If $n$ is any positive two-digit integer, what is the greatest positive integer that must be a factor of $n(n +1)(n + 2)(n + 3)$?
938c2cc0dcc05f2b68c4287040cfcf71
I would maybe try to start by looking at what range of values n(n+1)(...) has
when n is two digits
|| and then search for the biggest prime in that range (?) ||
10 to 99
I mean what values the expression can have
unsure
whats the smallest two digit number
10
oh wait I think my approach is wrong
yeah it is because the integer we are looking for must always be a factor
no matter what n is
what do you know about 4 consecutive numbers?
two are even two are ods
yes. what else
unsure
whats about divisibility by 3?
be more precise.
there is always at least one number divisible by 2 with remainder 0
no, you said two are even. so ...
and if 2 numbers are even, what does it mean by disivibilty by 4?
since they are multiplied, should be div 4
and div 3
because there is always one that is odd and div 3
be more precise. on is divisible by 2, one by 4, and one by 3.
the number
n(n+1)(n+2)(n+3) is div 12
unless I am tripping
how to be more precise?
yes, but you know more.
read this.
yes.
what about greater primes? 5? 7?, ...
this is never div 5
depends on the number, can't say more, need more hints
yes. for every greater prime you can alwasy find 4 consecutive number where no one is divisibe by p.
so?
its only guaranted that the product of 4 consecutive numbers is divisible by 24.
hmm okey
so you would have guaranted factors 2, 3, 6, 8, 12, 24. the largest is ...
i would say so.
but disclaimer: thats the way i understood the question. and we didnt use that n is a two digit number. it would be true for n = 1 too. or n = 2357.
so maybe i understood the question not in the right way.
the answer is correct
Solution:
Among any four consecutive positive integers, one of them must be divisible by 2, one of them must be divisible by 3, and one of them must be divisible by 4. Therefore, their product must be divisible by 24. Their product doesn't have to be divisible by any additional prime or higher prime power, because any such prime or prime power must necessarily have to be larger than 4, but the only way to guarantee that a product of $n$ consecutive integers is divisible by some prime power $p^k$ is to have $n \ge p^k$. Therefore, $\boxed{24}$ is the greatest positive integer that must be a factor of $n(n +1)(n + 2)(n + 3)$.

Hey guys !!
i need to solve this type of question in less than 2 min
any shortcuts ?
In less than 2 minutes ?
yeah, hahahah
What is your usual method ?
fast is enough
i would find the 2 x's
zeroes
the minimum of this quadratic occurs at the vertex, so you should look at the vertex's location, then the value at the vertex.
Fish has the key idea
reminder: the vertex's location is $x=-\frac{b}{2a}$ for a quadratic $f(x)=ax^2+bx+c$
fish
the minimum doesn't mean negative
,w graph x² + 1
i see !
in my head, the answer ware the X's
i got it now
in this exam they generally do not ask for the x of the vertex in a positive function
i got confused
Probably take less than 2 minutes right ?
yes, hahah
xd
thanks a lot !

im abit stuck where to start
$ln(x) + ln(y) = ln(xy)$
@random sluice
$\sum_{i}^{n} ln(i) = ln(\prod_{i}^{n}i)$
@random sluice
sorry i do not recognise what that means
Sum of log of 2 numbers is the log of product of those two number
the first bit i understnad its jsut the second message that you sent
thank you for the help as well
Oh
this is not really necessary
recall that $\ln\left(\frac{a}{b}\right) = \ln(a) - \ln(b)$
woudl i do method of differences
artemetra
with the 2 part ln(tan(r+1)) - ln(tan(r))
yes

Hello, can someone help explain to me why these properties are true for normal matrices?
In particular the first property.
can you see why det(hermitian conjugate matrix) = conjugate(det(matrix))?
then interest yourself at how det(lambda I - N) = 0 means det(lambda* I - N^dag) = 0
by conjugate do you mean this symbol?
the cross symbol
hermitian conjugate that is
oops there is a conjugate
anyways
you probably remember det(A^T) = det(A)
i think i understand why because a* b* c* ... = (a b c ...) * where * represents conjugate
still true for complex square matrices
so if u look at det equation
ok so det(N-lamba I) = 0 means det([N-lamba I] cros symbol) = 0
and [N - lambda I] cross symbol = N cross symbol - lambda cross symbol I
but lambda cross symbol is just lamba * because it is a single value
thanks bro @weary pelican i understand it now

@cerulean vortex
Of the form : k(1)f’(ξ1) + k(2)f’(ξ2) = λ then we split the intervals [a,b] to [a,c] and [c,b] in which c = a +k*d in which ( d= (b-a)/ (k(1) + k(2))
Pasted it
okay... i'm not familiar with that
Ah okay then
but it seems relevant
but
you have:
f'(zeta1) = (f(2)-f(0))/(2-0)
f'(zeta2)=(f(5)-f(2))/(5-2)
so
2f'(zeta1)=f(2)-f(0)
3f'(zeta2)=f(5)-f(2)
just add these last two equations together
From which intervals are those
[0,2] and [2,5]
Yeah those work just fine
I can solve it with those
My problem were with the others
oh
The formulas basically help you find which intervals work
like [0,3] and [3,5]
Yes
find zeta1 in [3,5]
I have
f'(zeta1)=(f(5)-f(3))/(5-3)
Multiply both side by 2
2f'(zeta1)=f(5)-f(3)
Yeah that seems correct I am getting confused by the variables

A friend of mine sent me this problem; I just need a hint to get me going in the right direction on this
try using like-triangles and write one side as x
then figure out the other sides in terms of x
!show
Show your work, and if possible, explain where you are stuck.
similar triangles
can you work it out?
!nosols
As a helper, please do not give out answers that could be copied as a homework solution. Have the student work through the problem themselves and guide them along the way.
bro what
okay fine gimme a sec
x/6 = 6/y (let y be the lower leg of small triangle)
xy = 36
next. (y^2 + 36)^1/2 + (x^2 + 36)^1/2 = 20
y =36/x
(6^4/x^2 + 6^2)^1/2 + (x^2 + 36)^1/2 = 20
6(6^2/x^2 + 1)^1/2 + (x^2+36)^1/2 = 20
6/x * (x^2 + 36)^1/2 + (x^2 + 36)^1/2 = 20
pythag in bigger triangle as well
(x+6)^2 + (y+6)^2 = 400
(x^2 + 36)^1/2 + (y^2 + 36)^1/2 = 20
put xy = 36 -> y = 36/x
(x+6)^2 + (36/x + 6)^2 = 400
(x+6)^2 + 6^2/x^2 * (6+x)^2 = 400
6^2/x^2 * (x^2 + 36) + (x^2 +36) + (x^2+36)*12/x = 400subtract both eqns after expanding the squares here
12x * 36/x^2 + 12x - 12/x * (x^2 + 36) = 0
divide both sides by 12
36x/x^2 + x - x^2/x - 36/x =0
36/x + x - x + 36/x = 0
similarity

In a sequence of positive integers, each term after the second is the product of the previous two terms. The sixth term is $4000$. What is the first term? how do u this this an amc 8 problem
Element
might help to first figure out the prime factors of 4000
so the first 2 terms must be something with 2 and 5
nvm i found the solution
its by using variables to represent what happens
in each step
first term a second b
then
ab
ab^2
a^2b^3
a^3b^5
and so on
i js found one on yt
and yea u had to use prime factorization
to plug in 2^5 and 5^3
for a^3b^5

Completely forgot how to do logistic equations, could someone please remind me?
wouldn’t a google search be a better solution
I've tried to search for how to do this on google but the answers were... well, less than comprehensive
well, its multiple choice, so you can test out all the options
is there a general formula i can work with?
what do you expect when P is 500?
and at P is 100?
hold on, so p is the capacity of the theater then
yes
what do L and K stand for again, please?
been like 2 months since we learned this
and stopped using t
it*
one sec
working on a device i'm not used to, trying to figure out the controls. my laptop's still in repairs
found how to zoom
sweet
no, P is the current amount of people in the theater
capacity is 500
L=500
P=100
and how do we get the constant of proportionality? 50? or like, 100/50, or what do we do?
my apologies for being denser than a blackhole
plug in the values they give you for dP/dt and P, then solve for k
how do i solve for k without knowing exactly what i'm looking for in k? they've given me a rate of change being 50, but how could we use that to get the "constant of proportionality"

plz help me, why is there 3 correct answers?
isn't b, c, and d correct?
no
oh
ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
it's a
because
the sqrt of 4
is plus minus
is me smart?
this is why when u see three right answers, u always go with the wrong answer if it's the only wrong answer
first u can factor out the 4 in the 4x+4
4x-4
mhm mhm
it would be the same if u didn't but
mhm mhm
to get (x-1)(x-2)(x+2)(x+b)
mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
now we get to pick and choose
b can be anyone one of -1 , -2,2
so here -1 is correct
u got it ?

I'm doing an online maths course and I've had one question bug before, but I want to make sure I'm not just being stupid.
Yep
heres my workings just in case sorry it's mucky I didn't think I'd be showing people
it in fact is bugging
you're correct dw
perhaps they wanted 2(x+1/2)
so now my score looks like this
i would ask your teacher
they said "three linear factors" specifically i think
I'm doing it by myself, no teacher
ah thats a bummer. Big issue with online assignments i guess. But yeah do flag this to your TA/professor
guess thats the risk yeah
yeah that probably meant a(x-q)(x-r)(x-s)
Surely there is some mentor
nope
i mean does the grade actually matter then
its free so i cant complain much but
do you get answers?
weirdly sometimes
sometimes not
its very strange
its a free imperial college london course so youd think theyd be a bit more careful but
if this is like something you're doing just to like self-assess yourself then just like modify the erroneous final score to reflect what you should've actually gotten
oh? i think i tried that but
ill go check rq
they didnt actually say anything about rational root theorem and I don't know if ive heard of it before
its kinda a mucky course tbh
oh wait no yeah ik what this is nvm im just stupid lol
:/
i thought i had given that a go, i think it's just flatly broke
oh my god
lol i love how they didn't give enough of a shit to truncate their floats either
what the
this seems like something an intern made on the fly
it works if you rearrange it
thats so dumb
mhm
thank you for your help either way

hey i have a question, so.. for point a, its a subspace of R^2, but not of R^R^2, right? since its a set of points, while R^R^2 is a set of functions defined from R^2 into R
it looks like the _R below is just to say what field of scalars is used
otherwise all the questions are meaningless yea

Is the answer for -(x-1) + (3-x) > 3
x < 1/2
Yes
and for +(x-1) + (+(3-x)) > 3
there is no answer right
Technically there is an answer, the answer is that there are no solutions. That is, it's a false inequality
well yeah, but in the written form the "answer" is written as the ∅, right
Yes you can write it like that

Yo
What's the easiest way to solve this system?
I got lost when I tried to solve it
i would start with solving for c2 in the last eq
So how u thought abt it?
um so c2 is the only variable in 2 equations the rest are either in 3 or one and so it would be hard to use sub
I would use a coefficient matrix and row reduce it until I reach row echelon form
I see
Didn't think abt that
idk what adwni is talking about, if you want more info on that you can ask, im not very educated in that area
I think he meant to turn the system into Matrix and solve it
One min I'll give it a try
yea idk what that is 😭
a rectangular array of numbers containing the coefficient of c1, c2, and c3
thanks knief i knew you could save us
It works perfectly here
Probably this is the best method to apply here
Thanks a lot guys. Pls continue saving poor students like me xd
Imma close this one

Could anybody please help out with this? I'm struggling to remember how we generally work with logistic equations
@olive sun what have you tried?
Well, through the process of elimination, A is unlikely to be the answer since AP classroom always has that one simple outlier.
I completely forgot how to work with logistics since we learned it months ago
Let's see
if I integrate it, it becomes H^2+t
but where do we go from there?
cant integrate like that
notice its a separable differential equation
no
u need to get all terms with an H to one side, and all terms with a 't' to the other side
do this
*dT on both sides, -2Hdt, and leave it as dH+2Hdt=1dt and integrate it like that?
Sorry for my general incompetence, haven't done this in a while
$\dv {H}{t} = [2H + 1]$
oh
yeah i'm a bit puzzled here. trying to immediate move the dH leaves dHdt in the end aswell
am i that rusty that i'm failing to solve a simple differential equation?
jesus
"use it or lose it" indeed
ill give u a hint
dH=dt[2H+1]
keep going
integrate
no
get the H's on one side
no
so i just move dH back with everything else?
show me what you mean
0=dt[2H+1]-dH
or alternatively, 1=dt[2H+1]/dH
hold on, lemme recheck the question to see if there are any actual given values
no
dont do that
just think
if i have an equation
Z^2 = x * y * Z
how do i get all the Z's on one side
divide the entire thing by Z
good
tell me what you see
Yes
keep going
just do what you need
completely forgot, when integrating with a present numerator, do we keep it on the side?
wait nvm that's a dH
ln[2H+1]=t
not quite
right direction?
it's 1dt, which, deriving would be t/1
try differentiating the left side of ur solution - see what you get
how do i deal with the dH in the numerator while deriving?
oh
of MY solution
wait did i just forget chainrule?
2ln[2H+1]=t instead
but
that's the wrong application of it
i treated that as a derivative
1/[2H+1]/2
multiply both sides by 2
what does this mean
@royal herald may i give him a small hint on where he messed up?
no
lemme just run through the process, step by step
intdH/[2H+1]=intdt
which can be rephrased as
int(1/(2H+1))dH=1dt
when integrating, i need to also inverse the chain rule
ln[2H+1]/2+C=t+C
remove C from both sides
multiply both sides by 2
ln[2H+1]=2t
i messed up somewhere by removing C
because all the choices keep it
@royal herald intervention, please?
where'd i goof up
ln[2H+1]/2+C=t+C
u dont really need the +C on the left side
its kinda useless
i mean, its correct, but conventionally we keep it on the independent variable side
so itd just be
ln[2H+1]/2 =t+C
now u multiplied out and got
ln(2H + 1) = 2t + 2C
And how is the second C dealt with?
note that 2C = C cuz its just an arbitrary constant
or we coulda just had
ln[2H+1]/2 =t+A
A being our constant of integration
multiply out by 2
ln[2H+1] = 2t + 2A
let 2A = C
so solution is ?
np
do the integration in steps
like u forgot the u-sub, so try to remember that
remember there are different ways to isolate dH and dt
Yeah, I fear usub with blazing terror
thats abt it I think
i mean ur in BC right? should be one of the easier concepts
I haven't had the chance to properly focus on Usub unfortunately
Integration By Parts felt easier in every way
Usub requires some indirect work
nah thats a crazy take but 🤷♂️ its subjective ig
the issue is, I took AB over florida virtual school and it was done at my own pace
but I'm taking BC under a Harvard Alum
and she gave us what she calls the "reverse zorro technique"
for integration by parts, where we have U, dU, V, and dV
and we use LIPET to see where to start exactly
with usub it feels like there's some guesswork
thank you so much though, @royal herald. I'm sorry if i seem a bit dense or inexperienced
yea i guess
no worries, ur fine
good luck

Show your work, and if possible, explain where you are stuck.
doesnt matter
ask them
so like I know that I need to replace the n with 1 but then I have to replace with n+1 but like how do I go from n+1 to n?
with induction, you have the base case and then the induction step
in the induction step you assume that P(n) is true, then use it to show that P(n+1) must then also be true
<@&268886789983436800> troll
but like what if I don't get the n at the end and like something else does that mean it was false?
<@&268886789983436800>
sorry about all that
np
or you did it wrong
so like there was a queestion I did where there was a n and a i, wait I'll show you
it's not uploading
this one
the black one
like I did it but then I got stuck and I asked chatgpt and it did it in a wierd way
it wrote i/i.(i+1) twice while writing n/n+1 only once
!nogpt
Please do not trust ChatGPT or similar AI tools for mathematical tasks, as they often generate output which "sounds correct" but has numerous factual or logical errors. Use of these AI tools to answer other people's help questions is strictly against server rules (see #rules).
do you understand the concept of induction?
whats the base case here
n>=1
well one n is already written so I guess that is tthe base case
I mean I kinda understood it but can't seem to apply it
I can apply in java but not ion paper for some reason
way i understood induction is
base case: lowest value possible usually,
after you prove base case
asume its true for n = k , prove its true for k+1
The final destination you want to reach is the answer when k+1 is plugged on the RHS
but you cant just do that you'd be assuming the conclusion, but since you assumed its true for k you can use the sum for k and then you add the k+1th element
lemme know if im wrong guys
because the k +1th element is the kth element plus the new value to the k+1th value, since you proved the k value you can substitute that with the RHS but for the k+1th element you have to write it like it is (LHS)
induction works like dominos, you push one of the dominos over and all the other ones fall
yh thats what I understood, like I replace the n with n+1 then try to go form n+1 to the base n, and if I did it then I prouved it or else no
what youre trying to explain doesnt really make sense
yeah
or at least, im not understanding it
you show for some n (base case) its true
then you assume for n=k it is true, then you show that it is also true for n=k+1
has there been multiple ehre?
yh
Just I didn't explain it well
what would be the base case for your question
n
yeah
you prove for the least n possible
so if n>=1
base case would be 1
base case you prove you can climb the first step
if you can climb the first step, then you can also climb the next
Oh ok so thats base case, like I didn't knoiw the word that described that but like I know what it is
I mean I study in french so I have to translate and everything to understand
no in Belgium
oh
$P(n): 1^2+2^2+3^2+...+n^2=\sum_{i=1}^n i^2=\frac16 n(n+1)(2n+1)$
Bonk
base case: $P(1): 1^2=1=\frac16 \cdot 1\cdot (1+1)\cdot(2\cdot 1+1))=\frac16\cdot1\cdot2\cdot3=1$
induction is very easy once you understand its like knowing how to use the formula,
so base case is first step, prove lowest number is true,
then assume its true for any variable, we usually call it k, if we can prove it for k then we can also prove it for k+1
Bonk
Bonk
here, 1 is the easiest base case, but for other questions it might be 0, or 2, or 3, or whatever other number that is usually easiest to calculate
isn't it the other way like I use P(k+1) to arrive at P(k) to prove that it's true?
no, you NEED to show it the other way
if you go from k to k+1, you go to infinity
but if you go from k+1 to k you go to (usually) 0
$(p\implies q) \neq (q\implies p)$
so what I learned is that you replace n with k and then k with k+1, then you simplify it so that you arrive at k. then you've prouved it
Bonk
thats circular reasoning
with that you can prove everything
ill give you a first step to your example
$1^2+2^2+3^2+...+n^2=\frac16 n(n+1)(2n+1)\1^2+2^2+3^2+...+n^2+(n+1)^2=\frac16 n(n+1)(2n+1) + (n+1)^2$
Bonk
so somehow, you need to go from the RHS to $\frac16 (n+1)((n+1)+1)(2(n+1)+1)$
Bonk
if yo are able to show that, theny ou have shown P(n) to be true for all n>=1
make sense?
RHS or LHS?
RHS, because LHS is already in the form that you want
is this what you get if you replace the k with k+1?
it is the RHS of P(k+1)
mb but isnt 1/6.... the RHS?
(so yes)
yes?
from RHS TO RHS?
we need to show:
$1^2+2^2+3^2+...+k^2=\frac16 k(k+1)(2k+1)\implies \1^2+2^2+3^2+...+k^2+(k+1)^2=\frac16 (k+1)((k+1)+1)(2(k+1)+1)$
Bonk
OH OH i see what u mean mb
Ok now I get it
so what i did here
is add (k+1)^2 to both sides
making it so that our LHS is as desired
Initialisation
and all we have left to show is that $\frac16 k(k+1)(2k+1) + (k+1)^2=\\frac16 (k+1)((k+1)+1)(2(k+1)+1)$
Bonk
Tu peux regarder ce que P(k+1) implique et après voir ce que te permet ton hypothèse de recurrence
thnx , I understand it better
i suggest you workout the side you are trying to reach so that you can see what you have to do to reach it or make sure you got it
Ah ok, enfaite je voulais comprendre comment passer de k+1 a K pour faire la demonstration par recurrence mais je pense je comprends mieux maintenant
You can surely only treat that side and then use your proprety P to see if this make it true
Ici c'est pas nécessaire, mais pour d'autre cas comme les suites ou en arithmétique il peut être beaucoup plus efficace de regarder directement P(k+1) plutôt que de le construire à partir de P(k)
Yh I'll practice it and see if I really understood it
tu veut dire on peut ne pas faire le k et directement passer a k+1
?
mais genre c'est mieux quand meme de passer par k nn?
Si on peut, mais c'est plus simple de voir ce que donne P(k+1) sous une forme développé
good, let us know at what part your stuck
"Passer par k" veut dire utiliser ton hypothèse de recurrence, la propriété que tu définie au tout début
att, peut etre nous on le fait uin peu differament genre on fait l'initialisation puis l'hérédité et puis synthese de recurrence mais je vois ce que tu veut dire
dans la partie hérédité on passe par K
could I add you so maybe I could ask help later cause it's close 3am right now so I'll continuelater
for sure

for finding "next term in sequence" questions, why can't you just say those questions are flawed ?
so like if there are n terms and they want you to find a sequence for it
u can just interpolate a polynomial with at least n + 1 degree
Well, technically they are but don't argue with the hand that feeds you ( or in this case grades you)
Any specific examples?
no specific examples
these types of questions are absolutely flawed
i guess we all are somewhat familiar with those type of questions right
it's a guessing game that requires context
for instance, if you've only been learning about arithmetic and geometric sequences in class
they could give you a question where you have fractions
and say the numerator is arithmetic and the denominator is geometric, that would be valid
yeah, espescially from Olympiads
but a question out of the blue, without any context?
it's just rubbish
there would be infinitely many polynomials of degree n anyways
that pass through n points
In general first look for common patters
like the difference increases in a certain way
unless they're collinear or some shit but hey
but like 😭 imagine if you post an ap/gp question on stackexchange
no one is going to reply with polynomial interpolation right?
or maybe if i ask a question in the channel rn
Very unliekly
Low taper fade low taper fade
most people would say okay ap/gp
exactly
Pls help me on the baldi game what is 1-10 it like how u cant
Pls man baldi chasing me
also whoops u only need at least an n - 1 degree polynomial not n + 1
anyway

yo
is 1/x^2+1 same as tan inverse
Its the derivative of arctan
please remember parentheses
1/(x^2-1) and 1/x^2-1 are two very different things
if you want to integrate 1/(x^2-1), do partial fractions
that is hyperbolic
there is a proper proof (I guess tanh y = (sinh y)/(cosh y) = x and implicit diff)
but like there's shortcuts like this
you know how cosh(x) = cos(ix) and sinh(x) = -i sin(ix) and stuff right
that's why

Hello world !!! I need some help I understand pretty hard some things and today on one of my math problems i found the sum of 1/sqrt(n) , how the fungus do I calculate it ?
Take approximation, through integration
so is 2*sqrt(n)?
It's a finite partial sum?
yes
yes that is the correct integral
If you're doing approximations by hand then yeah that integration is your friend
It's easiest for me if I picture it like a Riemann sum
then, you might compute the first few values by hand and start the integral at 4 or something
even if you can only get 2 significant digits it's better than the integration error at small values
but the error will always be within 1
And it'll always be an underapproximation (assuming you start your integral at 1 and not 0, which you should since otherwise youll be more than 1 off)
So if you're asked for like the floor of $\f1{\sqrt1}+\f1{\sqrt2}+\ldots+\f1{\sqrt{49}}$ you can confidently say $2\sqrt{49}-2\sqrt{1}=12$
Dreyuk
,w sum of 1/sqrt(x) from 1 to 49
@modern folio you there ?
sry , I was watching over an video of Riemann sum , I am an noob right naw on this subject
sorry for the lost time
Dreyuk gave a good description to consider
someone really should draw the relevant picture
Click on more
a-1<x<a{0<y<1/sqrt(a)}
this should be the relevant desmos code if someone wants to type it up lol
shocking
ah
yeah it won't show riemann sums
is OK i understood now , thx for your time and have a great day !!!

So I've been going to math competitions for as long as I can remember and I've been doing fine, the only problem that's stopping me from going to even higher limits is combinatorics. I was wondering if there is any sort of online program or online lesson, or even online textbook for problems of combinatorics, which will make me understand combinatorics more and help me do them more efficiently, without wasting an entire hour of my competition time on it. I wanna learn to destroy combinatorics as it has always been my worst enemy in mathematics.
perhaps khanacademy? i remember them having pretty good math courses
Firstly, if you're looking to participate in higher level competitions, you should check out https://discord.gg/mods
i'd argue khan academy is only good for people who don't already have a good background in maths
The server has exactly the kind of environment you need for math Olympiad prep, including book suggestions, daily problem of the day channels, potd grinders and is a hub for fellow aspirants like you.
was maybe a bad suggestion, its been a while since ive used khanacademy
thank youu

The number 59 has the following property: it is equal to the sum of the sum of its digits and the product of its digits.
Indeed, (5+9) + (5x9) = 14 + 45 = 59.
Counting 59, how many positive two-digit integers are there that have the same property?
I got 9 as an answer (19, 29, 39, 49, 59, 69, 79, 89, 99), just want to make sure I didn't mess up somewhere.
this works
So yes absolutely correct
