Use mathematical induction to prove the statement is true for all positive integers n, or show why it is false:

kondaur [170]

$\text{Proof by induction:}$
$\text{Test that the statement holds or n = 1}$

$LHS = (3 - 2)^{2} = 1$
$RHS = \frac{6 - 4}{2} = \frac{2}{2} = 1 = LHS$
$\text{Thus, the statement holds for the base case.}$

$\text{Assume the statement holds for some arbitrary term, n= k}$
$1^{2} + 4^{2} + 7^{2} + ... + (3k - 2)^{2} = \frac{k(6k^{2} - 3k - 1)}{2}$

$\text{Prove it is true for n = k + 1}$
$RTP: 1^{2} + 4^{2} + 7^{2} + ... + [3(k + 1) - 2]^{2} = \frac{(k + 1)[6(k + 1)^{2} - 3(k + 1) - 1]}{2} = \frac{(k + 1)[6k^{2} + 9k + 2]}{2}$

$LHS = \underbrace{1^{2} + 4^{2} + 7^{2} + ... + (3k - 2)^{2}}_{\frac{k(6k^{2} - 3k - 1)}{2}} + [3(k + 1) - 2]^{2}$
$= \frac{k(6k^{2} - 3k - 1)}{2} + [3(k + 1) - 2]^{2}$
$= \frac{k(6k^{2} - 3k - 1) + 2[3(k + 1) - 2]^{2}}{2}$
$= \frac{k(6k^{2} - 3k - 1) + 2(3k + 1)^{2}}{2}$
$= \frac{k(6k^{2} - 3k - 1) + 18k^{2} + 12k + 2}{2}$
$= \frac{k(6k^{2} - 3k - 1 + 18k + 12) + 2}{2}$
$= \frac{k(6k^{2} + 15k + 11) + 2}{}$
$= \frac{(k + 1)[6k^{2} + 9k + 2]}{2}$
$= \frac{(k + 1)[6(k + 1)^{2} - 3(k + 1) - 1]}{2}$
$= RHS$

Since it is true for n = 1, n = k, and n = k + 1, by the principles of mathematical induction, it is true for all positive values of n.

Robert has 60 feet of fence to make a dog pen. He will use the house for one side of the pen, as shown above. What dimensions wi

irinina [24]

The formula for an area of a regular parallelogram is:

A = l * w

Where,

l = length

w = width

We are given that the total measurement of fence is only 60 feet and one side of the house is used as one side of the pen. Therefore,

l + 2 w = 60

<span>or simplifying to make an explicit expression for one variable, say l:</span>

l = 60 – 2 w

<span>Substituting to the 1st equation:</span>

A = (60 – 2 w) * w

A = 60 w – 2 w^2

<span>The maxima are obtained by getting the 1st derivative then equating dA/dw = 0:</span>

dA/dw = 60 – 4 w

60 – 4 w = 0

4 w = 60

w = 15

Since l = 60 - 2w

l = 60 – 30

l = 30

<span>Therefore the dimension that will make the largest pen is 15 ft by 30 ft.</span>
