Answer:

The statement is true for every n between 0 and 77 and it is false for n\geq 78

Step-by-step explanation:

First, observe that, for n=0 and n=1 the statement is true:

For n=0: \sum^{n}_{i=0} (2i)^4=0 \leq 0=(4n)^4

For n=1: \sum^{n}_{i=0} (2i)^4=16 \leq 256=(4n)^4

From this point we will assume that n\geq 2

As we can see, \sum^{n}_{i=0} (2i)^4=\sum^{n}_{i=0} 16i^4=16\sum^{n}_{i=0} i^4 and (4n)^4=256n^4. Then,

\sum^{n}_{i=0} (2i)^4 \leq(4n)^4 \iff \sum^{n}_{i=0} i^4 \leq 16n^4

Now, we will use the formula for the sum of the first 4th powers:

\sum^{n}_{i=0} i^4=\frac{n^5}{5} +\frac{n^4}{2} +\frac{n^3}{3}-\frac{n}{30}=\frac{6n^5+15n^4+10n^3-n}{30}

Therefore:

\sum^{n}_{i=0} i^4 \leq 16n^4 \iff \frac{6n^5+15n^4+10n^3-n}{30} \leq 16n^4 \\\\ \iff 6n^5+10n^3-n \leq 465n^4 \iff 465n^4-6n^5-10n^3+n\geq 0

and, because n \geq 0,

465n^4-6n^5-10n^3+n\geq 0 \iff n(465n^3-6n^4-10n^2+1)\geq 0 \\\iff 465n^3-6n^4-10n^2+1\geq 0 \iff 465n^3-6n^4-10n^2\geq -1\\\iff n^2(465n-6n^2-10)\geq -1

Observe that, because n \geq 2 and is an integer,

n^2(465n-6n^2-10)\geq -1 \iff 465n-6n^2-10 \geq 0 \iff n(465-6n) \geq 10\\\iff 465-6n \geq 0 \iff n \leq \frac{465}{6}=\frac{155}{2}=77.5

In concusion, the statement is true if and only if n is a non negative integer such that n\leq 77

So, 78 is the smallest value of n that does not satisfy the inequality.

Note: If you compute  (4n)^4- \sum^{n}_{i=0} (2i)^4 for 77 and 78 you will obtain:

(4n)^4- \sum^{n}_{i=0} (2i)^4=53810064

(4n)^4- \sum^{n}_{i=0} (2i)^4=-61754992

Which graph best represents the feasibility region for the system shown above? ( pics are in this)
zalisa [80]

Consider the system of inequalities

\left\{ \begin{array}{l}  y\ge 2 \\  x\le 6 \\  y\le 3x+2 \\  y\le -x+10. \end{array}\right.

1. Plot all lines that are determined by equalities (see attached diagram)

\left\{ \begin{array}{l}  y=2 \text{ (red line)} \\  x= 6  \text{ (blue line)}\\  y=3x+2 \text{ (green line)} \\  y= -x+10  \text{ (orange line)}. \end{array}\right.

2. Determine which bounded part of the plane you should select:

  1. y\ge 2 means that you should take points with y-coordinates greater than or equal to 2 (top part of the coordinate plane that was formed by the red line);
  2. x\le 6 means that you should take points with x-coordinates less than or equal to 6 (left part of the coordinate plane that was formed by the blue line);
  3. for y\le 3x+2 you can check where the origin is placed. Since 0\le 3\cdot 0+2, the origin belongs to the needed part and you have to take the right part of the coordinate plane that was formed by green line.
  4. for y\le -x+10 you can check where the origin is placed. Since 0\le -1\cdot 0+10, the origin belongs to the needed part and you have to take the bottom part of the coordinate plane that was formed by orange line.

3. According to the previous explanations, the shaded region is as in A diagram.

Answer: correct choice is A.

How many solutions does this linear system have?
Tanya [424]

Answer:

B (2.5, 0)

Step-by-step explanation:

2x - y = 5 (multiply all by 4)

8x- 4y = 20

-8x - 4y = - 20

eliminate the 4y

8x- 4y = 20

-8x - 4y = - 20

-------------------- –

16x = 40

x = 40/16 = 2.5

now we substitute x with 2.5

2x - y = 5

2(2.5) - y = 5

y = 0

The Knicks and Nets have a total 30 players.
Blababa [14]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

From the problem statement, we can set up the following two equations:

K + N = 30

20K + 10N = 500

where K is the number of Knicks players, and N is the number of Nets players.

We can substitute the first equation into the second and solve for K

K + N = 30

N = 30 - K

20K + 10N = 500

20K + 10(30 - K) = 500

20K + 300 - 10K = 500

10K + 300 = 500

10K = 200

K = 20
