Fermat's little theorem states that
a^p≡a mod p

If we divide both sides by a, then
a^{p-1}≡1 mod p
=>
a^{17-1}≡1 mod 17
a^{16}≡1 mod 17

Rewrite
a^{1000000} mod 17  as
=(a^{16})^{62500} mod 17
and apply Fermat's little theorem
=(1)^{62500} mod 17
=>
=(1) mod 17

So we conclude that
a^{1000000}≡1 mod 17

A water wheel has a radius measuring between 13 feet and 24 feet. The wheel is able to turn 7π9 radians from its starting positi
madam [21]

Answer:

31.76 ft and 58.64 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The radius measures between 13 feet and 24 feet.

The wheel is able to turn 7π/9 radians before getting stuck.

We need to find the range of distances that the wheel could spin before getting stuck. That is, the length of arc.

Length of an arc is given as:

L = \frac{\theta}{2\pi} * 2\pi r

where θ = central angle = 7π/9 radians

r = radius of the circle

Therefore, for 13 feet:

L = \frac{7\pi}{18 \pi} * 2 * \pi * 13\\\\L = 31.76 ft

For 24 feet:

L = \frac{7\pi}{18 \pi} * 2 * \pi * 24\\\\L = 58.64 ft

The wheel could spin between 31.76 ft and 58.64 ft before getting stuck.

What is 119 over 8 in its simplest form?
ivolga24 [154]
119/8 is already in simplest form. However, if you attempt to change it to a mixed number the correct answer would be 14 7/8 (7 over 8).

Hope I helped!

When graphed, the three lines y = -x + 2, y = 2x − 1, and y = x − 2 intersect in such a way that they form a triangle.
ad-work [718]

The answer is C

Insert y=X-2 into the equation y=-X+2

You will get the point (2,0)

Insert y=2X-1 into the same equation

you will get the point (1,1).

Without solving for the last point

you will realize that your answer is C

Note: This approach is appropriate for solving objective questions
