What is the following product? Assume x greater-than-or-equal-to 0 (4 x StartRoot 5 x squared EndRoot + 2 x squared StartRoot 6

makvit [3.9K]

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

(4x√5x^2 +2x^2√6)^2

remove the last ^2 by multiplying the parenthesis by each other:

(4x√5x^2 +2x^2√6) * (4x√5x^2 +2x^2√6)

use FOIL & distribute :

4x√5x(4x√5x +2x^2√6) +2x^2√6(4x√5x +2x^2√6)

apply the distributive property once more:

4x^2√5(4x^2√5)+ 4x^2√5(2x^2√6) + (2x^2√6(4x^2√5) +2x^2√6(2x^2√6)

remove parenthesis and combine like terms to get:

104x^4+16x^4√30

answer is D

Show that the Fibonacci numbers satisfy the recurrence relation fn = 5fn−4 + 3fn−5 for n = 5, 6, 7, . . . , together with the in

Sonja [21]

Answer with step-by-step explanation:

We are given that the recurrence relation

$f_n=5f_{n-4}+3f_{n-5}$

for n=5,6,7,..

Initial condition

$f_0=0,f_1=1,f_2=1,f_3=2,f_4=3$

We have to show that Fibonacci numbers satisfies the recurrence relation.

The recurrence relation of Fibonacci numbers

$f_n=f_{n-1}+f_{n-2}$ , $f_0=0,f_1=1$

Apply this

$f_n=(f_{n-2}+f_{n-3})+f_{n-2}=2f_{n-2}+f_{n-3}$

$f_n=2(f_{n-3}+f_{n-4})+f_{n-3}=3f_{n-3}+2f_{n-4}$

$f_n=3(f_{n-4}+f_{n-5})+2f_{n-4}=5f_{n-4}+3f_{n-5}$

Substitute n=2

$f_2=f_1+f_0=1+0=1$

$f_3=f_2+f_1=1+1=2$

$f_4=f_3+f_2=2+1=3$

Hence, the Fibonacci numbers satisfied the given recurrence relation .

Now, we have to show that $f_{5n}$ is divisible by 5 for n=1,2,3,..

Now replace n by 5n

$f_{5n}=5f_{5n-4}+3f_{5n-5}$

Apply induction

Substitute n=1

$f_5=5f_1+3f_0=5+0=5$

It is true for n=1

Suppose it is true for n=k

$f_{5k}=5f_{5k-4}+3f_{5k-5}$ is divisible 5

Let $f_{5k}=5q$

Now, we shall prove that for n=k+1 is true

$f_{5k+5}=5f_{5k+5-4}+3f_{5k+5-5}=5f_{5k+1}+3f_{5k}=5f_{5k+1}+3(5q)$

$f_{5k+5}=5(f_{5k+1}+3q)$

It is multiple of 5 .Therefore, it is divisible by 5.

It is true for n=k+1

Hence, the $f_{5n}$ is divisible by 5 for n=1,2,3,..

44 students completed some homework and the histogram shows information about the times taken. Work out an estimate of the inter

Vilka [71]

Answer:

q1=11

q3= 33

Step-by-step explanation:

The data set has 44 number of students. The first quartile is 25 % of the numbers in the data set . So

25 % of 44 = 25/100 * 44= 0.25 *44 = 11

So the first quartile lies at 11.

Similarly the third quartile lies at the 75 % of the numbers of the data set . So

75 % of 44 = 75/100 * 44= 0.75 *44 = 33

So the third quartile lies at 33.

Work out the percentage change to 2 decimal places when a price of £87.95 is decreased to £70.

kap26 [50]

Answer:

20.41%

Step-by-step explanation:

87.95 - 70 = 17.95

17.95 / 87.95= 0.20409323479

0.20409323479 x 100 = 20.409323479

round it

= 20.41%
