几何序列益智游戏

以下问题困扰了我几天(注意:这不是作业)。

存在两个等比数列,其和为 9。它们的第二项 (t2) 的值为 2。

  1. 求公比 (r)
  2. 求每个等比数列的第一个元素 (t1)

(1) 的答案是 2/3 和 1 /3 和 (2) 的答案分别是 3 和 6。不幸的是,我不明白这些是如何得出的。

在解决 (1) 问题时,我尝试应用代数替换来求解 r,如下所示:

t2 = t1*r; since t2 = 2 we have:
t1 = 2/r

计算收敛到极限的序列之和 (S) 的方程由下式给出:

S  = t1 / (1 - r)

因此,我尝试将我的值代入将 t1 代入 S 并按如下方式求解 r:

9 = (2/r) / (1-r)
9(1-r) = 2/r
2/9 = r(1-r)

不幸的是,从这一点开始我陷入了困境。我需要消除其中一个 r,但我似乎做不到。

接下来,我想使用对序列的前两项 (S2) 求和的公式来求解 r:

S2 = (t1 (1-r^2)) / (1-r)
t1 + 2 = (t1 (1-r^2)) / (1-r)

但是将其展开,我再次遇到相同的问题(无法消除其中一个 r)。

所以我有两个问题:

  1. 导出 r 时我做错了什么?
  2. 一旦我有了其中一个值,我如何导出另一个值?

The following problem has been puzzling me for a couple of days (nb: this is not homework).

There exists two geometric sequences that sum to 9. The value of their second term (t2) is 2.

  1. Find the common ratio (r)
  2. Find the first element (t1) of each

The answers to (1) are 2/3 and 1/3 and the answers to (2) are 3 and 6 respectively. Unfortunately, I can't understand how these were derived.

In tackling (1) I've tried to apply algebraic substitution to solve for r as follows:

t2 = t1*r; since t2 = 2 we have:
t1 = 2/r

The equation for calculating the sum (S) of a sequence that converges to a limit is given by:

S  = t1 / (1 - r)

So, I tried to plug my value of t1 into S and solve for r as follows:

9 = (2/r) / (1-r)
9(1-r) = 2/r
2/9 = r(1-r)

Unfortunately, from this point I get stuck. I need to eliminate one of the r's but I can't seem to be able to.

Next, I thought to solve for r using the formula that sums the first 2 terms (S2) of the sequence:

S2 = (t1 (1-r^2)) / (1-r)
t1 + 2 = (t1 (1-r^2)) / (1-r)

but expanding this out I again run into the same problem (can't eliminate one of the r's).

So I have 2 questions:

  1. What am I doing wrong when deriving r?
  2. Once I have one of its values, how I derive the other?

r 的,但我似乎做不到。

你需要学会因式分解!

2/9 = r(1-r)
2/9 = r - r^2
2 = 9r - 9r^2
9r^2 - 9r + 2 = 0
(3r)^2 - 3(3r) + 2 = 0

为了更简单,让 R = 3r

R^2 - 3R + 2 = 0
(R - 1)(R - 2) = 0

so 3r - 1 = 0, or 3r - 2 = 0
i.e. r = 1/3 or r = 2/3.

并且你的第一项是 2/(1/3) = 6,或 2/(2/3) = 3

QED!

2/9 = r(1-r)

You need to learn to factorise!

2/9 = r(1-r)
2/9 = r - r^2
2 = 9r - 9r^2
9r^2 - 9r + 2 = 0
(3r)^2 - 3(3r) + 2 = 0

to make it easier, let R = 3r

R^2 - 3R + 2 = 0
(R - 1)(R - 2) = 0

so 3r - 1 = 0, or 3r - 2 = 0
i.e. r = 1/3 or r = 2/3.

And your first term is 2/(1/3) = 6, or 2/(2/3) = 3

QED!

2/9 = r (1 - r)

将其重写为 ax2 + bx + c 并使用二次公式求解:

2/9 = r - r2< br>
r2 - r + 2/9 = 0

使用二次公式,根为:
[-1 ± √(1 - 8/9)] / 2
= (1 ± 1/3) / 2
= 1/2 ± 1/6
= 1/3 或 2/3

编辑: 哎呀,我花了太长时间才弄清楚如何写加/减和平方根。 :-P

2/9 = r (1 - r)

Rewrite this as ax2 + bx + c and use the quadratic formula to solve it:

2/9 = r - r2
r2 - r + 2/9 = 0

Using the quadratic formula, the roots are:
[-1 ± √(1 - 8/9)] / 2
= (1 ± 1/3) / 2
= 1/2 ± 1/6
= 1/3 or 2/3

Edit: Aw shoot, I spent way too long figuring out how to write plus/minus and square root. :-P
