The number here is will be represented as under -

Let the number be x.

Thus, the 5 times the number will be = 5x.

Now, it says, the number is 68 less than 5 times a number.

The equation so formed will be -

5x - 68 = x

4x = 68

x = 68.

Thus, the number will be 17.

Let us re-check the number,

(5 × 17) - 68 = 17

85 - 68 = 17

<em><u>17 = 17. Thus, the number will be 17.</u></em>

Prove that (4n+1)^2(4n-1)^2 is a multiple of 8 for all integers of n.<br><br> thanks.
azamat

Answer: i think  (4n+1)^2(4n-1)^2 isnt a multiple of 8 for all integers of n because:

(4n + 1)²(4n - 1)²

= [(4n + 1)(4n - 1)]²

= (16n² - 1)²

= 16².n².n² - 2.16.n² + 1

= 8n²(32n² - 4) + 1

can see 8n²(32n² - 4) is a multiple of 8 but 1 isnt a multiple of 8

=> (4n + 1)²(4n - 1)² isnt a multiple of 8 for all integers of n.

Use the remainder theorem to divide 5x^2+9x-2 by x+3. What is the remainder
marishachu [46]

Answer:

16

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

f(x)=5x^2+9x-2

Remainder theorem states that when f(x) is divided by x-a then the remainder can be calculated by calculating f(a).

Now Using the remainder theorem to divide 5x^2+9x-2 by x+3 to find the remainder:

f(x)=5x^2+9x-2

f(-3) = 5(-3)^2 +9(-3) -2

       =5(9) - 27 -2

       = 45-29

        = 16 !
