Answer 1
Answer:

Answer with Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

1+4+9+........................+n² = (n(n+1)(2n+1))/(6)

We will show it using induction on n:

Let n = 1

L.H.S. :1 = R.H.S. : (1* 2* 3)/(6)=(6)/(6)=1

So, P(n) is true for n = 1

Now, we suppose that P(n) is true for n = k.

1+4+9+...................+k^2=(k(k+1)(2k+1))/(6)

Now, we will show that P(n) is true for n = k+1.

So, it L.H.S. becomes,

1+4+9+......................+(k+1)^2

and R.H.S. becomes,

((k+1)(k+2)(2k+3))/(6)

Consider, L.H.S.,

1+4+9+..+k^2+(k+1)^2\n\n=(k(k+1)(2k+1))/(6)+(k+1)^2\n\n=k+1[(k(2k+1))/(6)+(k+1)]\n\n=(k+1)[(2k^2+k+6k+6)/(6)]\n\n=(k+1)(2k^2+7k+6)/(6)]\n\n=(k+1)(2k^2+4k+3k+6)/(6)]\n\n=(k+1)[(2k(k+2)+3(k+2))/(6)]\n\n=((k+1)(2k+3)(k+2))/(6)

So, L.H.S. = R.H.S.

Hence, P(n) is true for all integers n.

Answer:

The answer is option D.

Step-by-step explanation:

First we must first find the LCM

The LCM of x² + 3x + 2 and (x + 2)(x + 1 ) is

x² + 3x + 2

So we have

\frac{x}{ {x}^(2) + 3x + 2 }  -  (1)/((x + 2)(x + 1))  \n  \n  =  \frac{x - 1}{ {x}^(2) + 3x + 2 }

Answer:

A.) 48°

Step-by-step explanation:

There is a right angle and an angle of 42°

Therefore

x=180-90-42. (sum of int angles of triangle)

x=48°

Answer:

(A) 48

Step-by-step explanation:

Triangles have 180°, so all you have to do is subtract the numbers you already know from 180.

180-42 = 138

The square on the left corner means that degree is a right angle. Right angles are always 90°.

138-90 = 48degrees
