n is an integer greater than 1
Prove algebraically that 10+ n^2 - (n - 2)^2 is always an even number.
Your final line must have, 'always even' as part of the line.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Proof below.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let f(n)=10+ n^2 - (n - 2)^2.

We want to prove f is even for integer n > or = 1.

Let's show f is even for the base case, n=1.

f(1)=10+1^2-(1-2)^2

f(1)=10+1-(-1)^2

f(1)=11-(1)

f(1)=10

f(1) is even.

Let's assume the for some integer k > or = 1 , we have f(k) is even. This means there is some integer m so that f(k)=2m.

Note: f(k)=10+ k^2 - (k - 2)^2.

We want to show f(k+1) is even.

f(k+1)=10+ (k+1)^2 - ([k+1] - 2)^2

f(k+1)=10+ (k+1)^2 - (k-1)^2

f(k+1)=10+ ((k+1)^2 - (k-1)^2)

That difference is a difference of squares. Let's try factoring it.

f(k+1)=10+ (k+1-[k-1])(k+1+[k-1])

f(k+1)=10+ (2)(2k)

Multiply:

f(k+1)=10+4k

Turns out we didn't even need to use our induction hypothesis since 10+4k is 2(5+2k) which makes f(k+1) even given the factor of 2 present.

This proves for all integers n>=1 that f(n) is even.

We could have this without induction then. Let's do that here below this line.

-------------------

10+ n^2 - (n - 2)^2

10+[n^2 - (n - 2)^2]

Factor difference of squares:

10+(n-(n-2))(n+(n-2))

Simplify:

10+(2)(2n-2)

Factor:

2[5+(2n-2)]

Because of the factor of 2, the given expression is always even for integer n.

Find the probability that first die lands on an even number and the second die is less than 2.

Answers

The probability of an event occurring is given by the ratio of the number of

possible outcome to the number of required outcome.

First question: The probability that the first coin lands on heads and the second coin lands on tails is 0.25.Second question: The probability of drawing a black card and then a 8 is [tex]\underline{\dfrac{1}{13}}[/tex].

Third question: The probability that the number chosen is 4 and the letter chosen is a consonant, is [tex]\underline{\dfrac{21}{234}}[/tex].

Fourth question: The probability that the first die lands on an even number and the second die is less than 2, is [tex]\underline{\dfrac{1}{12}}[/tex].

Reasons:

First question:

The number of faces in a coin = 2; A head or a tail

The probability that the first coin lands on heads, P(H) = [tex]\dfrac{1}{2}[/tex]

The probability that the second coin lands on tails, P(T) = [tex]\dfrac{1}{2}[/tex]

The probability that the first coin lands on heads and the second coin lands

on tails = P(H ∩ T)

Which gives;

[tex]P(H \cap T) = \dfrac{1}{2} \times \dfrac{1}{2} = \dfrac{1}{4}[/tex]

The probability that the first coin lands on heads and the second coin lands on tails = [tex]\dfrac{1}{4}[/tex] = 0.25

Second question:

The number of black cards in a pack of 52 = 26 cards

The number of cards that are a 8 in a pack of 52 cards = 8 cards

[tex]\mathrm{The \ probability \ of \ drawing \ a \ black \ card}, \ P(B) = \dfrac{26}{52} = \dfrac{1}{2}[/tex]

[tex]\mathrm{The \ probability \ of \ drawing \ a \ 8,} \ P(8) = \dfrac{8}{52} = \dfrac{2}{13}[/tex]

The probability of drawing a black card and then an 8, P(B∩8), is given as follows;

[tex]P(B \cap 8) = \dfrac{1}{2} \times \dfrac{2}{13} = \dfrac{1}{13}[/tex]

The probability of drawing a black card and then a 8 is P(B∩8) = [tex]\underline{\dfrac{1}{13}}[/tex]

Third question:

The probability that a number chosen between 0 and 9 is 4, P(4) = [tex]\dfrac{1}{9}[/tex]

The number of consonant in the alphabet = 21

The probability that a letter chosen from A to Z is a consonant, P(C) = [tex]\dfrac{21}{26}[/tex]

The probability that the number chosen is 4 and the letter chosen is a consonant, P(4 ∩ C)  = [tex]\dfrac{1}{9} \times \dfrac{21}{26} = \underline{ \dfrac{21}{234}}[/tex]

Fourth question:

The number of even numbers on a die = 3; (2, 4, 6)

The number of numbers less than 2 on a die = 1

The probability that the first die lands on an even number, P(E) = [tex]\dfrac{3}{6}[/tex]

The probability that the second die is less than 2. P(<2) = [tex]\dfrac{1}{6}[/tex]

Therefore;

The probability that the first die lands on an even number and the second die is less than 2, P(E ∩ <2) = [tex]\dfrac{3}{6} \times \dfrac{1}{6} = \dfrac{3}{36} = \underline{\dfrac{1}{12}}[/tex]

what is the formula for calculating midpoint​

Answers

MIDPOINT

The intersection of a line segment's two endpoints is known as the midpoint. From the midpoint to one endpoint and the midpoint to the other endpoint, you will be given two equal distances.

The formula for calculating the midpoint is given below:

[tex] \boxed{ \bold{ \: \: M = \bigg(\dfrac{x_1 + x_2}{2}, \dfrac{y_1 + y_2}{2}\bigg) \: \: }}[/tex]

For example, let us try solving this sample problem below using the midpoint formula:

Sample problem: A new transmission tower will be put up midway between two existing towers. On a map drawn on a coordinate plane, the coordinates of first existing tower are (-5, -3) and the coordinates of the second existing tower are (9, 13). What are the coordinates of the point where the new tower will be placed?

From inspection on the given problem:

[tex]\sf (x_1, y_1) = (-5, -3) [/tex][tex]\sf (x_2, y_2) = (9, 13) [/tex]

Substitute the given values into the midpoint formula and solve for M:

[tex]\sf M = \bigg(\dfrac{x_1 + x_2}{2}, \dfrac{y_1 + y_2}{2}\bigg)[/tex]

[tex]\sf M = \bigg(\dfrac{-5 + 9}{2}, \dfrac{-3 + 13}{2}\bigg)[/tex]

[tex]\sf M = \bigg(\dfrac{4}{2}, \dfrac{10}{2}\bigg)[/tex]

[tex]\sf M = (2, 5)[/tex]

Therefore, the coordinates of the point are (2, 5).

[tex]\\[/tex]

Now, wasn't that easy? Try this other sample problem:

The endpoints of a segment are (-5, 2) and (9, 12), respectively. What are the coordinates of its midpoint?

From the sample problem above, you may solve it on your own to enhance your skill on calculating the midpoint.

(a) Write an equation that represents the situation. Explain any variable used.
(b) Solve the equation from Part (a). Show your work. State your solution as a complete sentence.

Answers

Answer:

Kim's age is twice of that of her sister. We'll let k2 = Kim and k = Kim's sister.

So, k2. When you add Kim's age to her sister age you get 36.

Because Kim is twice the age of her sister k2. And because it said 'add' then we put a + sign. k2 + s = 36. Now let's solve it.  

k2 + k = 36 < Given

3k = 36 < Combine like terms

k = 12 < Divide both sides by 3

We know Kim's sister is 12 y/o but what about Kim herself? Earlier we assigned Kim to k2. Substitute 12 for k and you get 12(2) = 24

Kim's sister is 12 y/o and Kim is 24 y/o

Kim's age = x

In a standard deck of 52 playing cards, 13 cards are clubs, and 3 of the clubs are "face" cards (K, Q, J). What is the probability of drawing one card that is:


A) A club or a face card? Is this event a union or an intersection?


B) A club and a face card? Is this event a union or an intersection?


C) Not a club and not a face card?

Answers

A) This event is a union. If a card is of the suit of clubs or a face card or both, then it belongs to the set of "cards with clubs or a face".

For the probability in question, we use the inclusion/exclusion principle:

P(club or face) = P(club) + P(face) - P(club and face)

That is, we add the probabilities of drawing a club and of drawing a face card, and subtract the probability of both conditions being met because, in a certain sense, we've double-counted the event of the card being both of clubs and a face. The sets "club" and "face" are not disjoint; there is overlap between them.

Then we have

P(club) = 13/52

P(face) = 12/52

P(club and face) = 3/52

so that

P(club or face) = 13/52 + 12/52 - 3/52 = 22/52 = 11/26

B) This event is an intersection. If a card is of the suit of clubs and a face card, then it belongs to both the set of clubs and the set of face cards.

We already found the probability of the intersection above:

P(club and face) = 3/52

C) If a given card is not a club and not a face card, this is the same as saying the card is neither a club nor a face card. In other words,

P(not club and not face) = P(not(club or face))

and this probability is complementary to the probability that a card is either a club or face, which is to say

P(not(club or face)) = 1 - P(club or face)

Using the result from part (A), we have

P(not club and not face) = 1 - 11/26 = (26 - 11)/26 = 15/26
