Answer:

The answer is True

Step-by-step explanation:

A <em>mathematical induction</em> consists in only 2 steps:  

<u>First step</u>: Show the proposition is true for the first one valid integer number.

<u>Second step</u>: Show that if any one is true then the next one is true  

Finally, if first step and second step are true, then the complete proposition is true.

So, given 2*n^3+3*n^2+n

First step: using and replacing n=2 (the first valid integer number >1)

2*(2)^3 +3*(2)^2+2=30

\frac{30}{6} =5

As the result is an integer number, so the first step is true.

Second step: using any next number, n+1, let it replace

2*(n+1)^3+3*(n+1)^2+(n+1)\\2*(n^3+3*n^2+3*n+1)+3*(n^2+2*n+1)^2+(n+1)\\2*n^3+6*n^2+6*n+2+3*n^2+6*n+3+n+1\\(2*n^3+3*n^2+n)+(6*n^2+12*n+6)

As the First step is true, we know that

2*n^3+3*n^2+n=6*k,

So let it replace in the previous expression

6*k+6*(n^2+2*n+1)\\6*[k+(n^2+2*n+1)]

Finally

\frac{6*[k+(n^2+2*n+1)]}{6} =k+(n^2+2*n+1)

where the last expression is an integer number

So the second step is true, and the complete proposition is True

The base of an isosceles tiangle has a length of 25. what can you say about the lengths of the legs?
lidiya [134]
The sum of the lengths of any two sides of a triangle must be greater than the length of the third side (or else, it can't be a closed polygon). Since we know that the two sides in question are both of the same length in this case (since the triangle isosceles), their individual lengths must be greater than 25/2 = 12.5.

a CD usally sells for 14.00 if the CD is 30% off and sales tax7% whats the total price of the price of the CD including tax
Ostrovityanka [42]
First you will get the sale price.

you need to convert the percentage to a decimal and to do that you move the decimal over twice:

30% = .30

then multiply the CD price by the decimal

$14.00 X .30 = $4.20

then you have the sales price but you need to find the tax price
to do that you move the decimal of the tax percentage over twice

7% = .07%

then multiply by the price after the sale included

.07 X $4.20 = $0.29

you have how much the tax would be
to get the total price you add the tax to the sales price

$0.29 + $4.20 = $4.42

the price you would be paying for this CD including tax is $4.42
