questions from calculus, anybody ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Can i post the qns @hartnn

hartnn (hartnn):

sure

hartnn (hartnn):

only one at a time would be great :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sorry Hw 11 please

OpenStudy (anonymous):

qns 2a and d

OpenStudy (anonymous):

question 2a and d please.

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

for 2a : y = 1 + x + 5x^2 + 13x^3 + ... -2xy = -2x - 2x^2 - 10x^3 - ... -3x^2y = - 3x^2 - 3x^3 - ... -----------------------------------

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

add them up vertically, what do u get ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-3x^2-2x+1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1-x over the above ? @hartnn

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@ganeshie8

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

y = 1 + x `+ 5x^2` + 13x^3 + ... -2xy = -2x `- 2x^2` - 10x^3 - ... -3x^2y = `- 3x^2` - 3x^3 - ... ----------------------------------- `0`

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

do you see that adding up that column gives you 0 ?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

similarly adding ANY column to the right of that column gives you 0

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

y = 1 + x `+ 5x^2` `+ 13x^3` + ... -2xy = -2x `- 2x^2` `- 10x^3` - ... -3x^2y = `- 3x^2` `- 3x^3` - ... ----------------------------------- 1-x + `0` + `0` + ...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thank you and taking y as common and we get the proof that y = 1- x / -3x^2-2x + 1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks a lot sir.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

And for qns 2d?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

are you done with b and c ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes am good with b and c

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

\[\large \rm y = \sum\limits_{n=0}^{\infty }a_nx^n\] Notice that your actual goal here is to find the explicit formula for the coefficient generating function : \(a_n\)

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

\[\large \rm y = \sum\limits_{n=0}^{\infty }a_nx^n = \dfrac{A}{1-3x} + \dfrac{B}{1+x}\]

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

what are the values of A and B ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A and B both are 1/2

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

very good, next use the hint from part c

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

\[\large \rm y = \sum\limits_{n=0}^{\infty }a_nx^n = \frac{1}{2}\left(\dfrac{1}{1-3x} + \dfrac{1}{1+x} \right) \]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

for part c i wrote the infinite series expansion for 1 / 1-X which is 1 + x + x^ 2 + x^3 and replaced x with negative x to find 1/ 1 +x

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

you need to add up the terms in both series and compare to find the formula for coefficients

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

\[\rm \begin{align}y = \sum\limits_{n=0}^{\infty }a_nx^n &= \frac{1}{2}\left[\dfrac{1}{1-3x} + \dfrac{1}{1+x} \right] \\~\\ &= \frac{1}{2}\left[1+3x+(3x)^2 + \cdots + 1-x+x^2-x^3 + \cdots \right]\\~\\ &= \sum\limits_{n=0}^{\infty}\frac{1}{2}\left[ (3x)^n + (-x)^n \right] \\~\\ &= \sum\limits_{n=0}^{\infty}\frac{1}{2}\left[ 3^n + (-1)^n \right]x^n \\~\\ \end{align}\]

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

compare

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thank you so much.

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

np :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I had to submit the unfinished ones today, and thanks for helping me out.

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

Try this if you have time : find an explicit formula using the exact same trick as above \[\rm a_0=0, a_1 = 1, \\a_n = a_{n-1} + a_{n-2}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

let me figure it out, and is there any chance of helping me with the extra credit question?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The question 3 ?
