-2 2/3, -5 1/3, -10 2/3, -21 1/3, -42 2/3. which formula can be used to describe the sequence?

1 answer:

8 0

Your sequence appears to be geometric with a common ratio of 2. It can be described by
a(n) = (-2 2/3)·2^(n-1)

_____
This can be written in a number of other forms, including
a(n) = (-8/3)·2^(n-1)
a(n) = (-1/3)·2^(n+2)
a(n) = (-4/3)·2^n

_______________

   dy
Find —— for an implicit function:
    dx

x²y – 3x = y³ – 3

First, differentiate implicitly both sides with respect to x. Keep in mind that y is not just a variable, but it is also a function of x, so you have to use the chain rule there:

$\mathsf{\dfrac{d}{dx}(x^2 y-3x)=\dfrac{d}{dx}(y^3-3)}\\\\\\
\mathsf{\dfrac{d}{dx}(x^2 y)-3\,\dfrac{d}{dx}(x)=\dfrac{d}{dx}(y^3)-\dfrac{d}{dx}(3)}$

Applying the product rule for the first term at the left-hand side:

$\mathsf{\left[\dfrac{d}{dx}(x^2)\cdot y+x^2\cdot \dfrac{d}{dx}(y)\right]-3\cdot 1=3y^2\cdot \dfrac{dy}{dx}-0}\\\\\\
\mathsf{\left[2x\cdot y+x^2\cdot \dfrac{dy}{dx}\right]-3=3y^2\cdot \dfrac{dy}{dx}}$

   dy
Now, isolate —— in the equation above:
   dx

$\mathsf{2xy+x^2\cdot \dfrac{dy}{dx}-3=3y^2\cdot \dfrac{dy}{dx}}\\\\\\
\mathsf{2xy+x^2\cdot \dfrac{dy}{dx}-3-3y^2\cdot \dfrac{dy}{dx}=0}\\\\\\
\mathsf{x^2\cdot \dfrac{dy}{dx}-3y^2\cdot \dfrac{dy}{dx}=-\,2xy+3}\\\\\\
\mathsf{(x^2-3y^2)\cdot \dfrac{dy}{dx}=-\,2xy+3}$

$\mathsf{\dfrac{dy}{dx}=\dfrac{-\,2xy+3}{x^2-3y^2}\qquad\quad for~~x^2-3y^2\ne 0}$

Compute the derivative value at the point (– 1, 2):

x = – 1 and y = 2

$\mathsf{\left.\dfrac{dy}{dx}\right|_{(-1,\,2)}=\dfrac{-\,2\cdot (-1)\cdot 2+3}{(-1)^2-3\cdot 2^2}}\\\\\\
\mathsf{\left.\dfrac{dy}{dx}\right|_{(-1,\,2)}=\dfrac{4+3}{1-12}}\\\\\\
\mathsf{\left.\dfrac{dy}{dx}\right|_{(-1,\,2)}=\dfrac{7}{-11}}\\\\\\\\ \therefore~~\mathsf{\left.\dfrac{dy}{dx}\right|_{(-1,\,2)}=-\,\dfrac{7}{11}}\quad\longleftarrow\quad\textsf{this is the answer.}$

I hope this helps. =)
