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.

Two points on the line are (0, 4) and (7, 18). Use the points to first determine the slope and y-intercept. Then write the equat

Nadya [2.5K]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

a. m = 2; y intercept = (0, 4); y = 2 x + 4

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope can be found using the formula ...

m = (y2 -y1)/(x2 -x1)

m = (18 -4)/(7 -0) = 14/7

m = 2

The y-intercept is the first given point: (0, 4).

The equation for the line in slope-intercept form is

y = mx + b

Here, we have m=2 and b=4, so the equation is ...

y = 2x +4

Is 24 the correct LCD to use for subtracting 6 3/4 - 1 2/6 ? Why or why not?

zimovet [89]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A

No 24 is not the best number to use for the LCD, although it will work. 12 is much better because it is smaller.

B

Factor each number into it's primes.

24 =<u> 2*2*2</u>*3

32 = <u>2*2*2</u>*2*2

The highest common factor is 2*2*2 = 8

C

9/10 - 3/10 = 6/10 The denominator remains the same. The numerators get subtracted.

6/10 = 3/5 Two goes into both numerator and denominator of the answer. Therefore you can divide both 6 an 10 by 2

Plutonium-240 decays according to the function L where o

PIT_PIT [208]

Answer:

$\boxed{\textbf{1700 yr}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$-\dfrac{\text{d}L}{\text{d}t} = kL\\\\\dfrac{dL}{L}=-kdt\\\\\ln L = -kt + C\\\text{At t = 0, L = L$_{0}$, so C = $\ln L_{0}$}\\\ln L = -kt + \ln L_{0}\\\ln L_{0} - \ln L = kt\\\\\ln \dfrac{L_{0}}{L} =kt$

Data:

L₀ = 24 g

L = 20 g

k = 0.000 11 yr⁻¹

Calculation:

$\ln \dfrac{24}{20} =0.000 11t\\\\\ln 1.2 = 0.000 11t\\\\0.1823 = 0.000 11t\\\\t = \dfrac{0.1823}{0.000 11} = \textbf{1700 yr}\\\\\text{It will take } \boxed{\textbf{1700 yr}}\text{ for the polonium to decay to 20 g}$
