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.

Fiona’s school has three hallways that make up three sides of a triangular building design. In the morning, Fiona walks 90 yards
lilavasa [31]

Answer:

"between 30 yards and 150 yards"

Step-by-step explanation:

Let one side of a triangle be x and another side be y. To find the possible lengths of the third side, it is given by:

<u><em>Possible length of 3rd side would be between "x - y" and "x + y"</em></u>

<u><em /></u>

Here, given x = 90 and y = 60, so the possible length of 3rd side would be:

90 - 60 = 30,

90 + 60 = 150

Hence, in between 30 and 150

Help me. Show work. Show equation

To convert temperatures in degrees Celsius to Fahrenheit multiply by 1.8 and add 32 so the paper has a typo you would multiply 25 x 1.8 = 45 + 32 = 77F so 25 C is 77 F but the way it says it we would all be dead because 25 x 8 = 200 + 32 = 232 F it would be to hot for life. So the correct answer is 77°F Hope this helps! ;D
