Unitary Method
The word “unitary” comes from the word “unit”, which means a single and complete entity. In this method, we find the value of a unit product from the given number of products, and then we solve for the other number of products.
Speed, Time, and Distance
Imagine you and 3 of your friends are planning to go to the playground at 6 in the evening. Your house is one mile away from the playground and one of your friends named Jim must start at 5 pm to reach the playground by walk. The other two friends are 3 miles away.
Profit and Loss
The amount earned or lost on the sale of one or more items is referred to as the profit or loss on that item.
Units and Measurements
Measurements and comparisons are the foundation of science and engineering. We, therefore, need rules that tell us how things are measured and compared. For these measurements and comparisons, we perform certain experiments, and we will need the experiments to set up the devices.
In the compound interest example on P.344. Calculate S20 and T240. Which is the better investment after 20 years?
![Example 8.2.3: Compound Interest
Suppose you are offered two retirement savings plans. In Plan
A, you start with $1,000, and each year (on the anniversary of
the plan), you are paid 11% simple interest, and you add
$1,000. In Plan B, you start with $100, and each month, you
are paid one-twelfth of 10% simple (annual) interest, and you
add $100. Which plan will be larger after 40
years?
// Can we apply a recurrence equation?
Consider Plan A and let S , denote the number of dollars in
the plan after (exactly) n years of operation. Then So = $1,000
and
Sn+1 = Sn + interest on S, +$1000
= S, + 11% of Sn

= $646 826.
// Can that be right? You put in $40,000 and take out >

Now consider Plan B and let T, denote the number of
dollars in the plan after (exactly) n months of operation. Then
To = $100 and

Hence, after 40 × 12 months,

A first-order linear recurrence equation relates consecutive
entries in a sequence by an equation of the form
Sn+1 = aS n + c
for V n e N.
The general solution is given in two parts:
if a = 1,
Sn = A + nc
for V n e N;
if a + 1,
Sn = a"A +
for Vn e N.
A particular solution is obtained by determining a
specific, numerical value for A. In fact, a particular solution is
determined by a specific, numerical value J for any
(particular) entry, S -](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2Fd55d239b-1399-4942-bcb8-cf1bf4c668fb%2Febb47619-6969-437c-999a-0b242445da7e%2F22803r9_processed.png&w=3840&q=75)
