+4(-9)}}{2}=-3\\\\p=3,\ q=\dfrac{-3-3(-3)}{-3}=-2\\\\a[n]=(3-2n)(-3)^n

_____

<em>Comment on problem g</em>

Yes, the bases of the exponential terms are conjugate irrational numbers. When the terms are evaluated, they do resolve to rational numbers.

Joe asked the children in his class which flavours of ice-cream they like.
Leya [2.2K]

Answer:

a. 19

b. 14

Step-by-step explanation:

From the venn diagram, we see that:

9 children like only Vanilla

7 like vanilla and chocolate

12 like only chocolate, and

2 like neither chocolate nor vanilla

Thus:

a. Number of children that liked Chocolate ice-cream = those that like chocolate only + those that like both chocolate and vanilla = 12 + 7 = 19

19 children like chocolate ice-cream.

b. Number of children who do not like Vanilla ice-cream = those that like chocolate only + those that do not like neither chocolate nor vanilla = 12 + 2 = 14

14 children do not like vanilla ice-cream.

joseph has a new rectangular aquarium. the aquarium has a length of four feet, width of two feet and height of two feet. What is
Darina [25.2K]
12 inches go into one foot, so we can calculate the volume of the tank in inches to make the calculations that follow easier. Therefore, to calculate the volume of the tank, we use length x breadth x height = 4 x 2 x 2 = 16 square feet x 12 for square inches = 192 square inches. 
Every 12 square inches Joseph can fit a one inch fish. The fish that he has are 3 inches long, therefore he can only fit one fish every 36 square inches. 
That means that if we take the total volume of the tank and divide it by the space that a 3 inch fish will take up, we are left with 192/36 = 5.3 fish.
You cannot have a third of a fish, so we round off to the nearest whole number, and we determine that Joseph can put 5 fish in his new aquarium.

Please help meeh thank u thank u
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer:

The location would be between 4 and 5.

Step-by-step explanation:

The square root of 19 would be around 4.3. So you would put a mark between the two lines that are in between the 4 and 5.
