D - 15.4 million.
59.3m is 56% of 105.89m whereas 51.6m is 57% of 90.52m
105.89 - 90.52 = 15.37
Base case: if <em>n</em> = 1, then
1² - 1 = 0
which is even.
Induction hypothesis: assume the statement is true for <em>n</em> = <em>k</em>, namely that <em>k</em> ² - <em>k</em> is even. This means that <em>k</em> ² - <em>k</em> = 2<em>m</em> for some integer <em>m</em>.
Induction step: show that the assumption implies (<em>k</em> + 1)² - (<em>k</em> + 1) is also even. We have
(<em>k</em> + 1)² - (<em>k</em> + 1) = <em>k</em> ² + 2<em>k</em> + 1 - <em>k</em> - 1
… = (<em>k</em> ² - <em>k</em>) + 2<em>k</em>
… = 2<em>m</em> + 2<em>k</em>
… = 2 (<em>m</em> + <em>k</em>)
which is clearly even. QED
Answer:
6108795
Step-by-step explanation:
To obtain the number of ways the committee can be selected :
4 teachers from the 12 teachers available and 3 students from the 43 students available
Using combinatorics :
12C4 * 43C3
recall :
nCr = n! ÷ (n - r)!r!
Using calculator :
12C4 = 495
43C3 = 12341
12C4 * 43C3
495 * 12341
= 6108795
