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

What is the width of Averi's area model? (See picture)
shepuryov [24]

Answer:

Width = x² + 5x - 4

Step-by-step explanation:

By the definition of an area model,

Area = Width × greatest common factor

Since, Area = 4x² + 20x - 16

And greatest common factor = 4

4x² + 20x - 16 = 4(Width)

By dividing both the sides of the equation by 4,

\frac{4x^2+20x-16}{4}=\frac{4(\text{Width})}{4}

x² + 5x - 4 = Width

Therefore, width = (x² + 5x - 4) will be he answer.

What is the length of
saveliy_v [14]

Answer:

17 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Because the triangle is isosceles, 2 of its sides are congruent; namely, the two sides that are opposite of the 2 congruent angles are contruent.

Because of the reason stated above, we can see that AC is congruent to BC, meaning that:

x+9=2x-8

-x      -x

9=x-8

+8  +8

17  = x

Notice that BC is equal to x, so 17 is our final answer.
