Induction 4 Solutions
... What happens when k = 1? The base case covered k = 0. The k = 1 case isn’t covered by the basis. But it’s not covered by the induction either! This is because F1 is not defined recursively—the recursive part of the definition starts with k = 2. We would have F1 = F0 + F–1 and there isn’t F–1. Now fo ...

Exponents Study Guide
... Writing 2 as a factor one million times would be a very time-consuming and tedious task. A better way to approach this is to use exponents. Exponential notation is an easier way to write a number as a product of many factors. BaseExponent The exponent tells us how many times the base is used as a fa ...

Elementary mathematics
Elementary mathematics consists of mathematics topics frequently taught at the primary or secondary school levels. The most basic topics in elementary mathematics are arithmetic and geometry. Beginning in the last decades of the 20th century, there has been an increased emphasis on problem solving. Elementary mathematics is used in everyday life in such activities as making change, cooking, buying and selling stock, and gambling. It is also an essential first step on the path to understanding science.In secondary school, the main topics in elementary mathematics are algebra and trigonometry. Calculus, even though it is often taught to advanced secondary school students, is usually considered college level mathematics.
