Twenty-seven minus 3/2of a number (x) is not more than 36.

27 - (3/2)X = 36

What is the number?

(3/2)X = 27 - 36 = - 9

X = (- 9x2)/3 = -18/3 = -6

Check

36 = 27 - (3/2)X = 27 - (3/2)x(-6) = 27 - (-18/2) = 27 - (-9) = 36

Use mathematical induction to prove that if L is a linear transformation from V to W, then L (α1v1 + α2v2 +· · ·+αnvn)= α1L (v1)

e-lub [12.9K]

Answer:

The proof is shown in the explanation below.

Step-by-step explanation:

Analysis:

The proof by induction focuses on n. In this case, let n = 1, and $L^{1}$ will be a linear operator since $L^{1} = L$

The exercise will show that $L^{n}$ is a linear operator on V and that $L^{n+1}$ is also a linear operator on V. This, follows that:

$L^{n+1} (av) = L(L^{m}(v_{1}+v_{2})\\ = L(L^{m} (v_{1} + L^{m}v_{2})\\ = L(L^{m}v_{1} + L(L^{m}v_{2})\\ = L^{m+1}(v_{1}) + L^{m+1}(v_{2})$

How is the series 5+11+17…+251 represented in summation notation?

NISA [10]

Answer:

$\displaystyle \large{\sum_{n=1}^{42}(6n-1)$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Series 5+11+17+...+251

To find:

Summation notation of the given series

Summation Notation:

$\displaystyle \large{\sum_{k=1}^n a_k}$

Where n is the number of terms and $\displaystyle \large{a_k}$ is general term.

First, determine what kind of series it is, there are two main series that everyone should know:

Arithmetic Series

A series that has common difference.

Geometric Series

A series that has common ratio.

If you notice and keep subtracting the next term with previous term:

11-5 = 6
17-11 = 6

Two common difference, we can in fact say that the series is arithmetic one. Since we know the type of series, we have to find the number of terms.

Now that brings us to arithmetic sequence, we know that first term is 5 and last term is 251, we’ll be finding both general term and number of term using arithmetic sequence:

<u>Arithmetic Sequence</u>

$\displaystyle \large{a_n=a_1+(n-1)d}$

Where $\displaystyle \large{a_n}$ is the nth term, $\displaystyle \large{a_1}$ is the first term and $\displaystyle \large{d}$ is the common difference:
