Answer:

Yes, Erica is correct.

We divide 1 by 3 as \frac{1}{3} =0.333333...

Now, the quotient is 0.333333...

Clearly, we can see that the 3 is repeating.

Now, the decimal expansion of any rational number is non-terminating repeating if the factors of the denominator is not of the form

2^{m} \times5^{n} .

Clearly, the factor of the denominator, i.e 3 is 3\times1

So, the factors are not of the form 2^{m} \times5^{n} , the decimal expansion of \frac{1}{3} is non-terminating repeating.

Hence, the digit 3 in the quotient is repeating.

What is wrong with the following proof that for every integer n, there is an integer k such that n &lt; k &lt; n + 2? Suppose n
expeople1 [14]

Answer:

c)The proof writer mentally assumed the conclusion. He wrote "suppose n is an arbitrary integer", but was really thinking "suppose n is an arbitrary integer, and suppose that for this n, there exists an integer k that satisfies n < k < n+2." Under those assumptions, it follows indeed that k must be n + 1, which justifies the word "therefore": but of course assuming the conclusion destroyed the validity of the proof.

Step-by-step explanation:

when we claim something as a hypothesis we can only conclude with therefore at the end of the proof. so assuming the conclusion nulify the proof from the beginning

3.4 = -13.6 - 3.4c + 1.7c
3.4 = -13.6 - 1.7c
1.7c = -13.6 - 3.4
1.7c = 17
c = 10
