I suppose the claim is 5 \mid 6^n - 1 for n\in\Bbb N.

When n=1, we have 6^1 - 1 = 6 - 1 = 5, and of course 5 divides 5.

Assume the claim holds for n=k, that 5 \mid 6^k - 1. We want to use this to show it holds for n=k+1, that 5 \mid 6^{k+1} - 1.

We have

6^{k+1} - 1 = \left(6^{k+1} - 6\right) + \left(6 - 1) = 6\left(6^k - 1\right) + 5

Since 5 \mid 6^k - 1, we can write 6^k - 1 = 5\ell for some integer \ell. Then

6^{k+1} - 1 = 6\cdot5\ell + 5 = 5(6\ell + 1)

which is clearly divisible by 5. QED

A chemist needs 130 milliliters of a 47% solution but has only 35% and 87% solutions available. Find how many milliliters of eac
choli [55]

Answer: Amount of 35% solution required = 100 milliliters

Amount of 87% solution required  = 30 milliliters

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Total solution required =  130 milliliters

Let x = Amount of 35% solution (in milliliters).

Then, Amount of 87% solution required = 130 - x

As per given,

Concentration = 0.35x +0.87(130-x)=0.47(130)

0.35x +113.1-0.87x=61.1\\\\\Rightarrow\ -0.87x+0.35x=61.1-113.1\\\\\Rightarrow\ -0.52 x= -52\\\\\Rightarrow\ x=\dfrac{52}{0.52}=100

Hence, Amount of 35% solution required = 100 milliliters

Amount of 87% solution required  = 130-100 milliliters =30 milliliters
