Problem 7

Find the value of $\sum_{n=1}^{100}\left(\sum_{i=1}^{n}r_i\right),$ where $r_i$ is the remainder when $2^i+3^i$ is divided by 10.

Solution 1

From Fermat's Little Theorem, we find that $a^n\pmod{10}$ is periodic in cycles of 4. This means that $a^n\equiv a^{n+4}\pmod{10}$ for all $a,n.$ Now, we will compute the first 4 values of $2^n+3^n\pmod{10}.$ \begin{align*} 2^1+3^1\equiv2+3\equiv&\text{ }5\pmod{10}\\ 2^2+3^2\equiv4+9\equiv13\equiv&\text{ }3\pmod{10}\\ 2^3+3^3\equiv8+27\equiv35\equiv&\text{ }5\pmod{10}\\ 2^4+3^4\equiv16+81\equiv97\equiv&\text{ }7\pmod{10}\\ \end{align*} Thus, $$ (Error compiling LaTeX. Unknown error_msg)\begin{align*} 2^n+3^n\equiv&\text{ }5\pmod{10}\tag{for $n\equiv1,3\pmod{4}$}\\ 

 	2^n+3^n\equiv&\text{ }3\pmod{10}\tag{for $n\equiv2\pmod{4}$}\\

2^n+3^n\equiv&\text{ }7\pmod{10}\tag{for $n\equiv0\pmod{4}$}\\ \end{align*}\[This means that\]\begin{align*} \sum_{n=1}^{100}\left(\sum_{i=1}^{n}r_i\right)&=\sum_{n=4a,1\leq a\leq25}(20a)+\sum_{n=4a+1,0\leq a\leq24}(20a+5)+\sum_{n=4a+2,0\leq a\leq24}(20a+8)+\sum_{n=4a+3,0\leq a\leq24}(20a+13)\\ 

   &=\frac{25\cdot26}{2}\cdot20+\left(\frac{24\cdot25}{2}\cdot20+25\cdot5\right)+\left(\frac{24\cdot25}{2}\cdot20+25\cdot8\right)+\left(\frac{24\cdot25}{2}\cdot20+25\cdot13\right)\\
   &=325\cdot20+300\cdot20\cdot3+25\cdot(5+8+13)\\
   &=6500+6000\cdot3+25\cdot26\\
   &=6500+18000+650\\
   &=\boxed{25150}\\

\end{align*}$$ (Error compiling LaTeX. Unknown error_msg) ~pinkpig

Solution 2

We will begin by examining $2^i\text{ (mod }10\text{)}$ and $3^i\text{ (mod }10\text{)}$:

\[2^1 \equiv 2\text{ (mod }10\text{)}\] \[2^2 \equiv 4\text{ (mod }10\text{)}\] \[2^3 \equiv 8\text{ (mod }10\text{)}\] \[2^4 \equiv 6\text{ (mod }10\text{)}\] \[...\] and \[3^1 \equiv 3\text{ (mod }10\text{)}\] \[3^2 \equiv 9\text{ (mod }10\text{)}\] \[3^3 \equiv 7\text{ (mod }10\text{)}\] \[3^4 \equiv 1\text{ (mod }10\text{)}\] \[...\]

From this, we can note that:

\[r_i = 5 \text{, } i \equiv 1 \text{ (mod }4\text{)}\] \[r_i = 3 \text{, } i \equiv 2 \text{ (mod }4\text{)}\] \[r_i = 5 \text{, } i \equiv 3 \text{ (mod }4\text{)}\] \[r_i = 7 \text{, } i \equiv 0 \text{ (mod }4\text{)}\]

We can simplify our sum as follows:

\[\sum_{n=1}^{100}\left(\sum_{i=1}^{n}r_i\right)\] \[=100r_1 + 99r_2 + 98r_3 + ... + r_{100}\] \[=(100+96+...+4)r_1 + (99+95+...+3)r_2 + (98+94+...+2)r_3 + (97+93+...+1)r_4\]


Note that $100+96+...+4 = 4(25+24+...+1) = 4(\frac{25 \cdot 26}{2}) = 1300$:

\[=1300r_1 + (1300-25)r_2 + (1300-50)r_3 + (1300-75)r_4\] \[=5(1300) + 3(1275) + 5(1250) + 7(1225)\] \[=\boxed{25150}\]
