area = 28 cm²

the area of a trapezoid = $\frac{h}{2}$ ( a + b )

where h is the height and a, b the bases

here h = 4, a = 9 and b = 5

area = $\frac{4}{2}$ ( 9 + 5 ) = 2( 14 ) = 28 cm²

To find the area of a trapezoid, add the 2 bases together, divide that by 2, then multiply that by the height:

9 +5 = 14, 14/2 = 7, 7 *4 = 28

The area is 28 square cm.

Prove the following by induction. In each case, n is apositive integer.<br> 2^n ≤ 2^n+1 - 2^n-1 -1.

frutty [35]

<h2>Answer with explanation:</h2>

We are asked to prove by the method of mathematical induction that:

$2^n\leq 2^{n+1}-2^{n-1}-1$

where n is a positive integer.

Let us take n=1

then we have:

$2^1\leq 2^{1+1}-2^{1-1}-1\\\\i.e.\\\\2\leq 2^2-2^{0}-1\\\\i.e.\\2\leq 4-1-1\\\\i.e.\\\\2\leq 4-2\\\\i.e.\\\\2\leq 2$

Hence, the result is true for n=1.

Let us assume that the result is true for n=k

i.e.

$2^k\leq 2^{k+1}-2^{k-1}-1$

Now, we have to prove the result for n=k+1

i.e.

<u>To prove:</u> $2^{k+1}\leq 2^{(k+1)+1}-2^{(k+1)-1}-1$

Let us take n=k+1

Hence, we have:

$2^{k+1}=2^k\cdot 2\\\\i.e.\\\\2^{k+1}\leq 2\cdot (2^{k+1}-2^{k-1}-1)$

( Since, the result was true for n=k )

Hence, we have:

$2^{k+1}\leq 2^{k+1}\cdot 2-2^{k-1}\cdot 2-2\cdot 1\\\\i.e.\\\\2^{k+1}\leq 2^{(k+1)+1}-2^{k-1+1}-2\\\\i.e.\\\\2^{k+1}\leq 2^{(k+1)+1}-2^{(k+1)-1}-2$

Also, we know that:

$-2$

(

Since, for n=k+1 being a positive integer we have:

$2^{(k+1)+1}-2^{(k+1)-1}>0$ )

Hence, we have finally,

$2^{k+1}\leq 2^{(k+1)+1}-2^{(k+1)-1}-1$

Hence, the result holds true for n=k+1

Hence, we may infer that the result is true for all n belonging to positive integer.

i.e.

$2^n\leq 2^{n+1}-2^{n-1}-1$ where n is a positive integer.

10. Petrolyn motor oil is a combination of natural oil and synthetic oil. It contains 3 liters of natural oil for every 4

jeyben [28]

you have the ratio of natural:synthetic so;

3:4

3+4=7

357/7=51

3*51:4°51

153:204

therefore, it'd be 204 litres of synthetic oil!!

i hope this helps you!!

How are the functions f(x)=16^x and g(x)=16^(1/2)x related? The output values of g(x) are one-half the output values of f(x) for

Goshia [24]

F(x) =16ˣ and g(x) = 16⁽ˣ/₂⁾

Since 16 = 2⁴, then we can write:

f(x) =2⁽⁴ˣ⁾ and g(x) = 2⁽⁴ˣ/₂⁾ = 2²ˣ

for x = 1 f(x) = 2⁴ = 16
for x = 1 g(x) = 2² = 4
(√16 = 4)

for x = 2 f(x) = 2⁸ = 256
for x = 2 g(x) = 2⁴ =16
(√256) = 16

for x = 3 f(x) = 2¹² = 4096
for x = 1 g(x) = 2⁶ = 64
(√4096 = 64)

We notice that:
The output values of g(x) are the square root of the output values of f(x) for the same value of x.
