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

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

Dafna11 [192]

Answer:

Average salary: 56

Standard deviation of the salary: 8

Step-by-step explanation:

$56,000 dollars is 56 thousand dollars.

$8,000 is 8 thousand dollars.

The mean is the average. So the average, measured in thousands of dollars, is 56.

The standard deviation is $8,000. So, the standard deviation measured in thousands of dollars, is 8.
