You can try to show this by induction:
• According to the given closed form, we have
, which agrees with the initial value <em>S</em>₁ = 1.
• Assume the closed form is correct for all <em>n</em> up to <em>n</em> = <em>k</em>. In particular, we assume

and

We want to then use this assumption to show the closed form is correct for <em>n</em> = <em>k</em> + 1, or

From the given recurrence, we know

so that






which is what we needed. QED
Answer:
a
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
Thus the last row has 119 seats.
The total number of seats in 24 rows = 1476
Step-by-step explanation:
The number of seats in each row make an arithmetic series. We will use arithmetic equation to find the number of seats in last row:
An = a1+ (n-1)d
An = 4+(24-1)5
An = 4 + (23)(5)
An = 4 + 115
An = 119
Thus the last row has 119 seats.
Now to find the sum of seats we will apply the formula:
Sn = n(a1 + an)/2
Sn = 24(4+119)/2
Sn = 24(123) /2
Sn = 1476 .....
The total number of seats in 24 rows = 1476....
Answer:
Distribute, then combine like terms, subtract 10 from both sides of the equation, simplify, divide both sides of the equation by the same term, and simplify to get your solution.
Step-by-step explanation:
1.) Distribute
6−2(4−5)=40
6−8+10=40
2.) Combine like terms
6a-8a+10=40
-2a+10=40
3.) Subtract 10 from both sides of the equation
-2a+10=40
-2a+10-10=40-10
4.) Simplify
subtract the numbers
-2a+10-10=40-10
-2a=40-10
subtract the numbers
-2a=40-10
-2a=30
-2a=30
5.) Divide both sides of the equation by the same term
-2a=30

6.) Simplify
cancel terms that are in both the numerator or denominator

a=
Divide the numbers
a=
a=-15
a=-15
7.) Solution
a=-15
Answer:
B) -6
Step-by-step explanation:
Placing a minus sign outside absolute value bars gives you a negative result For example, –|6| = –6, and –|–6| = –6.
