  1. Wait patiently for a helper to come along.
  2. Once someone helps you, say thank you and close the thread with:
+close
  1. Feel free to nominate the person for helper of the week in #helper-nominations
  2. Do not ping the mods, unless someone is breaking the rules.
  3. If you're happy with the help you got here, and the server overall, you can contribute financially as well:

So T 9+1 is the biggest

terse vault
#

Hm, interesting.
Well, first of all, what's the tenth term?

tame tartan
#

i can use the formula

terse vault
#

Yeah, you can use the binomial expansion.

tame tartan
#

yea

terse vault
#

Yeah, that's correct. Though, I'm not 100% sure what to do next.

tame tartan
#

yea me neither

terse vault
#

Let's call it a(n).

#

Try calculating a(n + 1)/a(n).

tame tartan
#

yea

#

like this formula

terse vault
#

Wait, what's x?

#

We don't have an x here.

is a formula for this case

terse vault
#

Oh, you meant the general case, ok.

yea mb

The current price of Bitcoin is $51,061.90, if it drops to 39000$ and if a person invest PKR 5,000 in Bitcoin, and later it reaches $100,000, what will be his profit in rupees?"

You can't use this formula here, as the term in the binomial also depends on n.

#

We need to do it explicitly.

#

a(n) = C(n, 9) 2^(n - 9) n^9
a(n + 1) = C(n + 1, 9) 2^(n - 8) (n + 1)^9
As C(n + 1, 9)/C(n, 9) = (n + 1)/(n - 8), we get:
a(n + 1)/a(n) = 2(n + 1)^10/(n^9 (n - 8))

#

Now, we need to find the maximum value of that expression.

#

We can do that as usual, by differentiation.

tame tartan
#

how can we use differentiation?

#

we know tho that the tenth term is the biggest

#

how can we use that

terse vault
tame tartan
#

i do not really understand how we can use a derivative here

terse vault
#

As usual: quotient and product rules.

terse vault
tame tartan
#

is 0?

terse vault
#

Well, we need to set it to be equal to 0.

#

The derivative obviously isn't just 0, though.

yea
