Answer:

Therefore n is divisible by 9 if and only if  a_k+a_{k-1}+.........+a_1+a_0 is also divisible by 9.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given number is

n= a_ka_{k-1}.....a_2a_1a_0

This means

n=a_k10^k +a_{k-1}10^{k-1}+.....+a_110^1+a_0

Here we need to prove

a_k+a_{k-1}+......+a_2+a_1+a_0 is divisible by 9.

We know that

10  ≡ 1 mod 9

It means if 10 divides by 9 the remainder = 1.

n=a_k10^k +a_{k-1}10^{k-1}+.....+a_110^1+a_0

\Rightarrow n \equiv a_k(1)^k+a_{k-1}(1)^{k-1}+.........+a_1(1)^1+a_0 mod 9

\Rightarrow n \equiv a_k+a_{k-1}+.........+a_1+a_0 mod 9

Therefore n is divisible by 9 if a_k+a_{k-1}+.........+a_1+a_0 is also divisible by 9.

And conversely is also true.

Therefore n is divisible by 9 if and only if  a_k+a_{k-1}+.........+a_1+a_0 is also divisible by 9.

Typing "Claude Monet" in the subject field makes the most sense, an author is someone who holds a big part in writing a story for literature, depending on what that work is, and your not looking for new york or an art museum in the library, so answer C is the best one

Solve for y. x-4=y^2
Leya [2.2K]
X - 4 = y^2
Since you want y to the first power you have to take the square root of y^2.
If you take the square root of the right side you also must take the square root of the left side.
+ - sqrt (x-4) = y
y = sqrt (x - 4)
and y = - sqrt (x - 4)
