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

Devon exercised the same amount of time each day for 5 days last week. e His exercise included walking and swimming. e Each day
prohojiy [21]
I think that Devon swam at least 35 minutes each day for 5 days because if he exercised 225 minutes and each day he walked for 10 minutes then if you divide 225 by 5 you get 45 so every day he exercised 45 minutes and since he walked for 10 minutes you subtract 10 from 45 which gives you 35 so he swam for 35 minutes.

A line with a slope of 8 passes through the points (-1,1) and (0,k). What is the value of k?
Diano4ka-milaya [45]

Answer:

k = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculate the slope m using the slope formula and equate to 8

m = \frac{y_{2}-y_{1}  }{x_{2}-x_{1}  }

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 1, 1) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (0, k)

m = \frac{k-1}{0+1} = k - 1 = 8 ( add 1 to both sides )

k = 9

20 divided by 4 - 5+12
likoan [24]
The answer is 12. you first divide 20 by 4 and get 5. then you subtract 5 by 5 and get 0. then you add 12 plus 0 and get 12

Hope I Helped :D
