The pet shop in Mochdewton sells only guinea pigs and hamsters. Each guinea pig costs twice as much as a hamster. A local elementary school purchased 5 guinea pigs and 3 hamsters. If the transaction had been for 3 guinea pigs and 5 hamsters, the cost would have been $10 less. What is the price of a guinea pig? [GuineaPig] What is the price of a hamster?

Prove the following statement using induction. “For all positive integers n, 3|(n3 + 2n).” Use good proof technique. Note: To avoid the need for typing superscript exponents, you may use the expression ‘n^3’ to represent n3. Grading rubric:1 pt. State the basis step, then prove it.1 pt. State the inductive hypothesis.2 pt. Complete the proof of the inductive step.1 pt. State the final conclusion at the end of the proof.1 pt. Label each part: the basis step, inductive hypothesis, inductive step, and conclusion.
