Let the functiоn f : ℕ → ℝ be defined recursively аs fоllоws: Initiаl Condition: f (0) = 18Recursive Pаrt: f (n + 1) = 1/9 * f (n), for n > 0 Consider how to prove the following statement about this given function f using induction. For all nonnegative integers n, f (n) = 2/9(n-1). Select the best response for each question below about how this proof by induction should be done. Q1. Which of the following would be a correct Basis step for this proof? [Basis] A. For n = 0, f(n) = f(0) = 18; also 2/9(n-1) = 2/9-1 = 2*9 = 18, so f(n) = 2/9(n-1) for n = 0. B. For n = k, assume f(k) = 2/9(k-1) for some integer k ≥ 0, so f(n) = 2/9(n-1) for n = k. C. For n = k+1, f(k+1) = 2/9(k+1-1) when f(k) = 2/9(k-1) for some integer k ≥ 0, so f(n) = 2/9(n-1) for n = k+1. D. For n = 1, f(n) = f(1) = 1/9*f(0) = 1/9*18 = 2; also 2/9(n-1) = 2/90 = 2, so f(n) = 3n for n = 1. Q2. Which of the following would be a correct Inductive Hypothesis for this proof? [InductiveHypothesis] A. Prove f(k) = 2/9(k-1) for some integer k ≥ 0. B. Assume f(k+1) = 2/9(k) when f(k) = 2/9(k-1) for some integer k ≥ 0. C. Prove f(k) = 2/9(k-1) for all integers k ≥ 0. D. Assume f(k) = 2/9(k-1) for some integer k ≥ 0. Q3. Which of the following would be a correct completion of the Inductive Step for this proof? [InductiveStep] A. f(k+1) = 1/9*f(k), which confirms the recursive part of the definition. B. When the inductive hypothesis is true, f(k+1) = 1/9*f(k) = 1/9*2/9(k-1) = 2/9(k-1)+1 = 2/9(k) = 2/9(k+1)-1 C. When the inductive hypothesis is true, f(k+1) = 2/9(k) = 2/9(k+1)-1 = 1/9*2/9(k-1) = 1/9*f(k), which confirms the recursive part of the definition. D. When f(k+1) = 2/9(k+1)-1 = 2/9(k) = 1/9*2/9(k-1); also f(k+1) = 1/9*f(k), so f(k) = 2/9(k-1), confirming the induction hypothesis. Q4. Which of the following would be a correct conclusion for this proof? [Conclusion] A. By the principle of mathematical induction, f(n+1) =1/9* f(n) for all integers n ≥ 0. B. By the principle of mathematical induction, f(k) = f(k+1) for all integers k ≥ 0. C. By the principle of mathematical induction, f(n) = 2/9(n-1) for all integers n ≥ 0. D. By the principle of mathematical induction, f(k) = 2/9(k-1) implies f(k+1) = 2/9(k) for all integers k ≥ 0.

If the leаrner purchаsed the recоmmended cоmputer аnd attempted tо connect an old scanner he had at home to the new computer, the Operating System would not detect this new hardware. The learner is asked whether he has installed the drivers for this scanner on the computer. Die leerder het die aanbevole rekenaar aangekoop. Hy poog om ń ou skandeerder wat hy by die huis het, te installeer op die rekenaar. Die bedryfstelsel bespeur nie die nuwe hardeware nie. Die leerder word gevra of hy die drywer program vir die skandeerder op die rekenaar geïnstalleer het.
