Given that 'n' is any natural numbers greater than or equal 2. Prove the following Inequality with Mathematical Induction

The base case is the claim that

\dfrac11 + \dfrac12 > \dfrac{2\cdot2}{2+1}

which reduces to

\dfrac32 > \dfrac43 \implies \dfrac46 > \dfrac86

which is true.

Assume that the inequality holds for <em>n</em> = <em>k </em>; that

\dfrac11 + \dfrac12 + \dfrac13 + \cdots + \dfrac1k > \dfrac{2k}{k+1}

We want to show if this is true, then the equality also holds for <em>n</em> = <em>k</em> + 1 ; that

\dfrac11 + \dfrac12 + \dfrac13 + \cdots + \dfrac1k + \dfrac1{k+1} > \dfrac{2(k+1)}{k+2}

By the induction hypothesis,

\dfrac11 + \dfrac12 + \dfrac13 + \cdots + \dfrac1k + \dfrac1{k+1} > \dfrac{2k}{k+1} + \dfrac1{k+1} = \dfrac{2k+1}{k+1}

Now compare this to the upper bound we seek:

\dfrac{2k+1}{k+1}  > \dfrac{2k+2}{k+2}

because

(2k+1)(k+2) > (2k+2)(k+1)

in turn because

2k^2 + 5k + 2 > 2k^2 + 4k + 2 \iff k > 0

During the first part of a​ trip, a canoeist travels 96 miles at a certain speed. the canoeist travels 15 miles on the second pa
blondinia [14]
This problem is a problem using 
d = r * t
First part of the trip
d = 96 miles
r = ??
t = ??

Second part of the trip
d = 15 miles
r = r - 5
t = 4 - t

Solve for r first.
96/r + 15/(r - 5) = 4 hours                multiply through by r and r - 5
96(r - 5) + 15r  = 4*(r - 5)(r)             Remove the brackets on the left
96r - 480 + 15r = 4*r*(r - 5)             Collect like terms on the left.
111r - 480 = 4r(r - 5)                        Remove the brackets on the right.
111r - 480 = 4r^2 - 20r                     Bring the left side over to the right side.
0 = 4r^2 - 20r - 111r + 480               Collect like terms.
0 = 4r^2 - 131r + 480

The only way I could do this was to use the quadratic equation.

\text{x = }\dfrac{ -b \pm \sqrt{b^{2} - 4ac } }{2a}

a = 4

b = - 131

c = 480

\text{x = }\dfrac{ -(-131) \pm \sqrt{(-131)^{2} - 4*4*480 } }{2*4}
\text{x = }\dfrac{ 131 \pm \sqrt{(17161) - 7680 } }{8}
\text{x = }\dfrac{ 131 \pm \sqrt{9481 } }{8}
\text{x = }\dfrac{ 131 \pm 97.37  }{8}

x = (131 + 97.38)/8
x = 28.55
x = (131 - 97.37)/8
x = 4.20

4.2 isn't going to work because the slower speed has to be larger than 5, otherwise you will get a negative speed (as this solution will give), so 4.20 is an extraneous solution.

r = 28.55 for the first  part of the trip and
r = 23.55 for the second part of the trip.

Check.
Let's see if the times add up to 4
d/r = t
96/28.55 = 3.36
15/22.75 = 0.64

The times do = 4, so the rates are correct.

Answers
r1 = 28.55 for the 96 mile trip.
r2 = 23.55 for the 15 mile trip.

How would I put this into a solvable equation, m= ak/n?
12345 [234]

The given equation is

m = ak/n

We want to solve for k

The first step is to multiply both sides of the equation by n. We have

m * n = ak/n * n

mn = ak

The next step is to divide both sides of the equation by a. We have

mn/a = ak/a

mn/a = k

k = mn/a

The correct option is the second one
