Prove for any positive integer n, n^3 +11n is a multiple of 6

Answers

Answer 1

There are probably other ways to approach this, but I'll focus on a proof by induction.

The base case is that n = 1. Plugging this into the expression gets us

n^3+11n = 1^3+11(1) = 1+11 = 12

which is a multiple of 6. So that takes care of the base case.

----------------------------------

Now for the inductive step, which is often a tricky thing to grasp if you're not used to it. I recommend keeping at practice to get better familiar with these types of proofs.

The idea is this: assume that k^3+11k is a multiple of 6 for some integer k > 1

Based on that assumption, we need to prove that (k+1)^3+11(k+1) is also a multiple of 6. Note how I've replaced every k with k+1. This is the next value up after k.

If we can show that the (k+1)th case works, based on the assumption, then we've effectively wrapped up the inductive proof. Think of it like a chain of dominoes. One knocks over the other to take care of every case (aka every positive integer n)

-----------------------------------

Let's do a bit of algebra to say

(k+1)^3+11(k+1)

(k^3+3k^2+3k+1) + 11(k+1)

k^3+3k^2+3k+1+11k+11

(k^3+11k) + (3k^2+3k+12)

(k^3+11k) + 3(k^2+k+4)

At this point, we have the k^3+11k as the first group while we have 3(k^2+k+4) as the second group. We already know that k^3+11k is a multiple of 6, so we don't need to worry about it. We just need to show that 3(k^2+k+4) is also a multiple of 6. This means we need to show k^2+k+4 is a multiple of 2, i.e. it's even.

------------------------------------

If k is even, then k = 2m for some integer m

That means k^2+k+4 = (2m)^2+(2m)+4 = 4m^2+2m+4 = 2(m^2+m+2)

We can see that if k is even, then k^2+k+4 is also even.

If k is odd, then k = 2m+1 and

k^2+k+4 = (2m+1)^2+(2m+1)+4 = 4m^2+4m+1+2m+1+4 = 2(2m^2+3m+3)

That shows k^2+k+4 is even when k is odd.

-------------------------------------

In short, the last section shows that k^2+k+4 is always even for any integer

That then points to 3(k^2+k+4) being a multiple of 6

Which then further points to (k^3+11k) + 3(k^2+k+4) being a multiple of 6

It's a lot of work, but we've shown that (k+1)^3+11(k+1) is a multiple of 6 based on the assumption that k^3+11k is a multiple of 6.

This concludes the inductive step and overall the proof is done by this point.

If an impulse travels 100 m/s, about how long will it take the impulse to travel 10 meters?

Answers

Answer:

0.1 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

10/100=0.1

Answer:

1/10th of a second or .1seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

100m/s meaning its traveling 100 meters a second.

Since its going to travel 10 meters, it will take 1/10 the time since 10/100 = 1/10

The time is in seconds so it will take them 1/10th of a second.

Im so so so sorry but I don’t understand what the question is asking

The verticies of J’K’L would be,  J'(-a, -b), K'(-c, -d), and L'(-e, -f).

What are transformations?

Two-dimensional figures can be transformed mathematically in order to travel about a plane or coordinate system.

Dilation: The preimage is scaled up or down to create the image.

Reflection: The picture is a preimage that has been reversed.

Rotation: Around a given point, the preimage is rotated to create the final image.

Translation: The image is translated and moved a fixed amount from the preimage.

Given, Triangle JKL is rotated 180 about the origin, resulting in triangle J’K’L.

Assuming the coordinates of J(a, b), K(c, d) and L(e, f).

We know a rotation of 180° to (x , y) ⇒ (- x, - y).

Therefore, The vertices of J’K’L would be,  J'(-a, -b), K'(-c, -d), and L'(-e, -f).

what is the price of you pizza with all the toppings?

Answers

Each answer is under each Part

1. What is the price of you pizza with all the toppings?                                

$16

The pizza costs 12 dollars, and each topping costs 1.75 dollars, there are 4 toppings, so it's 12 + 1.75*4 = 12 + 4 = 16 dollars.

2. How much will you pay in tax?                                                                

$0.80

It costs 16 dollars and tax is 5%, so 5% of 16. 16*5% = 16*0.05 = 0.8, so 0.8 dollars, or $0.80

3. What is the total cost including tax?                                                    

$16.80

Add the cost of the pizza with the tax, 16 + 0.8 = 16.8, $16.80

4. How much will each of you need to pay to cover the total price?

$4.20

There are 4 people total, You and 3 friends, so divide the total cost by 4, 16.80/4 = 4.2, so $4.20

All you have to do is calculate using the formula, Δy divided by Δx. What does Δy divided by Δx mean?

All we have to do is look at two points. Let's take, for example, (-2, -10) and (2, -8).

-2 and 2 are the x-values of the points and -10 and -8 are the y-values of the points as coordinates are in the format of (x, y).

All we have to do is minus the y-coordinates and then proceed the minus the x-coordinates. The order does not matter, as in you can do either of these ways:

[(-10) - (-8)] ÷ [(-2) - (2)] = -2 / -4 = 1/2

or

[(-8) - (-10)] ÷ [(2) - (-2)] = 2 / 4 = 1/2

So the constant rate of change or the answer is 1/2.
