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>

Explain how to answer the question attached
LenaWriter [7]

Answer:

The players ran 150 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

Pythagorean Theorem: a² + b² = c²

Since we have a rectangle with sides 90 and 120, we know if we split a diagonal across it, we will get a right triangle with legs 90 and 120. From there, we use Pythagorean Theorem to solve:

90² + 120² = c²

8100 + 14400 = c²

c² = 22500

√c² =  √22500

c = 150

3x + 4y = 24<br> 6x + 8y = 24 using process of elimination
Lelechka [254]

Answer:

false

Step-by-step explanation:

3x+4y=24 multiplied by 2 equals: 6x+8y=48

if you subtract 6x+8y=24 from 6x+8y=48, you get 0=24, which is not true. Therefore the statement is false.
