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

A=$1040
hence the proceeds will be:

If you choose one card from a standard deck, what is the probability that the card is either red or a king?
Soloha48 [4]
The probability of choosing a king or red would be 28/52. The simplified version would be 7/13 because there are 52 cards in a standard deck. There are also four suits, so if you divide 52 by 4, you get 13. Because the problem says red OR a king, you would add 3 to 13 because there are 4 kings total and 13 is the total amount of cards per suit. Because the problem also says red cards, you would add another 13. So you are left with the equation 13(2) + 3 which equals 28. There are 52 cards in total, so then you are left with the fraction probability of 28/52. Simplified would be 7/13.
