Base case (n = 1):
• On the left side: 1/(1×2) = 1/2
• On the right side: 1/(1 + 1) = 1/2
Induction hypothesis: Assume the statement is true for n = k ; that is,
1/(1×2) + 1/(2×3) + … + 1/(k × (k + 1))) = k/(k + 1)
Inductive step (n = k + 1):
1/(1×2) + 1/(2×3) + … + 1/(k × (k + 1))) + 1/((k + 1) × (k + 2)))
= k/(k + 1) + 1/((k + 1) × (k + 2))
= (k × (k + 2) + 1) / ((k + 1) × (k + 2))
= (k ² + 2k + 1) / ((k + 1) × (k + 2))
= (k + 1)² / ((k + 1) × (k + 2))
= (k + 1) / (k + 2)

Two coins are tossed. Assume that each event is equally likely to occur. a) Use the counting principle to determine the number of sample points in the sample space. b) Construct a tree diagram and list the sample space. c) Determine the probability that no tails are tossed. d) Determine the probability that exactly one tail is tossed. e) Determine the probability that two tails are tossed. f) Determine the probability that at least one tail is tossed.
Answer:
(a) 4 sample points
(b) See attachment for tree diagram
(c) The probability that no tail is appeared is 1/4
(d) The probability that exactly 1 tail is appeared is 1/2
(e) The probability that 2 tails are appeared is 1/4
(f) The probability that at least 1 tail appeared is 3/4
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
[tex]Coins = 2[/tex]
Solving (a): Counting principle to determine the number of sample points
We have:
[tex]Coin\ 1 = \{H,T\}[/tex]
[tex]Coin\ 2 = \{H,T\}[/tex]
To determine the sample space using counting principle, we simply pick one outcome in each coin. So, the sample space (S) is:
[tex]S = \{HH,HT,TH,TT\}[/tex]
The number of sample points is:
[tex]n(S) = 4[/tex]
Solving (b): The tree diagram
See attachment for tree diagram
From the tree diagram, the sample space is:
[tex]S = \{HH,HT,TH,TT\}[/tex]
Solving (c): Probability that no tail is appeared
This implies that:
[tex]P(T = 0)[/tex]
From the sample points, we have:
[tex]n(T = 0) = 1[/tex] --- i.e. 1 occurrence where no tail is appeared
So, the probability is:
[tex]P(T = 0) = \frac{n(T = 0)}{n(S)}[/tex]
This gives:
[tex]P(T = 0) = \frac{1}{4}[/tex]
Solving (d): Probability that exactly 1 tail is appeared
This implies that:
[tex]P(T = 1)[/tex]
From the sample points, we have:
[tex]n(T = 1) = 2[/tex] --- i.e. 2 occurrences where exactly 1 tail appeared
So, the probability is:
[tex]P(T = 1) = \frac{n(T = 1)}{n(S)}[/tex]
This gives:
[tex]P(T = 1) = \frac{2}{4}[/tex]
[tex]P(T = 1) = \frac{1}{2}[/tex]
Solving (e): Probability that 2 tails appeared
This implies that:
[tex]P(T = 2)[/tex]
From the sample points, we have:
[tex]n(T = 2) = 1[/tex] --- i.e. 1 occurrences where 2 tails appeared
So, the probability is:
[tex]P(T = 2) = \frac{n(T = 2)}{n(S)}[/tex]
This gives:
[tex]P(T = 2) = \frac{1}{4}[/tex]
Solving (f): Probability that at least 1 tail appeared
This implies that:
[tex]P(T \ge 1)[/tex]
In (c), we have:
[tex]P(T = 0) = \frac{1}{4}[/tex]
Using the complement rule, we have:
[tex]P(T \ge 1) + P(T = 0) = 1[/tex]
Rewrite as:
[tex]P(T \ge 1) = 1-P(T = 0)[/tex]
Substitute known value
[tex]P(T \ge 1) = 1-\frac{1}{4}[/tex]
Take LCM
[tex]P(T \ge 1) = \frac{4-1}{4}[/tex]
[tex]P(T \ge 1) = \frac{3}{4}[/tex]
Kayla parks her car at the corner of Ogilvie and Montreal Rd. She walks 80m East and then turns 30° to the left towards her office building and continues walking for another 100m until she reaches her building. She then takes the elevator to her office 60m above ground level and looks out the window. She can see her car from here. How far is it from where she is to her car in a direct line?
9514 1404 393
Answer:
184 m
Step-by-step explanation:
The direct distance from Kayla's car (C) to the door of her office building (B) can be found using the Law of Cosines. The interior angle of the triangle at the turning point is 180° -30° = 150°, so the distance is ...
t² = b² +c² -2bc·cos(T)
t² = 80² +100² -2·80·100·cos(150°) = 30256.406
The direct distance from her window to the car can be found from the Pythagorean theorem. The legs of the right triangle are the distance from the car to the building (CB) and the height from the building entrance to the window (BW).
CW = √(t² +60²) ≈ 184.001
The direct line distance from Kayla to her car is 184 meters.

What is the first step to solve the equation 16x-21 = 52?
1 Add 52 to both sides
2 Add 21 to both sides
3 Subtract 21 from both sides
4 Subtract 52 from both sides
Answer:
2) Add 21 to both sides
Step-by-step explanation:
When solving [tex]16x-21=52[/tex] for [tex]x[/tex], our goal to isolate [tex]x[/tex] such that we have [tex]x[/tex] set equal to something.
Therefore, we want to start by adding 21 to both sides. This leaves us with [tex]16x=73[/tex] and we are one step closer to isolating [tex]x[/tex].

With an x intercept of 4 and a y intercept of -1.5. Find the equation of the line
The equation of the line is.
y = (3/8)*x - 1.5
A general linear relationship can be written as:
y = a*x + b
Where a is the slope, and b is the y-intercept.
If the line passes through the points (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂), we can write the slope as:
a = ( y₂ - y₁)/(x₂- x₁)
We define the y-intercept and the x-intercept as the points where the graph intersects the y-axis or the x-axis correspondingly.
Here we know that the x-intercept is 4, or we can write this as (4, 0)
we also know that the y-intercept is -1.5, or we can write this as (0, -1.5)
So we know two points of the line, this means that we can find the slope of the line:
a = (-1.5 - 0)/(0 - 4) = (1.5)/(4) = (3/2)*(1/4) = 3/8
Then the line is:
y = (3/8)*x + b
And remember that b is the y-intercept, which we know is equal to -1.5, so we can just replace it:
Then the equation of the line is.
y = (3/8)*x - 1.5

Use the discriminant to determine the number of solutions to the quadratic equation −40m2+10m−1=0
From the analysis of the discriminant, you obtain that the quadratic function has no real solutions.
In first place, you must know that the roots or solutions of a quadratic function are those values of x for which the expression is 0. This is the values of x such that y = 0. That is, f (x) = 0.
Being the quadratic function f (x)=a*x² + b*x + c, then the solution must be when: 0 =a*x² + b*x + c
The solutions of a quadratic equation can be calculated with the quadratic formula:
[tex]Solutions=\frac{-b+-\sqrt{b^{2} -4*a*c} }{2*a}[/tex]
The discriminant is the part of the quadratic formula under the square root, that is, b² - 4*a*c
The discriminant can be positive, zero or negative and this determines how many solutions (or roots) there are for the given quadratic equation.
If the discriminant:
is positive: the quadratic function has two different real solutions. equal to zero: the quadratic function has a real solution. is negative: none of the solutions are real numbers. That is, it has no real solutions.In this case, a= -40, b=10 and c= -1. Then, replacing in the discriminant expression:
discriminant= 10² -4*(-40)*(-1)
Solving:
discriminant= 100 - 160
discriminant= -60
The discriminant is negative, so the quadratic function has no real solutions.

A local church holds an annual raffle to raise money for a new roof. They sell only 500 tickets at $50 each. This year's prizes include: $3,000 in cash, four $100 Amazon gift cards, and two $75 Visa gift cards. You buy one ticket. What is your mathematical expectation for this game
Answer:
The expectation for an event with outcomes:
{x₁, x₂, ..., xₙ}
Each one with probability:
{p₁, p₂, ..., pₙ}
Is:
Ev = x₁*p₁ + ... + xₙ*pₙ
There are 500 tickets sold.
1 of these, wins $3,000 (this is the event x₁)
4 of these, wins $100 (this is the event x₂)
2 of these, wins $75 (this is the event x₃)
The others do not have a prize.
So the probability of winning the $3000 is equal to the quotient between the number of tickets with that prize (1) and the total number of tickets (500)
p₁ = 1/500
Similarly, the probability of winning $100 will be:
p₂ = 4/500
And for the $75 prize:
p₃ = 2/500
Then the probability of not winning is:
p₄ = 493/500
Then the expected value for a single ticket is:
Ev = $0*493/500 + $75*2/500 + $100*4/500 + $3000*1/500
Ev = $7.1
If you take in account that you pay $50 for the ticket, the actual expectation should be:
E = $7.10 - $50 = -$42.90

a) (pi)r/4
b) (pi)r/2
c) (pi)r
d) (pi)r^2/4
The length of arc APD is: [tex]\frac{\pi r}{2}[/tex]
A square when inscribed in a circle will fit the circle such that, the 4 edges of the square touches the sides of the circle. The radius of the circle can be drawn from any of the 4 edges.
Given that ABCD is a square:
This means that:
[tex]AB = BC = CD = DA[/tex] --- equal side lengths
To calculate the length of arc APD, we make use of the following arc length formula
[tex]APD = \frac{\theta}{360} * 2\pi r[/tex]
Where
[tex]\theta = \angle ADO[/tex] and O is circle center
Since ABCD is a square, then:
[tex]\theta = \angle ADO = 90^o[/tex]

Three construction companies have bid for a job. Max knows that the two companies with which he is competing have probabilities 1/3 and 1/9, respectively, of getting the job. What is the probability that Max will get the job?
Answer:
0.5555 = 55.55% probability that Max will get the job.
Step-by-step explanation:
What is the probability that Max will get the job?
The sum of all probabilities is 100% = 1, so, considering Max's probability as x:
[tex]x + \frac{1}{3} + \frac{1}{9} = 1[/tex]
[tex]\frac{9x + 3 + 1}{9} = 1[/tex]
[tex]9x + 4 = 9[/tex]
[tex]9x = 5[/tex]
[tex]x = \frac{5}{9}[/tex]
[tex]x = 0.5555[/tex]
0.5555 = 55.55% probability that Max will get the job.
The max has probability of getting this job is x= 0.5555 and 55.55%
Suppose that ;
Max has probability of getting this job is = x
and other two companies have probability to get job is [tex]\frac{1}{3} or \frac{1}{9}[/tex].
Sum of the probability have bid a job is 100% which is equal to 1.
The sum of the probabilities in a probability distribution is always 1. A probability distribution is a collection of probabilities that defines the likelihood of observing all of the various outcomes of an event or experiment. Based on this definition, a probability distribution has two important properties that are always true:According to given question ;
Sum of all the companies having probability to get the job = 1
[tex]x + \frac{1}{3} + \frac{1}{9} = 1[/tex]
[tex]\frac{9.x+1.3+1.1}{9} = 1\\9x+3+1 = 9.1\\9x+4 =9\\9x = 9-4\\9x = 5\\x = \frac{5}{9}[/tex]
x = 0.5555
