Find the smallest positive integer n such that n(n+1)(n+2) is divisible by 247.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

37 is the smallest positive integer n such that n(n+1)(n+2) is divisible by 247.

Step-by-step explanation:

First we will find the prime factors of 247:

247 = 13 x 19 (which are both prime).

So now we need to find a number (the smallest one) that is of the form (n)(n+1)(n+2) (the product of three consecutive numbers) and that is divisible by both 13 and 19 (and therefore divisible by 247)

Let's take a look at the multiples of 13: 13, 26, 39, 52...

Let's take a look at the multiples of 19: 19, 38, 57...

We can see that the first time we have two multiples close together are the 38 (for 19) and the 39 (for 17).

So, if our number has both 38 and 39 as factors, then it will be divisible by 247.

However, we need not two but three consecutive numbers, and since we want the number to be the smallest positive integer, we will add 37 (since our other choice would be to add 40 and that would make the number bigger) and thus our number is (37)(38)(39) or in other words (37)(37 + 1)(37 + 2) and therefore this is the smallest positive number such that n(n+1)(n+2) is divisible by 247.

Answer 2

The smallest positive integer n such that n(n+1)(n+2) is divisible by 247 is 37.

n(n+1)(n+2) is divisible by 247

Then, n(n+1)(n+2) =247k, where k is an integer

so, [tex]k = \frac{n(n+1)(n+2)}{247}[/tex]

What is an integer?

An integer is a number that is not a fraction but a whole number.

Since the prime factors of 247 are 19 and 13.

By hit and trial let us choose the value of n such that n *(n+1) or (n+1) *(n+2) or n *(n+2)  become the multiples of 19 *13.

If n = 37

n+1 = 38

n+2 = 39

So, if n=37, ( n+1 )*(n+2) will get divided by 19*13

So, the smallest possible integer 'n' will be 37.

Therefore, the smallest positive integer n such that n(n+1)(n+2) is divisible by 247 is 37.

What is unit of Measurement?

A unit of measurement is a definite magnitude of a quantity, defined and adopted by convention or by law, that is used as a standard for measurement of the same kind of quantity.

Given that a flagpole has a height of 25 meters.

We know that there is 3.3 feet in 1 meter.

1 meter=3.3 feet.

Now we have to find the height in feet.

So we have to multiply twenty five with three point three

25×3.3=82.5 feet

25 meters=82.5 feet.

Hence, a flagpole has a height of 82.5 feet.

Answers

Answer: 6 feet 3 inches

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

Explanation:

We can set up the following proportion

a/b = c/d

where the numerators 'a' and 'c' represent the scaled down dimensions, and b and d represent the actual real life dimensions.

For this particular problem, we have to keep in mind that 'a' and 'c' are in cm; while b and d are in inches.

So we could have

a = 16.8 cmb = 84 inchesc = 15 cmd = x inches, where x is unknown for now

Since d is in inches, this makes x be in inches as well.

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

Let's solve for x

a/b = c/d

16.8/84 = 15/x

16.8x = 84*15 ..... cross multiply

16.8x = 1260

x = 1260/16.8

x = 75

The suspect is 75 inches tall. This converts to 75/12 = 6.25 feet or 6 feet 3 inches (since 0.25 ft = 0.25*12 = 3 ft)

Answers

Answer:

36/500

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability that the husband earns less than $25,000 is 0.496.

Given that,

A total of 500 married working couples were polled about their annual salaries, with the following information resulting:

                                              Husband

Wife                                       Less than $25,000   More than $25,000

Less than $25,000              212                               198

More than $25,000              36                                 54

Thus, for instance, in 36 of the couples, the wife earned more and the husband earned less than $25,000. If one of the couples is randomly chosen.

We have to determine,

What is the probability that the husband earns less than $25,000?

According to the question,

The probability that the husband earned less than $25,000 is,

Total number of couples = 500

The count of husbands earning less than $25,000 is 212 and 36.

[tex]\rm Probability = \dfrac{Total \ number \ of \ couples}{Husband \ earn \ less \ than \ 25000}\\\\ Probability= \dfrac{212+36}{212+36+198+54}\\\\Probability = \dfrac{246}{500}\\\\Probability = 0.496[/tex]

Hence, The probability that the husband earns less than $25,000 is 0.496.

Factors: (x²y+6)(y²-11)

Step-by-step explanation:

Here's the original equation.

x²y³ - 11x²y + 6y² - 66

Let's separate it into two groups to make it easier.

(x²y³ - 11x²y) + (6y² - 66)

Let's take a look at (x²y³ - 11x²y) first. Do we notice anything that can be removed from the parentheses?

Yes, x²y can be taken from both polynomials to simplify the contents of the parentheses.

Both polynomials have x² and both have at least one y. Combine that to get x²y. That means that within the parentheses y² and - 11 will be left.

So  (x²y³ - 11x²y) becomes x²y (y²-11)

This works because if we multiply x²y * (y² - 11) we get (x²y³ - 11x²)

Let's apply this same idea to (6y² - 66).

6 is the only thing in common between the two polynomials.

If we follow the same steps we get 6 (y²-11).

Notice how when we simplified both groups they each had something on the outside and (y² - 11) in the parentheses?

So lets combine the things that were on the outside of both (y² - 11).

What was on the outside of each? x²y was on the outside for the first one, and 6 for the outside of the second one.

This means that if we combine everything and simplify, the factors we have are (x²y+6)(y²-11).

If you want to confirm, work your way backwards using the distributive property. You'll find that when you multiply (x²y+6) * (y² -11) you'll get = x²y³ - 11x²y + 6y² - 66. That was the original equation, so we know that these are the factors.

Hope that helps!

China      54

Finland    50

Germany  36

Nigeria     42

Sweden    46

United States 42

STEP 2--- finding the mode and median

Mode----The mode of this  data set is the number that occurs most frequently in this research date.

Time with dad in ascending order is given as 30, 36, 42, 42, 44,46,50,54

The number that occurred the most is 42 = mode

Median The median is the middle value in a data set

Since these data set is an even number, we take the average of the two middle numbers

Arranging in ascending order, we have

30, 36, 42, 42, 44, 46, 50, 54---------------42 and 44 are the middle numbers

42+ 44/2 =43

Therefore mode and median are 42 and 43 respectively

we know that the perimeter of a circle is the same as the cirmcumference

we also know that the circumference is given as

For circle A

C=2*3.124*2

C= 12.56 in

For circle B

C=2*3.124* 3 1/4

C= 2*3.142*13/4

C= 2*3.142*3.25

C= 20.42 in

For circle C

C=2*3.124*1

C= 6.284 in

Now the perimeter of all the circles ABC is
