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

Can somebody helppp ??

Answer:

10

Step-by-step explanation:

Since F is the midpoint of EG, EF and FG are equal. We know that FG is 4 units, so EF must be 4 units. We also know that FH and EF make EH, so we substitute the values that we have.

FH + EF = EH

6 + 4 = EH

EH = 10

For a concert, there are $50 reserved seat tickets and $35 general admission tickets. there are 2000 reserved seats available, a
nevsk [136]

The number of seats sold cannot be negative, so you have

... x ≥ 0, y ≥ 0

The limits on numbers of seats must be observed, so you have

... y ≤ 2000

... x + y ≤ 3000

And the revenue constraint must be met:

... 35x + 50y ≥ 90,000

Together, these inequalties are ...

{x ≥ 0, y ≥ 0, y ≤ 2000, x + y ≤ 3000, 35x + 50y ≥ 90,000}
