AB + BC = AC Segment Addition Postulate

(x + 10) + (x + 14) = 22 Substitution

2x + 24 = 22 Simplify (added like terms)

2x = -2 Subtraction Property of Equality

x = -1 Divison Property of Equality

Answer: x = -1

Use induction to prove: For every integer n > 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.
