Answer with Step-by-step explanation:

1. We are given that an expression n^2+n

We have to prove that this expression is always is even for every integer.

There are two cases

1.n is odd integer

2.n is even integer

1.n is an odd positive integer

n square is also odd integer and n is odd .The sum of two odd integers is always even.

When is negative odd integer then n square is positive odd integer and n is negative odd integer.We know that difference of two odd integers is always even integer.Therefore, given expression is always even .

2.When n is even positive integer

Then n square is always positive even integer and n is positive integer .The sum of two even integers is always even.Hence, given expression is always even when n is even positive integer.

When n is negative even integer

n square is always positive even integer and n is even negative integer .The difference of two even integers is always even integer.

Hence, the given expression is always even for every integer.

2.By mathematical induction

Suppose n=1 then n= substituting in the given expression

1+1=2 =Even integer

Hence, it is true for n=1

Suppose it is true for n=k

then k^2+k is even integer

We shall prove that it is true for n=k+1

(k+1)^1+k+1

=k^1+2k+1+k+1

=k^2+k+2k+2

=Even +2(k+1)[/tex] because k^2+k is even

=Sum is even because sum even numbers is also even

Hence, the given expression is always even for every integer n.

What would you get for 12y=2 1/4 the answer
myrzilka [38]

$y=\frac{3}{16} $

Solution:

Given expression:

$12y=2\frac{1}{4} $

To solve this and find the value of y.

Let us first convert the mixed fraction into improper fraction.

$2\frac{1}{4} =\frac{(2\times4)+1}{4}

     $ =\frac{8+1}{4}

$2\frac{1}{4}  =\frac{9}{4}

Now, substitute this in the given expression.

$12y=\frac{9}{4} $

Divide by 12 on both sides of the expression.

$\frac{12}{12}y=\frac{9}{4\times 12} $

$y=\frac{9}{48} $

To reduce this expression, divide by 3 on both numerator and denominator.

$y=\frac{9\div 3}{48\div 3} $

$y=\frac{3}{16} $

Hence the answer is y=\frac{3}{16}.

Determine if the columns of the matrix form a linearly independent set. Justify your answer. Choose the correct answer below. A.
kondaur [170]

Th matrix is missing. The matrix is :

\begin{bmatrix}1 &-4  &4 \\ -4 &16  & 4 \end{bmatrix}

Solution :

The column of the matrix are \begin{bmatrix}1\\ -4\end{bmatrix} , \begin{bmatrix}-4\\ 16\end{bmatrix}, \begin{bmatrix}4\\ 4\end{bmatrix}

Now each of them are vectors in $IR^2$. But  $IR^2$ has dimensions of 2. But there are 3 column vectors, hence they are linearly dependent.

Therefore, the column of the given matrix does not form the \text{linearly independent set} as the set contains \text{more vectors} than there are entries in each vector.

Therefore, option (D) is correct.

If fg + gh = fh,which of the following statements must be true?
Oksanka [162]
The only safe conclusion is that point G lies on line FH or that point G lies somewhere between line FH. We cannot conclude that point G is the midpoint of line FH eventhough by virtue of definition of midpoint, the given equation is a proof equation. If G were to be midpoint, segment FG must be equal to segment GH in line FH.
