Use mathematical induction to prove that the statement is true for every positive integer n.

Induction on n

Base case: n = 0

the left side is 0, and the right side is 0, so the equality holds.

Now, suppose that is true for n, and you need to show that the equality holds for n+1

So, write the left side

8 + 16 +24 + ... + 8n + 8(n+1) (*)

By hypothesis, 8+16+24+ ...+ 8n = 4n(n+1)

so, in (*) we have

4n(n+1) +8(n+1) = (4n+8)(n+1) = 4(n+2)(n+1) = 4(n+1)(n+2). So, this is true for every natural number n.

3. Ken solved the linear equation 2(5y - 1) = 18 using the following steps.
OlgaM077 [116]

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

he actually made a mistake in second step. Step 2 should be: 10y-2=18 and then 10y=18+2

we get 10y=20 /:10

y = 2

Answers:

  1. Exponential and increasing
  2. Exponential and decreasing
  3. Linear and decreasing
  4. Linear and increasing
  5. Exponential and increasing

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

Explanation:

Problems 1, 2, and 5 are exponential functions of the form y = a(b)^x where b is the base of the exponent and 'a' is the starting term (when x=0).

If 0 < b < 1, then the exponential function decreases or decays. Perhaps a classic example would be to study how a certain element decays into something else. The exponential curve goes downhill when moving to the right.

If b > 1, then we have exponential growth or increase. Population models could be one example; though keep in mind that there is a carrying capacity at some point. The exponential curve goes uphill when moving to the right.

In problems 1 and 5, we have b = 2 and b = 1.1 respectively. We can see b > 1 leads to exponential growth. I recommend making either a graph or table of values to see what's going on.

Meanwhile, problem 2 has b = 0.8 to represent exponential decay of 20%. It loses 20% of its value each time x increases by 1.

---------------------

Problems 3 and 4 are linear functions of the form y = mx+b

m = slope

b = y intercept

This b value is not to be confused with the previously mentioned b value used with exponential functions. They're two different things. Unfortunately letters tend to get reused.

If m is positive, then the linear function is said to be increasing. The line goes uphill when moving to the right.

On the other hand if m is negative, then we go downhill while moving to the right. This line is decreasing.

Problem 3 has a negative slope, so it is decreasing. Problem 4 has a positive slope which is increasing.
