recurrence - finding the rth term of a sequence -


the question give possible formula rth term. i'm able solve 2 questions rest can't seems of different way or weird.as i'm studying alevels think there's common rule or maybe easy way solve sequence related problems.i never understood sequence enough-it's hard me.

6  18  54   162

i'm able solve 2*3^r

4  7    12   19

by r^2+3

but 

4   12  24  40  60

i'm trying many ways can't find answer.i think there's common rule solving these not marks there should solved in easy way i'm not getting how to.please help

here's formula in r sequence:

g <- function(n) 6*n + 2*n^2 + 4 g(0:4) [1]  4 12 24 40 60

here 1 way solve relation. first, recognize quadratic difference arithmetic sequence (linear).

then note g(x + 1) = g(x) + 8 + 4x. represent g(x) = a*x^2 + b*x + c.

then:

g(x+1) = a(x+1)^2 + b(x+1) + c = g(x) + 8 + 4x = a*x^2 + b*x + c + 8 * 4x      ax^2 + 2ax + + b*x + b + c = a*x^2 + b*x + c + 8 + 4x

thus

           2ax +       +b      =                   8 + 4x

as holds x, must 2ax = 4x or a = 2. thus

            4x + 2 + b = 8 + 4x

so b = 6. these known, c determined g(0) = c = 4.

commonjs - How to write a typescript definition file for a node module that exports a function? -

consider, toml node module can use: // toml.d.ts declare module toml { export function parse(value:string):any; } declare module "toml" { export = toml; } then: /// <reference path="../../../../../defs/toml/toml.d.ts"/> import toml = require('toml'); toml.parse(...); however, node module export single function, such 'glob' ( https://github.com/isaacs/node-glob ). the node usage of module be: var glob = require("glob") glob("*.js", {}, callback(err, files) { ... }); you'd naively expect this: // glob.d.ts declare function globs(paths:string, options:any, callback:{(err:any, files:string[]):void; ...but because typescripts 'import' semantics bit strange, seems can use 'import .. = require()' statement alias modules . trying call: /// <reference path="../../../../../defs/glob/glob.d.ts"/> import blog = require('glob'); results in: error ts2072: mod...

ios - Change Storyboard View using Seague -

i have following code checks connection server, , depending on want change views if no connection found. nsstring *connect = [nsstring stringwithcontentsofurl:[nsurl urlwithstring:@"http://myserver.com"] encoding:nsutf8stringencoding error:nil]; if (connect == null) { [self performseguewithidentifier:@"network_failure" sender:self]; } else { // other code here } my problem not change views. have added storyboard segue between 2 views identifier of network_failure . not have navigation controller or that, problem? thanks help! no not problem. first of all, in objectivec exists nil object oriented null . must use that. so: if(connect == nil) or better: if(!connect) so due fact nil not same of null , probably code does't enter in if scope . you have been able discover breakpoint. anyway: be sure set trigger segue (line) 2 view controller , , name network_failure (that not best name. should instead view1toview2 ) as, m...
