Answer:

Option B). 10 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Distance between center and the focus of an ellipse is given by the formula,

c² = a² - b²

where, a = length of the major axis

b = length of the minor axis

and c = distance between focus and center

If c = 6 cm, b = 8 cm,

6² = a² - 8²

a² = 6² + 8²

a² = 36 + 64

a² = 100

a = 10 cm

Therefore, length of the major axis is 10 cm.

Option (B) is the answer.

To find the constant of proportionality:

⇒ must define constant of proportionality

⇒ Constant of Proportionality: ratio of two proportional values at a

constant value

⇒ (in this case) two proportional values are x and y

The ratio between x and y is equal to

$\frac{y}{x} =\frac{66}{1.2}=55$

Answer: 55 or Choice 1

Hope that helps!

Prove the following by induction. In each case, n is apositive integer. 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.

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

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.
