Answer: False. The number 3^{40}+7^{40} is <u>not</u> 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 <u>not</u> 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.

inn [45]
J:V = 3:2

3:2 x 40 = 120:80

J: 120-15 = 105
V:  80+15 = 95

J:V is now 105:95

The original amount of peas that Julia had at first was 120.
