Find a compact form for generating functions of the sequence 1, 8,27,... , k^3

pantera1 [17]

This sequence has generating function

$F(x)=\displaystyle\sum_{k\ge0}k^3x^k$

(if we include $k=0$ for a moment)

Recall that for $|x|$ , we have

$\displaystyle\frac1{1-x}=\sum_{k\ge0}x^k$

Take the derivative to get

$\displaystyle\frac1{(1-x)^2}=\sum_{k\ge0}kx^{k-1}=\frac1x\sum_{k\ge0}kx^k$

$\implies\dfrac x{(1-x)^2}=\displaystyle\sum_{k\ge0}kx^k$

Take the derivative again:

$\displaystyle\frac{(1-x)^2+2x(1-x)}{(1-x)^4}=\sum_{k\ge0}k^2x^{k-1}=\frac1x\sum_{k\ge0}k^2x^k$

$\implies\displaystyle\frac{x+x^2}{(1-x)^3}=\sum_{k\ge0}k^2x^k$

Take the derivative one more time:

$\displaystyle\frac{(1+2x)(1-x)^3+3(x+x^2)(1-x)^2}{(1-x)^6}=\sum_{k\ge0}k^3x^{k-1}=\frac1x\sum_{k\ge0}k^3x^k$

$\implies\displaystyle\frac{x+4x^3+x^3}{(1-x)^4}=\sum_{k\ge0}k^3x^k$

so we have

$\boxed{F(x)=\dfrac{x+4x^3+x^3}{(1-x)^4}}$

Two small planes leave Sacramento and LA, which are 380 miles apart, and travel toward each other. If one plane travels 30 miles

Anettt [7]

The sum of their speeds is 380 miles per hour. The difference of their speeds is 30 miles per hour. Then the faster plane is traveling at
.. (380 +30)/2 = 205 miles per hour

The slower plane's speed is 30 miles per hour less, so it is traveling at
.. 205 mph -30 mph = 175 miles per hour

Mrs. Smith has a total of 25 kids in her class. There are 3 more boys than there are girls. Write a system of equations to model

Svetlanka [38]

Answer:

b + g = 25

b = g + 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Let b = number of boys.

Let g = number of girls.

"Mrs. Smith has a total of 25 kids in her class."

b + g = 25

"There are 3 more boys than there are girls."

b = g + 3

The system of equations is:

b + g = 25

b = g + 3
