multiples of 12 are 12, 24, 36, 48, 60, 72, 84, 96, 108, 120, 132, 144 and so on,

multiples of 32 are 264, 396, 528, 660, 792, 924, 1056 and so on,

multiples of 253 are 253, 506, 759, 1012, and so on,

Its quite a time consuming process.

when all the numbers eventually meet together that is the answer.

Use induction to prove: For every integer n > 1, the number n5 - n is a multiple of 5.

nignag [31]

Answer:

we need to prove : for every integer n>1, the number $n^{5}-n$ is a multiple of 5.

1) check divisibility for n=1, $f(1)=(1)^{5}-1=0$ (divisible)

2) Assume that $f(k)$ is divisible by 5, $f(k)=(k)^{5}-k$

3) Induction,

$f(k+1)=(k+1)^{5}-(k+1)$

$=(k^{5}+5k^{4}+10k^{3}+10k^{2}+5k+1)-k-1$

$=k^{5}+5k^{4}+10k^{3}+10k^{2}+4k$

Now, $f(k+1)-f(k)$

$f(k+1)-f(k)=k^{5}+5k^{4}+10k^{3}+10k^{2}+4k-(k^{5}-k)$

$f(k+1)-f(k)=k^{5}+5k^{4}+10k^{3}+10k^{2}+4k-k^{5}+k$

$f(k+1)-f(k)=5k^{4}+10k^{3}+10k^{2}+5k$

Take out the common factor,

$f(k+1)-f(k)=5(k^{4}+2k^{3}+2k^{2}+k)$ (divisible by 5)

add both the sides by f(k)

$f(k+1)=f(k)+5(k^{4}+2k^{3}+2k^{2}+k)$

We have proved that difference between $f(k+1)$ and $f(k)$ is divisible by 5.

so, our assumption in step 2 is correct.

Since $f(k)$ is divisible by 5, then $f(k+1)$ must be divisible by 5 since we are taking the sum of 2 terms that are divisible by 5.

Therefore, for every integer n>1, the number $n^{5}-n$ is a multiple of 5.

The first three terms of a sequence are given. Round to the nearest thousandth (if necessary).

zalisa [80]

Answer: 272

Step-by-step explanation:

Let a1=11

a2=20

a3=29

Formula for sequence=

an=a1+(n-1)d

an = nth term

a1= first term

n= nth position

d= common difference

We are looking for the 30th term,so our n=30

d= a2-a1

d= 20-11

d= 9

Using the formula

an= a1+(n-1)d

a30= 11+(30-1)9

a30= 11+(29)9

a30= 11+(29×9)

a30= 11+261

a30= 272

Therefore, the 30th term is 272

Graph the linear equation.<br> 4x+6y=-12

lianna [129]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

To graph an equation using the slope and y-intercept, 1) Write the equation in the form y = mx + b to find the slope m and the y-intercept (0, b). 2) Next, plot the y-intercept. 3) From the y-intercept, move up or down and left or right, depending on whether the slope is positive or negative.
