AB + BC = AC                 <em>Segment Addition Postulate</em>

(x + 10) + (x + 14) = 22     <em>Substitution</em>

2x + 24 = 22                   <em>Simplify (added like terms)</em>

2x = -2                            <em>Subtraction Property of Equality</em>

x = -1                               <em>Divison Property of Equality</em>

Answer: x = -1

Use induction to prove: For every integer n &gt; 1, the number n5 - n is a multiple of 5.
nignag [31]

Answer:

we need to prove : for every integer n>1, the number n^{5}-n is a multiple of 5.

1) check divisibility for n=1, f(1)=(1)^{5}-1=0  (divisible)

2) Assume that f(k) is divisible by 5, f(k)=(k)^{5}-k

3) Induction,

f(k+1)=(k+1)^{5}-(k+1)

=(k^{5}+5k^{4}+10k^{3}+10k^{2}+5k+1)-k-1

=k^{5}+5k^{4}+10k^{3}+10k^{2}+4k

Now, f(k+1)-f(k)

f(k+1)-f(k)=k^{5}+5k^{4}+10k^{3}+10k^{2}+4k-(k^{5}-k)

f(k+1)-f(k)=k^{5}+5k^{4}+10k^{3}+10k^{2}+4k-k^{5}+k

f(k+1)-f(k)=5k^{4}+10k^{3}+10k^{2}+5k

Take out the common factor,

f(k+1)-f(k)=5(k^{4}+2k^{3}+2k^{2}+k)      (divisible by 5)

add both the sides by f(k)

f(k+1)=f(k)+5(k^{4}+2k^{3}+2k^{2}+k)

We have proved that difference between f(k+1) and f(k) is divisible by 5.

so, our assumption in step 2 is correct.

Since f(k) is divisible by 5, then f(k+1) must be divisible by 5 since we are taking the sum of 2 terms that are divisible by 5.

Therefore, for every integer n>1, the number n^{5}-n is a multiple of 5.
