Answer:

factor out 5^19

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Reason from parity:

both 5^20 and 5^19 are products with only odd numbers (5) as factors. Hence each is an odd number. The difference of odd numbers is always even.

b) Factor:

5^20 -5^19 = 5^19(5 -1) = 5^19×4

This product has an even factor (4), so is even.

I need help finding y

kolezko [41]

to solve for y, we must multiply by t on both side to get ride of the t in the denominator. By doing this, we will get:

${t}^{3}$

on the right side.

Subtracting 3, and we have successfully isolated y.

It would be impossible to get a quantitative value for y if we don't know the value of t.
