Answer
Correct choice: (D)
正确答案:(D)
Solution
Answer (D): The units digit of a power of an integer is determined by the units digit of the integer; that is, the tens digit, hundreds digit, etc... of the integer have no effect on the units digit of the result. In this problem, the units digit of $19^{19}$ is the units digit of $9^{19}$. Note that $9^{1}=9$ ends in $9$, $9^{2}=81$ ends in $1$, $9^{3}=729$ ends in $9$, and, in general, the units digit of odd powers of $9$ is $9$, whereas the units digit of even powers of $9$ is $1$. Since both exponents are odd, the sum of their units digits is $9+9=18$, the units digit of which is $8$.
答案(D):一个整数的幂的个位数由该整数的个位数决定;也就是说,这个整数的十位、百位等对结果的个位数没有影响。在本题中,$19^{19}$ 的个位数等同于 $9^{19}$ 的个位数。注意 $9^{1}=9$ 的个位是 $9$,$9^{2}=81$ 的个位是 $1$,$9^{3}=729$ 的个位是 $9$。一般而言,$9$ 的奇数次幂的个位是 $9$,而 $9$ 的偶数次幂的个位是 $1$。由于两个指数都是奇数,它们个位数之和为 $9+9=18$,其个位数为 $8$。
