Daily Practice 31.8.2015

Q1. Write down the equation of a circle with centre (-1, 4) and radius 5

Q2. Given the circle with equation (x – 4)2 + (y + 5)2 = 40.

Find the equation of the tangent to this circle at

the point P(2,1).

Q3. Show that the roots of 2x(x – 1) + 1 = 6x – 7 are equal and find x.

Today we are going to learn about recurrence

relations.

Homework Due tomorrow!

Recurrence Relations

Recurrence relations are sequences in which each term is a function of the previous terms, where the terms are labelled u0 , u1 , u2 ...

They are very useful for calculating long term patterns.

For example: A house worth £128 000 increases in value by 5% per annum . What is it's value each year over 3 years


So we can say in general terms un+ 1 = aun where a is 1 + interest rate as a decimal


Example:

Example 2:

A patient is injected with 75ml of medicine. Every 4 hours, 20% of the medicine passes out of his bloodstream. To compensate, a further 10ml dose is administered every 4 hours.

i) Write a recurrence relation for the amount of medicine in the bloodstream

ii) Calculate the amount of medicine remaining after 24 hours

Linear Recurrence Relations

Example:

un + 1 = 1.5un + 4,

(i) Calculate the value of u3 when u0 = 6

Limits

If a > 1 or a < -1 then the sequence will be divergent (increasing or decreasing forever).

If -1 < a < 1, then the sequence coverges towards a limit and is known as a convergent sequence.

Linear Recurrence Relations (Limits)

Linear Recurrence Relations (Limits)

The limit of a recurrence relation:

If -1 < a < 1 then un tends to a limit. The limit is L = b

Example: Find the first three terms and the limit of the sequence

as n -> ∞

1 - a

un + 1 = 0.25un + 7 where u0 = -2
