Let

un=2n
  1. Find the period of the sequence formed by the last digit of un (it is ok just to list the first few terms of the sequence and spot the pattern - you don't need to prove it).

  2. Find the last digit in the number 21003

  3. Explain why there are no n,m∈N such that 2n=10m


For (b), notice that 1000 is a multiple of 4.


For (c), if two numbers are equal, they must have the same last digit. Why is this impossible in this case?
