Proof by induction

Base case:

n=1: 1*2*3=6 is obviously divisible by six.

Assumption: For every n>1 n(n+1)(n+2) is divisible by 6.

For n+1:

(n+1)(n+2)(n+3)=

(n(n+1)(n+2)+3(n+1)(n+2))

We have assumed that n(n+1)(n+2) is divisble by 6.

We now only need to prove that 3(n+1)(n+2) is divisible by 6.

If 3(n+1)(n+2) is divisible by 6, then (n+1)(n+2) must be divisible by 2.

The "cool" part about this proof.

Since n is a natural number greater than 1 we can say the following:

If n is an odd number, then n+1 is even, then n+1 is divisible by 2 thus (n+1)(n+2) is divisible by 2,so we have proved what we wanted.

If n is an even number" then n+2 is even, then n+1 is divisible by 2 thus (n+1)(n+2) is divisible by 2,so we have proved what we wanted.

Therefore by using the method of mathematical induction we proved that for every natural number n, n(n+1)(n+2) is divisible by 6. QED.

The answer is 2 because The interquartile range (IQR) is a number that indicates how spread out scores are and tells us what the range is in the middle of a set of scores.

For extra im going to tell you all the quartile ranges.

PLEASE HELP! 50 POINTS! IF YOURE NOT GOING TO ACTUALLY ANSWER, PLEASE DON'T SAY ANYTHING.
Fudgin [204]

Answer:

Part A:

In order to find a coterminal angle, or angles of the given angle, simply add or subtract 360 degrees of the terminal angle as many times as possible.

Part B:Simply put, coterminal angles start at 0° and end at the same place, though in different directions and multiple times around (you're probably going to want to make that sound a little more formal). Since each time around is 360°, boom

Part C: 75° is in Quadrant II, right? If I go one more time around, 75 + 360 = 435°. I can also go "backward. Starting at 0 and going clockwise, I'm going 75 fewer degrees than all the way around, so 360-75 = 285° but since I'm going "backward" 75 - 360 = -285°. One more is on you.
