Proof by induction
Base case:
n=1: 1*2*3=6 is obviously divisible by six.
Assumption: For every n>1 n(n+1)(n+2) is divisible by 6.
For n+1:
(n+1)(n+2)(n+3)=
(n(n+1)(n+2)+3(n+1)(n+2))
We have assumed that n(n+1)(n+2) is divisble by 6.
We now only need to prove that 3(n+1)(n+2) is divisible by 6.
If 3(n+1)(n+2) is divisible by 6, then (n+1)(n+2) must be divisible by 2.
The "cool" part about this proof.
Since n is a natural number greater than 1 we can say the following:
If n is an odd number, then n+1 is even, then n+1 is divisible by 2 thus (n+1)(n+2) is divisible by 2,so we have proved what we wanted.
If n is an even number" then n+2 is even, then n+1 is divisible by 2 thus (n+1)(n+2) is divisible by 2,so we have proved what we wanted.
Therefore by using the method of mathematical induction we proved that for every natural number n, n(n+1)(n+2) is divisible by 6. QED.
Answer:
y=2/x+3
Step-by-step explanation:
1. I believe she would have 15 cups of fruit salad because it’s 5 cups of grapes, 6 cups strawberries(1 pint = 2 cups which means 6 cups of strawberries) and 4 cups of watermelon (1 pint = 4 cups
2. Since there are 15 cups of fruit salad you would need to divide 15 by the number of friends which would make it 2.5 cups of fruit salad per person
Answer:
3. C or 18.
4. Perimeter: 10 Area: 6.25
5. 3 and 16
Step-by-step explanation:
3. Because the area of a triangle is 1/2 the base times the height if you double the area you can divide this total area by one side to find the length of the other side. In this problem that is 72*2 which is 144. Then dividing 144/8 you get 18, which is answer choice C.
4. Since a square has 4 sides that are all the same, you only need to know one side length to know them all. Multiplying one side length (2.5) by itself will get you the are of the square as a whole. Doing this (2.5 multiplied by 2.5 gets the area of 6.25.
For the perimeter calculation use the formula for a perimeter of a square which is one side (2.5) multiplied by 4 is 10, which is the perimeter.
5. This is because 3*16 is 48 or the area of the rectangle.
