Difference equations

OpenStudy (anonymous):

need help with checking what I have

OpenStudy (amistre64):

5 pages?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes! just want to check a couple and do one

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do you know how to do #1...need to check it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

http://www.aw-bc.com/ggts/ Ch.12 for reference

OpenStudy (amistre64):

linear would be degree 1 that I am aware of but let me check the material

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I have c as linear

OpenStudy (amistre64):

c and d are both linear

OpenStudy (amistre64):

d is not linear...

OpenStudy (amistre64):

its got rationals in it that make it go haywire

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok right was seeing y sub n as exponent in denominator not just constant : (

OpenStudy (anonymous):

gonna graph it...confused with homo and nonhom..have a and b as homo...had c too but changed

OpenStudy (amistre64):

if you reform d it become 1 + y^2/2y and thats just a curvey mess

OpenStudy (amistre64):

homo or nonhomo; you gotta pick all that apply? or just one?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

all that apply -3 parts

OpenStudy (amistre64):

the order is the difference beteen "n"s

OpenStudy (amistre64):

a = 2nd order

OpenStudy (amistre64):

b,c,d are all 1st orders

OpenStudy (anonymous):

got that one...b-2 c- 1

OpenStudy (amistre64):

b = n, n+1 .... a difference of 1; 1st order

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok gotcha

OpenStudy (amistre64):

a = hom, its got a zero on the right hand side :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

understand that

OpenStudy (anonymous):

looked at wrong checks only had a as homo just wanted to check that

OpenStudy (amistre64):

i think only d is nonhomo

OpenStudy (amistre64):

homogeneity aint my strength lol..... i guess you just need an eye for it.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

don't understand other property other than =0 to make it hom...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

LOL!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I have 2a need 2b

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i'll try and figure2-4...how about 5 got 6 ...loved that one

OpenStudy (amistre64):

you need 5?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

i as trying to determine what a "complete" solution meant :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok that is cool ; )

OpenStudy (anonymous):

didn't want to weigh you down...

OpenStudy (amistre64):

B(n+1) = ....

OpenStudy (amistre64):

what level mathis this stuff anyways :)

OpenStudy (amistre64):

B(n+1) = (.06)Bn - 25,000...so far

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Precalculus...real-world

OpenStudy (amistre64):

B(n+1) = (.06)Bn - 25,000(.03)n-1

OpenStudy (amistre64):

pre calc real world eh...... you must be going to harvard or something lol

OpenStudy (amistre64):

thats almost right in the equation...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i know right...UIUC in Illinois...sad part is 1-credit math module not even full course..smh

OpenStudy (amistre64):

any idea how to get the 25000 to start at (times 1) :) Bn+1 = (.06)Bn - 25,000(.03)

OpenStudy (amistre64):

B(n+1) = (.06)Bn - 25,000(1+.03).....

OpenStudy (amistre64):

B(n+1) = (.06)Bn - 25,000 + 25,000(.03)^n something like this

OpenStudy (amistre64):

B(n+1) = (.06)Bn -25,000(1.03)^(n-1)

OpenStudy (amistre64):

i got it....im sure I do :)

OpenStudy (amistre64):

its pretty much a loan in a loan....

OpenStudy (amistre64):

at B0; n=0

OpenStudy (amistre64):

n=1 lol....thats it :)

OpenStudy (amistre64):

I got the balance increaseing at .06 each time; then subtract that 25000(+.03 for interest) for the next few years

OpenStudy (amistre64):

you agree?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'm pluggin in calc. and I'm missing something

OpenStudy (amistre64):

B(n+1) = (.06)Bn -25,000(1.03)^(n-1) the first year we need a "0" to make that (1.03) = 1

OpenStudy (amistre64):

\[B_{n+1}=(.06)B_{n} - 25000(1.03)^{n-1}\]

OpenStudy (amistre64):

de we start this from n=0 or n=1?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

got that let me keep trying

OpenStudy (anonymous):

0

OpenStudy (anonymous):

for the power we need n =1 so 1-1=0 and anything to 0 power is 1

OpenStudy (amistre64):

correct

OpenStudy (amistre64):

im writing it into a program :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

neat....iterations inputed one at a time? not working

OpenStudy (amistre64):

havent programed it ALL yet lol..let me give this a test run

OpenStudy (amistre64):

getting warmer :)

OpenStudy (amistre64):

it should be 1.06 ...not .06

OpenStudy (amistre64):

no....thats aint it ...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

292, 250 for n=1

OpenStudy (amistre64):

B+B(.06) = B(1.06)

OpenStudy (amistre64):

Balance + 6% :)

OpenStudy (amistre64):

293,000 should be it

OpenStudy (amistre64):

300000(1.06)-25000 = 293000

OpenStudy (amistre64):

this is it ;)

OpenStudy (amistre64):

forogt to change the "dressing" to 1.06 lol

OpenStudy (amistre64):

OpenStudy (amistre64):

its good to go ;)

OpenStudy (amistre64):

itll last 15 years :)

OpenStudy (amistre64):

programming I can do ;)

OpenStudy (amistre64):

html and javascript, we can do so much together :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that is Awesome...learned a lilt programming-html but you are GREAT

OpenStudy (amistre64):

taught meself that too ;)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

never thought to use it...just the calc...thanks!

OpenStudy (amistre64):

libraries shuttin down, good luck with the rest of it :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok thanks...what state are you in

OpenStudy (amistre64):

florida ;)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Cool! just moved to IL from SC...ttyl
