Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The LCD here is 10.
Multiplying numerator and denominator of (4*10^2) by 10 results in:
40*10^3
-------------
      10
and rewriting (2x10^-1) with positive exponent in the denominator results in:
    2
---------
     10
So, before simplification, this difference comes out to be:
 40000 - 2        39998            19999
----------------- = ---------------- or ------------
         10                   10                   5
 
        
             
        
        
        
Answer:
To prove that 3·4ⁿ + 51 is divisible by 3 and 9, we have;
 3·4ⁿ is divisible by 3 and 51 is divisible by 3
Where we have;
 =  3·4ⁿ + 51 
 = 3·4ⁿ⁺¹ + 51 
 - 
 = 3·4ⁿ⁺¹ + 51 - (3·4ⁿ + 51) = 3·4ⁿ⁺¹ - 3·4ⁿ
 - 
 = 3( 4ⁿ⁺¹ - 4ⁿ) = 3×4ⁿ×(4 - 1) = 9×4ⁿ
∴ 
 - 
 is divisible by 9
Given that we have for S₀ =  3×4⁰ + 51 = 63 = 9×7
∴ S₀ is divisible by 9
Since  
 - 
 is divisible by 9, we have;
 
 - 
 =  
 - 
 is divisible by 9 
Therefore 
 is divisible by 9 and 
  is divisible by 9 for all positive integers n

The entire shipment contains 9 2/7 tons of sugar
Step-by-step explanation:
- Step 1: Find the total amount of sugar in the entire shipment. 
 
Number of containers in the shipment = 4 1/3 = 13/3
Number of tons of sugar = 2 1/7 = 15/7
⇒ Total amount of sugar = 13/3 × 15/7 = 65/7 = 9 2/7 tons
