I don't know what methods are available to you, so I'll just use one that I'm comfortable with: generating functions. It's a bit tedious, but it works! If you don't know it, there's no harm in learning about it.
Let U(x) be the generating function for the sequence u(n), i.e.
[tex]\displaystyle U(x) = \sum_{n=0}^\infty u(n)x^n[/tex]
In the recurrence equation, we multiply both sides by xⁿ (where |x| < 1, which will come into play later), then take the sums on both sides from n = 0 to ∞, thus recasting the equation as
[tex]\displaystyle \sum_{n=0}^\infty u(n+2) x^n = 8 \sum_{n=0}^\infty u(n+1) x^n - 16 \sum_{n=0}^\infty u(n) x^n[/tex]
Next, we rewrite each sum in terms of U(x). For instance,
[tex]\displaystyle \sum_{n=0}^\infty u(n+2) x^n = \frac1{x^2} \sum_{n=0}^\infty u(n+2) x^{n+2} \\\\ \sum_{n=0}^\infty u(n+2) x^n = \frac1{x^2} \bigg(u(2)x^2 + u(3)x^3 + u(4)x^4 + \cdots \bigg) \\\\ \sum_{n=0}^\infty u(n+2) x^n = \frac1{x^2} \sum_{n=2}^\infty u(n) x^n \\\\ \sum_{n=0}^\infty u(n+2) x^n = \frac1{x^2} \left(\sum_{n=0}^\infty u(n) x^n - u(1)x - u(0)\right) \\\\ \sum_{n=0}^\infty u(n+2) x^n = \frac1{x^2}(U(x) - 16x - 1) \\\\ \sum_{n=0}^\infty u(n+2) x^n = \frac1{x^2}U(x) - \frac{16}x - \frac1{x^2}[/tex]
After rewriting each sum in a similar way, we end up with a linear equation in U(x),
[tex]\displaystyle \frac1{x^2}U(x) - \frac{16}x - \frac1{x^2} = \frac8x U(x) - \frac8x - 16 U(x)[/tex]
Solve for U(x) :
[tex]\displaystyle \left(\frac1{x^2}-\frac8x+16\right) U(x) = \frac1{x^2} + \frac8x \\\\ \left(1-8x+16x^2\right) U(x) = 1 + 8x \\\\ (1-4x)^2 U(x) = 1 + 8x \\\\ U(x) = \dfrac{1+8x}{(1-4x)^2}[/tex]
The next step is to get the power series expansion of U(x) so that we can easily identity u(n) as the coefficient of the n-th term in the expansion.
Recall that for |x| < 1, we have
[tex]\displaystyle \frac1{1-x} = \sum_{n=0}^\infty x^n[/tex]
By differentiating both sides, we get
[tex]\displaystyle \frac1{(1-x)^2} = \sum_{n=0}^\infty nx^{n-1} = \sum_{n=1}^\infty nx^{n-1} = \sum_{n=0}^\infty (n+1)x^n[/tex]
It follows that
[tex]\displaystyle \frac1{(1-4x)^2} = \sum_{n=0}^\infty (n+1)(4x)^n[/tex]
and so
[tex]\displaystyle \frac{1+8x}{(1-4x)^2} = \sum_{n=0}^\infty (n+1)(4x)^n + 8x\sum_{n=0}^\infty (n+1)(4x)^n \\\\ \frac{1+8x}{(1-4x)^2} = \sum_{n=0}^\infty 4^n(n+1)x^n + 2\sum_{n=0}^\infty 4^{n+1}(n+1)x^{n+1} \\\\ \frac{1+8x}{(1-4x)^2} = \sum_{n=0}^\infty 4^n(n+1)x^n + 2\sum_{n=1}^\infty 4^nnx^n \\\\ \frac{1+8x}{(1-4x)^2} = \sum_{n=0}^\infty 4^n(n+1)x^n + 2\sum_{n=0}^\infty 4^nnx^n \\\\ \frac{1+8x}{(1-4x)^2} = \sum_{n=0}^\infty 4^n(3n+1)x^n[/tex]
which means
[tex]u(n) = \boxed{4^n(3n+1)}[/tex]

There are two machines available for cutting corks intended for use in wine bottles. The first produces corks with diameters that are normally distributed with mean 3 cm and standard deviation 0.10 cm. The second machine produces corks with diameters that have a normal distribution with mean 3.04 cm and standard deviation 0.04 cm. Acceptable corks have diameters between 2.9 cm and 3.1 cm. What is the probability that the first machine produces an acceptable cork
Answer:
0.6827
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that :
Mean, μ = 3
Standard deviation, σ = 0.1
To produce an acceptable cork. :
P(2.9 < X < 3.1)
Recall :
Z = (x - μ) / σ
P(2.9 < X < 3.1) = P[((2.9 - 3) / 0.1) < Z < ((3.1 - 3) / 0.1)]
P(2.9 < X < 3.1) = P(-1 < Z < 1)
Using a normal distribution calculator, we obtain the probability to the right of the distribution :
P(2.9 < X < 3.1) = P(1 < Z < - 1) = 0.8413 - 0.1587 = 0.6827
Hence, the probability that the first machine produces an acceptable cork is 0.6827

Find the dimensions of a rectangle with perimeter 108 m whose area is as large as possible. (If both values are the same number, enter it into both blanks.) m (smaller value) m (larger value)
Answer:
27 by 27
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the sides be x and y. The problem is essentially asking:
Given 2(x+y)=108, maximize xy.
We know that x+y=54. By the Arithmetic Mean - Geometric Mean inequality, we can see that [tex]\frac{x+y}{2} \ge \sqrt{xy[/tex]. Substituting in x+y=54, we get [tex]27\ge\sqrt{xy}[/tex], meaning that [tex]729 \ge xy[/tex]. Equality will only be obtained when x=y (in this case it will generate the maximum for xy), so setting x = y, we can see that x = y = 27. Hence, 27 is the answer you are looking for.

2. Reflected about the c-axis
Then
3. Rotated 90° anticlockwise about the origin
A) Its final coordinates are (3,-1)
B) Its final coordinates are (8,-6)
C) Its final coordinates are (-8,6)
D) Its final coordinates are (-3,1)
Answer:
B) Its final coordinates are (8,-6)
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Translated 1 unit up and 4 units left
(-2,7) becomes (-6, 8)
2. Reflected about the x-axis
(-6,8) becomes (-6, -8)
3. Rotated 90° anticlockwise about the origin
(-6, -8) becomes (8, -6) because when rotating 90 degrees anticlockwise about the origin, point A (x,y) becomes point A' (-y,x). In other words, switch the x and y and make y negative.
Show that the equation 2x + 3 cos x + e ^ x = 0 has a root on the interval [- 1, 0]
If x = -1, you have
2(-1) + 3 cos(-1) + e ⁻¹ ≈ -0.0112136 < 0
and if x = 0, you have
2(0) + 3 cos(0) + e ⁰ = 4 > 0
The function f(x) = 2x + 3 cos(x) + eˣ is continuous over the real numbers, so the intermediate value theorem applies, and it says that there is some -1 < c < 0 such that f(c) = 0.

A dairy needs 230 gallons of milk containing 6% butterfat. How many gallons each of milk containing 8% butterfat and milk containing 3% butterfat must be used to obtain the desired 230 gallons?
Answer:
138 gallons - milk containing 8% butterfat , 92 gallons - milk containing 3% butterfat
Step-by-step explanation:
Firstly, find the quantity of butterfat in the dairy needs of milk
230/100*6= 2.3*6=13.8 gallons of butterflat
1) Consider gallons each of milk containing 8% butterfat and milk containing 3%, suppose we need x gallons of milk containing 8 percents butterfat, then we need 230-x gallons of milk containing 3percent butterfat.
Then the quantity of the butterfat in the 8percents fat milk is x/100*8= 0.08x
the quantity of the butterfat in the 3percents fat milk is (230-x)/100*3=
=0.03 (230-x) = 6.9-0.03x The amount of butterfat of the both milk containing 8% butterfat and milk containing 3%is equal to 13.8 gallons
Then 0.08x+6.9-0.03x=13.8
0.05x=6.9
x=6.9/0.05= 138 -milk 8 percents
230-x= 230-138= 92
Two chords in a circle intersect. One chord is made of 6 and 5, and the other is made of x +1 and x. What is x?
Answer:
x = 5 and -6
Step-by-step explanation:
Using the intersecting chord theorem which states that the products of the lengths of the line segments on each chord are equal.
Hence:
let
a = 6, b = 5, c = x+1 and d = x
Therefore, ab = cd
6*5 = x(x+1)
30 = x²+x
x²+x - 30 = 0
x²+ 6x - 5x - 30 = 0
x(x+6) - 5(x+6) =0
(x-5)(x+6) = 0
x-5 =0 and x+6 = 0
x = 5 and -6

The diameter of a circle has endpoints P(-12, -4) and Q(6, 12).
Write an equation for the circle. Be sure to show and explain all work.
9514 1404 393
Answer:
(x +3)² +(y -4)² = 145
Step-by-step explanation:
The center of the circle is the midpoint of the given segment PQ. If we call that point A, then ...
A = (P +Q)/2
A = ((-12, -4) +(6, 12))/2 = (-12+6, -4+12)/2 = (-6, 8)/2
A = (-3, 4)
The equation of the circle for some radius r is ...
(x -(-3))² +(y -4)² = r² . . . . . . where (-3, 4) is the center of the circle
The value of r² can be found by substituting either of the points on the circle. If we use Q, then we have ...
(6 +3)² +(12 -4)² = r² = 9² +8²
r² = 81 +64 = 145
Then the equation of the circle is ...
(x +3)² +(y -4)² = 145
A warehouse contains ten printing machines, two of which are defective. A company selects seven of the machines at random, thinking all are in working condition. What is the probability that all seven machines are nondefective?
Answer:
0.0667 = 6.67% probability that all seven machines are nondefective.
Step-by-step explanation:
The machines are chosen from the sample without replacement, which means that the hypergeometric distribution is used to solve this question.
Hypergeometric distribution:
The probability of x successes is given by the following formula:
[tex]P(X = x) = h(x,N,n,k) = \frac{C_{k,x}*C_{N-k,n-x}}{C_{N,n}}[/tex]
In which:
x is the number of successes.
N is the size of the population.
n is the size of the sample.
k is the total number of desired outcomes.
Combinations formula:
[tex]C_{n,x}[/tex] is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.
[tex]C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}[/tex]
In this question:
10 machines means that [tex]n = 10[/tex]
2 defective, so 10 - 2 = 8 work correctly, which means that [tex]k = 8[/tex]
Seven are selected, which means that [tex]n = 7[/tex]
What is the probability that all seven machines are nondefective?
This is P(X = 7). So
[tex]P(X = x) = h(x,N,n,k) = \frac{C_{k,x}*C_{N-k,n-x}}{C_{N,n}}[/tex]
[tex]P(X = 7) = h(7,10,7,8) = \frac{C_{8,7}*C_{2,0}}{C_{10,7}} = 0.0667[/tex]
0.0667 = 6.67% probability that all seven machines are nondefective.
The football coach randomly selected 10 players and timed how long each player took to perform a certain drill. The result has a sample mean of 9.48 minutes and sample standard deviation of 2.14 minutes. Round answers to two decimals. The 95% confidence interval for the mean time for all players is : __________
Answer:
The 95% confidence interval for the mean time for all players, in minutes, is: (7.95, 11.01).
Step-by-step explanation:
We have the standard deviation for the sample, which means that the t-distribution is used to solve this question.
The first step to solve this problem is finding how many degrees of freedom,which is the sample size subtracted by 1. So
df = 10 - 1 = 9
95% confidence interval
Now, we have to find a value of T, which is found looking at the t table, with 9 degrees of freedom(y-axis) and a confidence level of [tex]1 - \frac{1 - 0.95}{2} = 0.975[/tex]. So we have T = 2.2622.
The margin of error is:
[tex]M = T\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}} = 2.2622\frac{2.14}{\sqrt{10}} = 1.53[/tex]
In which s is the standard deviation of the sample and n is the size of the sample.
The lower end of the interval is the sample mean subtracted by M. So it is 9.48 - 1.53 = 7.95 minutes.
The upper end of the interval is the sample mean added to M. So it is 9.48 + 1.53 = 11.01 minutes.
The 95% confidence interval for the mean time for all players, in minutes, is: (7.95, 11.01).

The x-intercepts of the graph of f(x) is (-2, 0) and (5/2, 0).
The function is given as:
[tex]f(x) = 2x^2 - x - 10[/tex]
We need to find the points at which the given function crosses the x-axis.
What is the x-intercept of a function?It is the point at which the given function crosses the x-axis.
The x-intercept is found by setting y = 0 or f(x) = 0.
Given function,
[tex]f(x) = 2x^2 - x - 10[/tex]
Let's set f(x) = 0.
[tex]2x^2 - x - 10 = 0[/tex]
Solve the equation for x.
[tex]2x^2 - x - 10\\2x^2 - (5 - 4)x - 10\\2x^2 - 5x + 4x - 10\\x(2x-5) +2(2x - 5)\\(x+2)(2x-5)[/tex]
Now we have,
x+2 = 0 and 2x - 5 = 0
x = -2 and x = 5 / 2
We already know that y = 0 so the points at which the function intercepts with the x-axis are:
(-2, 0) and (5/2, 0).
The x-intercepts of the graph of f(x) is (-2, 0) and (5/2, 0).

In which X is the sample mean, [tex]\mu[/tex] is the value tested at the null hypothesis, [tex]\sigma[/tex] is the standard deviation and n is the size of the sample.
0.4 is tested at the null hypothesis:
This means that [tex]\mu = 0.4, \sigma = \sqrt{0.4*0.6}[/tex]
Random sample of 15 adults, 8 favor capital punishment.
This means that [tex]n = 15, X = \frac{8}{15} = 0.5333[/tex]
Value of the test statistic:
[tex]z = \frac{X - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}[/tex]
[tex]z = \frac{0.5333 - 0.4}{\frac{\sqrt{0.4*0.6}}{\sqrt{15}}}[/tex]
[tex]z = 1.05[/tex]
P-value of the test and decision:
The p-value of the test is the probability of finding a sample proportion of 0.5333 or more, which is 1 subtracted by the p-value of z = 1.05.
Looking at the z-table, z = 1.05 has a p-value of 0.8531.
1 - 0.8531 = 0.1469.
The p-value of the test is 0.1469 > 0.05, which means that there is no reason to believe that the proportion of adults favoring capital punishment today has increased, using a 0.05 level of significance.

Use the function f(x) = -16x² + 60x + 16 to answer the questions.
Part A: Completely factor f(x). (2 points)
Part B: What are the x-intercepts of the graph of f(x)? Show your work. (2 points
Part C: Describe the end behavior of the graph of f(x). Explain. (2 points)
Part D: What are the steps you would use to graph f(x)? Justify that you can use the answers obtained in Part B and Part C to draw the graph
Here we have the quadratic function:
f(x) = -16*x^2 + 60*x + 16
We can see that it is in standard form:
y = a*x^2 + b*x + c
a) First we want to completely factorize the function f(x).
To do it, we first need to find the roots of f(x).
Remember that for a generic quadratic equation:
a*x^2 + b*x + c = 0
whit roots x₁ and x₂, the factorized form is:
a*(x - x₁)*(x - x₂)
And the roots are given by:
[tex]x = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4*a*c} }{2*a}[/tex]
Then for the case of f(x) = -16*x^2 + 60*x + 16, the roots are:
[tex]x = \frac{-60 \pm \sqrt{60^2 - 4*(-16)*16} }{2*(-16)} = \frac{-60 \pm 68}{-32}[/tex]
So the two roots are:
x₁ = (-60 + 68)/-32 = -0.25
x₂ = (-60 - 68)/-32 = 4
Then the factorized form is:
f(x) = -16*(x - 4)*(x + 0.25)
B) We already found the roots, which are:
x₁ = -0.25
x₂ = 4
These are the x-intercepts:
(-0.25, 0) and (4, 0)
C) We can see that the leading coefficient is negative.
This means that the arms of the graph go downwards, so as |x| increases, the value of f(x) tends to negative infinity.
D) To graph f(x) we can find some of the points of the graph (like the x-intercepts and some more of them) and then connect them with a parabola curve, the graph that you will get is the one that you can see below.
