Answer:
see below
Step-by-step explanation:
(ab)^n=a^n * b^n
We need to show that it is true for n=1
assuming that it is true for n = k;
(ab)^n=a^n * b^n
( ab) ^1 = a^1 * b^1
ab = a * b
ab = ab
Then we need to show that it is true for n = ( k+1)
or (ab)^(k+1)=a^( k+1) * b^( k+1)
Starting with
(ab)^k=a^k * b^k given
Multiply each side by ab
ab * (ab)^k= ab *a^k * b^k
( ab) ^ ( k+1) = a^ ( k+1) b^ (k+1)
Therefore, the rule is true for every natural number n
Hello, n being an integer, we need to prove that one statement depending on n is true, let's note it S(n).
The mathematical induction involves two steps:
Step 1 - We need to prove S(1), meaning that the statement is true for n = 1
Step 2 - for k integer > 1, we assume S(k) and we need to prove that S(k+1) is true.
Imagine that you are a painter and you need to paint all the trees on one side of a road. You have several colours that you can use but you are asked to follow two rules:
Rule 1 - You need to paint the first tree in white.
Rule 2 - If one tree is white you have to paint the next one in white too.
What colour do you think all the trees will be painted?
Do you see why this is very important to prove the two steps as well ?
Let's do it in this example.
Step 1 - for n = 1, let's prove that S(1) is true, meaning [tex](ab)^1=a\cdot b =a^1\cdot b^1[/tex]
So the statement is true for n = 1
Step 2 - Let's assume that this is true for k, and we have to prove that this is true for k+1
So we assume S(k), meaning that [tex](ab)^k=a^k\cdot b^k[/tex]
and what about S(k+1), meaning [tex](ab)^{k+1}=a^{k+1}\cdot b^{k+1}[/tex] ?
We will use the fact that this is true for k,
[tex](ab)^{k+1}=(ab)\cdot (ab)^k =(ab) \cdot a^k \cdot b^k[/tex]
We can write it because the statement at k is true and then we can conclude.
[tex](ab)^{k+1}=(ab)\cdot (ab)^k =(ab) \cdot a^k \cdot b^k=a^{k+1}\cdot b^{k+1}[/tex]
In conclusion, we have just proved that S(n) is true for any n integer greater or equal to 1, meaning [tex](ab)^{n}=a^{n}\cdot b^{n}[/tex]
Hope this helps.

The size of a television is the length of the diagonal of its screen in inches. The aspect ratio of the screens of older televisions is 4:3, while the aspect ratio of newer wide-screen televisions is 16:9. Find the width and height of an older 35-inch television whose screen has an aspect ratio of 4:3.
Answer:
The Width = 28 inches
The Height = 21 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
We are told in the question that:
The width and height of an older 35-inch television whose screen has an aspect ratio of 4:3
Using Pythagoras Theorem
Width² + Height² = Diagonal²
Since we known that the size of a television is the length of the diagonal of its screen in inches.
Hence, for this new TV
Width² + Height² = 35²
We are given ratio: 4:3 as aspect ratio
Width = 4x
Height = 3x
(4x)² +(3x)² = 35²
= 16x² + 9x² = 35²
25x² = 1225
x² = 1225/25
x² = 49
x = √49
x = 7
Hence, for the 35 inch tv set
The Width = 4x
= 4 × 7
= 28 inches.
The Height = 3x
= 3 × 7
= 21 inches

Techwiz electronics makes a profit of $35 for each mp3 and $18 for each DVD last week techwiz sold a combined total of 118 mp3 and DVD players. Let x be the number of mp3 sold last week write an expression for the combined total profit (in dollars) made last week
Answer:
The total profit is [tex]p = 17x + 2124[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question we are told that
The profit made on each mp3 is k = $35
The profit made on each mp3 is y = $18
The total amount sold is n = 118
Now given that the amount of mp3 sold is x then the amount of DVD sold is mathematically evaluated as
[tex]n - x[/tex]
Now the profit made on the x number of mp3 sold is
[tex]x * 35 = 3x[/tex]
And the the profit made from the n-x number of DVD sold is 18 (n-x ) = 18 - 18x
So the total profit made last week from the sales of both mp3 and DVD is
[tex]p = 35x + 18n - 18x[/tex]
[tex]p = 17x + 18(118)[/tex]
[tex]p = 17x + 2124[/tex]

As you wake up to get your day started, you decide to make muffins for breakfast. The recipe you are
using makes 2 dozen muffins and calls for 3 cups of flour and 1 cup of sugar. You decide to only make
18 muffins. How many cups of flour and sugar will you need for your recipe?
The above problem can easily be solved using a proportion. Show your work
Answer:
4 cups of flour is needed and 4/3 cups of sugar
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
2 dozen Muffins; 3 cups of flour and 1 cup of sugar
Required
Determine the cups of flour if 18 muffins is used
First, we have to determine the proportion of the number of muffins used previously and now;
Represent this with p;
[tex]p = \frac{2\ dozen}{18}[/tex]
[tex]p = \frac{2 * 12}{18}[/tex]
[tex]p = \frac{24}{18}[/tex]
[tex]p = \frac{4}{3}[/tex]
Multiply this to the previous cups of flours and sugars;
Cups of flour = p * previous cups of flour
[tex]Cups\ of\ flour = \frac{4}{3} * 3[/tex]
[tex]Cups\ of\ flour = 4[/tex]
Cups of Sugar = p * previous cups of sugar
[tex]Cups\ of\ sugar= \frac{4}{3} * 1[/tex]

Answer:
B. y = –2.9x + 13.5
Step-by-step explanation:
You can try to use the calculator to determine the best line for the values given; you will se that the calculator form, for the linear function is
y = a + bx, where a is the y intercept and b is the slope.
To determine the slope, we apply a formula, to calculate the product of the two xy and, x², plus the sum of each column.
x y xy x²
1 . 11 = 11 → x² = 1² = 1
2 . 8 = 16 → x² = 2² = 4
3 . 4 = 12 → x² = 3² = 9
4 . 1 = 4 → x² = 4² = 16
5 . 0 = 0 → x² = 5² = 25
Total x = 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 = 15
Total y = 11 + 8 + 4+ 1 + 0 = 24
Sum of xy = 11 + 16 + 12 + 4 + 0 = 43
Sum of x² = 1 + 4 + 9 + 16 + 25 = 55
n = 5
So b = 5 (43) - (15) . (24) / 5 (55) - 15² = -2.9
a = y media - b . x media → a = 24/5 - (-2.9) . 15/5 = 13.5
In a triangle ABC two points D,E are taken on BC so that angle BAD=angle DAE=angleCAE. Determine AE if AB=5,BC=10 angle BAC=90. PLEASE HELP I NEED HELP WITHIN TEN MINS PLEASE
Answer:
AE = 7.5
Step-by-step explanation:
Since <BAC = [tex]90^{0}[/tex], then;
<BAD = <DAE = <CAE = [tex]30^{0}[/tex] (complementary angles)
From ΔABC, applying the Pythagoras theorem to determine the length of side AC;
[tex]/BC/^{2}[/tex] = [tex]/AC/^{2}[/tex] + [tex]/AB/^{2}[/tex]
[tex]/10/^{2}[/tex] = [tex]/AC/^{2}[/tex] + [tex]/5/^{2}[/tex]
100 = [tex]/AC/^{2}[/tex] + 25
[tex]/AC/^{2}[/tex] = 100 - 25
[tex]/AC/^{2}[/tex] = 75
AC = [tex]\sqrt{75}[/tex]
Applying trigonometric function to ΔCAE,
Cos [tex]30^{0}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{AE}{\sqrt{75} }[/tex]
AE = [tex]\sqrt{75}[/tex] × Cos [tex]30^{0}[/tex]
= 7.5
Therefore, AE = 7.5
The mean number of rushing yards for one NFL team was less than 99 yards per game. If a hypothesis test is performed, how should you interpret a decision that rejects the null hypothesis?
Question options :
A. There is sufficient evidence to reject the claim
u < 99.
B. There is sufficient evidence to support the claim
u < 99.
C. There is not sufficient evidence to reject the claim
u < 99.
D. There is not sufficient evidence to support the claim
u< 99.
Answer:
B. There is sufficient evidence to support the claim
u < 99.
Step-by-step explanation:
We construct the n*ll and alternative hypotheses to support our claim
The n*ll hypothesis :H0
The alternative hypothesis : Ha
N*ll hypothesis =H0: u=99
Alternative hypothesis =Ha: u<99
So if n*ll hypothesis (H0) u=99 is rejected, then we accept the alternative hypothesis that u<99
we can therefore have sufficient evidence to support our claim that u<99

If they are congruent, complete the following statement: "Yes, triangle __ congruent to triangle __ giving a detailed explanation of your reasoning. If they are not congruent, explain why you think so. Be specific in your answer and make sure to show your work.
Answer: The triangles are not congruent
==========================================
Explanation:
For triangle DEF, the missing angle D is
D+E+F = 180
D+80+60 = 180
D+140 = 180
D = 180-140
D = 40
While the missing angle K in triangle JKL is
J+K+L = 180
80+K+50 = 180
K+130 = 180
K = 180-130
K = 50
---------------------
The three angles for triangle DEF are
D = 40E = 80F = 60The three angles for triangle JKL are
J = 80K = 50L = 50We don't have all the angles matching up. We need to have the same three numbers (the order doesn't matter) show up for both triangles in order for the triangles to be congruent. This is because congruent triangles have congruent corresponding angles.
The only pair that matches is E = 80 and J = 80, but everything else is different. So there is no way the triangles are congruent.
Notice how triangle JKL has two congruent base angles (K = 50 and L = 50), so this triangle is isosceles. Triangle DEF is not isosceles as we have three different angles, so this triangle is scalene.
A number is chosen at random from the set of consecutive natural numbers $\{1, 2, 3, \ldots, 24\}$. What is the probability that the number chosen is a factor of $4!$? Express your answer as a common fraction.
Answer:
[tex]Probability = \frac{1}{3}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
[tex]Set:\ \{1, 2, 3, \ldots, 24\}[/tex]
[tex]n(Set) = 24[/tex]
Required
Determine the probability of selecting a factor of 4!
First, we have to calculate 4!
[tex]4! = 4 * 3 * 2 * 1[/tex]
[tex]4! = 24[/tex]
Then, we list set of all factors of 24
[tex]Factors:\ \{1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24\}[/tex]
[tex]n(Factors) = 8[/tex]
The probability of selecting a factor if 24 is calculated as:
[tex]Probability = \frac{n(Factor)}{n(Set)}[/tex]
Substitute values for n(Set) and n(Factors)
[tex]Probability = \frac{8}{24}[/tex]
Simplify to lowest term
[tex]Probability = \frac{1}{3}[/tex]

A low-noise transistor for use in computing products is being developed. It is claimed that the mean noise level will be below the 2.5-dB level of products currently in use. It is believed that the noise level is approximately normal with a standard deviation of .8. find 95% CI
Answer:
The 95% CI is [tex]2.108 < \mu < 2.892[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question we are told that
The population mean [tex]\mu = 2.5[/tex]
The standard deviation is [tex]\sigma = 0.8[/tex]
Given that the confidence level is 95% then the level of confidence is mathematically evaluated as
[tex]\alpha = 100 - 95[/tex]
=> [tex]\alpha = 5\%[/tex]
=> [tex]\alpha = 0.05[/tex]
Next we obtain the critical value of [tex]\frac{\alpha }{2}[/tex] from the normal distribution table, the values is [tex]Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } = 1.96[/tex]
Generally the margin of error is mathematically evaluated as
[tex]E = Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } * \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} }[/tex]
here we would assume that the sample size is n = 16 since the person that posted the question did not include the sample size
So
[tex]E = 1.96* \frac{0.8}{\sqrt{16} }[/tex]
[tex]E = 0.392[/tex]
The 95% CI is mathematically represented as
[tex]\= x -E < \mu < \= x +E[/tex]
substituting values
[tex]2.5 - 0.392 < \mu < 2.5 + 0.392[/tex]
substituting values
[tex]2.108 < \mu < 2.892[/tex]

One of two small classrooms is chosen at random with equally likely probability, and then a student is chosen at random from the chosen classroom. Classroom #1 has 5 boys and 11 girls. Classroom #2 has 15 boys and 9 girls. What is the probability that Classroom #2 was chosen at random, given that a girl was chosen? Your answers should be rounded to 4 digits after the decimal.
Answer:
0.1875
Step-by-step explanation:
Let A be the event that class two has been chosen . So the probability of A would be P (A) = 1/2= 0.5
Now class two has 9 girls out of total 24 students . So the probability of chosing the girl would be= P (B=) 9/24= 0.375
So the probability that Classroom #2 was chosen at random, given that a girl was chosen is given by = P(A) . P(B)= 0.5 * 0.375= 0.1875
Another way of finding the probability that Classroom #2 was chosen at random, given that a girl was chosen is by drawing a tree diagram.
P (1/2) Class 1 ------------------------5 boys
-------------------------11 girls (11/16)
P (1/2) Class 2 -------------------------15 boys
-----------------------9 girls P (9/24) Class 2 was chosen (0.5) *9/24

2 82 84
3 90 84
4 76 70
5 79 80

Answer:
Since the calculated value of t= 2.249 does not falls in the rejection region we therefore accept the null hypothesis at 5 % significance level . On the basis of this we conclude that the bonus plan has not increased sales significantly.
Step-by-step explanation:
The null and alternative hypotheses as
H0: μd=0 Ha: μd≠0
Significance level is set at ∝= 0.05
n= 6
degrees of freedom = df = 6-1 = 5
The critical region is t ( base alpha by 2 with df=5) ≥ ± 2.571
The test statistic under H0 is
t = d/ sd/ √n
Which has t distribution with n-1 degrees of freedom
Sales Difference
Person After Before d = after - before d²
1 94 90 4 16
2 82 84 -2 4
3 90 84 6 36
4 76 70 6 36
5 79 80 -1 1
6 85 80 5 25
∑ 18 118
d`= ∑d/n= 18/6= 3
sd²= 1/6( 118- 18²/6) = 1/6 ( 118 - 54) = 10.67
sd= 3.266
t= 3/ 3.266/ √6
t= 2.249
Since the calculated value of t= 2.249 does not falls in the rejection region we therefore accept the null hypothesis at 5 % significance level . On the basis of this we conclude that the bonus plan has not increased sales significantly.

A positive correlation between 2 variables means that they generally move in the same direction meaning that as one variable rises, the other rises as well and as the other falls, the other falls as well.
However, the correlation can be strong, weak or anything in-between. This means that just because one variable increases by 12 does not mean the other would as well. It could increase by 1 alone and still have a positive correlation albeit a small one.
Therefore, if the value of one variable is above the mean, it doesn't always follow that the other with a positive correlation will as well as they just might not have that strong a correlation.
If (x - 2) and (x + 1) are factors of
x + px? + qx + 1, what is the sum of p and q?
Answer:
p + q = -3
Step-by-step explanation:
First we need to take the original equation, and factor it to a form that's easier to get two binomial factors from (i.e., let's get a quadratic):
x^3 + px^2 + qx + 1
= x (x^2 + px + q) + 1
Now that we have factored out the x, we have a quadratic trinomial which we know can be broken down into two linear binomials. The problem gives us two linear binomials, so let's take a look.
(x - 2) (x + 1) = (x^2 + px + q)
x^2 - 2x + x -2 = x^2 + px + q
Now let's solve.
x^2 - x - 2 = x^2 + px + q
-x - 2 = px + q
From here, we can easily see that p = -1 (the coefficient of x) and q = -2.
Hence, p + q = -1 + -2 = -3.

Lunch Choices of Students
The bar graph shows the percent of students that chose each food in the school
cafeteria. Which statement about the graph is true?
Answer:
(2) If 300 lunches were sold, then 120 chose tacos.
Step-by-step explanation:
We can evaluate each option and see if it makes it true.
For 1: If 200 lunches were served, 10 more students chose pizza over hotdogs.
We can find how many pizzas/hotdogs were given if 200 lunches were served by relating it to 100.
20% chose hotdog, which is [tex]\frac{20}{100}[/tex]. Multiply both the numerator and denominator by two: [tex]\frac{40}{200}[/tex] - so 40 students chose hotdogs.
Same logic for pizza: 30% chose pizza - [tex]\frac{30}{100} = \frac{60}{200}[/tex] so 60.
60 - 40 = 20, not 10, so 1 doesn't work.
2: If 300 lunches were sold, then 120 chose tacos.
Let's set up a proportion again. 40% of 100 is 40.
[tex]\frac{40}{100} = \frac{40\cdot3}{300} = \frac{120}{300}[/tex]
So 120 tacos were chosen - yes this works!
Hope this helped!
