°° Let's see -

Basically, you divide the number of miles Chad drove by the number of hours it took. Then, it gives you the number of miles Chad drove in one hour. Let's try it!

168 ÷ 3 = 56

You can now see that Chad drove 56 miles in one hour.

Take the 168miles divided by the 3 hours (168/3) to get 56. Chad drove 56 miles

Prove the following by induction. In each case, n is apositive integer.<br> 2^n ≤ 2^n+1 - 2^n-1 -1.

frutty [35]

<h2>Answer with explanation:</h2>

We are asked to prove by the method of mathematical induction that:

$2^n\leq 2^{n+1}-2^{n-1}-1$

where n is a positive integer.

Let us take n=1

then we have:

$2^1\leq 2^{1+1}-2^{1-1}-1\\\\i.e.\\\\2\leq 2^2-2^{0}-1\\\\i.e.\\2\leq 4-1-1\\\\i.e.\\\\2\leq 4-2\\\\i.e.\\\\2\leq 2$

Hence, the result is true for n=1.

Let us assume that the result is true for n=k

i.e.

$2^k\leq 2^{k+1}-2^{k-1}-1$

Now, we have to prove the result for n=k+1

i.e.

<u>To prove:</u> $2^{k+1}\leq 2^{(k+1)+1}-2^{(k+1)-1}-1$

Let us take n=k+1

Hence, we have:

$2^{k+1}=2^k\cdot 2\\\\i.e.\\\\2^{k+1}\leq 2\cdot (2^{k+1}-2^{k-1}-1)$

( Since, the result was true for n=k )

Hence, we have:

$2^{k+1}\leq 2^{k+1}\cdot 2-2^{k-1}\cdot 2-2\cdot 1\\\\i.e.\\\\2^{k+1}\leq 2^{(k+1)+1}-2^{k-1+1}-2\\\\i.e.\\\\2^{k+1}\leq 2^{(k+1)+1}-2^{(k+1)-1}-2$

Also, we know that:

$-2$

(

Since, for n=k+1 being a positive integer we have:

$2^{(k+1)+1}-2^{(k+1)-1}>0$ )

Hence, we have finally,

$2^{k+1}\leq 2^{(k+1)+1}-2^{(k+1)-1}-1$

Hence, the result holds true for n=k+1

Hence, we may infer that the result is true for all n belonging to positive integer.

i.e.

$2^n\leq 2^{n+1}-2^{n-1}-1$ where n is a positive integer.

The line tangent to the graph of g(x) = x^{3}-4x+1 at the point (2, 1) is given by the formula

Usimov [2.4K]

well, about A and D, I just plugged the values on the slope formula of

$\bf \begin{array}{llll} g(x)=x^3-4x+1\\ L(x) = 8(x-2)+1 \end{array} \qquad \begin{cases} x_1=1.9\\ x_2=2.1 \end{cases}\implies \cfrac{f(b)-f(a)}{b-a}$

for A the values are 8.01 and 8.0, so indeed those "slopes" are close. $\textit{\huge \checkmark}$

for D the values are -2.25 and 8.0, so no dice on that one.

for B, let's check the y-intercept for g(x), by setting x = 0, we end up g(0) = 0³-4(0)+1, which gives us g(0) = 1.

checking L(x) y-intercept, well, L(x) is in slope-intercept form, thus the +1 sticking out on the far right is the y-intercept, so, dice. $\textit{\huge \checkmark}$

for C, well, the slope if L(x) is 8, since it's in slope-intercept form, the derivative of g(x) is g'(x) = 3x² - 4, and thus g'(0) = -4, so no dice.

for E, do they intercept at (2,1)? well, come on now, L(x) is a tangent line to g(x), so that's a must for a tangent. $\textit{\huge \checkmark}$

for F, we know the slope of the line L(x) is 8, is g'(2) = 8? let's check

recall that g'(x) = 3x² - 4, so g'(2) = 3(2)² - 4, meaning g'(2) = 8, so, dice. $\textit{\huge \checkmark}$

Q: In an examination 14% of the students failed and 559 students passed. Find

topjm [15]

100% - 14% = 86%
86% of what gives you 559
559 * 100 = 55,900/86 = 650
650 students in total
650 - 559 = 91
Solution: 91 students failed
