The range is the difference between the largest and smallest number. So for those numbers the lowest value is 6 and the highest is 16. So 16 - 6 = 10
So the range is 10
Answer:
a x a x a x a x a x a x a
Step-by-step explanation:
a^3 is three a's being multiplied by each other. a^4 is four a's being multiplied by each other
Assume a is not divisible by 10. (otherwise the problem is trivial).
<span>Define R(m) to be the remainder of a^m when divided by 10. </span>
<span>R can take on one of 9 possible values, namely, 1,2,...,9. </span>
<span>Now, consider R(1),R(2),......R(10). At least 2 of them must have the sames value (by the Pigeonhole Principle), say R(i) = R(j) ( j>i ) </span>
<span>Then, a^j - a^i is divisible by 10.</span>
I believe the answer is, 2) End of Reconstruction
