An integer may be a multiple of 3.
An integer may be 1 greater than a multiple of 3.
An integer may be 2 greater than a multiple of 3.

It is redundant to say an integer is 3 greater than a multiple of 3 (that's just a multiple of 3, we've got it covered).  Same for 4, 5, 6, 7...

Let's consider a number which is a multiple of 3.  Clearly, we can write 3+3+3+3+... until we reach the number.  It can be written as only 3's.

Let's consider a number which is 2 greater than a multiple of 3.  If we subtract 5 from that number, it'll be a multiple of 3.  That means we can write the number as 5+3+3+3+3+...  Of course, the number must be at least 8.

Let's consider a number which is 1 greater than a multiple of 3.  If we subtract 5 from that number, it'll be 2 greater than a multiple of 3.  If we subtract another 5, it'll be a multiple of 3.  That means we can write the number as 5+5+3+3+3+3+...  Of course, the number must be at least 13.

That's it.  We considered all the numbers.  We forgot 9, 10, 11, and 12, but these are easy peasy.

Beautiful question.

Expand the logarithm as much as possible using properties. please help!
Solnce55 [7]

Step-by-step explanation:

log (√1000000x)

Rewrite √1000000x as (1000000x)1/2.

expand long ((1000000x)1/2) by moving 1/2

oby moving logarithm.

1/2 longth (1000000x)

Rewrite

log

(1000000x) as log(1000000)+log(x).

1/2(log(1000000)+log(x))

Logarithm base 10 of 1000000 is 6.

1/2(6+log(x))

Apply the distributive property.

1/2.6+1/2 log(x)

Cancel the common factor of 2.

3+1/2 long(x)

Combine 1/2 and log(x)

3+ long(x)/2
