Find two power series solutions of the given differential equation about the ordinary point x = 0. y'' + xy = 0

nalin [4]

Answer:

First we write y and its derivatives as power series:

y=∑n=0∞anxn⟹y′=∑n=1∞nanxn−1⟹y′′=∑n=2∞n(n−1)anxn−2

Next, plug into differential equation:

(x+2)y′′+xy′−y=0

(x+2)∑n=2∞n(n−1)anxn−2+x∑n=1∞nanxn−1−∑n=0∞anxn=0

x∑n=2∞n(n−1)anxn−2+2∑n=2∞n(n−1)anxn−2+x∑n=1∞nanxn−1−∑n=0∞anxn=0

Move constants inside of summations:

∑n=2∞x⋅n(n−1)anxn−2+∑n=2∞2⋅n(n−1)anxn−2+∑n=1∞x⋅nanxn−1−∑n=0∞anxn=0

∑n=2∞n(n−1)anxn−1+∑n=2∞2n(n−1)anxn−2+∑n=1∞nanxn−∑n=0∞anxn=0

Change limits so that the exponents for x are the same in each summation:

∑n=1∞(n+1)nan+1xn+∑n=0∞2(n+2)(n+1)an+2xn+∑n=1∞nanxn−∑n=0∞anxn=0

Pull out any terms from sums, so that each sum starts at same lower limit (n=1)

∑n=1∞(n+1)nan+1xn+4a2+∑n=1∞2(n+2)(n+1)an+2xn+∑n=1∞nanxn−a0−∑n=1∞anxn=0

Combine all sums into a single sum:

4a2−a0+∑n=1∞(2(n+2)(n+1)an+2+(n+1)nan+1+(n−1)an)xn=0

Now we must set each coefficient, including constant term =0 :

4a2−a0=0⟹4a2=a0

2(n+2)(n+1)an+2+(n+1)nan+1+(n−1)an=0

We would usually let a0 and a1 be arbitrary constants. Then all other constants can be expressed in terms of these two constants, giving us two linearly independent solutions. However, since a0=4a2 , I’ll choose a1 and a2 as the two arbitrary constants. We can still express all other constants in terms of a1 and/or a2 .

an+2=−(n+1)nan+1+(n−1)an2(n+2)(n+1)

a3=−(2⋅1)a2+0a12(3⋅2)=−16a2=−13!a2

a4=−(3⋅2)a3+1a22(4⋅3)=0=04!a2

a5=−(4⋅3)a4+2a32(5⋅4)=15!a2

a6=−(5⋅4)a5+3a42(6⋅5)=−26!a2

We see a pattern emerging here:

an=(−1)(n+1)n−4n!a2

This can be proven by mathematical induction. In fact, this is true for all n≥0 , except for n=1 , since a1 is an arbitrary constant independent of a0 (and therefore independent of a2 ).

Plugging back into original power series for y , we get:

y=a0+a1x+a2x2+a3x3+a4x4+a5x5+⋯

y=4a2+a1x+a2x2−13!a2x3+04!a2x4+15!a2x5−⋯

y=a1x+a2(4+x2−13!x3+04!x4+15!x5−⋯)

Notice that the expression following constant a2 is =4+ a power series (starting at n=2 ). However, if we had the appropriate x -term, we would have a power series starting at n=0 . Since the other independent solution is simply y1=x, then we can let a1=c1−3c2, a2=c2 , and we get:

y=(c1−3c2)x+c2(4+x2−13!x3+04!x4+15!x5−⋯)

y=c1x+c2(4−3x+x2−13!x3+04!x4+15!x5−⋯)

y=c1x+c2(−0−40!+0−31!x−2−42!x2+3−43!x3−4−44!x4+5−45!x5−⋯)

y=c1x+c2∑n=0∞(−1)n+1n−4n!xn

Is Statistics mathematics or science? Defend your answer.

ohaa [14]

Statistics is related to maths because we study, use and even consider statistic problems with reference to mathematics.

• It is mostly used to find the census, which is maths.

• It is used to find interest rates and other banking terms using statistics, which is again related to math.

• It is also used to find the average people living in a village or panchayat, which is also math.

Therefore I strongly believe that Statistics is Maths.

Thank You!

Please solve the following question.

mylen [45]

Answer:

103, 776

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 48 possibilities, and you are picking 3.

Now, the order does matter (aka, if the same 3 athletes won but got different places, we would still consider it to be a separate possibility)

(this is considered "without repetitions")

the number of permutations (arrangement combinations where the order does matter) without repetitions formula:

Number of permutations

without <em>repetitions </em>= nPr

= $\frac{n!}{(n-r)!}$

(

[the P is for combinations [where the order does matter, if the order didn't matter then it would be C, and it would be a different formula.]

n is the total number of objects.

r is the number of objects selected]

<em>(a repetition would be like two versions of the same person competing, which doesn't make sense)</em>

{the ! means factorial:

5! = 5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1}

{for example, if there are 5 people to give a presentation, and they can go in any order [but cannot repeat their presentation], so they all must fill 5 slots}

{for the first slot there are 5 choices, the second slot there are 4 choices...}

)

So, if we follow this formula:

$\frac{n!}{(n-r)!}$

n: 48

r: 3

$\frac{48!}{(48-3)!}$

= $\frac{48!}{45!}$

= $\frac{48 * 47*46*45!}{45!}$

(the 45! cancel out)

= 48 * 47 * 46

= 103, 776

(or, without the formula:

for the first choice (lets say of gold), there are 48 options

for the second choice (lets say silver), there are 47 options left to choose from

for the third choice (lets say bronze), there are 46 options left to choose from

)
