Let
In order to prove this by induction, we first need to prove the base case, i.e. prove that P(1) is true:
So, the base case is ok. Now, we need to assume 
and prove 
.
states that
Since we're assuming , we can substitute the sum of the first n terms with their expression:
Which terminates the proof, since we showed that
as required
Answer:
-2
Step-by-step explanation:
2(x-3), x=2
Since we know what x equals, plug it into the equation
2(2-3)
2(-1)
-2
Answer:
5.6x+1.4
Step-by-step explanation:
(-3.5x+1.7)+(9.1x-0.3)=-3.5x+9.1x+1.7-0.3=5.6x+1.4
Answer:
6x^2-6x-6
Step-by-step explanation:
(x^2-3x+2)+(5x^2-3x-8)
x^2+5x^2-3x+(-3x)+2+(-8)
6x^2-3x-3x+2-8
6x^2-6x+2-8
6x^2-6x-6
