Question Number 121012 by mathocean1 last updated on 04/Nov/20

x;y;z ∈ N^(∗ ) with x>3 are numbers. we suppose that y is equal to 121 in base x and z is equal to 110 in base x. 1) show that we can write (without knowing x) the product xyz in base x. 2) we suppose now that x+y+z is equal to 49 in base 10; determinate x and xyz in base 10.

(1) n_((x) × x is the same that apending a zero as the rightmost digit (n_((x) 0). In fact, z=11_((x) ×x. Then zxy is 11_((x) ×121_((x) with 00 as the rightmost digits: 133100_((x) (2) x+y+z. In any base x the value x is 10_((x) 10_((x) +110_((x) +121_((x) = 120_((x) + 121_((x) = 49 120_((x) + 120_((x) + 1 = 48+1 2∙120_((x) = 48 = 2 ∙ 24 120_((x) =24 x^2 +2x=24 x=((−2±(√(2^2 −4∙1∙(−24))))/2)= { ((x=4 ✓)),((x=−6 ×)) :} x=4

1) y = 121_x = x^2 +2x+1 = (x+1)^2 z = 110_x = x^2 +x = x(x+1) xyz = x×(x+1)^2 ×x(x+1) xyz = x^2 (x+1)^3 xyz = x^2 (x^3 +3x^2 +3x+1) xyz = x^5 +3x^4 +3x^3 +x^2 +0x+0 ⇒ xyz = 133100_x 2) If x = 4_(10) : y = 121_x = 25_(10) z = 110_x = 20_(10) ⇒ x+y+z = 49_(10) and xyz = x^2 (x+1)^3 = 16×5^3 = 2000_(10) We can verify that : 133100_x = 4^5 +3×4^4 +3×4^3 +4^2 = 2000_(10)
