Let N be the smallest positive integer whose sum of its digits is 2021. What is the sum of the digits of N + 2021?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

[tex]10[/tex].

Step-by-step explanation:

See below for a proof of why all but the first digit of this [tex]N[/tex] must be "[tex]9[/tex]".

Taking that lemma as a fact, assume that there are [tex]x[/tex] digits in [tex]N[/tex] after the first digit, [tex]\text{A}[/tex]:

[tex]N = \overline{\text{A} \, \underbrace{9 \cdots 9}_{\text{$x$ digits}}}[/tex], where [tex]x[/tex] is a positive integer.

Sum of these digits:

[tex]\text{A} + 9\, x= 2021[/tex].

Since [tex]\text{A}[/tex] is a digit, it must be an integer between [tex]0[/tex] and [tex]9[/tex]. The only possible value that would ensure [tex]\text{A} + 9\, x= 2021[/tex] is [tex]\text{A} = 5[/tex] and [tex]x = 224[/tex].

Therefore:

[tex]N = \overline{5 \, \underbrace{9 \cdots 9}_{\text{$224$ digits}}}[/tex].

[tex]N + 1 = \overline{6 \, \underbrace{000 \cdots 000000}_{\text{$224$ digits}}}[/tex].

[tex]N + 2021 = 2020 + (N + 1) = \overline{6 \, \underbrace{000 \cdots 002020}_{\text{$224$ digits}}}[/tex].

Hence, the sum of the digits of [tex](N + 2021)[/tex] would be [tex]6 + 2 + 2 = 10[/tex].

Lemma: all digits of this [tex]N[/tex] other than the first digit must be "[tex]9[/tex]".

Proof:

The question assumes that [tex]N\![/tex] is the smallest positive integer whose sum of digits is [tex]2021[/tex]. Assume by contradiction that the claim is not true, such that at least one of the non-leading digits of [tex]N[/tex] is not "[tex]9[/tex]".

For example: [tex]N = \overline{(\text{A})\cdots (\text{P})(\text{B}) \cdots (\text{C})}[/tex], where [tex]\text{A}[/tex], [tex]\text{P}[/tex], [tex]\text{B}[/tex], and [tex]\text{C}[/tex] are digits. (It is easy to show that [tex]N[/tex] contains at least [tex]5[/tex] digits.) Assume that [tex]\text{B} \![/tex] is one of the non-leading non-"[tex]9[/tex]" digits.

Either of the following must be true:

[tex]\text{P}[/tex], the digit in front of [tex]\text{B}[/tex] is a "[tex]0[/tex]", or[tex]\text{P}[/tex], the digit in front of [tex]\text{B}[/tex] is not a "[tex]0[/tex]".

If [tex]\text{P}[/tex], the digit in front of [tex]\text{B}[/tex], is a "[tex]0[/tex]", then let [tex]N^{\prime}[/tex] be [tex]N[/tex] with that "[tex]0\![/tex]" digit deleted: [tex]N^{\prime} :=\overline{(\text{A})\cdots (\text{B}) \cdots (\text{C})}[/tex].

The digits of [tex]N^{\prime}[/tex] would still add up to [tex]2021[/tex]:

[tex]\begin{aligned}& \text{A} + \cdots + \text{B} + \cdots + \text{C} \\ &= \text{A} + \cdots + 0 + \text{B} + \cdots + \text{C} \\ &= \text{A} + \cdots + \text{P} + \text{B} + \cdots + \text{C} \\ &= 2021\end{aligned}[/tex].

However, with one fewer digit, [tex]N^{\prime} < N[/tex]. This observation would contradict the assumption that [tex]N\![/tex] is the smallest positive integer whose digits add up to [tex]2021\![/tex].

On the other hand, if [tex]\text{P}[/tex], the digit in front of [tex]\text{B}[/tex], is not "[tex]0[/tex]", then [tex](\text{P} - 1)[/tex] would still be a digit.

Since [tex]\text{B}[/tex] is not the digit [tex]9[/tex], [tex](\text{B} + 1)[/tex] would also be a digit.

let [tex]N^{\prime}[/tex] be [tex]N[/tex] with digit [tex]\text{P}[/tex] replaced with [tex](\text{P} - 1)[/tex], and [tex]\text{B}[/tex] replaced with [tex](\text{B} + 1)[/tex]: [tex]N^{\prime} :=\overline{(\text{A})\cdots (\text{P}-1) \, (\text{B} + 1) \cdots (\text{C})}[/tex].

The digits of [tex]N^{\prime}[/tex] would still add up to [tex]2021[/tex]:

[tex]\begin{aligned}& \text{A} + \cdots + (\text{P} - 1) + (\text{B} + 1) + \cdots + \text{C} \\ &= \text{A} + \cdots + \text{P} + \text{B} + \cdots + \text{C} \\ &= 2021\end{aligned}[/tex].

However, with a smaller digit in place of [tex]\text{P}[/tex], [tex]N^{\prime} < N[/tex]. This observation would also contradict the assumption that [tex]N\![/tex] is the smallest positive integer whose digits add up to [tex]2021\![/tex].

Either way, there would be a contradiction. Hence, the claim is verified: all digits of this [tex]N[/tex] other than the first digit must be "[tex]9[/tex]".

Therefore, [tex]N[/tex] would be in the form: [tex]N = \overline{\text{A} \, \underbrace{9 \cdots 9}_{\text{many digits}}}[/tex], where [tex]\text{A}[/tex], the leading digit, could also be [tex]9[/tex].

The dimensions of four rectangles are given below. Which has an area different from the area of each of the other three?

Answers

To determine which of the rectangles has a different area, the areas of the four rectangles must be calculated. The rectangle with a different area is rectangle b

The dimension of the 4 rectangles are:

a. length: 4x and width: 4

b. length: 11 and width: x

c. length: 2 and width: 8x

d. length: 16x and width: 1

The area of a rectangle is:

[tex]Area = Length \times Width[/tex]

Rectangle (a)

[tex]Area = 4x \times 4[/tex]

[tex]Area = 16x[/tex]

Rectangle (b)

[tex]Area = 11 \times x[/tex]

[tex]Area = 11x[/tex]

Rectangle (c)

[tex]Area = 2 \times 8x[/tex]

[tex]Area = 16x[/tex]

Rectangle (d)

[tex]Area = 16x \times 1[/tex]

[tex]Area = 16x[/tex]

Rectangles (a), (c) and (d) have the same area (i.e. 16x) while rectangle (b) has 11x as its area.

Hence, the rectangle with a different area is rectangle (b).

53/12 is the right answer.

Steps:

1 2/3 + 2 3/4 can also be written as...

5/3 + 11/4

The LCD is 12 so we make both fractions have a denominator of 12.

That gives us 20/12+33/12

Now you can add the numerators (but leave the denominator the same)

That gives us 53/12, but our simplified version would give us 4 5/12 as our final answer.

Is 8.888... a rational number?

Answers

Answer: Yes it's a rational number

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

Explanation:

Since the decimal repeats itself infinitely (the 8s go on forever), this is one sign that we have a rational number.

Rational numbers always have some kind of infinitely repeating pattern when we convert them to decimal form.

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

Extra info (optional section)

If you want to determine what this number is equal to, then let's say that

x = 8.8888...

Multiplying both sides by 10 gets us

10x = 88.888....

Now we'll subtract the two equations

The 10x-x becomes 9x while the 88.8888...-8.8888... turns into 80

We're left with 9x = 80 which solves to x = 80/9

Therefore, 80/9 = 8.8888.... showing that we have a rational number

Any rational number is basically a fraction of two whole numbers.

3x - 2y = 16 and x - 2y = 4 (any method <3)​

Answers

Answer:   (x, y) = (6, 1)

This means x = 6 and y = 1

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

Explanation:

I'll use the substitution method to solve this system.

Let's solve the second equation for x

x-2y = 4

x = 4+2y

Then plug that into the first equation so we can solve for y.

3x - 2y = 16

3(4+2y) - 2y = 16 ... x replaced with 4+2y

12+6y - 2y = 16

12 + 4y = 16

4y = 16-12

4y = 4

y = 4/4

y = 1

Lastly, use this y value to find x

x = 4 + 2y

x = 4 + 2(1)

x = 6

The solution as an ordered pair is (x, y) = (6, 1)

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

Checking the answer:

Plug those x,y coordinates into the first equation

3x - 2y = 16

3(6) - 2(1) = 16

18 - 2 = 16

16 = 16

That confirms the first equation. Repeat for the second equation

x - 2y = 4

6 - 2(1) = 4

6 - 2 = 4

4 = 4

Both equations are confirmed.

now,rate of discount =loss% (as discount only leads to some kind of loss)

Vehicle A moves from a position of 12 m to one of 28 m in 50 seconds, so its speed is ...

  A = (28 -12)/50 m/s = 16/50 m/s = 0.32 m/s

Vehicle B moves from 0 to 28 m in 50 seconds, so its speed is ...
