Hello : 
all n in N ; n(n+1)(n+2) = 3a    a in  N  or : <span>≡ 0 (mod 3)
1 ) n </span><span>≡ 0 ( mod 3)...(1)

     n+1 </span>≡ 1 ( mod 3)...(2)
      n+2 ≡ 2 ( mod 3)...(3)
by (1), (2), (3)  : n(n+1)(n+2) ≡ 0×1×2   ( mod 3)   : ≡ 0 (mod 3)
2) n ≡ 1 ( mod 3)...(1)

     n+1 ≡ 2 ( mod 3)...(2)
      n+2 ≡ 3 ( mod 3)...(3)
by (1), (2), (3)  : n(n+1)(n+2) ≡ 1×2 × 3  ( mod 3)   : ≡ 0 (mod 3) , 6≡ 0 (mod)
 3) n  ≡ 2 ( mod 3)...(1)

     n+1 ≡ 3 ( mod 3)...(2)
      n+2 ≡ 4 ( mod 3)...(3)
by (1), (2), (3)  : n(n+1)(n+2) ≡ 2×3 × 4  ( mod 3)   : ≡ 0 (mod 3) , 24≡ 0      (mod3)

Determine if the following lines are parallel, perpendicular and neither.
Ivenika [448]

Answer:

parallel lines

Step-by-step explanation:

If two lines are parallel it means that they never intersect

the only way for this to happen is when the slopes are identical (and the y intercepts are different)

This is the case

Leo, Kush and Mai share some money in the ratio 3:5:8
Marta_Voda [28]

Answer:

The total amount of money that they shared is \£6,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x-----> amount of money Leo shares

y-----> amount of money Kush shares

z-----> amount of money Mai shares

we know that

\frac{x}{y} =\frac{3}{5}

x=\frac{3}{5}y -----> equation A

\frac{y}{z} =\frac{5}{8}

z=\frac{8}{5}y -----> equation B

\frac{x}{z} =\frac{3}{8}

z=\frac{8}{3}x -----> equation C

y=x+750 ------> equation D

substitute equation A in equation D and solve for y

y=\frac{3}{5}y+750

y-\frac{3}{5}y=750

\frac{2}{5}y=750

y=750*5/2=\£1,875

Find the value of x (equation A)

x=\frac{3}{5}(1,875)=\£1,125

Find the value of z (equation C)

z=\frac{8}{3}(1,125)=\£3,000

therefore

The total amount of money is equal to

x+y+z=\£1,125+\£1,875+\£3,000=\£6,000
