The equivalence n \equiv 5 \pmod{12}

means that n-5 is a multiple of 12.

that is

n-5=12k, for some integer k

and so

n=12k+5


for k=-1, n=-12+5=-7

for k= 0, n=0+5=5 (the first positive integer n, is for k=0)


we solve 5000=12k+5 to find the last k

12k=5000-5=4995

k=4995/12=416.25

so check k = 415, 416, 417 to be sure we have the right k:

n=12k+5=12*415+5=4985

n=12k+5=12*416+5=4997

n=12k+5=12*417+5=5009


The last k which produces n<5000 is 416


For all k∈{0, 1, 2, 3, ....416}, n is a positive integer from 1 to 5000,

thus there are 417 integers n satisfying the congruence.


Answer: 417

The original rectangle has a perimeter of 16
zaharov [31]

As we can see that the sides of the rectangle have been doubled

6.2 ft changed to 12.4 ft

Now when the sides have been doubled

the Perimeter will also be doubled

So the perimeter of new rectangle should be the double the perimeter of old rectangle

So perimeter of new rectangle = 2 (16 ) = 32 feet

Line segment AB has vertices A(-3, 4) and B(1, -2). A dilation centered at the orgin is applied to AB. The image has vertices A(
bixtya [17]

Answer:

option 2

Step-by-step explanation:

consider the coordinates A (- 3, 4 ) and A' (- 1, \frac{4}{3} )

since the dilatation is centred at the origin, then corresponding coordinates are multiples/ divisors of each other, then image to original gives scale factor.

scale factor = \frac{A'}{A} = \frac{-1}{-3} = \frac{1}{3} and \frac{\frac{4}{3} }{4} = \frac{1}{3}

similarly B (1, - 2 ) and B' (\frac{1}{3}, - \frac{2}{3} )

\frac{\frac{1}{3} }{1} = \frac{1}{3} and \frac{-\frac{2}{3} }{-2} = \frac{1}{3}
