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.

18.84

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for circumference is 2(pi)r, I think. The radius is 3. 3 times 2 is 6. 6 times 3.14 is around 18, I think.
