Explain how an estimate help you to place the decimal point when multiplying 3.9x5.3?

1 answer:

6 0

You can estimate 3.9 times 5.3 to 4 times 5 which is 20
so if the answer is around 20, you know that you will have exactly 2 digits before the decimal place

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

Oliga [24]

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 n = k ; that

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

We want to show if this is true, then the equality also holds for n = k + 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

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