question:Let a diamond b = frac{3a}{b} cdot frac{b}{a}. What is (7 diamond (4 diamond 9)) diamond 2?
answer:First, evaluate the operation a diamond b. Given by the definition: [ a diamond b = frac{3a}{b} cdot frac{b}{a} = frac{3ab}{ab} = 3. ] Thus, regardless of what a and b are (as long as neither are zero), a diamond b will always be 3. Next, evaluate (7 diamond (4 diamond 9)) diamond 2. Starting with the innermost operation: [ 4 diamond 9 = 3. ] Then: [ 7 diamond 3 = 3. ] Finally: [ 3 diamond 2 = 3. ] Thus, the entire expression simplifies to boxed{3}.
question:the geometric sequence {a_{n}} and arithmetic sequence {b_{n}}, a_{1}=2b_{1}=2, a_{2}=2b_{2}, a_{3}=2b_{3}+2. (1) Find the general formulas for sequences {a_{n}} and {b_{n}}. (2) Let {c}_{n}=frac{{b}_{n}^{2}}{{a}_{n}}, nin N^{*}, and denote the product of the first n terms of the sequence {c_{n}} as T_{n}. Prove that {T}_{n}≤frac{9}{16}.
answer:# Solution: Part (1): Finding the General Formulas 1. **Given Information:** - a_{1}=2b_{1}=2 - a_{2}=2b_{2} - a_{3}=2b_{3}+2 2. **Common Ratio and Difference:** Let the common ratio of {a_{n}} be q and the common difference of {b_{n}} be d. 3. **From a_{1}=2b_{1}=2:** - a_{1}=2 - b_{1}=1 4. **From a_{2}=2b_{2}:** - 2q=2(d+1) - Simplifying gives q=d+1 5. **From a_{3}=2b_{3}+2:** - 2q^{2}=2(1+2d)+2 - Simplifying gives q^{2}=2d+2 - Further simplification gives q^{2}=2(d+1) 6. **Solving for q:** - q^{2}=2q - Solving gives q=2 or q=0 (discard q=0) 7. **Therefore:** - q=2 - d=1 8. **General Formulas:** - a_{n}=2^{n} - b_{n}=n boxed{a_{n}=2^{n}, b_{n}=n} Part (2): Proof that {T}_{n}≤frac{9}{16} 1. **Given:** - c_{n}=frac{b_{n}^{2}}{a_{n}}=frac{n^{2}}{2^{n}}, for nin N^{*} 2. **Difference between Consecutive Terms:** - c_{n+1}-c_{n}=frac{(n+1)^{2}}{2^{n+1}}-frac{n^{2}}{2^{n}}=frac{-n^{2}+2n+1}{2^{n+1}} 3. **Behavior of c_{n}:** - For n=1 and 2, c_{n+1}-c_{n} > 0 - For ngeqslant 3, c_{n+1}-c_{n} < 0 - This implies c_{1} < c_{2} < c_{3} > c_{4} > c_{5} > cdots 4. **Values of c_{n} for Specific n:** - c_{1}=frac{1}{2}, c_{2}=1, c_{3}=frac{9}{8}, c_{4}=1, c_{5}=frac{25}{32} 5. **Product of First n Terms, T_{n}:** - For n=1 and 2, T_{n}=frac{1}{2} - For n=3 and 4, T_{n}=frac{9}{16} - For ngeqslant 5, since c_{n} < 1, we have T_{n+1} < T_{n} 6. **Conclusion:** - Hence, for all n, T_{n} leq frac{9}{16} boxed{T_{n} leq frac{9}{16}}
question:f B=65i, N=3+2i, T=2i, and Q=5, find BN+TQ.
answer:To solve for B-N+T-Q, we start by breaking the components into their real and imaginary parts: - Real part of B-N+T-Q: (6-3-5)+(0-0-0-0)=6-3-5=6-8=-2 - Imaginary part of B-N+T-Q: (-5-2-2)+(0+0+0-0)=-5-2-2=-9 Thus, combining the real and imaginary components, the result is: B-N+T-Q = -2 - 9i Therefore, the answer is boxed{-2-9i}.
question:We consider the infinite chessboard covering the whole plane. In every field of the chessboard there is a nonnegative real number. Every number is the arithmetic mean of the numbers in the four adjacent fields of the chessboard. Prove that the numbers occurring in the fields of the chessboard are all equal.
answer:We are given a function ( f: mathbb{Z}^2 to mathbb{R}^+ ) such that for all ((m, n) in mathbb{Z}^2), the value of ( f(m, n) ) is the arithmetic mean of the values at the four adjacent points. Formally, this can be written as: [ f(m, n) = frac{f(m+1, n) + f(m-1, n) + f(m, n+1) + f(m, n-1)}{4} ] We need to prove that ( f ) is constant, i.e., ( f(m, n) = c ) for some constant ( c ) and for all ((m, n) in mathbb{Z}^2). 1. **Define the Unbiased Random Walk:** Consider an unbiased random walk ({X_n}_{n in mathbb{N}}) on (mathbb{Z}^2) starting at ((0, 0)). This means that at each step, the walk moves to one of the four adjacent points with equal probability ( frac{1}{4} ). 2. **Define the Martingale:** Let ( Y_n = f(X_n) ). Since ( f ) satisfies the mean value property, ( {Y_n}_{n in mathbb{N}} ) is a martingale. This is because: [ mathbb{E}[Y_{n+1} mid Y_1, Y_2, ldots, Y_n] = mathbb{E}[f(X_{n+1}) mid X_n] = f(X_n) = Y_n ] Here, the expectation is taken over the four possible moves of the random walk. 3. **Apply Doob's Forward Convergence Theorem:** By Doob's Forward Convergence Theorem, a non-negative martingale converges almost surely. Therefore, there exists a constant ( c ) such that: [ lim_{n to infty} Y_n = c quad text{almost surely} ] 4. **Implication for the Function ( f ):** The convergence ( lim_{n to infty} Y_n = c ) implies that ( f ) can be made arbitrarily close to ( c ) along 'most' of the boundary of any sufficiently large square. Since ( f ) at the center of the square is a weighted average of ( f ) along the boundary, ( f ) must be arbitrarily close to ( c ) at the center of the square as well. 5. **Conclusion:** Since the argument holds for any point ((m, n) in mathbb{Z}^2), it follows that ( f(m, n) = c ) for all ((m, n) in mathbb{Z}^2). Thus, ( f ) is constant. (blacksquare)
