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

Mathematics

sashaice [31]3 years ago
5 0

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.

In winter, the price of apples suddenly went up by $0.75 per pound. Sam bought 3 pounds of apples at the new price for a total o
Vilka [71]

Answer:

look down

Step-by-step explanation:

sam bought 3 pounds so 0.75 multiplied with 3 is 2.25 then we subtract 5.88 by 2.25 to get the original price for 3 pounds which is 3.63. Last step we divide 3.63 by 3 to get the original price for 1 pound and the answer should be 1.21 per pound.

The final equation should be $5.88- $2.25÷3= $1.21
