Answer:

x = 2/5

General Formulas and Concepts:

Order of Operations: BPEMDAS

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Write equation

5x = 2

Step 2: Solve for x

Divide both sides by 5: x = 2/5

Step 3: Check

Plug in x to verify it's a solution.

Substitute: 5(2/5) = 2
Multiply: 10/5 = 2
Divide: 2 = 2

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.
