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

Find the volume of the solid generated by revolving the region bounded by
Rama09 [41]

Answer:

V =\dfrac{25\pi}{\sqrt{2}}

Step-by-step explanation:

given,

y=5√sinx

Volume of the solid by revolving

V = \int_a^b(\pi y^2)dx

a and b are the limits of the integrals

now,

V = \int_a^b(\pi (5\sqrt{sinx})^2)dx

V =25\pi \int_{\pi/4}^{\pi/2}sinxdx

\int sin x = - cos x

V =25\pi [-cos x]_{\pi/4}^{\pi/2}

V =25\pi [-cos (\pi/2)+cos(\pi/4)]

V =25\pi [0+\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{2}}]

V =\dfrac{25\pi}{\sqrt{2}}

volume of the solid generated is equal to V =\dfrac{25\pi}{\sqrt{2}}
