14. Prove that the number 10^2019 - 1 is composite

Mathematics
1 answer:
Phoenix [80]3 years ago
6 0

By the binomial theorem,

10^{2019}=(9+1)^{2019}=\displaystyle\sum_{n=0}^{2019}\binom{2019}n9^{2019-n}

The last term in the sum, when n=2019, is

\dbinom{2019}{2019}9^{2019-2019}=1

which is eliminated, leaving us with

10^{2019}-1=\displaystyle\sum_{n=0}^{2018}\binom{2019}n9^{2019-n}

10^{2019}-1=\displaystyle\binom{2019}09^{2019}+\binom{2019}19^{2018}+\cdots+\binom{2019}{2018}9

Each term in the remaining sum has a common factor of 9, so 10^{2019}-1 must be composite.

What is the volume of a shipping cube with dimensions of 2 and 1/2 feet
Fantom [35]

For this case we have that by definition, the volume of a cube is given by:

V = l ^ 3

Where:

l: It's the side of the cube

According to the statement data:

l = 2 \frac {1} {2} = \frac {2 * 2 + 1} {2} = \frac {5} {2}

Substituting in the formula we have:

V = (\frac {5} {2}) ^ 3\\V = \frac {5 ^ 3} {2 ^ 3}\\V = \frac {125} {8}\\V = 15.625

Thus, the shipping cube volume is15.625 \ ft ^ 3

Answer:

15.625 \ ft ^ 3
