Hi, What is the lowest positive integer greater than 1, which when divided by 5 or 8 leaves a remainder of 1

1 answer:

3 0

Very interesting question!

Let's try to get something that would work for just 5 for now.
Any of these numbers would leave a remainder of 1 when divided by just 5:
6, 11, 16, 21, 26, 31, 36, 41, 46, 51, 56, 61, 66, 71, 76, 81, 86, ...
Notice that they all look like 5*(something) + 1. Basically, they are all multiples of 5 plus 1.

Let's see what would work for just 8:
9, 17, 25, 33, 41, 49, 57, 65, 73, 81, 89, ...

Are there any matches... AHA! It's 81. This is the lowest positive integer greater than 1 that follows the rule for both 5 and 8.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

(3 - 2i)(3 + 2i)

Expand

(9 + 6i - 6i - 4i^2)

Add

(9 - 4i^2)

Convert i^2

i^2 = ( $\sqrt{-1}$ )^2 = -1

(9 - 4(-1))

Add

(9 + 4)

= 13

How to find horizontal asymptotes with x as an exponent analytically?

tiny-mole [99]

When the base is greater than 1, the value approaches zero as the exponent goes to -∞. When the base is less than 1, the value approaches zero as the exponent goes to ∞. Whatever additions or factors you have that modify the exponential term will modify the asymptote accordingly.
