.

$\frac{5}{6} d = - 15$
First you have to simplify 5/6d to 5d/6 as shown below
$\frac{5}{6} d = \frac{5d}{6}$
Then multiple both sides by 6 because you are trying to solve for d
$5d = - 15 \times 6$
Multiply -15 and 6 to get -90
$5d = - 90$
Divide -90 by 5
$d = \frac{ - 90}{5}$
$d = - 18$
Then if you check it, it will give you -15 as your answer
$\frac{5}{6} \times - 18 = - 15$
$\frac{5 \times - 18}{6} = - 15$
$\frac{ - 90}{6} = - 15$
$- 15 = - 15$

Prove the following by induction. In each case, n is apositive integer.<br> 2^n ≤ 2^n+1 - 2^n-1 -1.

frutty [35]

<h2>Answer with explanation:</h2>

We are asked to prove by the method of mathematical induction that:

$2^n\leq 2^{n+1}-2^{n-1}-1$

where n is a positive integer.

Let us take n=1

then we have:

$2^1\leq 2^{1+1}-2^{1-1}-1\\\\i.e.\\\\2\leq 2^2-2^{0}-1\\\\i.e.\\2\leq 4-1-1\\\\i.e.\\\\2\leq 4-2\\\\i.e.\\\\2\leq 2$

Hence, the result is true for n=1.

Let us assume that the result is true for n=k

i.e.

$2^k\leq 2^{k+1}-2^{k-1}-1$

Now, we have to prove the result for n=k+1

i.e.

<u>To prove:</u> $2^{k+1}\leq 2^{(k+1)+1}-2^{(k+1)-1}-1$

Let us take n=k+1

Hence, we have:

$2^{k+1}=2^k\cdot 2\\\\i.e.\\\\2^{k+1}\leq 2\cdot (2^{k+1}-2^{k-1}-1)$

( Since, the result was true for n=k )

Hence, we have:

$2^{k+1}\leq 2^{k+1}\cdot 2-2^{k-1}\cdot 2-2\cdot 1\\\\i.e.\\\\2^{k+1}\leq 2^{(k+1)+1}-2^{k-1+1}-2\\\\i.e.\\\\2^{k+1}\leq 2^{(k+1)+1}-2^{(k+1)-1}-2$

Also, we know that:

$-2$

(

Since, for n=k+1 being a positive integer we have:

$2^{(k+1)+1}-2^{(k+1)-1}>0$ )

Hence, we have finally,

$2^{k+1}\leq 2^{(k+1)+1}-2^{(k+1)-1}-1$

Hence, the result holds true for n=k+1

Hence, we may infer that the result is true for all n belonging to positive integer.

i.e.

$2^n\leq 2^{n+1}-2^{n-1}-1$ where n is a positive integer.

Dana wants to make cookies. The recipe calls for 2/3 cups of flour for two dozen. She only wants to make one dozen,so how much f

Veseljchak [2.6K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

divide 2/3 in half because you're going from 2 dozen to 1 dozen

2/3 ÷ 2 equals 2/3 x 1/2 which equals 1/3
