Using the Principle of Mathematical Induction, prove that . n ^2 − n is even for n ≥ 1​

Answers

Answer 1

Base case: if n = 1, then

1² - 1 = 0

which is even.

Induction hypothesis: assume the statement is true for n = k, namely that k ² - k is even. This means that k ² - k = 2m for some integer m.

Induction step: show that the assumption implies (k + 1)² - (k + 1) is also even. We have

(k + 1)² - (k + 1) = k ² + 2k + 1 - k - 1

… = (k ² - k) + 2k

… = 2m + 2k

… = 2 (m + k)

which is clearly even. QED

The width of a rectangle measures (2p - 9q) centimeters, and its length measures
(7p - 10q) centimeters. Which expression represents the perimeter, in centimeters,
of the rectangle?

Answers

Given Data : Length = (7p - 10q) and Breadth = (2p - 9q)

Calculation :

⟹ Perimeter = 2(Length + Breadth)

⟹ Perimeter = 2(7p - 10q + 2p - 9q)

⟹ Perimeter = 2(9p - 19q)

⟹ Perimeter = 18p - 38q centimetres

Answer : 18p - 38q centimetres

The required perimeter of the rectangle is 18p - 38q centimeters.

It is required to find the required perimeter of the rectangle.

What is rectangle?

A rectangle is a type of quadrilateral, whose opposite sides are equal and parallel. It is a four-sided polygon that has four angles, equal to 90 degrees. A rectangle is a two-dimensional shape.

Given:

width of a rectangle = (2p - 9q) centimeters,

length measures= (7p - 10q) centimeters.

We know that

⟹ Perimeter = 2(Length + Breadth)

By put the value width and length in perimeter we get,

⟹ Perimeter = 2(7p - 10q + 2p - 9q)

⟹ Perimeter = 2(9p - 19q)

⟹ Perimeter = 18p - 38q centimeters

Therefore, the required perimeter of the rectangle is 18p - 38q centimeters.

Answer:

the length of each shape will alternate between even numbers and is numbers.

Step-by-step explanation:

just think !

there are 3 cubes in the basic shape.

now, with every step he adds 1 more cube to the length, and one more cube to the height. that means 2 more cubes.

so, it goes 3, 5, 7, 9, ... cubes

therefore, the first answer is wrong. the shape in every step will always have an uneven (odd) number of boxes. remember, adding an even number to an uneven number will always result in an uneven number. only uneven and uneven or even and even can have even results.

but the length itself - he only adds there one box at a time, will go

2, 3, 4, 5, 6, ...

so, it will alternate between even and uneven numbers.

Find the linear function f if f^-1(2)=-1 and f^-1 (-9)=3

Answers

Answer:

[tex]\displaystyle f(x) = -\frac{11}{4}(x + 1) + 2[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to find the linear function given that:

[tex]f^{-1}(2) = -1\text{ and } f^{-1} (-9) = 3[/tex]

Recall that by the definition of inverse functions:

[tex]\displaystyle \text{If } f(a) = b\text{ then } f^{-1}(b) = a[/tex]

In other words, f(-1) = 2 and f(3) = -9.

This yields two points: (-1, 2) and (3, -9).

Find the slope of the linear function:

[tex]\displaystyle m = \frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x} = \frac{(-9) - (2)}{(3) -(-1)} = -\frac{11}{4}[/tex]

From point-slope form:

[tex]\displaystyle y - (2) = -\frac{11}{4}( x- (-1))[/tex]

Hence:

[tex]\displaystyle f(x) = -\frac{11}{4}(x + 1) + 2[/tex]

We can simplify if desired:

[tex]\displaystyle f(x) = -\frac{11}{4}x -\frac{3}{4}[/tex]

what is the zero turn for the arithmetic sequence 128,96,64,32

Answers

You are falling by [tex]32[/tex],

In general your sequence is defined as,

[tex]a_n=128-32\cdot n[/tex] where [tex]0\leq n \lt\infty[/tex].

The question is at which [tex]n[/tex] does the value [tex]a_n=0[/tex].

If you divide [tex]128[/tex] with [tex]32[/tex] you get the number of steps needed to stuff [tex]128[/tex] with [tex]32[/tex], [tex]4[/tex].

If you plug in [tex]n=4[/tex], you get [tex]a_4=128-32\cdot4[/tex], since [tex]32\cdot4=128[/tex] you get [tex]a_4=0[/tex].

Given that f(x) = 2x³-7x²+7ax+ 16 is divisible by x-a, find
(i) the value of the constant a
(ii) the remainder when f(x) is divided by 2x+1.

Answers

Answer:

a = - 2, remainder = 21

Step-by-step explanation:

The Remainder theorem states that if f(x) is divided by (x - a) the remainder is f(a)

Since f(x) is divisible by (x - a) then remainder is zero , then

f(a) = 2a³ - 7a² + 7a² + 16 = 0 , that is

2a³ + 16 = 0 ( subtract 16 from both sides )

2a³ = - 16 ( divide both sides by 2 )

a³ = - 8 ( take the cube root of both sides )

a = [tex]\sqrt[3]{-8}[/tex] = - 2

Then

f(x) = 2x³ - 7x² - 14x + 16

Evaluate f(- [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] ) for remainder on division by (2x + 1)

f(- [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] ) = 2(- [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] )³ - 7(- [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] )² - 14(- [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] ) + 16

        = 2(- [tex]\frac{1}{8}[/tex] ) - 7([tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex] ) + 7 + 16

        = - [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex] - [tex]\frac{7}{4}[/tex] + 23

        = - [tex]\frac{8}{4}[/tex] + 23

       = - 2 + 23

       = 21
