Prove for any positive integer n, n^3 +11n is a multiple of 6
suter [353]

There are probably other ways to approach this, but I'll focus on a proof by induction.

The base case is that n = 1. Plugging this into the expression gets us

n^3+11n = 1^3+11(1) = 1+11 = 12

which is a multiple of 6. So that takes care of the base case.

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

Now for the inductive step, which is often a tricky thing to grasp if you're not used to it. I recommend keeping at practice to get better familiar with these types of proofs.

The idea is this: assume that k^3+11k is a multiple of 6 for some integer k > 1

Based on that assumption, we need to prove that (k+1)^3+11(k+1) is also a multiple of 6. Note how I've replaced every k with k+1. This is the next value up after k.

If we can show that the (k+1)th case works, based on the assumption, then we've effectively wrapped up the inductive proof. Think of it like a chain of dominoes. One knocks over the other to take care of every case (aka every positive integer n)

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

Let's do a bit of algebra to say

(k+1)^3+11(k+1)

(k^3+3k^2+3k+1) + 11(k+1)

k^3+3k^2+3k+1+11k+11

(k^3+11k) + (3k^2+3k+12)

(k^3+11k) + 3(k^2+k+4)

At this point, we have the k^3+11k as the first group while we have 3(k^2+k+4) as the second group. We already know that k^3+11k is a multiple of 6, so we don't need to worry about it. We just need to show that 3(k^2+k+4) is also a multiple of 6. This means we need to show k^2+k+4 is a multiple of 2, i.e. it's even.

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

If k is even, then k = 2m for some integer m

That means k^2+k+4 = (2m)^2+(2m)+4 = 4m^2+2m+4 = 2(m^2+m+2)

We can see that if k is even, then k^2+k+4 is also even.

If k is odd, then k = 2m+1 and

k^2+k+4 = (2m+1)^2+(2m+1)+4 = 4m^2+4m+1+2m+1+4 = 2(2m^2+3m+3)

That shows k^2+k+4 is even when k is odd.

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

In short, the last section shows that k^2+k+4 is always even for any integer

That then points to 3(k^2+k+4) being a multiple of 6

Which then further points to (k^3+11k) + 3(k^2+k+4) being a multiple of 6

It's a lot of work, but we've shown that (k+1)^3+11(k+1) is a multiple of 6 based on the assumption that k^3+11k is a multiple of 6.

This concludes the inductive step and overall the proof is done by this point.

Solve the following system of equations.<br> 4x-2y-z=-5<br> x-3y+2z=3<br> 3x+y-2z=-5
Stels [109]
4x - 2y - z = - 5 ______×2x - 3y + 2z = 3 _______×13x + y - 2z = - 5 ______×1
8x - 4y - 2z = - 10x - 3y + 2z = 33x + y - 2z = - 5
8x - 4y - 2z = - 10(+) x - 3y + 2z = 3_____________9x - 7y = - 77y = 9x + 7y = 9/7x + 1
x - 3y + 2z = 3(+) 3x + y - 2z = - 5_____________4x - 2y = - 24x - 2(9/7x + 1) = - 24x - 18/7x - 2 = - 210/7x = 0x = 0
y = 9/7(0) + 1y = 1
0 - 3(1) + 2z = 32z = 6z = 3

Please help solve!!!!!!!!!!
Deffense [45]

Answer:

Height = 17.31821 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

<u><em>Explanation</em></u>

<u><em>From graph</em></u>

Given angle θ = 6.5°  and a = 152 feet

we need to find the height (h)

By using the tangent rule

                   tan \alpha = \frac{opposite side}{adjacent side}

                  tan 6.5 = \frac{b}{152}

    Cross multiplication , we get

               b = 152 × tan 6.5°

               b = 152 × 0.113935

              b = 17.31821 feet

Height = 17.31821 feet

Alex73 [517]

Answer:

\sf \boxed{\sf \frac{3}{2} } \ miles \  per  \ day

Explanation:

\sf unit \ rate: \dfrac{Total \ distance \  (miles)}{Total \ time \ taken \ (day)}

Here given:

Total \ Distance : 8\dfrac{1}{4} \ or \ 8.25

Total \ Time \ taken : 5\dfrac{1}{2} \ or \ 5.5

Find unit rate:

\rightarrow \sf unit \ rate: \dfrac{8.25 }{5.5 }

\rightarrow \sf unit \ rate: 1.5 \ miles \ per \ day
