Find the general term of {a_n}

Mathematics
1 answer:
Assoli18 [71]3 years ago

From the given recurrence, it follows that

a_{n+1} = 2a_n + 1 \\\\ a_{n+1} = 2(2a_{n-1} + 1) = 2^2a_{n-1} + 1 + 2 \\\\ a_{n+1} = 2^2(2a_{n-2}+1) + 1 + 2 = 2^3a_{n-2} + 1 + 2 + 2^2 \\\\ a_{n+1} = 2^3(2a_{n-3} + 1) + 1 + 2 + 2^2 = 2^4a_{n-3} + 1 + 2 + 2^2 + 2^3

and so on down to the first term,

a_{n+1} = 2^na_1 + \displaystyle \sum_{k=0}^{n-1}2^k

(Notice how the exponent on the 2 and the subscript of <em>a</em> in the first term add up to <em>n</em> + 1.)

Denote the remaining sum by <em>S</em> ; then

S = 1 + 2 + 2^2 + \cdots + 2^{n-1}

Multiply both sides by 2 :

2S = 2 + 2^2 + 2^3 + \cdots + 2^n

Subtract 2<em>S</em> from <em>S</em> to get

S - 2S = 1 - 2^n \implies S = 2^n - 1

So, we end up with

a_{n+1} = 4\cdot2^n + S \\\\ a_{n+1} = 2^2\cdot2^n + 2^n-1 \\\\ a_{n+1} = 2^{n+2} + 2^n - 1 \\\\\implies \boxed{a_n = 2^{n+1} + 2^{n-1} - 1}

Answer:

3a - 21

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

3(a - 7)

Required

Simplify

To do this, we apply distributive property;

3(a - 7)= 3 * a - 3 * 7

3(a - 7)= 3a - 21

Hence, the simplified form is 3a - 21

Yosef found this relationship between the quantities in the table.
Mkey [24]

Yosef should have multiplied the x-values by 80 to get the y-values.

<h3>Functions and tables</h3>

Tables are told used to arrange ungrouped data.

From the given table, we can find the equation by using the coordinate points (1, 80) and (1, 160)

<h3>Find the equation of the line</h3>

The standard equation of a line is  y = mx + b

m is the slope

b is the y-intercept

Slop = 160-80/2-1

Slope = 80

For the y-intercept

160 = 80(2) + b

b = 0

The required equation is y = 80x

This means that Yosef should have multiplied the x-values by 80 to get the y-values.

Please help me solve this please
Tems11 [23]

Answer:

x = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of two interior angles in a triangle is equal to the exterior angle that's supplementary to the third interior angle:

7x + 6 + 22 = 9x + 12 add like terms

7x + 28 = 9x + 12 export like terms to the same side of the equation

28 - 12 = 9x - 7x

16 = 2x divide both sides by 2

8 = x
