Mary went up the Old Tower taking 3 steps per second. Then she carefully came down from the tower taking 2 steps per second. It took Mary 25 seconds longer to come down than to go up. How many steps does the Old Tower have?

150 steps

Step-by-step explanation:

For every 6 steps going up it takes a extra 1 second to go down. Since it took Mary 25 seconds longer to get down you multiply 6 by 25 and you'll get 150 steps.

(n^3 - n)

= n(n-1)(n+1)

since it is divisible by 3 and 2 ,because it is a multiple 3 consecutive number

if, n-1 is odd then n+1 is also odd, then it is a multiple of 9

but if, n-1 is even then n+1 is also even, then it is a multiple of 4

so, largest multiple = max(9*2, 4*3) = max(18, 12) = 18

when studying polynomials, you often hear the terms zeros, roots, factors and x x the multiplicity of a zero is important because it tells us how the graph of the let's look at the graph of a function that has the same zeros
