(3,-9)
(4,-8)

$\boxed{\sf (x,y)=\left(\dfrac{x_1+x_2}{2},\dfrac{y_1+y_2}{2}\right)}$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto \left(\dfrac{3+4}{2},\dfrac{-9+8}{2}\right)$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto \left(\dfrac{7}{2},\dfrac{-1}{2}\right)$

Find the values of x for which the combined function h(x) = is undefined if f(x) = 5x + 1 and g(x) = x2 - 9.

Rama09 [41]

We need to know the definition of the "combined function" h(x). I'm going to guess--by looking at answers--that the function is $h(x)=\frac{f(x)}{g(x)}$ making it

$h(x)=\frac{5x+1}{x^2-9}$

This function is undefined wherever the denominator is equal to 0 (division by zero is undefined). Factor the denominator.

$h(x)=\frac{5x+1}{(x+3)(x-3)}$

The two values of x that make the denominator 0 are 3 and -3, otherwise written $x=\pm 3$ .

Prove by mathematical induction that 1+2+3+...+n= n(n+1)/2 please can someone help me with this ASAP. Thanks

Iteru [2.4K]

Let

$P(n):\ 1+2+\ldots+n = \dfrac{n(n+1)}{2}$

In order to prove this by induction, we first need to prove the base case, i.e. prove that P(1) is true:

$P(1):\ 1 = \dfrac{1\cdot 2}{2}=1$

So, the base case is ok. Now, we need to assume $P(n)$ and prove $P(n+1)$ .

$P(n+1)$ states that

$P(n+1):\ 1+2+\ldots+n+(n+1) = \dfrac{(n+1)(n+2)}{2}=\dfrac{n^2+3n+2}{2}$

Since we're assuming $P(n)$ , we can substitute the sum of the first n terms with their expression:

$\underbrace{1+2+\ldots+n}_{P(n)}+n+1 = \dfrac{n(n+1)}{2}+n+1=\dfrac{n(n+1)+2n+2}{2}=\dfrac{n^2+3n+2}{2}$

Which terminates the proof, since we showed that

$P(n+1):\ 1+2+\ldots+n+(n+1) =\dfrac{n^2+3n+2}{2}$

as required

On the day of his 18th birthday harry decided to start saving money regularly

Veseljchak [2.6K]

We have been given that on the day of his 18th birthday Harry decided to start saving money regularly . Starting on that day, he could save 30.00 on the same date every month. We are asked to find the amount saved by the day before Harry's 60th birthday.

First of all, we will find years from 18 years to 60 years.

$\text{Years}=60-18=42$
