Answer:
195.25
Step-by-step explanation:
Consider geometric series S(n) where initial term is a
So S(n)=a+ar^1+...ar^n
Factor out a
S(n)=a(1+r+r^2...+r^n)
Multiply by r
S(n)r=a(r+r^2+r^3...+r^n+r^n+1)
Subtract S(n) from S(n)r
Note that only 1 and rn^1 remain.
S(n)r-S(n)=a(r^n+1 -1)
Factor out S(n)
S(n)(r-1)=a(r^n+1 -1)
The formula now shows S(n)=a(r^n+1 -1)/(r-1)
Now use the formula for the problem

Assume a is not divisible by 10. (otherwise the problem is trivial).
<span>Define R(m) to be the remainder of a^m when divided by 10. </span>
<span>R can take on one of 9 possible values, namely, 1,2,...,9. </span>
<span>Now, consider R(1),R(2),......R(10). At least 2 of them must have the sames value (by the Pigeonhole Principle), say R(i) = R(j) ( j>i ) </span>
<span>Then, a^j - a^i is divisible by 10.</span>
