Can somebody prove this mathmatical induction?

Flauer [41]

Answer:

See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

1 step:

n=1, then

$\sum \limits_{j=1}^1 2^j=2^1=2\\ \\2(2^1-1)=2(2-1)=2\cdot 1=2$

So, for j=1 this statement is true

2 step:

Assume that for n=k the following statement is true

$\sum \limits_{j=1}^k2^j=2(2^k-1)$

3 step:

Check for n=k+1 whether the statement

$\sum \limits_{j=1}^{k+1}2^j=2(2^{k+1}-1)$

is true.

Start with the left side:

$\sum \limits _{j=1}^{k+1}2^j=\sum \limits _{j=1}^k2^j+2^{k+1}\ \ (\ast)$

According to the 2nd step,

$\sum \limits_{j=1}^k2^j=2(2^k-1)$

Substitute it into the $\ast$

$\sum \limits _{j=1}^{k+1}2^j=\sum \limits _{j=1}^k2^j+2^{k+1}=2(2^k-1)+2^{k+1}=2^{k+1}-2+2^{k+1}=2\cdot 2^{k+1}-2=2^{k+2}-2=2(2^{k+1}-1)$

So, you have proved the initial statement

Mariah's earnings rate can be described in dollars per hour or hours per dollar. Mariah earns $10 for each hour she works at a m

weeeeeb [17]

Answer:

dollars per hour rate = $10

hours per dollar = 6 minutes 15 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

Take note that one is singular (dollar) without an 's', and the other is plural (dollars). Thus, since her dollars per hour rate tells us how much she will earn for each hour of work, we would expect her hours per dollar rate to tell us how much she has to work in minutes to earn a single dollar ($1).

If we divide $\frac{10}{60 minutes}$ = $0.16 which indicates how much she earns for every minute she works at the theater. Further dividing this value into 1 minute we find the hour per dollar rate 1/0.16 = 6.25. minutes.
