When n=1 there is 1 dot. when n=2 there are 3 dots, when n=3 there are 6 dots. notice that the total number of dots increases by

n each time.
use induction to prove that
d(n)= n(n+1)/2

part A: prove the statement is true for n=1


part B: Assume that the statement is true for n=k + 1, therefor proving it true for all natural numbers, n.

hint* since the total number of dots increase by n each time, prove that d(k) + (k+1) = d (k+1)


*please answer i really need help!!

Answer:

<h3>Part A</h3>
  • d(n) = n(n + 1)/2
  • n = 1 ⇒ d(1) = 1(1 + 1)/2 = 2/2 = 1, proved
<h3>Part B</h3>
  • d(k) + (k + 1) =
  • k(k + 1)/2 + (k + 1) =
  • [k(k + 1) + 2(k + 1)]/2 =
  • [(k + 1)(k + 1 + 1)]/2 =
  • d(k + 1)
  • Proved

laila [671]
Given that the half life of 3H is 12.3 years.

The amount of substance left of a radioactive substance with half life of t_{ \frac{1}{2} } after t years is given by

N(t)=N_0\left(\frac{1}{2} \right)^{ \frac{t}{t_{\frac{1}{2}} }

Therefore, the number of years it will take for 18% of the original tritinum to remain is given by

18 \% = 100 \% \left(\frac{1}{2} \right)^{ \frac{t}{12.3}} \\  \\ \Rightarrow\left(\frac{1}{2} \right)^{ \frac{t}{12.3}} =0.18 \\  \\ \Rightarrow\frac{t}{12.3}\ln\left(\frac{1}{2} \right)=\ln0.18 \\  \\ \Rightarrow\frac{t}{12.3}= \frac{\ln0.18}{\ln\left(\frac{1}{2} \right)} = \frac{-1.715}{-0.6931} =2.474\\ \\ \Rightarrow t=2.474(12.3)=30.4

Therefore, the number of <span>years that the time could be read at night is 30.4 years.</span>

The sum of two numbers is 48 and the difference is 20. what are the number?​
rosijanka [135]

Answer:

x = 34; y = 14

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Make the equations

x + y = 48

x - y = 20

Step 2: Solve the equations

x + y = 48

x - y = 20

2x = 68

x = 34

34 + y = 48

y = 14
