@mathmath333 @Nnesha
OpenStudy (cwrw238):
Sn = n^2 + 7n
so what is the value of S1?
OpenStudy (cwrw238):
just substitute 1 for n in the above formula and work it out
OpenStudy (mathmath333):
are u required to use mathmatical induction here

like in the previous problem
OpenStudy (anonymous):
the qustion dont ask for it @mathmath333
OpenStudy (mathmath333):
ok so sbustitue the values of
\(n=1,2~and~3\)
in
\(n2 + 7n\)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
i am unable to post wait a sec i already did that

S(1) : 2 is a factor of 1^2 + 7*1 ,
S(2) : 2 is a factor of 2^2 + 7*2
OpenStudy (anonymous):
are S(1) and S(2) true
OpenStudy (anonymous):
i did this but my teacher said : Substitute values of 1, 2 and 3 for n and then work out the formula.
Are each of these a multiple of two or even?
OpenStudy (mathmath333):
what is
\(1^2 + 7*1=\)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
i guess i already did that?

8
OpenStudy (mathmath333):
is \(2\) a factor of \(8\)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
then 53 and S(3) is 30
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yes
OpenStudy (anonymous):
2*4=8

8 and 30 is multiple of 30
OpenStudy (mathmath333):
so is it true for \(S_1\)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
S(2) : 2 is a factor of 2^2 + 7*2 =53
S(3): 2 is a factor of 3^2+7*3=30
are S(1) and S(3) is true
OpenStudy (anonymous):
am i correct? @mathmath333
OpenStudy (mathmath333):
what is \((2^2+7\times 2)\)
