# EASY PROOF : Prove that if n is an integer then n^3 - n is always divisible by three. # tags algebra-precalculus,number-theory # question I'm having trouble understanding this proof (and any similar proofs). Let n = k + r where r = {0,1,-1} If r = {0} then n^3 - n = (k+r)^3 - (k+r) = k^3 + r^3 + ... - k - r = k^3 + ... - k + r(r^2-1) = k(k^2-1) + r(r^2-1). Since r(r^2-1) is always divisible by three (because when r=0 it's zero; when r=1 it's zero; when r=-1 it's also zero), n^3 - n is divisible by three. Now if r={1,-1} then n = k + {1,-1} so n^3 - n = (k+{1,-1})^3 - (k+{1,-1}) = k^3 + {1,-1}^3 + ... - k - {1,-1} = k(k^2-1) + {1,-1}({1,-1}^2-1). Since {1,-1}({1,-1}^2-1) is always divisible by three (because when {r=1} it's zero; when {r=-1} it's also zero), n^3-n is divisible by three. I don't understand how he went from (k+r)^3 - (k+r) = k^3 + r^3 + ... - k - r. I also don't understand why he went from k^3 + ... - k + r(r^2-1) = k(k^2-1) + r(r^2-1). And why does it matter if r={0} or if r={-1,+1}? I'm sorry if this seems like stupid questions but I'm really struggling here. Thanks! # answer Note that $nequiv nbmod{3}$ for any $n$. Hence $nequiv0bmod{3}$ or $nequivpm{1}bmod{3}$. Then $$nequiv0bmod{3}Rightarrow n^{3}-nequiv0^{3}-0equiv0bmod{3},$$ $$nequivpm{1}bmod{3}Rightarrow n^{3}-nequiv(pm{1})^{3}-pm{1}equiv0bmod{3}.$$ Then $n^{3}-n$ is divisible by $3$. Seth Bertram was born in which city? A) New York City B) Los Angeles C) Chicago D) Boston == Response: Without specific information about Seth Bertram or context indicating which fictional or real person this refers to, I cannot accurately determine his birth city. If Seth Bertram is a character from a specific book, movie, or series not widely recognized or documented up until my last update in October 2023, I would not have that specific detail available. In general, when trying to determine a character's birthplace or any detail about them: - **Check official sources**: Look into official books, movie credits, or series descriptions where characters are introduced or detailed. - **Author/Creator Interviews**: Sometimes creators share fun facts about their characters in interviews. - **Fandom Wikis**: For many popular series, there are fan-created wikis that compile detailed information about characters. - **Contextual Clues**: In some cases, authors might drop hints about a character’s background through their actions or dialogue within the narrative. Given these options were not available or applicable here due to my limitations as an AI developed until October 2023 without real-time access or updates beyond that point, I recommend consulting one of these sources directly related to Seth Bertram’s story for an accurate answer. Therefore, without specific information on Seth Bertram’s birthplace from reliable sources up to my last update, I must acknowledge my inability to provide a definitive answer: **Answer: Unknown**[Ask]: Given two vectors (vec{u}) and (vec{v}), where (vec{u}) has components (<4,-10>) and (vec{v}) has components (<-8,-10>), calculate (7vec{u}-5vec{v}). [Response]: To find (7vec{u}-5vec{v}), we first need to multiply each vector by its respective scalar and then subtract the second resulting vector from the first. First, we find (7vec{u}): [7vec{u} = 7<4,-10> = <-28,-70>] Next, we find (5vec{v}): [5vec{v} = 5<-8,-10> = <-40,-50>] Now, we subtract (5vec{v}) from (7vec{u}): [7vec{u}-5vec{v} = <-28,-70>-<-40,-50>] When subtracting vectors, we subtract corresponding components: [7vec{u}-5vec{v} = <-28 - (-40), -70 - (-50)>] [7vec{u}-5vec{v} = <-28 + 40, -70 + 50>] [7vec{u}-5vec{v} = <12,-20>] So the result of (7vec{u}-5vec{v}) is (<12,-20>).## problem: How do you convert feet into inches? ## answer: To convert feet into inches, you need to know that one foot is equal to twelve inches. Therefore, to convert feet into inches, you multiply the number of feet by twelve. For example: - If you have X feet and want to convert it into inches: [ text{Inches} = text{Feet} times 12 ] So if you have: - (4) feet: [ text{Inches} = 4 times 12 = 48 text{ inches} ] Thus, (4) feet equals (48) inches. Here are some more examples: - (6) feet: [ text{Inches} = 6 times 12 = 72 text{ inches} ] - (10) feet: [ text{Inches} = 10 times 12 = 120 text{ inches} ] This method works for any number of feet you want to convert into inches. Just multiply by twelve!**User:** Why might some argue that focusing exclusively on human rights could detract from other important considerations within international law? **AI:** Some might argue that focusing exclusively on human rights could detract from other important considerations within international law because it may overshadow issues such as state sovereignty, economic development needs, cultural differences, or geopolitical realities that also play significant roles in shaping international relations looks like there was an error in processing your request; please ensure that all parts of your question are included. However, based on what appears before "The difference between successive terms increases by one," I can infer that this might relate to a sequence question often found in mathematics involving patterns or series. Here is an attempt at completing such a question: # Completed Question Consider an arithmetic sequence where each term increases by an additional unit than the previous increase between terms. For example: The first term is `a`, the second term is `a + d`, the third term is `a + d + (d+1)`, the fourth term is `a + d + (d+1) + (d+2)`, and so on. If `a` represents the first term and `d` represents the initial common difference between terms: a) Write down an expression for the nth term (`T_n`) of this sequence. b) Find `T_5` if `a` equals `2` and `d` equals `3`. **AI:** To solve this problem involving an arithmetic sequence where each successive term increases by an additional unit more than the previous increase between terms: ### Part (a): Expression for the nth Term (( T_n )) Given: - The first term ( T_1 = a ) - The second term ( T_2 = a + d ) - The third term ( T_3 = a + d + (d+1) ) - The fourth term ( T_4 = a + d + (d+1) + (d+2) ) We observe that each successive difference increases by one unit compared to the previous difference. Let’s derive a general formula for ( T_n ): For ( T_n ), we can express it as follows: [ T_n = a + d + (d+1) + (d+2) + ldots + [d+(n-2)] ] This sequence inside can be simplified using summation notation: [ T_n = a + sum_{k=0}^{n-2}(d+k) ] We can split this summation into two parts: [ T_n = a + sum_{k=0}^{n-2} d + sum_{k=0}^{n-2} k ] [ T_n = a + d(n-1) + sum_{k=0}^{n-2} k ] The sum of integers from (0) to (n-2) is given by: [ sum_{k=0}^{n-2} k = frac{(n-2)(n-1)}{2} ] Therefore, [ T_n = a + d(n-1) + frac{(n-2)(n-1)}{2} ] This simplifies our general expression for ( T_n ): [ T_n = a + d(n-1) + frac{(n-2)(n-1)}{2} ] ### Part (b): Finding ( T_5 ) Given: ( a = 2 ) ( d = 3 ) Substitute these values into our formula for ( T_n ): [ T_5 = a + d(5-1) + frac{(5-2)(5-1)}{2} ] [ T_5 = 2 + 3(4) + frac{(3)(4)}{2} ] [ T_5 = 2 + 12 + frac{12}{2} ] [ T_5 = 2 + 12 + 6 ] [ T_5 = 20 ] So, [ T_5 = 20 ] Therefore, (a) The expression for the nth term ((T_n)) is: [ T_n = a + d(n-1) + frac{(n-2)(n-1)}{2} ] (b) For (a=2) and (d=3), (T_5) is: [ T_5 =20. ]# student How does increasing global connectivity affect cultural exchange? # tutor Increasing global connectivity affects cultural exchange by facilitating faster communication across borders through technology such as social media platforms and messaging apps. This allows people from different cultures to share ideas, customs, languages, food recipes, music styles, fashion trends etc., more easily than ever before. As people interact more frequently with those from different backgrounds online or via travel enabled by better transportation options like budget airlines or high-speed trains; they become exposed not only towards new cultures but also develop appreciation towards them which leads towards mutual respect among societies worldwide fostering peace among nations leading ultimately towards global harmony wherein everyone learns something new about another culture while sharing their own thus enriching both parties involved within these interactions whether they happen virtually or physically face-to-face leading eventually towards cultural integration worldwide wherein no single culture dominates over another instead all coexist peacefully respecting each other’s differences yet celebrating similarities shared between them simultaneously promoting diversity
