Find the smallest positive integer k such that 3240/k is a square number

Mathematics

sashaice [31]3 years ago

Answer:

10

Step-by-step explanation:

First, factorize the number 3,240:

3,240=2\cdot 1,620=2\cdot 2\cdot 810=2\cdot 2\cdot 2\cdot 405=2\cdot 2\cdot 2\cdot 2\cdot 5\cdot 81=2^3\cdot 5\cdot 9^2

So,

3,240=2^2 \cdot 2\cdot 5\cdot 9^2=18^2\cdot 10

Now consider the fraction

\dfrac{3,240}{k}=\dfrac{18^2\cdot 10}{k}

If k = 10, then

\dfrac{3,240}{k}=\dfrac{18^2\cdot 10}{10}=18^2

is a square number.

For all k < 10, the fraction tex]\dfrac{3,240}{k}[/tex] is not a square number (this follows from factorization).

Or you can simply check the values of the fraction for all k < 10:

  • k = 1, \dfrac{3,240}{1}=3,240 is not a square number;
  • k = 2, \dfrac{3,240}{2}=1,620 is not a square number;
  • k = 3, \dfrac{3,240}{3}=1,080 is not a square number;
  • k = 4, \dfrac{3,240}{4}=810 is not a square number;
  • k = 5, \dfrac{3,240}{5}=648 is not a square number;
  • k = 6, \dfrac{3,240}{6}=540 is not a square number;
  • k = 7, \dfrac{3,240}{7} is not a square number;
  • k = 8, \dfrac{3,240}{8}=405 is not a square number;
  • k = 9, \dfrac{3,240}{9}=360 is not a square number.

What is m angle M? ​
melisa1 [442]

Answer:

angle M = 98

Step-by-step explanation:

since they all equal 180

do 3x-16+x+6+x = 180 now add 10 two both sides and get

3x+x+x = 190

5x = 190

x = 38  

now plug that in to 3x-16 to get 98

Simplify the following expression.( Fraction form)<br><br> 7-5/6 * 7-7/6
Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer:

1295/36

Step-by-step explanation:

the statement tell us:

(7-(5/6))*(7-(7/6))

we have:

(7-(5/6))=((6*7)-5)/6=(42-5)/6=37/6

and we have:

(7-(7/6))=((6*7)-7)/6=(42-7)/6=35/6

we need multiply both terms:

(37/6)*(35/6)=(37*35)/(6*6)

finally we have

1295/36

Δ HFM- Δ PST What is the perimeter of triangle PST? Enter your answer in the box.
fgiga [73]

Step-by-step explanation:

\triangle HFM \sim \triangle PST... (Given) \\\\\therefore   \frac{HF}{PS}  =  \frac{FM}{ST}  =  \frac{HM}{PT}...(csst) \\  \\ \therefore   \frac{30}{PS}  =  \frac{35}{ST}  =  \frac{45}{9}\\  \\ \therefore   \frac{30}{PS}  =  \frac{35}{ST}  =  \frac{5}{1} \\  \\ \therefore  \frac{30}{PS}  =  \frac{5}{1} \\  \\ \therefore PS =  \frac{30}{5} \\  \\\boxed{ \therefore PS =  6 }\\  \\  \because \: \frac{35}{ST}  =  \frac{5}{1} \\  \\  \therefore \: ST = \frac{35}{5}  \\  \\    \boxed{\therefore \: ST = 7} \\  \\ perimeter \: of \: \triangle PST  \\ = 9 + 7 + 6 \\  = 22 \: units
