Total money = 150 + 95 + 210 + 45 + 55 + 165 = $720
Total months is 6
Mean = 720 / 6 = $120
Assume a is not divisible by 10. (otherwise the problem is trivial).
<span>Define R(m) to be the remainder of a^m when divided by 10. </span>
<span>R can take on one of 9 possible values, namely, 1,2,...,9. </span>
<span>Now, consider R(1),R(2),......R(10). At least 2 of them must have the sames value (by the Pigeonhole Principle), say R(i) = R(j) ( j>i ) </span>
<span>Then, a^j - a^i is divisible by 10.</span>
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Find the slope, denoted m
This is done by using the formula m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)
The slope for this problem is
m = [-3 - (-1)]/[8 - (-2)]
m = -2/10 = -1/5
