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

thorough guide for profiling racket code -

did googling ("racket profiling", "racket measure performance"), didn't find , there no examples in docs. did google "profile" search on htdp - no luck. (profile (f ...)) output isn't obvious other small snippets. ideally want python's python -m cprofile usage examples. when search "python profiling", both duckduckgo , google give top result: 26.4. python profilers . (although scanned quickly, seems more of reference "thorough usage guide" examples. if had else in mind, perhaps please link that?) the equivalent racket documentation be: profile: statistical profiler . a usage example: #lang racket (require profile) (profile-thunk (thunk (function-to-profile arg0 arg1) )) here (thunk e) convenience (lambda () e) . bigger example: #lang racket (module mod racket (provide f) (define (f) (for/list ([i 10000]) i))) (require (prefix-in mod: 'mod)) (define (f) (for ([i 10000
