Answer:

Clare skated $(x+y)\ miles.$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given Distance skated by Mai = x miles.

Let the extra distance skated by Clare than Mai be y miles.

Solution,

Total distance skated by Clare = Distance skated by Mai + Extra distance skated by Clare than Mai

Now substituting the values we get;

$Total\ distance\ skated\ by\ Clare = (x+y)\ miles.$

Indicate a general rule for the nth term of the sequence a1 = 2 and r = √3.

pantera1 [17]

It is given in the question that,

$a_{1} = 2, r = \sqrt 3$

Since we have the value of r given, so we have to use the formula to find the nth term of the geometric progression, which is

$a_{n} = a(r)^{n-1}$

Substituting the values of a and r, we will get

$a_{n} = 2( \sqrt 3)^{n-1}$

So the correct option is the third option .

Solve the following equations: (a) x^11=13 mod 35 (b) x^5=3 mod 64

tino4ka555 [31]

$x^{11}=13\pmod{35}\implies\begin{cases}x^{11}\equiv13\equiv3\pmod5\\x^{11}\equiv13\equiv6\pmod7\end{cases}$

By Fermat's little theorem, we have

$x^{11}\equiv (x^5)^2x\equiv x^3\equiv3\pmod5$

$x^{11}\equiv x^7x^4\equiv x^5\equiv6\pmod 7$

5 and 7 are both prime, so $\varphi(5)=4$ and $\varphi(7)=6$ . By Euler's theorem, we get

$x^4\equiv1\pmod5\implies x\equiv3^{-1}\equiv2\pmod5$

$x^6\equiv1\pmod7\impleis x\equiv6^{-1}\equiv6\pmod7$

Now we can use the Chinese remainder theorem to solve for $x$ . Start with

$x=2\cdot7+5\cdot6$

Taken mod 5, the second term vanishes and $14\equiv4\pmod5$ . Multiply by the inverse of 4 mod 5 (4), then by 2.

$x=2\cdot7\cdot4\cdot2+5\cdot6$

Taken mod 7, the first term vanishes and $30\equiv2\pmod7$ . Multiply by the inverse of 2 mod 7 (4), then by 6.

$x=2\cdot7\cdot4\cdot2+5\cdot6\cdot4\cdot6$

$\implies x\equiv832\pmod{5\cdot7}\implies\boxed{x\equiv27\pmod{35}}$

$x^5\equiv3\pmod{64}$

We have $\varphi(64)=32$ , so by Euler's theorem,

$x^{32}\equiv1\pmod{64}$

Now, raising both sides of the original congruence to the power of 6 gives

$x^{30}\equiv3^6\equiv729\equiv25\pmod{64}$

Then multiplying both sides by $x^2$ gives

$x^{32}\equiv25x^2\equiv1\pmod{64}$

so that $x^2$ is the inverse of 25 mod 64. To find this inverse, solve for $y$ in $25y\equiv1\pmod{64}$ . Using the Euclidean algorithm, we have

64 = 2*25 + 14

25 = 1*14 + 11

14 = 1*11 + 3

11 = 3*3 + 2

3 = 1*2 + 1

=> 1 = 9*64 - 23*25

so that $(-23)\cdot25\equiv1\pmod{64}\implies y=25^{-1}\equiv-23\equiv41\pmod{64}$ .

So we know

$25x^2\equiv1\pmod{64}\implies x^2\equiv41\pmod{64}$

Squaring both sides of this gives

$x^4\equiv1681\equiv17\pmod{64}$

and multiplying both sides by $x$ tells us

$x^5\equiv17x\equiv3\pmod{64}$

Use the Euclidean algorithm to solve for $x$ .

64 = 3*17 + 13

17 = 1*13 + 4

13 = 3*4 + 1

=> 1 = 4*64 - 15*17

so that $(-15)\cdot17\equiv1\pmod{64}\implies17^{-1}\equiv-15\equiv49\pmod{64}$ , and so $x\equiv147\pmod{64}\implies\boxed{x\equiv19\pmod{64}}$

Find the commission on a $1,250 sale with a commission rate of 5%.

Nana76 [90]

Essentially, we must take 5% of $1250. When we drop the percent sign, we move the decimal 2 places to the left, giving .05. Then "of" means multiply. We take $1250 and multiply times .05, giving
$62..50 

Another way to do it is to take 10%, or $125. 
Then 5% is half of that. Half of $125 is $62.50 We can do that by dividing $125 by 2. I did it in my head. Others might do it on paper. Still others might have a calculator handy and say $125 divided by 2 on the calculator. We should all get the same answer unless one person spaces out or is tired. It happens!
