Prove the statement holds for all positive integers: 2 + 4 + 6 + ... + 2n = n² + n

Proving a relation for all natural numbers involves proving it for n = 1 and showing that it holds for n + 1 if it is assumed that it is true for any n.

The relation 2+4+6+...+2n = n^2+n has to be proved.

If n = 1, the right hand side is equal to 2*1 = 2 and the left hand side is equal to 1^1 + 1 = 1 + 1 = 2

Assume that the relation holds for any value of n.

2 + 4 + 6 + ... + 2n + 2(n+1) = n^2 + n + 2(n + 1)

= n^2 + n + 2n + 2

= n^2 + 2n + 1 + n + 1

= (n + 1)^2 + (n + 1)

This shows that the given relation is true for n = 1 and if it is assumed to be true for n it is also true for n + 1.

<span>By mathematical induction the relation is true for any value of n.</span>

What are the vertex and x-intercepts of the graph of the function given below?
Travka [436]
In order to determine the vertex of this, you can complete the square.  To do that, first set the equation equal to 0, then move the -35 over to the other side by adding.  That gives us x^{2} -2x=35.  Now we can complete the square.  Do this by taking half of the linear term, squaring it, and adding it in to both sides.  Our linear term is 2x.  Half of 2 is 1, and 1 squared is 1.  So we add 1 to both sides, creating something that looks like this: x^{2} -2x+1=35+1.  We will do the math on the right and get 36, and the left will be expressed as the perfect square binomial we created by doing this whole process.  (x-1)^2=36.  Now move the 36 over by subtraction and set it back to equal y and your vertex is apparent.  It is (1, -36).  You find the x-intercepts when y = 0.  That means you need to set your original equation equal to zero and factor it.  The easiest, surest way to do this is to use the quadratic formula.  Doing that gives us x values of 7 and -5.  And you're done!

Help me pleaseeeee?!

Answer:

#1: -1.5, -0.5, 1/2, 1.5

#2:  -3, -1, 1.2, 2.3

Step-by-step explanation:

#1

First we have to figure out the correct order before we plot.

Find the biggest number:

looking at the number the biggest would be 1.5

Find the smallest number:

Looking at the number the smallest would be -1.5

Now that we have that we can easily figure out the rest...

(Going from least to greatest; like on a number line)

-1.5, -0.5, 1/2, 1.5 (That is how you will place the first one)

#2

(Use the steps from above to find the answer)

Biggest: 2.3

Smallest: -3

Order: -3, -1, 1.2, 2.3 (Placing on number line use that order)

Hope this helps :)
