Let un be the nth Fibonacci number. Prove that the Euclidean algorithm takes precisely n steps to prove that gcd(un+1, un) = 1.

Answers

Answer 1

Hello, Please consider the following.

Fibonacci numbers are defined as

[tex]u_0=1\\\\u_1=1\\\\u_{n+2}=u_{n+1}+u_{n} \ for \ n\geq 0[/tex]

Step 1 - The proposition is true for n = 1

[tex]GCD(u_2,u_1) ?\\[/tex]

Let's apply Euclidean algorithm

[tex]u_1=1, u_2=2\\\\u_2=2\times u_1+0 = 2 \times 1 +0[/tex]

This is exactly 1 step and [tex]GCD(u_2,u_1) =1[/tex]

Step 2 - We assume that this is true for k, meaning that the Euclidean algorithm takes precisely k steps to prove that [tex]GCD(u_{k+1},u_{k})=1[/tex]

[tex]u_{k+2}=u_{k+1}+u_k \ and \ 0 < u_k < u_{k+1}[/tex]

So, the first step of the algorithm is

[tex]u_{k+2}=u_{k+1}\times 1 +u_{k}[/tex]

And from now, we need to find [tex]GCD(u_{k+1},u_k)[/tex] which is 1 and takes k steps, by induction Hypothesis. Therefore, it takes k + 1 steps to find [tex]GCD(u_{k+2},u_{k+1})=1[/tex]

Step 3 - Conclusion

We have just proved that the Euclidean algorithm takes precisely n steps to prove that [tex]GCD(u_{n+1},u_{n})=1[/tex]

Thanks

This histogram shows the percentage of the population that smokes tobacco for 123 countries. Which one of the following values is the most reasonable estimate for the IQR?

Answers

Answer:

9.5

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for interquartile range = Third Quartile - 1st Quartile

= Q3 - Q1

Looking at the histogram given, the class width = 6

Step 1

We find the number of values = n

n = 1 + 12 + 26 + 27 + 31 + 19 + 6 + 1

= 123

Frequency Cumulative Frequency

1 1

12 13

26 39

27 66

31 97

19 116

6 122

1 123

Step 2

We find Q1 ( First Quartile)

Q1 =1/4 (n + 1) value

Q1 = 1/4(124) value

= 31st value

The first Quartile = 31st value

31 - 13 = 18

31st value = 12 + (18/26 × class width)

= 12 +( 18/26 × 6)

First Quartile = 16.153846154

Third Quartile =Q3 =3/4 (n + 1) value

Q1 = 3/4(124) value

= 93rd value

The first Quartile = 93rd value

93 - 66 = 27

93rd value = 1 + (27/97 × class width)

=24 +( 27/97 × 6)

Third Quartile= 25.670103093

Interquartile range = Q3 - Q1

= 25.670103093 - 16.153846154

= 9.5162569392

Approximately = 9.5

Inter Quartile range = 9.5

Find the least common multiple of 5 and 2.

That would be 10.

That means we have to multiply the first fraction by 2/2 and the second one by 5/5

-3/5*2/2

Multiply the numerators together and the denominators together.

-6/10

Repeat with the second fraction.

-8/2*5/5

write the equation of a line in any form that is parallel 2y = 4x + 8 through the point of (1,3) plz and thank you

Answers

Answer:

y = 2x+1

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]2y =4x+8\\\\ Write \:in \: y =mx+b \:form\\\\\frac{2y}{2} = \frac{4x}{2} +\frac{8}{2} \\\\y =2x +4\\m =2\\(1,3) =(x_1,y_1)\\Substitute\:values\:into\:point-slope\:form\\\\y-y_1=m(x-x_1)\\y-3=2(x-1)\\y-3 = 2x-2\\y=2x-2+3\\y =2x+1[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Hey, there!!

Here, the given point is (1,3).

Now, Using one point formula we need to find the equation of the line passing through point (1,3).

Now,

[tex](y - y1) = m1(x - x1)[/tex]

Keeping values,

[tex](y - 3) = m1(x - 1)[/tex]

It is the 1st equation.

Similary, you have another equation,

2y = 4x + 8..............2nd equation.

or, 4x - 2y +8 =0

M2 from equation 2,

[tex] = \frac{ - coeff. \: of \: x}{coeff. \: of \: y} [/tex]

[tex] = \frac{ - 4}{ - 2} [/tex]

Therefore, m2 = 2

Now,

As per the condition of parallel lines,

m1 = m2 = 2

Now, substituting the value of m1 in equation 1st.

(y-3) = 2 (x-1)

y-3 = 2x - 2

or, 2x-y+1 = 0 ......is the required equation.

Find an equation of the line passing through the point (−6,−5) that is parallel to the line y=4/3x−5

Answers

Answer:

y = [tex]\frac{4}{3}[/tex] x + 3

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

y = [tex]\frac{4}{3}[/tex] x - 5 ← is in slope- intercept form

with slope m = [tex]\frac{4}{3}[/tex]

Parallel lines have equal slopes, thus

y = [tex]\frac{4}{3}[/tex] x + c ← is the partial equation

To find c substitute (- 6, - 5) into the partial equation

- 5 = - 8 + c ⇒ c = - 5 + 8 = 3

y = [tex]\frac{4}{3}[/tex] x + 3 ← equation of parallel line

How many inches are in 14 feet, 8 inches? Enter only the number. Do not include units

Answers

Answer:

176

Step-by-step explanation:

14x12 = 168 + 8 = 176

There are 176 inches in 14 feet, 8 inches.

To find the total number of inches in 14 feet, 8 inches, we need to convert the feet to inches and then add the inches.

So, 14 feet =  14 x 12

= 168 inches.

Adding the extra 8 inches, the total is:

= 168 inches + 8 inches

= 176 inches.

Therefore, there are 176 inches in 14 feet, 8 inches.

A sector of a circle of radius has an area of . Find the central angle of the sector. Do not round any intermediate computations. Round your answer to the nearest tenth

Answers

Answer:

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is not complete, But I would show how to solve the problem

The area of a sector of a circle with radius r and a subtended central angle  θ in degree has an area of:

Area = [tex]\frac{\theta}{360}*\pi r^2[/tex]

Where θ is in degrees.

If the central angle is in radian, then the area of the sector is given as:

[tex]Area=\frac{\theta}{2\pi}*\pi r^2\\ Area=\frac{\theta}{2}* r^2[/tex]

Let us assume A circle has a radius of 2.5 mm a sector of the circle has a central angle of 4 pi/3 radians.

Therefore the radius (r) = 2.5 mm and the central angle (θ) = 4π/3

Therefore:

[tex]Area=\frac{\theta}{2}*r^2\\ \\Area=\frac{\frac{4\pi}{3} }{2} *2.5^2=13.1\ mm^2\\[/tex]
