prove that 5^(2n - 1) is divisible by 8​

Answers

Answer 1

Your teacher must have made a typo somewhere. The expression 5^(2n-1) is not divisible by 8.

The expression 5^(2n-1) is composed of 2n-1 copies of "5" multiplied together. The key here is that 5 is the only unique prime factor of this number.

On the other hand, 8 = 2*2*2 = 2^3 showing that 2 is the only prime factor for this number. At this point, we can see that there's no way that 5^(2n-1) is divisible by 8. It all comes down to the clash of the primes 5 and 2 not matching up, and having nothing in common.

Let's consider a few concrete examples:

If n = 1, then 5^(2n-1) = 5^(2*1-1) = 5^1 = 5 which is not divisible by 8. The number 5/8 = 0.625 isn't an integer.If n = 2, then 5^(2n-1) = 5^(2*2-1) = 5^3 = 125 which is also not a multiple of 8. The number 125/8 = 15.625 isn't an integer.

I'll let you try other natural numbers for n, and you'll find that [tex]\frac{5^{2n-1}}{8}[/tex] isn't an integer.

Answer:

  3(4/3)^2543

Step-by-step explanation:

Using logarithms base 2, we have ...

  [tex](a_n)^{\log{a_n}}=(a_{n+1})^{\log{a_{n-1}}}\\\\(\log{a_n})(\log{a_n}) = (\log{a_{n-1}})(\log{a_{n+1}}) \\\\ \dfrac{\log{a_{n+1}}}{\log{a_{n}}}=\dfrac{\log{a_n}}{\log{a_{n-1}}}=\dots\dfrac{\log_2{16}}{\log_2{8}}=\dfrac{4}{3}[/tex]

That is, the ratio of each term to the previous is a constant equal to 4/3. This is the definition of a geometric sequence. This sequence has first term 3 and common ratio 4/3, so the general term is ...

  [tex]\log_2 a_n=3\left(\dfrac{4}{3}\right)^{n-1}[/tex]

and the 2544th term is ...

6 adults & 4 senior citizens have to pay $228 while 13 adults and 7 senior citizens have to pay $459 to visit an exhibition at the Art science Museum . Find the total amount 2 adults & Senior citizen have to pay to visit the exhibition.​

Answers

Answer: Rs. 69

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the amount that the adults have to pay be Rs. “x” and the amount that the senior citizens have to pay be Rs. “y”.

Step 1:

According to the question, we get

Equation 1:

6x + 4y = 228  

Equation 2:

13x + 7y = 459  

Step 2:

Then, by multiplying equation 1 by 7 & equation 2 by 4, we get

7 * [6x + 4y = 228]

⇒ 42x + 28y = 1596 …. (iii)  

And,

4 * [13x + 7y = 459]

⇒ 52x + 28y = 1836 …. (iv)

Step 3:

Now, Subtracting eq. (iii) from eq. (iv), we get

52x + 28y = 1836

42x + 28y = 1596

(-)    (-)         (-)

---------------------------

10 x = 240

----------------------------

⇒ x = 240/10 = 24

Substituting the value of x in Eq. (1)

(6*24) + 4y = 228  

⇒ y = [228 - 144]/4 = 21

Step 4:

Thus,  

The total amount that 2 adults and a senior citizen have to pay to visit the exhibition is,

= 2x + y

= (2*24) + 21 ….. [substituting x= 24 & y = 21]

= Rs. 69

{2x + 3y = 10 -6x + y = 20 si se resuelve por el metodo de igualación ¿ cual es la igualdad que resulta si se despeja la variable y de ambas ecuaciones?​

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

So im gonna be using the substitution method because its easier

We divide the equations into two and solve for y

-6x+y=20

We add 6x to both sides

-6x+y+6x=20+6x

y=6x+20

Now we plug in 6x+20 for y into the other equation

2x+3y=10

2x+3(6x+20)=10 We can simplify now

20x+60=10

20x=-50

take 20 from both sides so its gonna be a fraction

-5/2

We plug in -5/2 for x

y=6(-5/2)+20

y=5

]so therefore x is -5/2 and y is 5

The equality of the expression after removing y by substituting y is 2x + 21 = 10 - 6x + 7 = 20.

What is the equation?

There are many different ways to define an equation. The definition of an equation in algebra is a mathematical statement that demonstrates the equality of 2 mathematical expressions.

More than one variable may be present inside a linear equation. An equation is said to be linear if the maximum power of the variable is consistently unity.

A formula known as an equation uses the same sign to denote the equality of two expressions.

In another word, the equation must be constrained with some constraints.

Given the expression,

2x + 3y = 10 -6x + y = 20

So,

2x + 3y = 20 and  10 - 6x + y = 20

To remove y we need to find y and substitute.

So by substituting,

10 - 6(20 - 3y)/2 + y = 20

y = 7

So,

2x + 21 = 10 - 6x + 7 = 20

Hence "The equality of the expression after removing y by substituting y is 2x + 21 = 10 - 6x + 7 = 20".

find the width of radius r if the width w of the shaded region is 2cm and its area is 176cm^2, use 22/7 for pi (its a full circle)

Answers

The area of a shape is the amount of space it can occupy.

The value of r is 13

From the question (see attachment), we have:

[tex]\mathbf{A =176}[/tex] --- area of the shaded region

[tex]\mathbf{w = 2}[/tex] --- the width of the shaded region

The area of the complete circle would be:

[tex]\mathbf{A_1 =\pi (r + w)^2}[/tex]

The area of the small circle is:

[tex]\mathbf{A_2 =\pi r^2}[/tex]

So, the area of the shaded region is:

[tex]\mathbf{A = A_1 - A_2}[/tex]

Substitute known values

[tex]\mathbf{176 =\pi (r + w)^2 - \pi r^2 }[/tex]

Substitute 2 for w

[tex]\mathbf{176 =\pi (r + 2)^2 - \pi r^2 }[/tex]

Expand

[tex]\mathbf{176 =\pi (r^2 + 4r + 4) - \pi r^2 }[/tex]

Open brackets

[tex]\mathbf{176 =\pi r^2 + 4\pi r + 4\pi - \pi r^2 }[/tex]

Cancel out line terms

[tex]\mathbf{176 =4\pi r + 4\pi }[/tex]

Divide through by 4

[tex]\mathbf{44 =\pi r + \pi }[/tex]

Factor out pi

[tex]\mathbf{44 =\pi(r+ 1) }[/tex]

Divide through by pi

[tex]\mathbf{r + 1= \frac{44}{ \pi} }[/tex]

Substitute 22/7 for pi

[tex]\mathbf{r + 1= \frac{44}{ 22/7} }[/tex]

Using a calculator, we have

[tex]\mathbf{r + 1= 14}[/tex]

Solve for r

[tex]\mathbf{r= 14 -1}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{r= 13}[/tex]

Hence, the value of r is 13

The value of [tex]c[/tex] such that the line [tex]y = 2\cdot x + 3[/tex] is tangent to the parabola [tex]y = c\cdot x^{2}[/tex] is [tex]-\frac{1}{3}[/tex].

If [tex]y = 2\cdot x + 3[/tex] is a line tangent to the parabola [tex]y = c\cdot x^{2}[/tex], then we must observe the following condition, that is, the slope of the line is equal to the first derivative of the parabola:

[tex]2\cdot c \cdot x = 2[/tex] (1)

Then, we have the following system of equations:

[tex]y = 2\cdot x + 3[/tex] (1)

[tex]y = c\cdot x^{2}[/tex] (2)

[tex]c\cdot x = 1[/tex] (3)

Whose solution is shown below:

By (3):

[tex]c =\frac{1}{x}[/tex]

(3) in (2):

[tex]y = x[/tex] (4)

(4) in (1):

[tex]y = -3[/tex]

[tex]x = -3[/tex]

[tex]c = -\frac{1}{3}[/tex]

The value of [tex]c[/tex] such that the line [tex]y = 2\cdot x + 3[/tex] is tangent to the parabola [tex]y = c\cdot x^{2}[/tex] is [tex]-\frac{1}{3}[/tex].
