The nth term of a sequence is 3n²-1

Answer: The number is 26.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that:

The nth term of a sequence is 3n²-1

The nth term of a different sequence is 30–n²

We want to find a number that belongs to both sequences (it is not necessarily for the same value of n) then we can use n in one term (first one), and m in the other (second one), such that n and m must be integer numbers.

we get:

3n²- 1 =  30–m²

Notice that as n increases, the terms of the first sequence also increase.

And as n increases, the terms of the second sequence decrease.

One way to solve this, is to give different values to m (m = 1, m = 2, etc) and see if we can find an integer value for n.

if m = 1, then:

3n²- 1 =  30–1²

3n²- 1 = 29

3n² = 30

n² = 30/3 = 10

n² = 10

There is no integer n such that n² = 10

now let's try with m = 2, then:

3n²- 1 =  30–2² = 30 - 4

3n²- 1 = 26

3n² = 26 + 1 = 27

n² = 27/3 = 9

n² = 9

n = √9 = 3

So here we have m = 2, and n = 3, both integers as we wanted, so we just found the term that belongs to both sequences.

the number is:

3*(3)² - 1 = 26

30 - 2² = 26

The number that belongs to both sequences is 26.

Is the following true or false? d/dx[x^3e^x]=x^2e^x (3x+2)
wolverine [178]
It's false. It's a product so...
Derivative of the first TIMES the second PLUS derivative of second TIMES the first.

Derivative of the first (x^3) = 3x^2
Times the second = 3x^2 * e^x

Derivative of the second = e^x (remains unchanged)
Times the first = e^x * x^3
So the answer would be (3x^2)(e^x) + (e^x)(x^3)
which can be factorised to form x^2·e^x(3 + x)
