Answer : HF ≈ 23.2 ft
Explanation :
Using the sine ratio in the right triangle.
sin75° = = =
Multiply both sides by 24
24 × sin75° = HF , thus
HF ≈ 23.2 ft ( to the nearest tenth )
Proving a relation for all natural numbers involves proving it for n = 1 and showing that it holds for n + 1 if it is assumed that it is true for any n.
The relation 2+4+6+...+2n = n^2+n has to be proved.
If n = 1, the right hand side is equal to 2*1 = 2 and the left hand side is equal to 1^1 + 1 = 1 + 1 = 2
Assume that the relation holds for any value of n.
2 + 4 + 6 + ... + 2n + 2(n+1) = n^2 + n + 2(n + 1)
= n^2 + n + 2n + 2
= n^2 + 2n + 1 + n + 1
= (n + 1)^2 + (n + 1)
This shows that the given relation is true for n = 1 and if it is assumed to be true for n it is also true for n + 1.
<span>By mathematical induction the relation is true for any value of n.</span>
Answer:
At a combined speed of 6 in/min, it takes us 24 mins to clean the wall
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the question did not provide the speed with which each student cleans, we can make assumptions. This is so that we can solve the question before us
Assuming student 1 cleans at a speed of 2 inches per minute, student 2 cleans at a speed of 2½ inches per minute & student 3 cleans at a speed of 1½ inches per minute.
Let's list the parameters we have:
Height of wall (h) = 12 ft, Speed (student 1) = 2 in/min, Speed (student 2) = 2½ in/min, Speed (student 3) = 1½ in/min
Speed of cleaning wall = Height of wall ÷ Time to clean wall
Time to clean wall (t) = Height of wall ÷ Speed of cleaning wall
since students 1, 2 and 3 are working together, we will add their speed together; v = (2 + 2½ + 1½) = 6 in/min
1 ft = 12 in
Time (t) = h ÷ v = (12 * 12) ÷ 6 = 144 ÷ 6
Time (t) = 24 mins
