Answer:

-9 is your answer for b.

Step-by-step explanation:

Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. Also note the rule that if you have a positive sign & a negative sign next to each other, the resulting sign would be negative:

b + (-17) = -26

b - 17 = -26

Isolate the variable (b). Add 17 to both sides:

b - 17 (+17) = -26 (+17)

b = -26 + 17

Simplify:

b = -26  + 17

b = -9

-9 is your answer for b.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Remember the rules:

Addition sign + Positive number = Add (Ex: 7 + 7 = 14)

Addition sign + Negative number = Subtract (Ex: 7 + (-7) = 7 - 7 = 0)

Subtraction sign + Positive number = Subtract (Ex: -3 +  4 = 4 - 3 = 1)

Subtraction sign + Subtraction sign = Add (Ex: 5 - (-5) = 5 + 5 = 10)

Use induction to prove: For every integer n > 1, the number n5 - n is a multiple of 5.
nignag [31]

Answer:

we need to prove : for every integer n>1, the number n^{5}-n is a multiple of 5.

1) check divisibility for n=1, f(1)=(1)^{5}-1=0  (divisible)

2) Assume that f(k) is divisible by 5, f(k)=(k)^{5}-k

3) Induction,

f(k+1)=(k+1)^{5}-(k+1)

=(k^{5}+5k^{4}+10k^{3}+10k^{2}+5k+1)-k-1

=k^{5}+5k^{4}+10k^{3}+10k^{2}+4k

Now, f(k+1)-f(k)

f(k+1)-f(k)=k^{5}+5k^{4}+10k^{3}+10k^{2}+4k-(k^{5}-k)

f(k+1)-f(k)=k^{5}+5k^{4}+10k^{3}+10k^{2}+4k-k^{5}+k

f(k+1)-f(k)=5k^{4}+10k^{3}+10k^{2}+5k

Take out the common factor,

f(k+1)-f(k)=5(k^{4}+2k^{3}+2k^{2}+k)      (divisible by 5)

add both the sides by f(k)

f(k+1)=f(k)+5(k^{4}+2k^{3}+2k^{2}+k)

We have proved that difference between f(k+1) and f(k) is divisible by 5.

so, our assumption in step 2 is correct.

Since f(k) is divisible by 5, then f(k+1) must be divisible by 5 since we are taking the sum of 2 terms that are divisible by 5.

Therefore, for every integer n>1, the number n^{5}-n is a multiple of 5.

Describe at least two similarities between constructing a perpendicular line through a point on a line and constructing a perpen
Vitek1552 [10]

The similarities between constructing a perpendicular line through a point on a line and constructing a perpendicular through a point off a line include:

  • Both methods involve making a 90-degree angle between two lines.
  • The methods determine a point equidistant from two equidistant points on the line.

<h3>What are perpendicular lines?</h3>

Perpendicular lines are defined as two lines that meet or intersect each other at right angles.

In this case, both methods involve making a 90-degree angle between two lines and the methods determine a point equidistant from two equidistant points on the line.

Line GJ is tangent to point A at point G.<br><br> If AG = 9 and GJ = 12, find AJ.
kompoz [17]
GJ is a tangent
АG is a radius
A tangent line to a circle is perpendicular to the radius drawn to the tangent point   ⇒ m∠АGJ = 90°  ⇒ ΔАGJ is the right triangle.

<span>By the Pythagorean theorem:
</span>AJ² = АG² + GJ²
AJ² = 9² + 12² = 81 + 144 = 225
AJ = √225 = 15 units.
