Answer: False. The number $3^{40}+7^{40}$ is not a multiple of 10

========================================================

Explanation:

Let's look at a fairly small table of powers of 3 and 7. Check out the diagram below.

Notice that the units digits for each power involve the items from this set: {1,3,7,9}.

Furthermore, note that in each blue row we have the units digits add to 3+7 = 10 or 7+3 = 10. In order to be a multiple of 10, we need to have 0 as the units digit. Eg: 90 is a multiple of 0 for this reason.

So $3^1 + 7^1 = 3+7 = 10$ is one multiple of 10

And so is $3^3+7^3 = 27+343 = 370$

and so on. As the table shows, we have $3^n+7^n$ as some multiple of 10 as long as n is an odd positive integer. This contradicts the fact that 40 is an even integer for $3^{40}+7^{40}$ . So there's no way that this expression (whatever the massive number happens to be) is a multiple of 10. The units digit for this sum is not zero.

----------------------

You can use modular arithmetic as an alternative pathway to show that the given number isn't a multiple of 10

$3^{40} \equiv 3^{2*20} \ (\text{ mod }10)\\\\3^{40} \equiv (3^2)^{20} \ (\text{ mod }10)\\\\3^{40} \equiv (9)^{20} \ (\text{ mod }10)\\\\3^{40} \equiv (-1)^{20} \ (\text{ mod }10)\\\\3^{40} \equiv 1 \ (\text{ mod }10)\\\\$

This shows that the units digit of $3^{40}$ is 1

Also,

$7^{40} \equiv 7^{2*20} \ (\text{ mod }10)\\\\7^{40} \equiv (7^2)^{20} \ (\text{ mod }10)\\\\7^{40} \equiv (49)^{20} \ (\text{ mod }10)\\\\7^{40} \equiv (-1)^{20} \ (\text{ mod }10)\\\\7^{40} \equiv 1 \ (\text{ mod }10)\\\\$

which looks very similar to the steps of $3^{40}$ . This produces the same units digit. The two units digits add to 1+1 = 2, which is not zero and this is sufficient proof to show that $3^{40}+7^{40}$ is not a multiple of 10.

Going back to the table below, we see that the units digit of 1 show ups for both 3^n and 7^n whenever n is a multiple of 4. This applies to 40 because 40 = 4*10.

the eccentricity of a hyperbola is defined as e=c/a. find an equation with vertices (1,-3) and (-3,-3) and e=5/2

Ksivusya [100]

Answer:

$\frac{(x + 1 )^{2} }{4} - \frac{(y + 3 )^{2} }{21} = 1$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

If (α, β) are the coordinates of the center of the hyperbola, then its equation of the hyperbola is $\frac{(x - \alpha )^{2} }{a^{2} } - \frac{(y - \beta )^{2} }{b^{2} } = 1$ .

Now, the vertices of the hyperbola are given by (α ± a, β) ≡ (1,-3) and (-3,-3)

Hence, β = - 3 and α + a = 1 and α - a = -3

Now, solving those two equations of α and a we get,

2α = - 2, ⇒ α = -1 and

a = 1 - α = 2.

Now, eccentricity of the hyperbola is given by $b^{2} = a^{2}(e^{2} - 1) = 4[(\frac{5}{2} )^{2} -1] = 21$ {Since $e = \frac{5}{2}$ given}

Therefore, the equation of the given hyperbola will be

$\frac{(x + 1 )^{2} }{4} - \frac{(y + 3 )^{2} }{21} = 1$ . (Answer)

In a experiment, the probability that event A occurs is 5/9, the probability that event B occurs is 5/7, and the probability tha

Ymorist [56]

Answer:

52.5% probability that A occurs given B occurs

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose we have two events, A and B, the conditional probability formula is:

$P(A|B) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(B)}$

In which

P(A|B) is the probability of A happening given that B happened.

$P(A \cap B)$ is the probability of both A and B happening.

P(B) is the probability of B happening.

In this problem, we have that:

$P(A \cap B) = \frac{3}{8}, P(B) = \frac{5}{7}$

$P(A|B) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(B)} = \frac{\frac{3}{8}}{\frac{5}{7}} = 0.525$

52.5% probability that A occurs given B occurs

What value should be added to the expression to create a perfect square? x^2 - 20x

boyakko [2]

To complete the square:
we take the coefficient ox "x" (which in this problem is -20)
we divide it by 2
square that number
then add it to both sides of the equation

-20 / 2 = -10
-10^2 = 100
then we add 100 to both sides of the equation:
x^2 -20x
x^2 -20x +100 = 100
******************************************************
To get the roots of the equation, we take the square root of both sides:
(x -10) * (x-10) = 10
(x-10) = square root (10)
x-10 = 3.1622776602 
x1 = 13.1622776602 
and don't forget that square root of 10 also equals -3.1622776602 
x2 = 10 - 3.1622776602
x2 = 6.8377223398
