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

How much water does it take to completely fill a small pool that is 10 feet long, 20 feet wide and 10 feet deep?
irinina [24]

Answer:

2,000 feet cubed

Step-by-step explanation:

To find volume, you use the formula Length x Width x Height. When you plug in the numbers from this equation into that formula you get 10 x 20 x 10. 10 x 20 x 10 = 2,000.
