To answer b - You need to find how much it costs to rent a bike per hour. To do this divide the over all cost ($12) by your amount of time (3 hrs) to get $4 per hour. Same with the $20 per 5 hours!
What table? They can all be functions. I need to see a table.
Answer:
Constructive Proof
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be a positive integer
x must be equal to sum of all positive integers exceeding it
i.e.
x = x + (x - 1) + ( x - 2) + ......... + 2 + 1
Equivalently,
x = ∑i (where i = 1 to x)
The property finite sum;
∑i (i = 1 to x) = x(x + 1)/2
So,
x = x(x + 1)/2 ------- Multiply both sides by 2
2 * x = 2 * x(x + 1)/2
2x = x(x + 1)
2x = x² + x ------- subtract 2x from both sides
2x - 2x = x² + x - 2x
0 = x² + x - 2x ----- Rearrange
x² + x - 2x = 0
x² - x = 0 ------ Factorise
x(x - 1) = 0
So,
x = 0 or x - 1 = 0
x = 0 or x = 1 + 0
x = 0 or x = 1
But x ≠ 0
So, x = 1
The statement is only true for x = 1
This makes sense because 1 is the only positive integer not exceeding 1
1 = 1
It is a Constructive Proof
A proof is constructive when we find an element for which the statement is true.
It is different because to find out the answer, change all denominators to 10, since the LCD is 10.
6/10-5/10=1/10
6/10-6/10=0/10
1/10 is not equal to 0/10
