Assume its true for n = k 
then 8 + 16 + 24+...  + 8k = 4k(k + 1)

sum for k+1 terms = 4k(k + 1) + 8(k + 1)
   =   4(k + 1)( (k + 2)
   =  4(k + 1)( k + 1 + 1)

Now this is the same as the formula for k terms with the k being replaced by k + 1 . So if the formula is correct for k terms then its must also be correct for k+1 terms
Also its true for k = 1 because 8 = 4(1)(1 + 1)  so its true for k = 2,3 4 and so
on.  - for all values of k ( n).

This compleres the proof.

It cost marci 33 cents to mail a postcard and 49 cents to mail a letter. she sent either a postcard or a letter to each of 28 pe
Rus_ich [418]

Answer:

24 Letters and 4 Postcards

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to set up a system of equations, since we have two unknown variables. Lets say postcards is the variable "x" and letters is the variable "y".

Our first equation will be the money spent: 0.33x + 0.49y = 13.08, this comes from knowing that it costs 0.33 dollars to mail a postcard and 0.49 dollars to send a letter.

The second equation is the total sent: x + y =28.

Now we need to solve for a single variable, let's do y (or letters). If we subtract y from both sides we get: x = 28 - y.

We can plug that into our first equatino to get: 0.33(28 - y) + 0.49y = 13.08.

If we multiply things out we get: 9.24 - 0.33y + 0.49y = 13.08, and now we have like terms. 9.24 + 0.16y = 13.08.

Subtract 9.24 from both sides to get: 0.16y = 3.84

Divide both sides by 0.16 to get: y = 24.

Now we can plug this into x + y = 28 to see that x= 4.

You could make sure this is correct by solving for x instead of y and do the same process.

Hope this helps.

Find the constant of variation k for the direct variation. 4x = -y
hjlf

Answer:

k = - 4

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation representing direct variation is

y = kx ← k is the constant of variation

Given

4x = - y ( multiply both sides by - 1 )

- 4x = y , that is

y = - 4x ← in standard form

with k = - 4
