-12 is greater than or equal to 24x solve

Well this depends a lot about what your variable represents in this problem since if you have like -12 is greater than 24(-5). So it really just depends on your variable but if it's just -12 and 24 then 24 is greater than -12. So -12 is less than 24.

A puppy and kitten are 180 meters apart when they see each other. The puppy can run at a speed of 25 meters per second, while th

Gnom [1K]

It seems it should be the other way... . How soon will the puppy catch up with the kitten.

The way you have it the kitten will never catch the pup. There is already 180m between them so, the distance will only increase because the puppy runs faster than the cat.

If the puppy runs after the cat, will eventually catch up with it and can be calculated. Not the other way around.

If the pup runs after the cat, the distance between them will decrease and the pup will catch the cat.

RT = D kitten

RT = D+180 puppy

20T = D

25T = D + 180

Substitution

25T = 20T +180

5T = 180

T = 36s

Prove the following by induction. In each case, n is apositive integer.<br> 2^n ≤ 2^n+1 - 2^n-1 -1.

frutty [35]

<h2>Answer with explanation:</h2>

We are asked to prove by the method of mathematical induction that:

$2^n\leq 2^{n+1}-2^{n-1}-1$

where n is a positive integer.

Let us take n=1

then we have:

$2^1\leq 2^{1+1}-2^{1-1}-1\\\\i.e.\\\\2\leq 2^2-2^{0}-1\\\\i.e.\\2\leq 4-1-1\\\\i.e.\\\\2\leq 4-2\\\\i.e.\\\\2\leq 2$

Hence, the result is true for n=1.

Let us assume that the result is true for n=k

i.e.

$2^k\leq 2^{k+1}-2^{k-1}-1$

Now, we have to prove the result for n=k+1

i.e.

<u>To prove:</u> $2^{k+1}\leq 2^{(k+1)+1}-2^{(k+1)-1}-1$

Let us take n=k+1

Hence, we have:

$2^{k+1}=2^k\cdot 2\\\\i.e.\\\\2^{k+1}\leq 2\cdot (2^{k+1}-2^{k-1}-1)$

( Since, the result was true for n=k )

Hence, we have:

$2^{k+1}\leq 2^{k+1}\cdot 2-2^{k-1}\cdot 2-2\cdot 1\\\\i.e.\\\\2^{k+1}\leq 2^{(k+1)+1}-2^{k-1+1}-2\\\\i.e.\\\\2^{k+1}\leq 2^{(k+1)+1}-2^{(k+1)-1}-2$

Also, we know that:

$-2$

(

Since, for n=k+1 being a positive integer we have:

$2^{(k+1)+1}-2^{(k+1)-1}>0$ )

Hence, we have finally,

$2^{k+1}\leq 2^{(k+1)+1}-2^{(k+1)-1}-1$

Hence, the result holds true for n=k+1

Hence, we may infer that the result is true for all n belonging to positive integer.

i.e.

$2^n\leq 2^{n+1}-2^{n-1}-1$ where n is a positive integer.

The length of time a person takes to decide which shoes to purchase is normally distributed with a mean of 8.54 minutes and a st

Minchanka [31]

Answer:

0.0323 = 3.23%. Is unusual

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the normal distribution we can find z value with the mean and standard deviation as follows. x is the value we want to know its probability

z = (x - mean)/standard deviation

z = (5-8.54)/1.91

z = -1.85

Using z tables for normal distribution, for z = 1.85, we have an area under the curve of 0.9677. Since we want to know the probability for 5 minutes or less, we have to substract from

p = 1- 0.9677

p = 0.0323

An event with a probability less than 5% is considered unusual.
