Carl and Rose' balconies make up the base of an isosceles triangle.

Their distances from the flagpole is the same.

From the question, we understand that:

  • Carl and Rose live on a straight line
  • The measure of angle from each person's balcony to the flagpole is the same

The above highlights mean that:

The relationship between Carl and Rose' balconies and the flagpole is an isosceles triangle.

Where Carl and Rose' balconies form the base of the isosceles triangle.

Hence, their distances from the flagpole is the same.

Use induction to prove: For every integer n > 1, the number n5 - n is a multiple of 5.
nignag [31]

Answer:

we need to prove : for every integer n>1, the number n^{5}-n is a multiple of 5.

1) check divisibility for n=1, f(1)=(1)^{5}-1=0  (divisible)

2) Assume that f(k) is divisible by 5, f(k)=(k)^{5}-k

3) Induction,

f(k+1)=(k+1)^{5}-(k+1)

=(k^{5}+5k^{4}+10k^{3}+10k^{2}+5k+1)-k-1

=k^{5}+5k^{4}+10k^{3}+10k^{2}+4k

Now, f(k+1)-f(k)

f(k+1)-f(k)=k^{5}+5k^{4}+10k^{3}+10k^{2}+4k-(k^{5}-k)

f(k+1)-f(k)=k^{5}+5k^{4}+10k^{3}+10k^{2}+4k-k^{5}+k

f(k+1)-f(k)=5k^{4}+10k^{3}+10k^{2}+5k

Take out the common factor,

f(k+1)-f(k)=5(k^{4}+2k^{3}+2k^{2}+k)      (divisible by 5)

add both the sides by f(k)

f(k+1)=f(k)+5(k^{4}+2k^{3}+2k^{2}+k)

We have proved that difference between f(k+1) and f(k) is divisible by 5.

so, our assumption in step 2 is correct.

Since f(k) is divisible by 5, then f(k+1) must be divisible by 5 since we are taking the sum of 2 terms that are divisible by 5.

Therefore, for every integer n>1, the number n^{5}-n is a multiple of 5.

Eighteen boys joined a group of p students in the auditorium. If the ratio of boys to girls was then 5:4 write and algebraic exp
ycow [4]

Answer:  The number of girls in the auditorium is represented by the algebraic expression y=(4x +72) /5

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to analyze the information given:

  • <em>Number of boys added: 18 </em>
  • <em>Ratio of boys to girls: 5:4 </em>

So, the total number of boys is:

x + 18  

Number of girls = y

Number of boys / number of girls = 5/4

(x+18) /y = 5/4

Solving for "y"

4 (x +18) =5 y

4x +72 = 5y

(4x +72) /5 = y

The number of girls in the auditorium is represented by the algebraic expression y=(4x +72) /5

FinnZ [79.3K]

Answer:

Hence, a carpenter can paint a maximum of 7 chairs.

Hence, option A is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

A carpenter has less than 120 min. to spend painting furniture each day.

Today, he has spent 30.5 min. painting a desk.

Now he will paint x chairs, each of which takes 12.5 min.

i.e. he will take a total of 12.5x minutes in painting 'x' chairs.

Also total time spent on painting furniture each day will be equal to time spent on painting a desk and all of the chairs.

Hence,

30.5+12.5x<120 (since the total time he spends on painting is less than 120 mins.)

⇒ 12.5 x<120-30.5

⇒ 12.5 x<89.5

⇒ x<7.16  ( on dividing both side of the inequality with 12.5)

Hence, a carpenter can paint a maximum of 7 chairs.
