Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

An eccentric philanthropist undertakes to give away $100,000. He is eccentric because he insists that each of his gifts be a number of dollars that is a power of two, and he will give no more than one gift of any amount. How does he distribute the money?

To solve this problem, we will simply write 1,00,000 in base 2.

2^17 gives 131072, 2^16 gives 65536.

So, the first gift is 65536, we then need to repeat this process for  34,464 ((100,000-65536 = 34,464), to get all gifts in succession.

6 gifts in all: one each of $32, $128, $512, $1024, $32768, and $65536.

NEED ANSWER ASAP PLEASE WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST An integer n is divided by 2 and the quotient is an even integer. What does this te
Nesterboy [21]

Answer:

n is a multiple of 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's think about this.

Even numbers are basically numbers that, when divided by 2, get us an integer.

This means that n must be an even integer.

<em>However,</em>

Every other even number, when divided by 2, gets you an odd integer.

This means that every second even number, n \div 2 gets us an even number.

This also means that every time n \div 2 is an even number, n will be a multiple of 4 (as 2\cdot 2 = 4).

Test this out with any even number that's a multiple of 4 (all multiples of 4 are even numbers)

Hope this helped!
