Answer:

C.64

Step-by-step explanation:

The first step is to figure out what the sequence is, the first step is 2, 4 the only ways for 2 to get to 4 would be +2 or *2 so we will look at the next step, 4 to 8. The only ways for 4 to get to 8 is +4 or *2, since these both have *2 in common we will check that with all of the terms

2, 4, 8, 16, 32

2 (*2) = 4 (*2) = 8 (*2) = 16 (*2) 32

Since the equation is working we are going to multiply 32 by 2 to get the 6th term

32 (*2) = 64

Answer:64

Step-by-step explanation:

2+2=4

4+4=8

8+8=16

16+16=32

32+32=64

Prove or disprove (from i=0 to n) sum([2i]^4) <= (4n)^4. If true use induction, else give the smallest value of n that it doe

ddd [48]

Answer:

The statement is true for every n between 0 and 77 and it is false for $n\geq 78$

Step-by-step explanation:

First, observe that, for n=0 and n=1 the statement is true:

For n=0: $\sum^{n}_{i=0} (2i)^4=0 \leq 0=(4n)^4$

For n=1: $\sum^{n}_{i=0} (2i)^4=16 \leq 256=(4n)^4$

From this point we will assume that $n\geq 2$

As we can see, $\sum^{n}_{i=0} (2i)^4=\sum^{n}_{i=0} 16i^4=16\sum^{n}_{i=0} i^4$ and $(4n)^4=256n^4$ . Then,

$\sum^{n}_{i=0} (2i)^4 \leq(4n)^4 \iff \sum^{n}_{i=0} i^4 \leq 16n^4$

Now, we will use the formula for the sum of the first 4th powers:

$\sum^{n}_{i=0} i^4=\frac{n^5}{5} +\frac{n^4}{2} +\frac{n^3}{3}-\frac{n}{30}=\frac{6n^5+15n^4+10n^3-n}{30}$

Therefore:

$\sum^{n}_{i=0} i^4 \leq 16n^4 \iff \frac{6n^5+15n^4+10n^3-n}{30} \leq 16n^4 \\\\ \iff 6n^5+10n^3-n \leq 465n^4 \iff 465n^4-6n^5-10n^3+n\geq 0$

and, because $n \geq 0$ ,

$465n^4-6n^5-10n^3+n\geq 0 \iff n(465n^3-6n^4-10n^2+1)\geq 0 \\\iff 465n^3-6n^4-10n^2+1\geq 0 \iff 465n^3-6n^4-10n^2\geq -1\\\iff n^2(465n-6n^2-10)\geq -1$
