The Martian monetary system uses colored beads instead of coins. A blue bead is worth 3 Martian credits, and a red bead is worth

7 Martian credits. Thus, three blue beads are worth 9 credits, and a blue and red bead together are worth 10 credits, but no combination of blue and red beads is worth 11 credits. Using Induction, prove that for all n ≥ 12, there is some combination of blue and red beads that is worth n credits. Clearly state the type of Induction you have used to prove the problem

Answer:

"a" is showing the number of blue beads

"b" represents the number of red beads in a combination

let "n" show the number of credits.

We get the following equation:

n = 3a + 7b.

Now, we want to prove that for all n ≥ 12, there is some combination of blue and red beads that is worth n credits, there are a, b in N such that:

n = 3a + 7b

Hence we will prove this by induction.

Base Cases: n = 12.

Applying the formula clearly 12 = 3*4+7*0.

n = 13

Applying the formula clearly 13 = 3*2+7*1.

n = 14.

Applying the formula clearly 14 = 3*0+7*2.

<u>Induction Step:</u> Assume that for all 12<=k<n there are x, y in N such that

k = 3x + 7y. We will now prove that there are a, b in N such that n = 3a + 7b.

By the induction hypothesis we know that there are x, y in N such that n-3 = 3x + 7y.

Hence n = n - 3 + 3 = 3x + 7y + 3 = 3(x + 1) + 7y, so choosing a = x + 1

and b = y we see that n = 3a + 7b.

Therefore by induction, the claim is true for all n ≥ 12

Use ΔABC below to answer the question that follows:
Elza [17]

Answer:


Step-by-step explanation:

To prove Δ ABC similar to ΔDBE  we can consider

Segments AC and DE are parallel.

⇒ DE intersects AB and BC in same ratio.

AB is a transversal line passing AC and DE.

⇒∠BAC=∠BDE [corresponding angles]

Angle B is congruent to itself due to the reflexive property.

All of them are telling a relation of parts of ΔABC to ΔDBE.

The only option which is not used to prove that ΔABC is similar to ΔDBE is the first option ,"The sum of angles A and B are supplementary to angle C".

Use the situation below to complete the table and answer the questions,
Amiraneli [1.4K]

Answer:

t = 13

Step-by-step explanation:

3 months ------ 4500

6 months ------ x

3/6 = 4500/x

cross multiplation:

3x =27000

x = 9000,or we should have just doubled the wages, since the time doubled

3 months ------ 4500

5 months ------ y

3/5 = 4500/y

3y = 22500

y = 7500

3 months ------- 4500

t months -------- 19500

3/t = 4500/19500 = 3/13

3t = 39

t = 13

A rational function g is given below. Find all values of a for which ​g(a)=16. g(x)=(4)/(x+1)+(20)/(x^(2)+2x+1)
aliina [53]

Answer:

a = 2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

(4(x+1) + 20 )/(x+1) = 16

4x + 4 + 20 = 16x + 16

12x = 8

x = 2/3
