Fan Fiction The SeeDs

I'm no good at math either. I'm good at Science, History and Spanish. Those are the ones I like the most anyway. Math is lame.

Well they are in this damn Pre-Calculus book that our teacher told us to buy -__- and that we...



rarely used.....-__-

Mathematical Induction is a method for providing that statement involving natural numbers are true for all natural numbers. For example.

If we have the following statement....
1 + 2 + 3 +...+ n = n(n + 1)/2

In which the following two conditions must satisfied:
Condition I: the statement is true for the natural number 1.
Condition II: the statement is true for some natural number K, and it is also true for the next natural number K + 1.

First we show that the formula n(n +1)/2 is true when n = 1

n(n+1)/2 = 1
1 (1 + 1)/2 = 1
1 x 2/2 = 1
2/2 = 1
1 = 1

Then we assume that this formula holds some natural number K. This is our Hypothesis.
n = k

1 + 2 + 3 +...+ k = k(k +1)/2


Finally we need to show that k + 1 is real for all natural numbers:

1 + 2 + 3 +...+ k + (k + 1) = [1 + 2 + 3 +...+ k] + (k + 1)

We replace [1 + 2 + 3 +...+ k] with our hypothesis of mathematical induction, which is k(k + 1)/2

1 + 2 + 3 +...+ k + (k + 1) = k(k + 1)/2 + (k + 1)

= [k^2 + k]/2 + [2(k + 1)/2]

= [k (k + 1) + 2k + 2]/2

= [k^2 + 3k + 2]/2

= [(k + 1)(k + 2)]/2





Since condition two is also satisfied, we conclude that our formula is true for all natural numbers n.




PS: I used ^ to represent the exponent of K, like for example: 3^2 = 3 x 3 = 9

Ah, I understood...I tried it with 2, and the first step ended up with an answer of 3...
Gah...I don't even know what a natural number is...:'(
At any rate, it must have been tiring to learn all the in 1 month..Congrats it's over.
 
*sighs* tzadekian, this isn't an rp. your supposed to fill out a form that looks like this:

name:
weapon:
rank: (you are SeeD class E)

and the name and weapon is for the RPG
 
@Tzadekain, welcome to the SeeD's. As soon as Julius gets on, I'm sure he'll be glad to welcome you just as I will. ^_^ I'm Zeria Iiyasei. If you need anything, let me know and I'll do my best to help out, though you won't see me on weekends. But any other time, just ask me something and I'll be glad to do it. Your first step as a SeeD Class E, is to get to over 50 posts and begin your journey in the RPG. Hope to see you there soon ^_^

@Julius, O____________O. *faints from math overload* can't....do.....that....problem.....
