It quickly becomes apparent that 174 is much too large, so n must be 144.The value of the n is 144.

Taking the given equation modulo 2,3, and 5, respectively, we have

n⁵≡(mod 2)

n⁵≡(mod 3)

n⁵≡( mod 5)

By either Fermat's Little Theorem (FLT) or inspection, we get

n≡(mod 2)

n≡(mod 3)

n≡( mod 5)

By either the Chinese Remainder Theorem (CRT) or inspection, we get n≡ 24 ( mod 30)

It is clear that n>133, so the possible values for n are 144,174,204,...Note that

n⁵ = 133⁵ + 110⁵ + 84⁵ + 27⁵

n⁵ < 133⁵ + 110⁵ +( 84 + 27)⁵

n⁵ =133⁵ + 110⁵ + 111⁵

n⁵ < 3.133⁵

From which (n/133)⁵ < 3

If n>= 174 then,

(n/133)⁵ > 1.3⁵

(n/133)⁵ = 3

which arrives at a contradiction. Therefore, we conclude that n=144

Solve 2(x + 1) = 2x + 2. (1 point)<br> ♡<br> 0<br> O<br> All real numbers<br> No solution<br> 1
sattari [20]

Answer:

B. All real numbers

Step-by-step explanation:

2(x + 1) = 2x + 2

Distribute the 2 inside the parenthesis.

2x + 2 = 2x + 2

Since the two expressions are equal and will stay equal with any value, the answer to this question is All real numbers.

Example:

2(x + 1) = 2x + 2

2(5 + 1) = 2(5) + 2

2(6) = 10 + 2

12 = 12

2(x + 1) = 2x + 2

2(150 + 1) = 2(150) + 2

2(151) = 300 + 2

302 = 302

The expression is equal for any value put in x.

Use the given information to determine if the geometric series converges or
lana66690 [7]

Answer:

c) The series diverges. There is no sum.

Step-by-step explanation:

A geometric series is a series of the form:

S = \Sigma_{i=0}^{n} a\cdot r^{i}, \forall i \in \mathbb{N}_{O}

Where:

a - First term of the series, dimensionless.

r - Common ratio, dimensionless.

A geometric series converges only if |r| < 1. As r > 1, the geometric series diverges. Hence, the right answer is C.
