Answer:

24, 26, 28

Step-by-step explanation:

The final number is 78

first we can divide 78/3= 26

so 26+26+26= 78

we can leave the middle 26 but we can give 2 from the first number to the last number

24+26+28=78

(This might be wrong but i tried my best)

Use mathematical induction to prove the statement is true for all positive integers n, or show why it is false:

kondaur [170]

$\text{Proof by induction:}$
$\text{Test that the statement holds or n = 1}$

$LHS = (3 - 2)^{2} = 1$
$RHS = \frac{6 - 4}{2} = \frac{2}{2} = 1 = LHS$
$\text{Thus, the statement holds for the base case.}$

$\text{Assume the statement holds for some arbitrary term, n= k}$
$1^{2} + 4^{2} + 7^{2} + ... + (3k - 2)^{2} = \frac{k(6k^{2} - 3k - 1)}{2}$

$\text{Prove it is true for n = k + 1}$
$RTP: 1^{2} + 4^{2} + 7^{2} + ... + [3(k + 1) - 2]^{2} = \frac{(k + 1)[6(k + 1)^{2} - 3(k + 1) - 1]}{2} = \frac{(k + 1)[6k^{2} + 9k + 2]}{2}$

$LHS = \underbrace{1^{2} + 4^{2} + 7^{2} + ... + (3k - 2)^{2}}_{\frac{k(6k^{2} - 3k - 1)}{2}} + [3(k + 1) - 2]^{2}$
$= \frac{k(6k^{2} - 3k - 1)}{2} + [3(k + 1) - 2]^{2}$
$= \frac{k(6k^{2} - 3k - 1) + 2[3(k + 1) - 2]^{2}}{2}$
$= \frac{k(6k^{2} - 3k - 1) + 2(3k + 1)^{2}}{2}$
$= \frac{k(6k^{2} - 3k - 1) + 18k^{2} + 12k + 2}{2}$
$= \frac{k(6k^{2} - 3k - 1 + 18k + 12) + 2}{2}$
$= \frac{k(6k^{2} + 15k + 11) + 2}{}$
$= \frac{(k + 1)[6k^{2} + 9k + 2]}{2}$
$= \frac{(k + 1)[6(k + 1)^{2} - 3(k + 1) - 1]}{2}$
$= RHS$

Since it is true for n = 1, n = k, and n = k + 1, by the principles of mathematical induction, it is true for all positive values of n.

I need the answers pls

yuradex [85]

350 is the solution because the slope is 50meters/1minute
50✖️7=350
Or 250+50+50=350

Joseph has 66 books, Gilda has 31 books, and Mark has twice the number of books that Gilda has. How many books do they have toge

mihalych1998 [28]

66 (Joseph's books) +31 (Gilda's books) +31 (Mark's books)= 128 Number of books all together.
