Via the generating function method, let

Then take the recurrence,

multiply everything by

and sum over all

:

Re-index the sums or add/remove terms as needed in order to be able to express them in terms of

:



So the recurrence relation is transformed to



For appropriate values of

, we can express the RHS in terms of geometric power series:

which tells us that
a)
Answer: 0.91 m
Explanation:
We know that,
P.E. = m g h
Where,
P.E = Potential energy
m = Mass of the object
g = acceleration due to gravity (9.8 m/s²)
It is given that, m = 1.5 kg
P.E. = 13.44 J
⇒ 13.44 = 1.5 kg × 9.8 m/s² × h
⇒ h = 0.91 m
Hence, apple sits om 0.91 m tall counter.
b)
Answer: 216 J
Explanation:
P.E. = m g h
Weight, mg = 120 N ( given)
height, h = 1.8 m ( given)
The energy possessed by the suitcase is due to virtue of its position (gravitational potential energy)
P.E. = 120 N × 1.8 m = 216 J
Hence, the energy possessed by the suitcase sitting on the counter is 216 J.
Written in 2-point form, the equation of the line is
y = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)·(x-x1) +y1
y = (3-(-5))/(-6-(-4))·(x-(-4)) + (-5)
y = 8/-2·(x +4) - 5
y = -4x -21
The value of b is -21.
