Let p (n) be the statement that a postage of n cents can be formed using just 3-cent stamps and 5-cent stamps. the parts of this exercise outline a strong induction proof that p (n) is true for n ≥ 8.
(a) show that the statements p(8), p(9), and p(10) are true, completing the basis step of the proof.
(b) what is the inductive hypothesis of the proof?
(c) what do you need to prove in the inductive step?
(d) complete the inductive step for k ≥ 10.
(e) is p(n) true for n ≥ 8 if you have only one 5-cent stamp? only two 5-cent stamps?

step-by-step explanation:

the 2000 florida legislature amended section 322.05, florida statutes, changing the requirements to obtain a class e license for a driver under the age of 18 holding a learner's license. the following requirements must be met in order to obtain a regular class e license if a learner's license is issued on or after october 1, 2000:

must hold a learner's license for at least 12 months or until the 18th birthday.

must have no convictions 12 months from the issue date of the learner's license.

may have one traffic conviction within 12 months from the issue date of the learner's license if adjudication is withheld.

a parent, legal guardian, or responsible adult over 21 years old must certify that the driver has 50 hours driving experience, including 10 hours of night time driving.

delaney would like to make a 5lb nut mixture that is 60% peanuts and 40% almonds.

she has several pounds of peanuts and several pounds of a mixture that is 20% peanuts and 80% almonds.

let 'p' represent the number of pounds of peanuts needed to make the new mixture, and  

let 'm' represent the number of pounds of the 80% almond-20% peanut mixture.

:

p + m = 5

therefore

m = (5-p)

write an equation based on the percent of peanuts

1p + .2m = .6(5)

replace m with (5-p)

p + .2(5-p) = .6(5)

p + 1 - .2p = 3

p - .2p = 3 - 1

.8p = 2

p = 2/.8

p = 2.5 lbs of peanuts required

then

5 - 2.5 = 2.5 lbs of the peanut/almond mixture required

:

a) what is the system that models this situation?

p + m = 5

1p + .2m = .6(5)
