What are the solutions of x2 = 8 - 5x?

jonny [76]

Answer:

That can be re-written:

x^2 + 5x -8 = 0

We use the Quadratic Formula

a=1

b = 5

c = -8

x = [-b +- sq root (b^2 - 4ac) ] / 2a

x = [-5 +- sq root (25 - - 32)] / 2

x1 = [-5 + sq root (57)] / 2

x1 = 1.27491722

x2 = [-5 - sq root (57)] / 2

x2 = -6.2749172176

Find an equation for the nth term of a geometric sequence where the second and fifth terms are -2 and 16, respectively.

Tju [1.3M]

Hello :
the nth term of a geometric sequence is :
Un = Up ×r^(n-p) . r is the common ratio
for : p=5 and n= 2
U5 = U2 ×r^3
16 = -2 r^3
r^3 = -8
but : -8 = (-2)^3
so : r = -2
Un = U2 × r^(n-2)
Un = -2 ×(-2)^(n-2)= (-2)^(n-2+1)

the nth term of a geometric sequenceis : Un = (-2)^(n-1)

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming that the differential equation is

$\frac{dP}{dt} = 0.04P\left(1-\frac{P}{500}\right)$ .

We need to solve it and obtain an expression for $P(t)$ in order to complete the exercise.

First of all, this is an example of the logistic equation, which has the general form

$\frac{dP}{dt} = kP\left(1-\frac{P}{K}\right)$ .

In order to make the calculation easier we are going to solve the general equation, and later substitute the values of the constants, notice that $k=0.04$ and $K=500$ and the initial condition $P(0)=100$ .
