Which of the following equations is an example of inverse variation between the variables x and y
1 answer:
Answer:
The correct answer is option B
Step-by-step explanation:
The general form of inverse variation between the variables x and y is as following:
where c is constant
option A : y = x/12 ⇒ x = 12y (wrong option)
option B : y = 12/x ⇒ y * x = 12 (correct option) and c will be equal 12
option C : y = x + 12 ⇒ not similar to the general form (wrong option)
option D : y = 12x (wrong option)
So, the correct option is B

Let
In order to prove this by induction, we first need to prove the base case, i.e. prove that P(1) is true:
So, the base case is ok. Now, we need to assume and prove
.
states that
Since we're assuming , we can substitute the sum of the first n terms with their expression:
Which terminates the proof, since we showed that
