Answer:

d = 22 - x / 25

Step-by-step explanation:

The first thing is to calculate the tank capacity, we know that per gallon 25 miles are traveled and at 500 miles there were still two gallons, therefore:

500 miles / 25 miles / gallon = 20

and how there were still 2

20 + 2 = 22

the tank has a 22 gallon capacity

Therefore the equation would be:

d = 22 - x / 25

where x is the number of miles traveled.

for example, if they have traveled 500 miles it would be:

d = 22 - 500/25 = 22 - 20

d = 2 gallons

we can verify that it is correct because it is what the statement says

Mathematical induction of 3k-1 ≥ 4k ( 3k = k power of 3 )
tresset_1 [31]

For making mathematical induction, we need:

  • a base case

An n_0 for which the relation holds true

  • the induction step

if its true for n_i, then, is true for n_{i+1}

<h3>base case</h3>

the relationship is not true for 1 or 2

1^3-1 = 0 < 4*1

2^3-1 = 8 -1 = 7 < 4*2 = 8

but, is true for 3

3^3-1 = 27 -1 = 26 > 4*3 = 12

<h3>induction step</h3>

lets say that the relationship is true for n, this is

n^3 -1 \ge 4 n

lets add 4 on each side, this is

n^3 -1 + 4 \ge 4 n + 4

n^3 + 3 \ge 4 (n + 1)

now

(n+1)^3 = n^3 +3 n^2 + 3 n + 1

(n+1)^3 \ge n^3 + 3 n

if n \ge 1 then 3 n \ge 3 , so

(n+1)^3 \ge n^3 + 3 n \ge n^3 + 3

(n+1)^3 \ge  n^3 + 3 \ge 4 (n + 1)

(n+1)^3  \ge 4 (n + 1)

and this is what we were looking for!

So, for any natural equal or greater than 3, the relationship is true.
