\text{Proof by induction:}
\text{Test that the statement holds or n = 1}

LHS = (3 - 2)^{2} = 1
RHS = \frac{6 - 4}{2} = \frac{2}{2} = 1 = LHS
\text{Thus, the statement holds for the base case.}

\text{Assume the statement holds for some arbitrary term, n= k}
1^{2} + 4^{2} + 7^{2} + ... + (3k - 2)^{2} = \frac{k(6k^{2} - 3k - 1)}{2}

\text{Prove it is true for n = k + 1}
RTP: 1^{2} + 4^{2} + 7^{2} + ... + [3(k + 1) - 2]^{2} = \frac{(k + 1)[6(k + 1)^{2} - 3(k + 1) - 1]}{2} = \frac{(k + 1)[6k^{2} + 9k + 2]}{2}

LHS = \underbrace{1^{2} + 4^{2} + 7^{2} + ... + (3k - 2)^{2}}_{\frac{k(6k^{2} - 3k - 1)}{2}} + [3(k + 1) - 2]^{2}
= \frac{k(6k^{2} - 3k - 1)}{2} + [3(k + 1) - 2]^{2}
= \frac{k(6k^{2} - 3k - 1) + 2[3(k + 1) - 2]^{2}}{2}
= \frac{k(6k^{2} - 3k - 1) + 2(3k + 1)^{2}}{2}
= \frac{k(6k^{2} - 3k - 1) + 18k^{2} + 12k + 2}{2}
= \frac{k(6k^{2} - 3k - 1 + 18k + 12) + 2}{2}
= \frac{k(6k^{2} + 15k + 11) + 2}{}
= \frac{(k + 1)[6k^{2} + 9k + 2]}{2}
= \frac{(k + 1)[6(k + 1)^{2} - 3(k + 1) - 1]}{2}
= RHS

Since it is true for n = 1, n = k, and n = k + 1, by the principles of mathematical induction, it is true for all positive values of n.

You are looking for the shaded region that would be contained in both of the inequalities.

You have:
x+y \leq 805x+10y\ \textgreater \ 500

If you graph an shade the correct half-plane for those equations, you will see there is a triangular region on the left side of the first quadrant.

Answer:

-27

Step-by-step explanation:

-3^3  (the number after ^ is the exponent)

-3 x -3 x -3

-3 x -3 = 9 (multiplying two negatives results in a positive)

9 x -3 = -27

jekas [21]

Answer:

68º

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a quadrilateral and all degrees in every quadrilateral have to add up to 360º.  

81º + 135º + 76º = 292º

360º - 292º = 68º

Therefore, x = 68º
