Answer:

an = 9n -16

Step-by-step explanation:

First find the common difference, d

Take the second term and subtract the first

2 - (-7) = 2+7 = 9

We are adding 9 each time

Check 2+9 =11, check 11+9 = 20 check

The first term in the sequence is a1 so a1 =-7

an = a1 + d(n-1)

an = -7 + 9(n-1)

Distribute

an = -7 +9n-9

Combine like terms

an = 9n -16

Consider the differential equation: dy/dx = (y-2)(x^2+1)

Klio2033 [76]

Answer:

6

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

$\dfrac{dy}{dx}=(y-2)(x^2+1)$ ...(i)

Differentiating w.r. to x.

$\dfrac{d^2y}{dx^2}= (y-2)(2x)+ (x^2+1)\dfrac{dy}{dx}$

From equation (1)

$\dfrac{d^2y}{dx^2}= (y-2)(2x)+ (x^2+1)^2(y-2)$

Now, at the point (1,3)

$\dfrac{d^2y}{dx^2}= (3-2)(2\times 1)+ (1^2+1)^2(3-2)$

$\dfrac{d^2y}{dx^2}=6$
