If x=11+46−11−46x = \sqrt{11 + 4\sqrt{6}} - \sqrt{11 - 4\sqrt{6}} and (116)x2−15=64y+1\left(\frac{1}{16}\right)^{x^2 - 15} = 64^{y + 1}, what is the value of yy?

Cevap: 1

Cevap

The value of yy is 11.
Simplifying 11±46\sqrt{11 \pm 4\sqrt{6}} as 8±3\sqrt{8} \pm \sqrt{3} yields x=23x = 2\sqrt{3} and x2=12x^2 = 12. Substituting x2x^2 gives (1/16)−3=163=212(1/16)^{-3} = 16^3 = 2^{12}. Matching exponents with 64y+1=26y+664^{y+1} = 2^{6y+6} yields 12=6y+612 = 6y + 6, giving y=1y = 1.

Simplify the nested surds for xx
x=23x = 2\sqrt{3}
Express 11±4611 \pm 4\sqrt{6} as 11±224=(8±3)211 \pm 2\sqrt{24} = (\sqrt{8} \pm \sqrt{3})^2, giving 11+46−11−46=(22+3)−(22−3)=23\sqrt{11 + 4\sqrt{6}} - \sqrt{11 - 4\sqrt{6}} = (2\sqrt{2} + \sqrt{3}) - (2\sqrt{2} - \sqrt{3}) = 2\sqrt{3}.
2
Evaluate x2x^2
x2=12x^2 = 12
Squaring x=23x = 2\sqrt{3} yields x2=4×3=12x^2 = 4 \times 3 = 12.
3
Substitute x2=12x^2 = 12 into the exponent of the given equation
(116)−3=64y+1\left(\frac{1}{16}\right)^{-3} = 64^{y + 1}
The exponent x2−15x^2 - 15 evaluates to 12−15=−312 - 15 = -3.
4
Convert both sides to a common prime base (base 2)
212=26y+62^{12} = 2^{6y + 6}
(116)−3=163=(24)3=212\left(\frac{1}{16}\right)^{-3} = 16^3 = (2^4)^3 = 2^{12} and 64y+1=(26)y+1=26y+664^{y + 1} = (2^6)^{y + 1} = 2^{6y + 6}.
5
Equate powers and solve for yy
y=1y = 1
Since the bases are identical, 12=6y+6  ⟹  6y=6  ⟹  y=112 = 6y + 6 \implies 6y = 6 \implies y = 1.

What is the unit digit of the numerical expression M=3105×782+896M = 3^{105} \times 7^{82} + 8^{96}?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 3

Cevap

The unit digit of the given expression is 3.
The unit digit of an exponential term is determined by its base's cyclicity cycle and the exponent modulo 4. For 31053^{105}, 105(mod4)=1  ⟹  31=3105 \pmod 4 = 1 \implies 3^1 = 3. For 7827^{82}, 82(mod4)=2  ⟹  72=49  ⟹  982 \pmod 4 = 2 \implies 7^2 = 49 \implies 9. The product of these terms has a unit digit of (3×9)(mod10)=7(3 \times 9) \pmod{10} = 7. For 8968^{96}, 96(mod4)=096 \pmod 4 = 0, which indicates the 4th position in the cyclicity pattern of 8 (8, 4, 2, 6), yielding a unit digit of 6. Finally, adding the unit digits gives (7+6)(mod10)=3(7 + 6) \pmod{10} = 3.

If p=12+12+12+…p = \sqrt{12 + \sqrt{12 + \sqrt{12 + \dots}}} and q=12−12−12−…q = \sqrt{12 - \sqrt{12 - \sqrt{12 - \dots}}}, such that 2p+q−z=1642^{p+q-z} = \frac{1}{64}, what is the value of zz?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 1313

Cevap

The value of zz is 1313.
Solving p=12+pp = \sqrt{12 + p} yields the quadratic equation p2−p−12=0p^2 - p - 12 = 0, giving p=4p = 4. Solving q=12−qq = \sqrt{12 - q} yields q2+q−12=0q^2 + q - 12 = 0, giving q=3q = 3. Adding pp and qq gives p+q=7p + q = 7. Substituting this into 2p+q−z=1642^{p+q-z} = \frac{1}{64} produces 27−z=2−62^{7-z} = 2^{-6}. Equating the indices gives 7−z=−67 - z = -6, which solves to z=13z = 13.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Evaluate the first infinite nested surd pp
p=4p = 4
Let p=12+pp = \sqrt{12 + p}. Squaring both sides yields p2=12+p  ⟹  p2−p−12=0p^2 = 12 + p \implies p^2 - p - 12 = 0. Factoring gives (p−4)(p+3)=0(p-4)(p+3) = 0. Since p>0p > 0, p=4p = 4.
2
Evaluate the second infinite nested surd qq
q=3q = 3
Let q=12−qq = \sqrt{12 - q}. Squaring both sides yields q2=12−q  ⟹  q2+q−12=0q^2 = 12 - q \implies q^2 + q - 12 = 0. Factoring gives (q+4)(q−3)=0(q+4)(q-3) = 0. Since q>0q > 0, q=3q = 3.
3
Substitute pp and qq into the exponent expression
p+q=7p + q = 7, giving 27−z=1642^{7-z} = \frac{1}{64}
Summing pp and qq gives 4+3=74 + 3 = 7.
4
Solve the exponential equation for zz
z=13z = 13
Express 164\frac{1}{64} as a base 22 power: 164=2−6\frac{1}{64} = 2^{-6}. Equating exponents gives 7−z=−6  ⟹  z=7+6=137 - z = -6 \implies z = 7 + 6 = 13.

What is the simplified value of the expression (64125)−23\left(\frac{64}{125}\right)^{-\frac{2}{3}}?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 2516\frac{25}{16}

Cevap

2516\frac{25}{16}
The expression (64125)−23\left(\frac{64}{125}\right)^{-\frac{2}{3}} is simplified by first converting the negative power to positive by inverting the fraction to (12564)23\left(\frac{125}{64}\right)^{\frac{2}{3}}. Taking the cube root yields 54\frac{5}{4}, and squaring that result gives 2516\frac{25}{16}.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Apply the negative exponent rule a−n=1ana^{-n} = \frac{1}{a^n} to invert the fraction
(64125)−23=(12564)23\left(\frac{64}{125}\right)^{-\frac{2}{3}} = \left(\frac{125}{64}\right)^{\frac{2}{3}}
A negative exponent indicates taking the reciprocal of the base.
2
Express the base numbers as perfect cubes
125=53125 = 5^3 and 64=4364 = 4^3, so 12564=(54)3\frac{125}{64} = \left(\frac{5}{4}\right)^3
Rewriting bases into prime factors with power multiples simplifies fractional exponents.
3
Apply the power of a power rule (am)n=am×n(a^m)^n = a^{m \times n}
\left(\left(\frac{5}{4}\right)^3\right)^{\frac{2}{3}} = \left(\frac{5}{4}\right)^{3 \times \frac{2}{3}} = \left(\frac{5}{4}\right)^2
Multiplying the inner exponent 33 by the outer exponent 23\frac{2}{3} yields 22.
4
Square the fraction
(54)2=2516\left(\frac{5}{4}\right)^2 = \frac{25}{16}
Square both the numerator and the denominator to get the final numerical value.

Cevap: The total number of positive factors of 6060 is 1212.; The prime factorization of 6060 is 22×31×512^2 \times 3^1 \times 5^1.

Cevap

The total number of positive factors of 60 is 12, and the prime factorization of 60 is 22×31×512^2 \times 3^1 \times 5^1.
The statement declaring that the total number of positive factors is 1212 is correct because (2+1)(1+1)(1+1)=12(2+1)(1+1)(1+1) = 12. Furthermore, the statement giving prime factorization as 22×31×512^2 \times 3^1 \times 5^1 is correct as it accurately breaks down 6060 into prime bases.

2
Calculate the total number of positive factors
Total factors = (2+1)(1+1)(1+1)=3×2×2=12(2+1)(1+1)(1+1) = 3 \times 2 \times 2 = 12
Adding 11 to each prime exponent and multiplying gives the total count of positive factors.
3
Evaluate the distinct prime factors and their sum
Distinct prime factors are 2,3,52, 3, 5, and their sum is 2+3+5=102 + 3 + 5 = 10
Verifying distinct prime sum shows that claiming a sum of 1111 is incorrect.
4
Calculate the number of odd factors
Odd factors = (1+1)(1+1)=4(1+1)(1+1) = 4
Odd factors depend only on odd prime bases (31×513^1 \times 5^1), yielding 44 odd factors (1,3,5,151, 3, 5, 15).

Cevap: 9

Cevap

The unit digit of the given expression is 9.
All factorials from 5!5! to 50!50! end in 0, so the sum (1!+2!+3!+⋯+50!)(1! + 2! + 3! + \dots + 50!) ends in 1+2+6+24=331 + 2 + 6 + 24 = 33, which has a unit digit of 3. Raising 3 to the power 25 yields a unit digit of 3 because 25(mod4)=125 \pmod 4 = 1. For 8888^{88}, since 88 is divisible by 4 (88(mod4)=088 \pmod 4 = 0), we take the 4th term of the cyclicity of 8, which is 6. Summing the unit digits yields 3+6=93 + 6 = 9.

The number 504504 has prime factorization 23×32×712^3 \times 3^2 \times 7^1. Total positive factors = (3+1)(2+1)(1+1)=24(3+1)(2+1)(1+1) = 24, and odd positive factors = (2+1)(1+1)=6(2+1)(1+1) = 6. It is divisible by 1414 (504=14×36504 = 14 \times 36) and is the smaller of the two valid numbers (504504 and 11761176).

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Express NN in terms of its prime factors.
N=2a×3b×7cN = 2^a \times 3^b \times 7^c, where a≥1,b≥1,c≥1a \ge 1, b \ge 1, c \ge 1 as NN contains prime factors 2,3,2, 3, and 77, and is a multiple of 14=2×714 = 2 \times 7.
The question specifies that NN is divisible by 1414 and contains prime factors 22, 33, and 77.
2
Formulate equations for total factors and odd factors.
Total positive factors T(N)=(a+1)(b+1)(c+1)=24T(N) = (a + 1)(b + 1)(c + 1) = 24. Odd positive factors depend only on odd prime powers (3b×7c3^b \times 7^c), so (b+1)(c+1)=6(b + 1)(c + 1) = 6.
Odd factors correspond to choosing 20=12^0 = 1 for the even prime factor.
3
Solve for exponent aa.
(a+1)×6=24  ⟹  a+1=4  ⟹  a=3(a + 1) \times 6 = 24 \implies a + 1 = 4 \implies a = 3.
Dividing total factors by odd factors isolates the term (a+1)(a + 1).
4
Find possible values for bb and cc.
Since (b+1)(c+1)=6(b + 1)(c + 1) = 6 with b,c≥1b, c \ge 1, the possible factor pairs for (b+1,c+1)(b+1, c+1) are (2,3)(2, 3) or (3,2)(3, 2). Case 1: b=1,c=2  ⟹  N=23×31×72=1176b=1, c=2 \implies N = 2^3 \times 3^1 \times 7^2 = 1176. Case 2: b=2,c=1  ⟹  N=23×32×71=504b=2, c=1 \implies N = 2^3 \times 3^2 \times 7^1 = 504.
Integer factorizations of 66 give two distinct exponent assignments.
5
Determine the minimum value.
Comparing 504504 and 11761176, the minimum value is 504504.
Assigning the larger exponent to the smaller prime base (33 instead of 77) minimizes the product.

What is the total number of positive even factors of the integer 180180?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 12

Cevap

The total number of positive even factors of 180180 is 1212.
The prime factorization of 180180 is 22×32×512^2 \times 3^2 \times 5^1. An even factor must be divisible by 22, so the power of 22 must be either 11 or 22 (22 choices). The power of 33 can be 0,1,0, 1, or 22 (33 choices), and the power of 55 can be 00 or 11 (22 choices). Total even factors = 2×3×2=122 \times 3 \times 2 = 12.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Express 180180 in terms of its prime factors.
180=22×32×51180 = 2^2 \times 3^2 \times 5^1
Prime factorization allows systematic calculation of factor counts using exponent combinations.
2
Determine the number of valid choices for each prime factor's exponent to form an even factor.
Choices for exponent of 22: 11 or 22 (22 choices). Choices for exponent of 33: 0,10, 1, or 22 (33 choices). Choices for exponent of 55: 00 or 11 (22 choices).
An even factor must contain at least one factor of 22, so the exponent of 22 cannot be 00.
3
Multiply the counts of choices together.
2×3×2=122 \times 3 \times 2 = 12
By the fundamental principle of counting, multiplying the available choices for each prime factor gives the total number of even factors.

Cevap: The total number of positive factors of NN that are perfect squares is 1212.; The number of positive factors of NN that are divisible by 1515 is 3030.

Cevap

The correct statements are that the total number of positive factors of NN that are perfect squares is 1212, and the number of positive factors of NN that are divisible by 1515 is 3030.
The statement asserting that NN has 1212 factors that are perfect squares is correct because choosing even powers (0,2,40, 2, 4 for 22; 0,20, 2 for 33; and 0,20, 2 for 55) yields 3×2×2=123 \times 2 \times 2 = 12 factors. The statement asserting that 3030 factors are divisible by 1515 is also correct because forcing exponents of 33 and 55 to be at least 11 yields 5×2×3=305 \times 2 \times 3 = 30 factors.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Analyze the prime factorization N=24×32×53N = 2^4 \times 3^2 \times 5^3
Any positive factor of NN is of the form 2a×3b×5c2^a \times 3^b \times 5^c, where 0≤a≤40 \le a \le 4, 0≤b≤20 \le b \le 2, and 0≤c≤30 \le c \le 3.
By the Fundamental Theorem of Arithmetic, factors inherit prime bases with constrained exponents.
2
Count the number of factors that are perfect squares
For a perfect square, a∈{0,2,4}a \in \{0, 2, 4\} (3 choices), b∈{0,2}b \in \{0, 2\} (2 choices), and c∈{0,2}c \in \{0, 2\} (2 choices). Total square factors =3×2×2=12= 3 \times 2 \times 2 = 12.
All prime exponents in a perfect square must be even non-negative integers.
3
Count the number of factors divisible by 1515
Since 15=31×5115 = 3^1 \times 5^1, a∈{0,1,2,3,4}a \in \{0, 1, 2, 3, 4\} (5 choices), b∈{1,2}b \in \{1, 2\} (2 choices), and c∈{1,2,3}c \in \{1, 2, 3\} (3 choices). Total factors divisible by 15=5×2×3=3015 = 5 \times 2 \times 3 = 30.
Divisibility by 1515 mandates at least one factor of 33 and at least one factor of 55.
4
Verify even and odd factor counts to evaluate the remaining claims
Even factors require a≥1a \ge 1, giving 4×3×4=484 \times 3 \times 4 = 48 even factors. Odd factors require a=0a = 0, giving 1×3×4=121 \times 3 \times 4 = 12 odd factors.
Evaluating a≥1a \ge 1 vs a=0a = 0 confirms that claims specifying 5050 even factors and 1515 odd factors are incorrect.

It is known that NN has exactly 4848 positive factors, N/2N/2 has 3636 positive factors, and N/5N/5 has 4040 positive factors. What is the total number of positive factors of N/3N/3?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 24

Cevap

The total number of positive factors of N/3N/3 is 24.
By writing the factor formula (a+1)(b+1)(c+1)=48(a+1)(b+1)(c+1) = 48 and comparing it with d(N/2)=a(b+1)(c+1)=36d(N/2) = a(b+1)(c+1) = 36 and d(N/5)=(a+1)(b+1)c=40d(N/5) = (a+1)(b+1)c = 40, we uniquely determine the exponents a=3a = 3, b=1b = 1, and c=5c = 5. Dividing NN by 33 changes the prime exponent of 33 to 00. Applying the factor count formula to 23×30×552^3 \times 3^0 \times 5^5 yields (3+1)(0+1)(5+1)=24(3+1)(0+1)(5+1) = 24.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Express the total number of factors of NN using its prime factorization
d(N)=(a+1)(b+1)(c+1)=48d(N) = (a+1)(b+1)(c+1) = 48
The number of positive factors of a number p1e1p2e2…pkekp_1^{e_1} p_2^{e_2} \dots p_k^{e_k} is given by (e1+1)(e2+1)…(ek+1)(e_1+1)(e_2+1)\dots(e_k+1).
2
Use the factor counts of N/2N/2 and N/5N/5 to determine the exponents aa and cc
a=3a = 3 and c=5c = 5
Since d(N/2)=a(b+1)(c+1)=36d(N/2) = a(b+1)(c+1) = 36, taking the ratio d(N/2)/d(N)d(N/2)/d(N) yields a/(a+1)=36/48=3/4a/(a+1) = 36/48 = 3/4, which gives a=3a = 3. Similarly, d(N/5)=(a+1)(b+1)c=40d(N/5) = (a+1)(b+1)c = 40, so d(N/5)/d(N)=c/(c+1)=40/48=5/6d(N/5)/d(N) = c/(c+1) = 40/48 = 5/6, giving c=5c = 5.
3
Solve for the remaining exponent bb
b=1b = 1
Substituting a=3a = 3 and c=5c = 5 into d(N)=48d(N) = 48 gives (3+1)(b+1)(5+1)=48  ⟹  24(b+1)=48  ⟹  b+1=2  ⟹  b=1(3+1)(b+1)(5+1) = 48 \implies 24(b+1) = 48 \implies b+1 = 2 \implies b = 1.
4
Calculate the number of positive factors of N/3N/3
d(N/3)=(3+1)(0+1)(5+1)=4×1×6=24d(N/3) = (3+1)(0+1)(5+1) = 4 \times 1 \times 6 = 24
Dividing NN by 33 reduces the exponent of 33 from b=1b = 1 to b−1=0b-1 = 0, so N/3=23×30×55N/3 = 2^3 \times 3^0 \times 5^5.

The maximum side length of a square tile that fits exact integer counts along both length and width is given by HCF(105,135)\text{HCF}(105, 135). By prime factorization, 105=3×5×7105 = 3 \times 5 \times 7 and 135=33×5135 = 3^3 \times 5. The common prime factors are 33 and 55, each with lowest power 11. Therefore, HCF=3×5=15 cm\text{HCF} = 3 \times 5 = 15\text{ cm}.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify the required mathematical operation
To find the maximum side length of identical square tiles that fit whole dimensions of 105 cm105\text{ cm} and 135 cm135\text{ cm}, find the Highest Common Factor (HCF) of 105105 and 135135.
The side of each square tile must divide both the length and the width completely, and to maximize tile size, we need the largest such divisor.
2
Perform prime factorization of both numbers
105=3×5×7105 = 3 \times 5 \times 7
135=33×5=3×3×3×5135 = 3^3 \times 5 = 3 \times 3 \times 3 \times 5
Expressing numbers as products of prime factors allows easy identification of common factors.

Calculate the HCF using prime powers
HCF(105,135)=31×51=15\text{HCF}(105, 135) = 3^1 \times 5^1 = 15
HCF is obtained by taking the product of the smallest powers of all common prime factors.

The correct answer is 21. By analyzing the exponent bounds of 2a×3b×5c2^a \times 3^b \times 5^c, there are 48 factors of NN divisible by 1212 (a≥2,b≥1a \ge 2, b \ge 1). Among these, 27 factors are also divisible by 7272 (a≥3,b≥2a \ge 3, b \ge 2). Subtracting the two counts gives 48−27=2148 - 27 = 21 factors divisible by 12 but not by 72.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Represent the general form of a factor of NN
Every positive factor of N=25×34×52N = 2^5 \times 3^4 \times 5^2 can be uniquely written as f=2a×3b×5cf = 2^a \times 3^b \times 5^c, where a∈{0,1,2,3,4,5}a \in \{0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5\}, b∈{0,1,2,3,4}b \in \{0, 1, 2, 3, 4\}, and c∈{0,1,2}c \in \{0, 1, 2\}.
By the Fundamental Theorem of Arithmetic, any factor of a number in prime-factored form takes exponents bounded by the original number's exponents.
2
Identify exponent constraints for divisibility by 12
Since 12=22×3112 = 2^2 \times 3^1, for ff to be divisible by 1212, we must have a≥2a \ge 2 and b≥1b \ge 1.
Divisibility requires prime factor exponents in the factor to be at least as large as those in the divisor.
3
Calculate the total number of factors divisible by 12
Number of choices for aa: 5−2+1=45 - 2 + 1 = 4 (values 2,3,4,52, 3, 4, 5). Number of choices for bb: 4−1+1=44 - 1 + 1 = 4 (values 1,2,3,41, 2, 3, 4). Number of choices for cc: 2−0+1=32 - 0 + 1 = 3 (values 0,1,20, 1, 2). Total count = 4×4×3=484 \times 4 \times 3 = 48.
By the multiplication principle of counting, independent choices for each exponent are multiplied.
4
Identify exponent constraints and count factors divisible by 72
Since 72=23×3272 = 2^3 \times 3^2, a factor is divisible by 7272 if a≥3a \ge 3 and b≥2b \ge 2. Number of choices: a∈{3,4,5}a \in \{3, 4, 5\} (3 choices), b∈{2,3,4}b \in \{2, 3, 4\} (3 choices), c∈{0,1,2}c \in \{0, 1, 2\} (3 choices). Total count = 3×3×3=273 \times 3 \times 3 = 27.
Every factor of NN that is divisible by 72 is inherently also a factor divisible by 12, forming a strict subset.
5
Apply the principle of subtraction to find the required count
Required count = (Factors divisible by 12) - (Factors divisible by 72) = 48−27=2148 - 27 = 21.
The set of factors divisible by 12 but not by 72 is the set difference between factors divisible by 12 and factors divisible by 72.
