Answer:

More than 50

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve, we need to first see that the function is h(n). Picking main points from the question statement:

  • h(n) is the product of all even integers (From 2 to n)
  • p is the smallest factor of h(100)+1
  • h(100)+1 , here n=100

From here, we can write h(100) as:

h(100) = 2 * 4 * 6 * 8 * ...... * 100

h(100) = 2^{50} * (1*2*3*......*50)= 2^{50} * 50!

so,

h(100)+1 =(2^{50} * 50! )+1

Now two numbers,

h(100) and h(100)+1 are consecutive integers and since they are consecutive so they are co-prime. Hence they only have common factor of 1. Example, 13 and 14 have only common factor of 1

As h(100) has all prime numbers from 1 to 50 and according to above statement h(100)+1 won't have any prime factor from 1 to 50, so the smallest prime factor p is greater than 50.

On Saturday, you bowl at Mar vista Bowl, where renting shoes costs $2 and each game bowled is $3.50. On Sunday, you bowl at Pinz
7nadin3 [17]

Answer:

  • 12 games

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of games is g

<u>Total cost at Mar Vista:</u>

  • 3.5g + 2

<u>Total cost at Pinz:</u>

  • 3.25g + 5

<u>Since same amount spent in both places, we have:</u>

  • 3.5g + 2 = 3.25g + 5
  • 3.5g - 3.25 = 5 - 2
  • 0.25g = 3
  • g = 3/0.25
  • g = 12
