You can write a proportion because the two triangles are similar

\frac{x}{x-2} = \frac{x + x + 5}{x + 1 + x - 2} (the second fraction is longer because I added the full lengths of the larger triangle)  cross multiply to get (x)(x + 1 + x - 2) = (x - 2)(x + x + 5)

which simplifies to (x)(2x - 1) = (x - 2)(2x + 5)

then 2x² - x = 2x² + 5x -4x - 10

then 2x² - x = 2x² + x - 10

then 2x² = 2x² + 2x - 10

subtract 2x² from both sides to get 0 = 2x - 10

add 10 to both sides to get 10 = 2x

divide both sides by 2 to get 5 = x

Prove usin's Mathematical induction 2^n ≤(n+1)!, for n≥0​
Westkost [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

2^0 is less than or equal to 1!, because 1<= 1

if 2^n <= (n+1)!, we wish to show that 2^(n+1) <= (n+2)!, since

(n+2)! = (n+1)! * (n+2), and (n+1)!>= 2^n, then we want to prove that n+2<=2, which is always true for n>=0
