3^99 can be re-written as (4-1)^99
Let’s call 4 as x,and -1as y.

When we do the binomial expansion of (x+y)^99, and temporarily omit the coefficient, we obtain,
X^99+x^98*y+x^97*y^2+x^96*y^3.......x*y^98+y^99.

We know that 4 raised to any natural number grater than one,will divide 8 completely (4^2=16=8*2, and therefore every subsequent power of 4 can be rewritten in the form of 8k, where k is a natural number.)

The last two terms of this binomial expansion are,
(99 c 98) *x*y^98 + y^99.....(x C y represents x “choose” y)
99 C 98 is nothing but 99 ....... ( by using the n C r formula )
So the last two terms will be,
99*4*1+(-1)
=396-1=395
395 mod 8= (392 mod 8) + (3 mod 8) = 0+3=3
So our required answer has been obtained: 3

Hope that helps

Answer:

3

Step-by-step explanation:

3^1=3 divided by 8 will give a remainder of 3

3^2=9 divided by 8 will give a remainder of 1

3^3=27 divided by 8 will give a remainder of 3

3^4=81 divided by 8 will give a remainder of 1

3^5=243 divided by 8 will give a remainder of 3

You will notice that 3^n will give 3 when n is odd number and 1 when n is even number

Since n=99 and 99 is an odd number,

Then the remainder is 3

Artemon [7]

Answer:

1,620/.60 = $2,700

step-by-step explanation:

Calculate the complement of the trade discount 100% - 40 = .60 •Calculate the list price $n Discount Rates EXAMPLE: The list price of the office equipment is $15,000. The chain discount is 20/15/10.Step 1. $15,000 X .20 =$3,000Step 2. $15,000-3,000=$12,000 X .15 = $1,800Step 3. $12,000-1,800 = $10,200 X.10 = $1,020Step 4. $10,000- 1,020 = 9,180 Net PriceCalculating Net Price Using Net Price Equivalent Rate EXAMPLE: The list price of office equipment is $15,000. The chain discount is 20/15/10. What is the net price? Step 1. Calculate each rates complement and convert to a decimal.100%-20 = 80% which is .8100%-15= 85% which is .85100% -10 = 90% which is .9Step 2. Calculate the net price equivalent rate. ( Do not round ).8 X .85 X .9 = .612 Net price equivalent rate. For each dollar you are spending about 60 cents.Step 3. Calculate the net price (actual cost to buyer) $15,000 X .612 = $9,180Step 1. Subtract each chain discount rate from 100% (find the complement) and convert each percent to a decimal.Trade Discount AmountList price x Trade discount rate = Trade discount amount $5,678 x 25% = $1,419.50Net Price List price -- Trade discount amount = Net Price

What is the solution for the system of equations?
Arte-miy333 [17]
The solution is at what point the two lines intersect.
Plug y into the other equation to get: 5x-4(5-3x)=-3
Multiply it out: 5x+12x-20=-3
Combine like terms and add 20 to both sides: 17x=17
Divide both sides by 17: x=1
Now plug the x value back into any equation to get the y value.
So you get y=5-3(1) --> y=2
The solution is (1, 2)
