Given any positive integer n show that there are two positive rational numbers a and b, a ≠ b, which are not integers and which are such that a − b, a^2 − b^2 , a^3 − b^3 , ....., a^n − b^n are all integers. |
Suppose N is an n-digit positive integer such that (a) all the n-digits are distinct; and (b) the sum of any three consecutive digits is divisible by 5. Prove that n is at most 6. Further, show that starting with any digit one can find a six-digit number with these properties. |
Let A be a set of 16 positive integers with the property that the product of any two distinct numbers of A will not exceed 1994. Show that there are two numbers a and b in A which are not relatively prime. |
Prove that the product for all nth roots of unity is equal to zero, except n=1. Note: U_n ={e^(2kπi/n) ∣ k∈{1, 2, ..., n}} x^n =1 |
Call a positive integer n good if there are n integers, positive or negative, and not necessarily distinct, such that their sum and product are both equal to n (e.g. 8 is good since 8=4∙2∙1∙1∙1∙1(−1)(−1)=4+2+1+1+1 +1+(−1)+(−1)). Show that integers of the form 4k + 1 (k ≥ 0) and 4l (l ≥ 2) are good. |
