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:
I think B
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
a) 4(t - r) = 4(6 - 2.5) = 4 x 3.5 = 14
b) 4t - r = (4 x 6) - 2.5 = 24 - 2.5 = 21.5
c) 2(3t - 10) = 2(3 x 6 - 10) = 2(18 - 10) = 2 x 8 = 16
d) (t - 2)² = (6 - 2)² = 4² = 4 x 4 = 16
e) cannot decipher the equation
f) 6r + t = 6 x 2.5 + 6 = 15 + 6 = 21
Answer:
7a........they are similar because none of the sides are equal
Answer:
Associative Property
For multiplication, the rule is "a(bc) = (ab)c"; in numbers, this means 2(3×4) = (2×3)4.
