Hello :
all n in N ; n(n+1)(n+2) = 3a a in N or : <span>≡ 0 (mod 3)
1 ) n </span><span>≡ 0 ( mod 3)...(1)
n+1 </span>≡ 1 ( mod 3)...(2)
n+2 ≡ 2 ( mod 3)...(3)
by (1), (2), (3) : n(n+1)(n+2) ≡ 0×1×2 ( mod 3) : ≡ 0 (mod 3)
2) n ≡ 1 ( mod 3)...(1)
n+1 ≡ 2 ( mod 3)...(2)
n+2 ≡ 3 ( mod 3)...(3)
by (1), (2), (3) : n(n+1)(n+2) ≡ 1×2 × 3 ( mod 3) : ≡ 0 (mod 3) , 6≡ 0 (mod)
3) n ≡ 2 ( mod 3)...(1)
n+1 ≡ 3 ( mod 3)...(2)
n+2 ≡ 4 ( mod 3)...(3)
by (1), (2), (3) : n(n+1)(n+2) ≡ 2×3 × 4 ( mod 3) : ≡ 0 (mod 3) , 24≡ 0 (mod3)
Answer: The third and fourth problem are linear
Step-by-step explanation:
3rd problem follows a pattern
X 6 5 4 3
Y 21 15 10 6
6x3+3=21
5x3=15
4x2+2=10
3x2=6
Problem 4 follows a pattern as well
X value goes up 1, Y value goes up 4
good lesson and good day ^-^
Answer:
2 - 5x
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer is in the problem:
2 less than = 2 minus a number ( 2- )
five times a number = 5x ( we don't know what number five is being multiplied by, so we put a variable)
