What is the smallest positive integer $n$ for which $9n-2$ and $7n + 3$ share a common factor greater than $1$?

Mathematics

Goshia [24]4 years ago

Answer:

  23

Step-by-step explanation:

You can use Euler's method to find the GCF of these values:

  (9n -2) mod (7n +3) = 2n -5

  (7n +3) mod (2n -5) = n +18

  (2n -5) mod (n +18) = n -23

We want this to be zero, so n = 23. (Note that none of the other remainders are zero for any positive integer n.)

The smallest positive integer n for which (9n-2) and (7n+3) share a common factor is 23. (Their common factor is 41.)

_____

<em>Check</em>

  9(23) -2 = 205 = 5×41

  7(23) +3 = 164 = 4×41

What is the value of x?<br> Enter your answer in the box.<br> units
sineoko [7]

Answer:

x = 28

Step-by-step explanation:

If a line parallel to one side of a triangle intersects the other two sides of the triangle, then the line divides these two sides proportionally.

Then x/(x +10) = 42/(42 +15)

x(57) = 42(x + 10)

57x = 42x + 420

15x = 420

x = 28

If f(a) = K, then which of the following must be true? f(K) = a f -1(K) = a f -1(a) = K
Inessa05 [86]

Answer:


Step-by-step explanation:

given that f(a) = K

we have the options of

f(K) = a

f ⁻¹ (K) = a

f ⁻¹ (a) = K

Where f ⁻¹ denotes an inverse function.

If f(a) = K, then its reciprocate, f ⁻¹ (K) = a

because it is essentially undoing the original equation

Lines x and y are parallel.
densk [106]

On the bottom line, the 106 and number 1 make a straight line and needs to equal 180 degrees.

This means number 1 = 180-106 = 74 degrees.

Because x and y are parallel, the top outside angle is the same as number 1.

6x +8 = 74

Subtract 8 from both sides:

6x = 66

divide both sides by 6:

x = 66 / 6

x = 11

Now you have x, replace x in the equation for 7x-2 to find that angle:

7(11) -2 = 77-2 = 75 degrees.

The three inside angles need to equal 180 degrees.

Angle 2 = 180 - 74 - 75 = 31 degrees.
