Hello,

y=k/x
if x=8 then y=3 ==>3=k/8==>k=3*8==>k=24

if x=6 then y=24/6=4.

What is the next number in the sequence? 3, 6, 12, , ... place an x by the pattern of the sequence. add 2 subtract 2 times 2?

ch4aika [34]

3,6,12...

this is a geometric sequence with a common ratio of 2. That means u multiply each term by 2 to find the next term.

start with 3
3 * 2 = 6
6 * 2 = 12
12 * 2 = 24...this would be ur next term

so ur answer is : multiply by 2

Let n be a natural number. Show that 3 | n3 −n

Vladimir [108]

Let $n=1$ . Then $n^3-n=1^3-1=0$ . By convention, every non-zero integer $n$ divides 0, so $3\vert n^3-n$ .

Suppose this relation holds for $n=k$ , i.e. $3\vert k^3-k$ . We then hope to show it must also hold for $n=k+1$ .

You have

$(k+1)^3-(k+1)=(k^3+3k^2+3k+1)-(k+1)=(k^3-k)+3(k^2+k)$

We assumed that $3\vert k^3-k$ , and it's clear that $3\vert 3(k^2+k)$ because $3(k^2+k)$ is a multiple of 3. This means the remainder upon divides $(k+1)^3-(k+1)$ must be 0, and therefore the relation holds for $n=k+1$ . This proves the statement.
