Answer:

n = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

3n1!/(n-4)! = (n-1)!/( n-1-5)

3n(n-1)(n-2)(n-3)(n-4) / N-4 -------- case1 ( cancel ( n-4) from top and bottom)

= (n-1)(n-2)(n-3)(n-4)(n-5)(n-6) / n-6 --------- case 2 ( Cancel n-6 from top and

bottom and also cancel n-1,

n-2, n-3 with case 1)

3n = ( n-4)(n-5)

3n = n² - 5n - 4n + 20

3n = n² - 9n + 20

0 = n² - 9n - 3n + 20

0 = n² - 12n + 20

0 = (n-2)(n-10)

n = 2 ( not valid) n = 10

Therefore n = 10

Jen and Ariel are reading a 400 page novel for their literature class. Jen decides to read 100 pages the first day and 50 pages

Furkat [3]

Answer:

Option B is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Jen decides to read 100 pages the first day and 50 pages each day thereafter.

Number of pages read by Jen per day = 50

Number of pages read by Jen on first day = 100

Ariel's progress on reading the book is represented by the linear function y = 40x + 80, where y is the total number of pages read after x days.

Number of pages read by Ariel per day = 40

Number of pages read by Ariel on first day = 40 + 80 = 120

Option A:

Jen reads 20 pages per day more than Ariel

Wrong

Option B:

Ariel reads 10 pages per day less than Jen.

Correct

Option C:

Ariel read 20 pages less the first day than Jen read.

Wrong

Option D:

The reading rate each day for Jen and Ariel is the same.

Wrong

Option B is the correct answer.

PI-3.

Fudgin [204]

Answer:

A. $301

B. $721

Step-by-step explanation:

Let $x be the amount of money they raised.

Rowena tried to put the $1 bills into two equal piles and found one left over at the end, then

$x=2q_1+1$

Polly tried to put the $1 bills into three equal piles and found one left over at the end, then

$x=3q_2+1$

Frustrated, they tried 4, 5, and 6 equal piles and each time had $1 left over, then

$x=4q_3+1\\ \\x=5q_4+1\\ \\x=6q_5+1$

Finally Rowena put all the bills evenly into 7 equal piles, and none were left over, then

$x=7q_6$

This means $x-1$ is divisible by 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 without remainder, so

$x-1=2\cdot 3\cdot 2\cdot 5n=60n$

Hence,

$x=60n+1, \ n\in N$

The smallest amount of money they could have raised is $301, because

$x=60\cdot 5+1=301$ is divisible by 7.

Now, the number $x=60n+1$ should be divisible by 7 and must be greater than 500.

So,

$60n+1>500\\ \\60n>499\\ \\n>8$

When n = 9,

$x=60\cdot 9+1=541$ is not divisible by 7.

When n = 10,

$x=60\cdot 10+1=601$ is not divisible by 7.

When n = 11,

$x=60\cdot 11+1=661$ is not divisible by 7.

When n = 12,

$x=60\cdot 12+1=721$ is divisible by 7.

B. The least amount of money they could have raised is $721
