Base case: if <em>n</em> = 1, then
1² - 1 = 0
which is even.
Induction hypothesis: assume the statement is true for <em>n</em> = <em>k</em>, namely that <em>k</em> ² - <em>k</em> is even. This means that <em>k</em> ² - <em>k</em> = 2<em>m</em> for some integer <em>m</em>.
Induction step: show that the assumption implies (<em>k</em> + 1)² - (<em>k</em> + 1) is also even. We have
(<em>k</em> + 1)² - (<em>k</em> + 1) = <em>k</em> ² + 2<em>k</em> + 1 - <em>k</em> - 1
… = (<em>k</em> ² - <em>k</em>) + 2<em>k</em>
… = 2<em>m</em> + 2<em>k</em>
… = 2 (<em>m</em> + <em>k</em>)
which is clearly even. QED
Answer:
Compare the cost for the each (smallest) unit.
Step-by-step explanation:
You can calculate the cost per unit
For example :
20 ounces of water of brand A cost 1.50
30 ounces of water of brand A cost 2
20 ounces of water cost 1.50/20 = 0.075 dollar per ounce
30 ounces of water cost 2/30 = 0.0677 dollar per ounce
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Exponential function is:</u>
<u>If we consider the time difference in years as x and the initial population as a, then we get:</u>
<u>Find the value of b:</u>
- b¹⁰ = 675647/617594
- b¹⁰ = 1.09399864636
- b = 1.09399864636^(1/10)
- b = 1.009 (rounded)
<u>The equation we got is:</u>
Here we have y- population after x years since 2010, x - the number of years since 2010 and 1.009 is the population growth rate.
The greatest common factor of 645 and 570 would be <u>35</u>.
