Short Answer

Find the sequence with each of these functions as its exponential generating functionf(x)=e3x-3e2x.

ak=3k-3·2k.

See the step by step solution

Step by Step Solution

Step 1: Given data

The given function is f(x)=e3x-3e2x

Step 2: Concept used of generating function

The ordinary generating function of a sequence an is

G(an;x)=n=0anxn.

Step 3: Solve the function

Using k=0+akk!xk=ex, we have

e3x-3e2x=k=0+(3x)kk!-3k=0+(2x)kk!

=k=0+3kxkk!-3k=0+2kxkk!

=k=0+3k-3·2kxkk!

The sequence ak are then the coefficients of xkk!in the above sum: ak=3k-3·2k.
