Answer:

58kg, 70kg and 72kg

Step-by-step explanation:

Starting weight was 200.

Boy 1- Changed from 200 to 142. 200kg - 142kg= 58 kg

Boy 2- Changed from 142 to 72.  142kg- 72kg = 70kg

Boy 3- Last one on the scale and it showed 72kg so his weight is 72kg

Find the generating function for the sequence 1,-2,4,-8, 16, ...
kirill [66]

Answer:

  a(x)=\dfrac{1}{1+2x}

Step-by-step explanation:

The generating function a(x) produces a power series ...

  a(x)=a_0+a_1x+a_2x^2+a_3x^3+\dots

where the coefficients are the elements of the given sequence.

We observe that the given sequence has the recurrence relation ...

  a_0=1;a_n=-2a_{n-1} \quad\text{for n $>$ 0}

This can be rearranged to ...

  a_n+2a_{n-1}=0

We can formulate this in terms of a(x) as follows, then solve for a(x).

\sum\limits^{\infty}_{n=1} {a_{n}x^n} =a(x)-a_0 \quad\text{and}\\\\\sum\limits^{\infty}_{n=1} {2a_{n-1}x^n} =(2x)a(x) \quad\text{so}\\\\\sum\limits^{\infty}_{n=1} {(a_n+2a_{n-1})x^n}=0=a(x)-a_0+2xa(x)\\\\a(x)=\dfrac{a_0}{1+2x}=\dfrac{1}{1+2x}

The generating function is ...

  a(x) = 1/(1+2x)

A line passes through the point (-6,7) and has a slope of -2 write an equation in point slope form for this line
Anuta_ua [19.1K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

(-6,7) & m = -2

point slope form of line :  y - y₁   = m (x-x₁)

y - 7 = (-2) (x - [-6] )

y - 7 = (-2) (x + 6)

y - 7 = -2x - 2 * 6

y - 7 = -2x - 12

2x  + y = -12 +7

 2x + y = -5   0r  y = -2x - 5

Use Lagrange multipliers to find the maximum and minimum values of f(x,y)=x+4y subject to the constraint x2+y2=9, if such values
Vesnalui [34]

The Lagrangian is

L(x,y,\lambda)=x+4y+\lambda(x^2+y^2-9)

with critical points where the partial derivatives vanish.

L_x=1+2\lambda x=0\implies x=-\dfrac1{2\lambda}

L_y=4+2\lambda y=0\implies y=-\dfrac2\lambda

L_\lambda=x^2+y^2-9=0

Substitute x,y into the last equation and solve for \lambda:

\left(-\dfrac1{2\lambda}\right)^2+\left(-\dfrac2\lambda\right)^2=9\implies\lambda=\pm\dfrac{\sqrt{17}}6

Then we get two critical points,

(x,y)=\left(-\dfrac3{\sqrt{17}},-\dfrac{12}{\sqrt{17}}\right)\text{ and }(x,y)=\left(\dfrac3{\sqrt{17}},\dfrac{12}{\sqrt{17}}\right)

We get an absolute maximum of 3\sqrt{17}\approx12.369 at the second point, and an absolute minimum of -3\sqrt{17}\approx-12.369 at the first point.

What is 10 minutes before 9
Neporo4naja [7]
10 minutes before 9 is 8:50. since any time on the hour is at a perfect 60 minutes, you subtract the minutes given and move 1 hour back to find your answer.
for example, if you were asked what 20 minutes before 10 was. you start by subtracting 20 from 60. 60-20= 40, this being your minutes. 10-1 is 9, this being your hour, making the final answer 9:40.
