Answer:

so just successive powers of 2

Step-by-step explanation:

1, 3, 7, 15, 31, 63, _? Add successive powers of 2 to the number: 1+2=3; 3+4=7; 7+8=15; 15+16=31; 31+32=63; 63+64=127.

Use induction to show that 12 + 22 + 32 + ... + n2 = n(n+1)(2n+1)/6, for all n > 1.

dlinn [17]

Answer with Step-by-step explanation:

Let $P(n)=1^2+2^2+3^2+.....+n^2=\frac{n(n+1)(2n+1)}{6}$

Substitute n=2

Then $P(2)=1+2^2=5$

$P(2)=\frac{2(2+1)(4+1)}{6}=5$

Hence, P(n) is true for n=2

Suppose that P(n) is true for n=k >1

$P(k)=1^2+2^2+3^2+...+k^2=\frac{k(k+1)(2k+1)}{6}$

Now, we shall prove that p(n) is true for n=k+1

$P(k+1)=1^2+2^2+3^2+...+k^2+(k+1)^2=\frac{(k+1)(k+2)(2k+3)}{6}$

LHS

$P(k+1)=1^2+2^2+3^2+.....+k^2+(k+1)^2$

Substitute the value of P(k)

$P(k+)=\frac{k(k+1)(2k+1)}{6}+(k+1)^2$

$P(k+1)=(k+1)(\frac{k(2k+1}{6})+k+1)$

$P(k+1)=(k+1)(\frac{2k^2+k+6k+6}{6})$

$P(k+1)=(k+1)(\frac{2k^2+7k+6}{6})$

$P(k+1)=(k+1)(\frac{2k^2+4k+3k+6}{6})$

$P(k+1)=\frac{(k+1)(k+2)(2k+3)}{6}$

LHS=RHS

Hence, P(n) is true for all n >1.

Hence, proved

Can anyone solve this?

anygoal [31]

Answer:

50.4 km (Answer B)

Step-by-step explanation:

From this information, we are able to create a proportion, 2cm/21km= 4.8cm/x km (x representing the actual distance). After cross-multiplying and simplifying, you get an answer of 50.4km. Hope this helps!

Drag each tile to the correct box.

ch4aika [34]

Answer:

1. 50 cm

2. 550 mm

3. 5000 mm

4. 5000 cm

5. 5000 m

Step-by-step explanation:

We can convert all the measures in same unit to arrange them one by one.

5000 cm:

As there are 10 millimeters in 1 cm,

5000 cm = 5000*10mm

=> 50000 mm

5000 meters:

As there are 100 cms in one meter

5000 m = 5000*100 cm

=> 500000 cm

Now to convert in millimeter

500000*10= 5000000 mm

50 cm:

50*10 = 500 mm

Then there is 550 mm and 5000 mm

So, the order from least to greatest is:

1. 500 mm which is equivalent of 50 cm

2. 550 mm

3. 5000 mm

4. 50000 mm which was equivalent of 5000 cm

5. 5000000 mm which was equivalent of 5000 m ..
