question:A small zoo houses a variety of 68 wild animals. After they send a gorilla family of six to a different zoo, they adopt a hippopotamus from another zoo. A while later, an animal rescue contacted them, and the zoo took in three endangered rhinos. Then one of their lionesses gave birth to cubs, and they opened a meerkat exhibit with twice as many meerkats as they had gained lion cubs. The zoo then had 90 animals in all. How many lion cubs were born at the zoo?
answer:The zoo starts with 68 animals. After sending away the gorilla family, they have 68 - 6 = 62 animals. After adopting the hippopotamus, they have 62 + 1 = 63 animals. After taking in the three rhinos, they have 63 + 3 = 66 animals. Let's say the number of lion cubs born is x. The number of meerkats in the exhibit is twice the number of lion cubs, so it is 2x. Adding the lion cubs, the meerkats, and the rest of the animals together, we get 66 + x + 2x = 90. Combining like terms, we have 3x = 90 - 66 = 24. Dividing both sides by 3, we find that x = 24 / 3 = 8. Therefore, 8 lion cubs were born at the zoo. 8 The answer is: 8
question:An infinite geometric series has a first term of 4 and a second term of 2. A second infinite geometric series has the same first term of 4, a second term of 4 cdot frac{3}{5}, and a sum of 10. Find the sum of the first series.
answer:To find the sum of the first infinite geometric series, we first need to determine its common ratio. Given that the first term is 4 and the second term is 2, we can calculate the common ratio by dividing the second term by the first term: frac{2}{4} = frac{1}{2}. Now, let's look at the second series. Its common ratio is given as frac{3}{5}, and we are told that its sum is 10. The sum of an infinite geometric series can be found using the formula S = frac{a}{1-r}, where a is the first term and r is the common ratio. Applying this formula to the second series, we have 10 = frac{4}{1 - frac{3}{5}}. This confirms the relationship between the sum, the first term, and the common ratio for an infinite geometric series. Applying this same formula to the first series, we can now calculate its sum using the first term a = 4 and the common ratio r = frac{1}{2}. Plugging these values into the formula gives us S = frac{4}{1 - frac{1}{2}} = frac{4}{frac{1}{2}} = 8. Therefore, the sum of the first series is 8.
question:How does one increase precision with more terms in Euler's method and better approximate a value in a given differential equation?
answer:Euler's method is a numerical technique used to approximate the solution of a differential equation by iteratively applying a simple recurrence relation. To increase precision with more terms in Euler's method and better approximate a value in a given differential equation, you can follow these steps: Given a differential equation of the form frac{dy}{dx} = f(x, y), with initial condition y(x_0) = y_0, Euler's method approximates the solution at a point x_1 = x_0 + h using the formula y_1 = y_0 + h cdot f(x_0, y_0). Here, h is the step size, which controls the increment between successive points. To increase precision, you can reduce the step size h and apply the formula iteratively, generating a sequence of approximations y_1, y_2, y_3, ldots at points x_1, x_2, x_3, ldots. The key idea is that smaller step sizes lead to more accurate approximations, as the method essentially uses the tangent line to the solution curve at each point to estimate the solution at the next point. More specifically, you can improve the accuracy of Euler's method by: 1. Decreasing the step size h: This allows you to generate more points and obtain a better approximation of the solution curve. 2. Increasing the number of iterations: This enables you to cover a larger interval and approximate the solution at more points. Mathematically, the recursive formula for Euler's method can be written as y_{n+1} = y_n + h cdot f(x_n, y_n), where x_{n+1} = x_n + h and y_0 is the initial condition. For example, consider the differential equation frac{dy}{dx} = 2x, with initial condition y(0) = 0. To approximate the solution at x = 1 using Euler's method with a step size h = 0.25, you would compute: y_1 = y_0 + h cdot f(x_0, y_0) = 0 + 0.25 cdot 2(0) = 0 y_2 = y_1 + h cdot f(x_1, y_1) = 0 + 0.25 cdot 2(0.25) = 0.125 y_3 = y_2 + h cdot f(x_2, y_2) = 0.125 + 0.25 cdot 2(0.5) = 0.375 y_4 = y_3 + h cdot f(x_3, y_3) = 0.375 + 0.25 cdot 2(0.75) = 0.75 As you can see, the approximation improves with each iteration, and the final value y_4 is closer to the exact solution, which is y(1) = 1. While Euler's method can be improved by increasing the number of terms, it is still a relatively simple method with limited accuracy. More sophisticated methods, such as Runge-Kutta methods, can provide better approximations using more complex formulas that take into account higher-order derivatives.
