I need help on b-e. THANK YOU blem 3. Consider the following statement: 1 For all n EN, 12 +22 +32 + ... +n? n(n+1)(2n +1) (a) Prove the statement () using mathematical induction. We use the term closed form expression to describe an algebraic expression that involves only a fixed amount of operations (i.e. that doesn't involving adding n terms). So for example, in the proposition above, the sum of n consecutive natural numbers (12 +22 + ... +...
According to the Journal of Irreproducible Results, any obtuse angle is a right angle! Here istheir argument.Given the obtuse angle x, we make a quadrilateral ABCD with DAB = x, and ABC =90◦, andAD = BC. Say the perpendicular bisector toDC meets the perpendicular bisector toAB at P. ThenPA = PB andPC = PD. So the trianglesPADandPBC have equal sidesand are congruent. Thus PAD = PBC. But PAB is isosceles, hence PAB = PBA.Subtracting,...

How to solve this Python problem? Calling all units, B-and-E in progress def is..kerfectbeker(n): A positive integer n is said to be a perfect power if it can be expressed as the power b**e for some two integers band e that are both greater than one. (Any positive integer n can always be expressed as the trivial power n**1, so we don't care about that.) For example, the integers 32, 125 and 441 are perfect powers since they equal 2**5,5**3...
