There are two triangles that exist in this problem. First is the given triangle ABC, witch AB = BC = 6 and AC = 8
Next is the smaller triangle formed by connecting points D and E; triangle EAD, with EA = AD = 3 and the length of DE is unknown.
Because these triangles are similar, a simple ratio may be set up in order to calculate DE.
DE / AC = EA / AB
DE = 3/6 * 8
DE = 4 units

Answer:

here are two triangles that exist in this problem. First is the given triangle ABC, witch AB = BC = 6 and AC = 8

Next is the smaller triangle formed by connecting points D and E; triangle EAD, with EA = AD = 3 and the length of DE is unknown.

Because these triangles are similar, a simple ratio may be set up in order to calculate DE.

DE / AC = EA / AB

DE = 3/6 * 8

DE = 4 units

Show that the Fibonacci numbers satisfy the recurrence relation fn = 5fn−4 + 3fn−5 for n = 5, 6, 7, . . . , together with the in
Sonja [21]

Answer with step-by-step explanation:

We are given that the recurrence relation

f_n=5f_{n-4}+3f_{n-5}

for n=5,6,7,..

Initial condition

f_0=0,f_1=1,f_2=1,f_3=2,f_4=3

We have to show that Fibonacci numbers satisfies the recurrence relation.

The recurrence relation of Fibonacci numbers

f_n=f_{n-1}+f_{n-2},f_0=0,f_1=1

Apply this

f_n=(f_{n-2}+f_{n-3})+f_{n-2}=2f_{n-2}+f_{n-3}

f_n=2(f_{n-3}+f_{n-4})+f_{n-3}=3f_{n-3}+2f_{n-4}

f_n=3(f_{n-4}+f_{n-5})+2f_{n-4}=5f_{n-4}+3f_{n-5}

Substitute n=2

f_2=f_1+f_0=1+0=1

f_3=f_2+f_1=1+1=2

f_4=f_3+f_2=2+1=3

Hence, the Fibonacci numbers satisfied the given recurrence relation .

Now, we have to show that f_{5n} is divisible by 5 for n=1,2,3,..

Now replace n by 5n

f_{5n}=5f_{5n-4}+3f_{5n-5}

Apply induction

Substitute n=1

f_5=5f_1+3f_0=5+0=5

It is true for n=1

Suppose it is true for n=k

f_{5k}=5f_{5k-4}+3f_{5k-5} is divisible 5

Let f_{5k}=5q

Now, we shall prove that for n=k+1 is true

f_{5k+5}=5f_{5k+5-4}+3f_{5k+5-5}=5f_{5k+1}+3f_{5k}=5f_{5k+1}+3(5q)

f_{5k+5}=5(f_{5k+1}+3q)

It is multiple of 5 .Therefore, it is divisible by 5.

It is true for n=k+1

Hence, the f_{5n} is divisible by 5 for n=1,2,3,..

Uma pessoa realizou uma compra que foi financiada em três parcelas mensais e iguais a R$ 350,00, o financiamento foi realizado s
lisabon 2012 [21]

Answer: Amount of purchase would be $393.70.

Step-by-step explanation:

One person made a purchase that was financed in three monthly installments and equal to $ 350.00, the financing was made at the compound interest rate of 48% a.a. Determine the amount of the purchase.

Since we have given that

Principal = $350.00

Rate of compounded monthly = 48%

Number of months = 3

So, the amount of purchase would be

Amount=350(1+\dfrac{0.48}{12})^3\\\\Amount=350(1+0.04)^3\\\\Amount=350(1.04)^3\\\\Amount=\$393.70

Hence, Amount of purchase would be $393.70.

Fred wants to find 48+34 using compensation.He says you can take 2 from 34 and give it to 48 to make 50.What is the sum?Explain
Montano1993 [528]
It is easier to add 50 to a number than 48 because 50 has a zero in it which makes an addition simpler.

48 + 34 =     borrow 2 from 34 and add to 48

= 50 + 32      50 + 32 is 82

= 82
