You can try to show this by induction:

• According to the given closed form, we have S_1=3\times2^{1-1}+2(-1)^1=3-2=1, which agrees with the initial value <em>S</em>₁ = 1.

• Assume the closed form is correct for all <em>n</em> up to <em>n</em> = <em>k</em>. In particular, we assume

S_{k-1}=3\times2^{(k-1)-1}+2(-1)^{k-1}=3\times2^{k-2}+2(-1)^{k-1}

and

S_k=3\times2^{k-1}+2(-1)^k

We want to then use this assumption to show the closed form is correct for <em>n</em> = <em>k</em> + 1, or

S_{k+1}=3\times2^{(k+1)-1}+2(-1)^{k+1}=3\times2^k+2(-1)^{k+1}

From the given recurrence, we know

S_{k+1}=S_k+2S_{k-1}

so that

S_{k+1}=3\times2^{k-1}+2(-1)^k + 2\left(3\times2^{k-2}+2(-1)^{k-1}\right)

S_{k+1}=3\times2^{k-1}+2(-1)^k + 3\times2^{k-1}+4(-1)^{k-1}

S_{k+1}=2\times3\times2^{k-1}+(-1)^k\left(2+4(-1)^{-1}\right)

S_{k+1}=3\times2^k-2(-1)^k

S_{k+1}=3\times2^k+2(-1)(-1)^k

\boxed{S_{k+1}=3\times2^k+2(-1)^{k+1}}

which is what we needed. QED

An apple grower finds that if he plants 80 trees per acre, each tree will yield 26 bushels of fruit. He estimates that for each
hammer [34]

Answer: The maximum revenue is $7482 . To get a maximum yield , The number of trees per acre needed is 43.

Step-by-step explanation:

Solution:

Let x represent the extra tree

So for an additional tree the yield of each tree will decrease by 4 bushels.

(80 +x)(26-4x) by expanding

2080 - 320x +26x -4x^2

Using x= -b/2a

X= 294/ -8

X= - 36.75

So apparently he currently has far too many trees per acre. To get the maximum yield , she needs to reduce the number of trees per acre by 36.75

So the number of trees per acre for maximum yield is

80-36.75

=43.25

Approximately x=43

So by reducing he get extra bushel in the tune of 174.

Total revenue= 174 ×43× 1$

=$7482

Wha) is the image of the point (9,2) after a rotation of 90° counterclockwise about the origin?
ElenaW [278]

Given the point:

(x, y) ==> (9, 2)

Let's find the new point of the image after a rotation of 90 degrees counterclockwise about the origin.

To find the image of the point after a rotation of 90 degrees counterclockwise, apply the rules of rotation.

After a rotation of 90 degrees counterclockwise, the point (x, y) changes to (-y, x)

Thus, we have the point after the rotation:

(x, y) ==> (-y, x)

(9, 2) ==> (-2, 9)

Therefore, the image of the points after a rotation of 90 degrees counterclockwise is:

(-2, 9)

ANSWER:

(-2, 9)
