The incorrect step in the induction that all people in Canada are the same height is; Step 9

<h3>How to prove Mathematical Induction?</h3>

The principle of mathematical induction as follows:

For example, we have a set of natural numbers. Now, suppose that 1 is in the set. Now, we assume that anytime n is in the set, n + 1 is also in the set. Therefore we can say that every natural number is in the set.

The wrong step in the given mathematical Induction is Step 9. This is because;

We might not be to see anyone else in the arbitrary group G other than groups P or Q!

Recall that G is a group of k + 1 people. Thus, provided that k > 1, k + 1 > 2 and that a third person R in G does not exist, then the rest of the proof will work.

The steps above proves that;

S(k) = S(k + 1), for every k > 1.

Thus, we can also say that if S(2) is true, then it equally means S(3) is true and so on till infinity.

From our induction process written so far, we have see that S(1) was true. However, our induction step in the question does not show us that that S(1) = S(2) = true.

So: Thus, from the induction I have done It shows that S(1) not imply S(2) and as a result the proof is fallacious.

Lines b and c are parallel what is the measure of angle 6?
elena-s [515]

Answer:

54 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

If these two lines are parallel, than angles 1 and 7 are supplementary.

13x+9+5x+9=180

18x+18=180

x+1=10

x=9

Angle 6 and 7 are vertical angles, so they are equal. Therefore, angle 6 is:

5x+9=5(9)+9=54

What percentage is 15 out of 17?
Ket [755]
88.23%

Simply plug 15/17 into you calculator 

and it will give you a decimal, in this case it should be .88235294...

simply move the decimal back to placements and you should have

88.235294... thats still a lot of numbers so just reduce it to 2 places after the decimal and add a percent sign

88.23%

and your done :) this works for any similar problems

What is the value of x in the equation 4(2x + 10) = 0? (1 point)
miskamm [114]

Answer:

x = -5

Explanation:

4(2x + 10) = 0

[ Simplify both sides of the equation ]

4(2x + 10) = 0

(4)(2x) + (4)(10) = 0 [Distribute]

8x + 40 = 0

[ Subtract 40 from both sides ]

8x + 40 − 40 = 0 − 40

8x = −40

[ Divide both sides by 8 ]

8x  / 8 = −40 / 8

x = -5
