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 set of points that represents a function is given by:

A {(2, 1), (7, 9), (3, 12), (4, 10)}.

<h3>When does a relation represents a function?</h3>

A set, or a relation, represents a function when <u>each value of x is mapped to only one value of y</u>.

In this problem, we have that option A represents a function, as:

  • In option B, x = 2 and x = -2 are mapped to two values.
  • In option C, x = 4 is mapped to four values.
  • In option D, both x = 1 and x = 2 are mapped to two values.

Hence the set of points that represents a function is given by:

A {(2, 1), (7, 9), (3, 12), (4, 10)}.

You are riding the swings at a fair. What are the coordinates of your location after a rotation of 180°?
nekit [7.7K]

Answer:

(6, -3)

Step-by-step explanation:

The actual coordinates are x = -6 and y = 3

If we rotate 180 degrees and the center of rotation is at (0,0), all we need to do is invert the signal of each axis, that is, we invert the sign of the original x-coordinate and invert the signal of the original y-coordinate.

So the final x-coordinate is - (-6) = 6

And the final y-coordinate is - (3) = -3

So the coordinates will be (6, -3).
