What proportion of the first 10,000 natural numbers contain a 3

Mathematics

we know that

It is much easier to compute the number of numbers that do not contain a 3.

In the first 10 numbers 9 do not contain a 3.

In the first 100 numbers 81 do not contain a 3. (This is because these numbers are formed by selecting a digit out of

[0, 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9] for the first position and another digit out of the same set for the last position and this may be done in

9*9 = 81 ways.

In the first 1000 numbers, reasoning as above, there are

9^{3} numbers that do not contain a 3.

Now the pattern should be becoming obvious.

In the first 10^{n} numbers there are 9^{n} numbers that do not contain a 3.

So

In the first 10^{4} numbers there are 9^{4} numbers that do not contain a 3.

9^{4}= 6,561

10,000- 6,561= 3,439

Thus

the ratio of those numbers that do contain a 3 over the total is equal to

Ratio=\frac{3,439}{10,000} \\ \\ Ratio=0.3439

therefore

the answer is

0.3439

In the first 10 -> 10 - 9 = 1 (contain a 3).
In the first 100 -> 100 - 9 * 9 = 19 (contain a 3).
In the first 10^n -> 10^n - 9^n  (contain a 3).




So for 10^4 -> 10^4 - 9^4 = 10.000 - 6.561 = 3.439 


<u>The answer is 3.439 numbers contain a 3 in the first 10.000</u>

What is the inverse function of d(x) = 2x - 4?
Naddik [55]
Let d(x) = 2x - 4

Or

y = 2x - 4

We have replace x = y

x = 2y - 4

Now Isolate "y"

x + 4 = 2y

Pass "2" dividing

(x + 4) / 2 = y

y = x/2 + 2

Or

d(x)^-1 = x/2 + 2
