Base case: if <em>n</em> = 1, then
1² - 1 = 0
which is even.
Induction hypothesis: assume the statement is true for <em>n</em> = <em>k</em>, namely that <em>k</em> ² - <em>k</em> is even. This means that <em>k</em> ² - <em>k</em> = 2<em>m</em> for some integer <em>m</em>.
Induction step: show that the assumption implies (<em>k</em> + 1)² - (<em>k</em> + 1) is also even. We have
(<em>k</em> + 1)² - (<em>k</em> + 1) = <em>k</em> ² + 2<em>k</em> + 1 - <em>k</em> - 1
… = (<em>k</em> ² - <em>k</em>) + 2<em>k</em>
… = 2<em>m</em> + 2<em>k</em>
… = 2 (<em>m</em> + <em>k</em>)
which is clearly even. QED
I'm too late but here ya go anyway :)
x = 180 - (31 + 40) is the answer.
Answer:
5
Step-by-step explanation:
8*5=40 and then 20 short answer that are 3 each. that makes up the rest of the 60 points
Answer:
See step by step answer
Step-by-step explanation:
the factors are (x+22)(x-10)=0
so x = -22 and 10, but a dimension cannot be negative, so the answer for x is 10 and then if you plug it back in the dimensions are 4 cm, 11 cm and 21 cm.
When you multiply 4 * 11 * 21 = 924, so you know it's correct.
