Complete Question

Let P (n) be the statement that a postage of n cents can be formed using just 4-cent stamps and 7-cent stamps. The parts of this exercise outline a strong induction proof that P (n) is true for n ≥ 18.

Show statements P (18), P (19), P (20), and P (21) are true, completing the basis step of the proof.

Answer:

P(18) is true

P(19) is true

P(20) is true

P(21) is true

Step-by-step explanation:

a. When n = 18

18 cents can be formed using two 7cents and one 4cents

i.e. 2 * 7 + 4 = 18

So, P(18) is true

b. When n = 19

19 cents can be formed using one 7cents and three 4cents

i.e. 1 * 7 + 3 * 4 = 19

So, P(19) is true

c. When n = 20

18 cents can be formed using five 4cents

i.e. 5 * 4 = 20

So, P(20) is true

d. When n = 21

18 cents can be formed using three 7cents

i.e. 3 * 7 = 21

So, P(21) is true

The area of the triangle extension is 12, because the total side length it is on is 18, and the segments to the sides of the triangle are 6 each, meaning 18-12=6, the height of the triangle. The base is given as 4, so 1/2(4x6)=24/2=12.

Add this to the area of the rectangle, 9x18=162, and 162+12=174.

The area is 174.
