Gamal spent $12.50 at the book store. The difference between the amount he spent at the video game store and the amount he spent

at the book store was $17. The equation d minus 12.50 = 17 can be used to represent this situation, where d is the amount Gamal spent at the video game store. Which equation is an equivalent equation that can be used to find the amount Gamal spent at the video game store?

Answer:

d - 12.50 = 17

add 12.50 to both sides to get d alone.

d = 12.50 + 17

Solve the recurrence relation: hn = 5hn−1 − 6hn−2 − 4hn−3 + 8hn−4 with initial values h0 = 0, h1 = 1, h2 = 1, and h3 = 2 using (

musickatia [10]

(a) Suppose $h_n=r^n$ is a solution for this recurrence, with $r\neq0$ . Then

$r^n=5r^{n-1}-6r^{n-2}-4r^{n-3}+8r^{n-4}$
$\implies1=\dfrac5r-\dfrac6{r^2}-\dfrac4{r^3}+\dfrac8{r^4}$
$\implies r^4-5r^3+6r^2+4r-8=0$
$\implies (r-2)^3(r+1)=0\implies r=2,r=-1$

So we expect a general solution of the form

$h_n=c_1(-1)^n+(c_2+c_3n+c_4n^2)2^n$

With $h_0=0,h_1=1,h_2=1,h_3=2$ , we get four equations in four unknowns:

$\begin{cases}c_1+c_2=0\\-c_1+2c_2+2c_3+2c_4=1\\c_1+4c_2+8c_3+16c_4=1\\-c_1+8c_2+24c_3+72c_4=2\end{cases}\implies c_1=-\dfrac8{27},c_2=\dfrac8{27},c_3=\dfrac7{72},c_4=-\dfrac1{24}$

So the particular solution to the recurrence is

$h_n=-\dfrac8{27}(-1)^n+\left(\dfrac8{27}+\dfrac{7n}{72}-\dfrac{n^2}{24}\right)2^n$

(b) Let $G(x)=\displaystyle\sum_{n\ge0}h_nx^n$ be the generating function for $h_n$ . Multiply both sides of the recurrence by $x^n$ and sum over all $n\ge4$ .

$\displaystyle\sum_{n\ge4}h_nx^n=5\sum_{n\ge4}h_{n-1}x^n-6\sum_{n\ge4}h_{n-2}x^n-4\sum_{n\ge4}h_{n-3}x^n+8\sum_{n\ge4}h_{n-4}x^n$
$\displaystyle\sum_{n\ge4}h_nx^n=5x\sum_{n\ge3}h_nx^n-6x^2\sum_{n\ge2}h_nx^n-4x^3\sum_{n\ge1}h_nx^n+8x^4\sum_{n\ge0}h_nx^n$
$G(x)-h_0-h_1x-h_2x^2-h_3x^3=5x(G(x)-h_0-h_1x-h_2x^2)-6x^2(G(x)-h_0-h_1x)-4x^3(G(x)-h_0)+8x^4G(x)$
$G(x)-x-x^2-2x^3=5x(G(x)-x-x^2)-6x^2(G(x)-x)-4x^3G(x)+8x^4G(x)$
$(1-5x+6x^2+4x^3-8x^4)G(x)=x-4x^2+3x^3$
$G(x)=\dfrac{x-4x^2+3x^3}{1-5x+6x^2+4x^3-8x^4}$
$G(x)=\dfrac{17}{108}\dfrac1{1-2x}+\dfrac29\dfrac1{(1-2x)^2}-\dfrac1{12}\dfrac1{(1-2x)^3}-\dfrac8{27}\dfrac1{1+x}$

From here you would write each term as a power series (easy enough, since they're all geometric or derived from a geometric series), combine the series into one, and the solution to the recurrence will be the coefficient of $x^n$ , ideally matching the solution found in part (a).

Find the annual rate of growth (interest rate) on an account that was worth $200 in 1975 and $415.79 in 1990

kodGreya [7K]

The percent change from one period to another is calculated from the formula:

<span><span> Where:<span>PR = Percent Rate
VPresent = Present or Future Value
VPast = Past or Present Value</span></span><span>The annual percentage growth rate is simply the percent growth divided by N, the number of years.</span>
(415.79-200)/200*100=107.89
The annual<span> percentage growth rate is simply the percent growth divided by N, the number of years.</span>

Biologists conducted a study to investigate the flying velocity of mosquitoes both before and after feeding. The following scatt

Lesechka [4]

Answer:

It represents a mosquito that flew very fast after feeding relative to all other mosquitoes.

Step-by-step explanation:

The point is unusual because the velocity of the mosquito is substantially greater than all other velocities and is probably an outlier.

The amount of time required to reach a customer service representative has a huge impact on customer satisfaction. Below is the

Vika [28.1K]

Answer:

The value of the test statistic is t=1.12.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a hypothesis test for the difference between populations means.

The claim is that the mean amount of time required to reach a customer service representative significantly differs between the two hotels.

Then, the null and alternative hypothesis are:

$H_0: \mu_1-\mu_2=0\\\\H_a:\mu_1-\mu_2\neq 0$

The sample 1, of size n1=20 has a mean of 2.65 and a standard deviation of √2.952=1.72.

The sample 2, of size n2=20 has a mean of 2.01 and a standard deviation of √2.952=1.89.

The difference between sample means is Md=0.64.

$M_d=M_1-M_2=2.65-2.01=0.64$

The estimated standard error of the difference between means is computed using the formula:

$s_{M_d}=\sqrt{\dfrac{\sigma_1^2+\sigma_2^2}{n}}=\sqrt{\dfrac{1.72^2+1.89^2}{20}}\\\\\\s_{M_d}=\sqrt{\dfrac{6.531}{20}}=\sqrt{0.327}=0.571$

Then, we can calculate the t-statistic as:

$t=\dfrac{M_d-(\mu_1-\mu_2)}{s_{M_d}}=\dfrac{0.64-0}{0.571}=\dfrac{0.64}{0.571}=1.12$

The equation 3w + 4j = 39 is used to determine the number of water bottles w and the number of juice bottles j that can be bough

jarptica [38.1K]

Juice bottles are J, replace j with 6 in the equation and solve for w:

3w + 4(6) = 39

3w + 24 =39

Subtract 24 from both sides:

3w = 15

Divide both sides by 3:

w = 15/3

w = 5

You can buy 5 water bottles.
