How can u tell if a number is divisible by 3?

1 answer:

3 0

To check for divisibility by 3 just check if the sum of all the digits in the number are divisible by 3. If so, the number itself must also be divisible by 3. For example, is 1,529 divisible by 3? Well, the sum of the digits of 1,529 is 1+5+2+9=17. Since 17 is not divisible by 3, we can conclude that 1,529 is also not divisible by 3. How about 1,530? Well, this time the sum is 1+5+3+0=9. Since 9 is divisible by 3, we know that 1,530 is divisible by 3 too.

What is the converse of the following conditional statement? If x = –10, then x2 = 100

tangare [24]

The converse would be If x² = 100 then x = -10

So essentially if the conditional statement is p → q then the converse is q → p (In essence, the converse of a conditional statement is formed by interchanging the hypothesis and the conclusion.)

Prove that x=2 if 4^x=8x...where ^ stands for "to the power of".

Romashka [77]

In order to prove this, you simply plug in the number 2 everywhere you see X:

4^(2) = 8(2).

Simplify

16 = 16 √

Since this checks out, x is proven to be 2.
