<h3>To ProvE :- </h3>

  • 1 + 3 + 5 + ..... + (2n - 1) = n²

<u>Method</u><u> </u><u>:</u><u>-</u>

If P(n) is a statement such that ,

  1. P(n) is true for n = 1
  2. P(n) is true for n = k + 1 , when it's true for n = k ( k is a natural number ) , then the statement is true for all natural numbers .

\sf\to \textsf{ Let P(n) :  1 + 3 + 5 + $\dots$ +(2n-1) = n$^{\sf 2}$ }

Step 1 : <u>Put </u><u>n </u><u>=</u><u> </u><u>1</u><u> </u><u>:</u><u>-</u><u> </u>

\sf\longrightarrow LHS = \boxed{\sf 1 } \\

\sf\longrightarrow RHS = n^2 = 1^2 = \boxed{\sf 1 }

Step 2 : <u>Assume </u><u>that </u><u>P(</u><u>n)</u><u> </u><u>is </u><u>true </u><u>for </u><u>n </u><u>=</u><u> </u><u>k </u><u>:</u><u>-</u>

\sf\longrightarrow 1 + 3 + 5 + \dots + (2k - 1 ) = k^2

  • Add (2k +1) to both sides .

\sf\longrightarrow 1 + 3+5+\dots+(2k-1)+(2k+1)=k^2+(2k+1)

  • RHS is in the form of ( a + b)² = a²+b²+2ab .

\sf\longrightarrow 1 + 3+5+\dots+(2k-1)+(2k+1)= (k +1)^2

  • Adding and subtracting 1 to LHS .

\sf\longrightarrow 1 + 3+5+\dots+(2k-1)+(2k+1) + 1 -1  = (k +1)^2 \\

\sf\longrightarrow 1 + 3+5+\dots+(2k-1)+(2k+2) - 1 = (k +1)^2

  • Take out 2 as common .

\sf\longrightarrow 1 + 3+5+\dots+(2k-1)+\{2(k+1)-1\}= (k +1)^2

  • P(n) is true for n = k + 1 .

Hence by the principal of Mathematical Induction we can say that P(n) is true for all natural numbers 'n' .

Answer:

see below

Step-by-step explanation:

we want to prove the following using mathematical induction

\displaystyle 1 + 3 + 5 + ... + (2n - 1) = {n}^{2}

keep in mind that Mathematical Induction is a special way of proving things. It has only 2 steps:

  1. Show it is true for the first one
  2. Show that if any one is true then the next one is true

In fact,if you know about <em>Domino</em><em> effect</em><em> </em>. it will be easier to understand because That is how Mathematical Induction works! however let our topic back to the question. Showing the step is easy since we just need to prove the first one i.e n=1 . the second step is bit tricky so we'll handle it later,just a bit information the second step is all about assumption. it'll be required later

Step-1:Show it is true for the first one

2.1 - 1 \stackrel{?}{ = }  {1}^{2}

1 \stackrel{ \checkmark}{ = }  1

Step-2:Show that if any one is true then the next one is true

so assuming it true that <em>n=</em><em>k.</em>we'd obtain

\rm\displaystyle 1 + 3 + 5 + ... +  (2k- 1) = {k}^{2}

now let <em>n=</em><em>k+</em><em>1</em><em> </em>therefore we acquire:

\rm\displaystyle 1 + 3 + 5 + ... + (2k - 1  )+  (2(k + 1)- 1)  = {(k + 1)}^{2}

simplify which yields:

\rm\displaystyle 1 + 3 + 5 + ... + (2k - 1  )+  2k + 1 \stackrel{?}{=}  {k}^{2}  + 2k + 1

as I mentioned it's all about assumption therefore \displaystyle 1 + 3 + 5 + ... + (2k- 1) = {k}^{2} Thus,

\rm\displaystyle  {k}^{2} +  2k + 1  \stackrel { \checkmark}{ = }  {k}^{2}  + 2k + 1

and we are done!

note:<em> the</em><em> </em><em>other</em><em> </em><em>user </em><em>is</em><em> </em><em>correct</em><em> </em><em>but </em><em>didn't</em><em> </em><em>explain</em><em> </em><em>the</em><em> </em><em>assuming</em><em> </em><em>part</em><em> </em><em>which</em><em> </em><em>can</em><em> </em><em>be</em><em> </em><em>misleading</em>

PRACTICE ANOTHER A piece of wire 18 m long is cut into two pieces. One piece is bent into a square and the other is bent into an
sergejj [24]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the equations

4x + 3y = 18   where x = the side of the square and y = the side of the triangle

For the areas:

A = x^2 + √3y/2* y/2

A = x^2  + √3y^2/4

From the first equation x = (18 - 3y)/4

So substituting in the area equation:

A = [ (18 - 3y)/4]^2 + √3y^2/4

A = (18 - 3y)^2 / 16 + √3y^2/4

Now for maximum / minimum area the derivative = 0 so we have

A' = 1/16 * 2(18 - 3y) * -3 + 1/4 * 2√3 y = 0

-3/8 (18 - 3y) + √3 y /2 = 0

-27/4 + 9y/8 + √3y /2 = 0

-54 + 9y + 4√3y = 0

y = 54 / 15.93

= 3.39 metres

So x = (18-3(3.39) / 4 = 1.96.

This is a minimum value for x.

So the total length of wire the square  for minimum  total area is 4 * 1.96

= 7.84 m

There is no maximum area as the equation for the total area is a quadratic with a positive leading coefficient.

lapo4ka [179]
Y = 1/2x - 3. Slope here is 1/2. A perpendicular line will have a negative reciprocal slope. All that means is flip the slope and change the sign. So the perpendicular line will have a slope of -2.

y = mx + b
slope(m) = -2
(1,-1)...x = 1 and y = -1
now we sub and find b, the y int
-1 = -2(1) + b
-1 = -2 + b
-1 + 2 = b
1 = b

so ur perpendicular equation is : y = -2x + 1
