Answer: 7 - 2n

Step-by-step explanation:

a1 = 5

a6 = -5 = a + (n - 1)d = a + (6 - 1)d

a + 5d = -5

Since a1 = 5

5 + 5d = -5

5d = -5 - 5

5d = -10

d = -10/5

d = -2

Therefore, the equation to calculate the nth term of this sequence will be:

= a + (n-1)d

= a + (n - 1)-2

= 5 -2n +2

= 7 - 2n

Plz help last one ty!!!!!!!

My apologies on answering late...

Same situation as the previous problem, but this time, all you need to do is state the degree of the angle instead of just providing the angle itself.

ΔABC ≅ ΔDEF

Now, we can see that ∠C ≅ ∠F. Using this information, we can find ∠C on the first triangle ( which is $75$ ° ).

Since ∠C ≅ ∠F,

m∠F is $75$ °.

Hope I caught your question in time!

Have a good one! If you need anymore help, let me know.

Let y(t) be the solution to y˙=3te−y satisfying y(0)=3 . (a) Use Euler's Method with time step h=0.2 to approximate y(0.2),y(0.4

OLEGan [10]

Answer:

$y(0.2)=3$ , $y(0.4)=3.005974448$ , $y(0.6)=3.017852169$ , $y(0.8)=3.035458382$ , and $y(1.0)=3.058523645$

The general solution is $y=\ln \left(\frac{3t^2}{2}+e^3\right)$

The error in the approximations to y(0.2), y(0.6), and y(1):

$|y(0.2)-y_{1}|=0.002982771$

$|y(0.6)-y_{3}|=0.008677796$

$|y(1)-y_{5}|=0.013499859$

Step-by-step explanation:

Point a:

The Euler's method states that:

$y_{n+1}=y_n+h \cdot f \left(t_n, y_n \right)$ where $t_{n+1}=t_n + h$

We have that $h=0.2$ , $t_{0}=0$ , $y_{0} =3$ , $f(t,y)=3te^{-y}$

We need to find $y(0.2)$ for $y'=3te^{-y}$ , when $y(0)=3$ , $h=0.2$ using the Euler's method.

So you need to:

$t_{1}=t_{0}+h=0+0.2=0.2$

$y\left(t_{1}\right)=y\left(0.2)=y_{1}=y_{0}+h \cdot f \left(t_{0}, y_{0} \right)=3+h \cdot f \left(0, 3 \right)=$

$=3 + 0.2 \cdot \left(0 \right)= 3$

$y(0.2)=3$

We need to find $y(0.4)$ for $y'=3te^{-y}$ , when $y(0)=3$ , $h=0.2$ using the Euler's method.

So you need to:

$t_{2}=t_{1}+h=0.2+0.2=0.4$

$y\left(t_{2}\right)=y\left(0.4)=y_{2}=y_{1}+h \cdot f \left(t_{1}, y_{1} \right)=3+h \cdot f \left(0.2, 3 \right)=$

$=3 + 0.2 \cdot \left(0.02987224102)= 3.005974448$

$y(0.4)=3.005974448$

The Euler's Method is detailed in the following table.

Point b:

To find the general solution of $y'=3te^{-y}$ you need to:

Rewrite in the form of a first order separable ODE:

$e^yy'\:=3t\\e^y\cdot \frac{dy}{dt} =3t\\e^y \:dy\:=3t\:dt$

Integrate each side:

$\int \:e^ydy=e^y+C$

$\int \:3t\:dt=\frac{3t^2}{2}+C$

$e^y+C=\frac{3t^2}{2}+C\\e^y=\frac{3t^2}{2}+C_{1}$

We know the initial condition y(0) = 3, we are going to use it to find the value of $C_{1}$

$e^3=\frac{3\left(0\right)^2}{2}+C_1\\C_1=e^3$

So we have:

$e^y=\frac{3t^2}{2}+e^3$

Solving for y we get:

$\ln \left(e^y\right)=\ln \left(\frac{3t^2}{2}+e^3\right)\\y\ln \left(e\right)=\ln \left(\frac{3t^2}{2}+e^3\right)\\y=\ln \left(\frac{3t^2}{2}+e^3\right)$
