Can somebody prove this mathmatical induction?

Answer:

See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

1 step:

n=1, then

\sum \limits_{j=1}^1 2^j=2^1=2\\ \\2(2^1-1)=2(2-1)=2\cdot 1=2

So, for j=1 this statement is true

2 step:

Assume that for n=k the following statement is true

\sum \limits_{j=1}^k2^j=2(2^k-1)

3 step:

Check for n=k+1 whether the statement

\sum \limits_{j=1}^{k+1}2^j=2(2^{k+1}-1)

is true.

Start with the left side:

\sum \limits _{j=1}^{k+1}2^j=\sum \limits _{j=1}^k2^j+2^{k+1}\ \ (\ast)

According to the 2nd step,

\sum \limits_{j=1}^k2^j=2(2^k-1)

Substitute it into the \ast

\sum \limits _{j=1}^{k+1}2^j=\sum \limits _{j=1}^k2^j+2^{k+1}=2(2^k-1)+2^{k+1}=2^{k+1}-2+2^{k+1}=2\cdot 2^{k+1}-2=2^{k+2}-2=2(2^{k+1}-1)

So, you have proved the initial statement

Explain how you would solve 5x - 3 = 9. (there should be a minimum of 2<br> complete sentences). *
SpyIntel [72]
Haha, you first start off with adding 3 to both sides, cancelling the -3, and adding it to 9. you end up with 5x=12, in which you divide both sides by 5. you get 2 and 2/5 or 12/5! hope that helps :)

How many unique triangles can be drawn with side lengths 8 in., 12 in., and 24 in.? Explain
Debora [2.8K]

By using the triangular inequality, we will see that no triangles can be made with these side lengths.

<h3>How many triangles can be made with these side lengths?</h3>

Remember that for any triangle with side lengths A, B, and C, the triangular inequality must be true.

This means that the sum of any two sides must be larger than the other side.

A + B > C

A + C > B

B + C > A.

For the given side lengths, we will have:

8 in + 12 in > 24 in

8in + 24 in > 12 in

12 in + 24 in > 8 in.

Now, notice that the first inequality is false. So the triangular inequality is not meet. Then we can't make a triangle with these side lengths.

So we can make 0 unique triangles with these side lengths.

Claim: The measures of \angle B and \angle B' are equal

Answer: True

Explanation: Dilations preserve the shape of an image, so this means the angles are kept the same whether you shrink or enlarge the preimage.

====================================================

Claim: The coordinates of A and A' are the same

Answer: True

Explanation: The phrasing "dilating about point A" means that point A is the center of the universe, so to speak, in terms of this dilation operation. Point A is the fixed point that does not move while every other point does move. Because the scale factor is 2/3, which is less than 1, this means every other point comes closer to point A. So something like segment AB will get shorter.

Given y = log3(x + 4), what is the domain?
dem82 [27]
For a logarithmic function, we have a restriction on the domain.
Since log(0) isn't defined, we say that there is an asymptote at x = 0.
Thus, for the regular logarithmic function y = log(x), x > 0.

We can then say (x + 4) > 0, since that's when the function of a logarithm is defined as.
x + 4 > 0
x > -4

Thus, the domain of the logarithmic function is x > -4, where x is a real integer.
