If $n$ is any positive two-digit integer, what is the greatest positive integer that must be a factor of $n(n +1)(n + 2)(n + 3)$?

clever fjordBOT
#

938c2cc0dcc05f2b68c4287040cfcf71

gilded vector
#

when n is two digits

#

|| and then search for the biggest prime in that range (?) ||

lone elbow
#

10 to 99

gilded vector
#

I mean what values the expression can have

lone elbow
gilded vector
#

whats the smallest two digit number

lone elbow
#

10

gilded vector
#

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

upper onyx
#

what do you know about 4 consecutive numbers?

lone elbow
#

1,2,3,4

#

2 shares some divisors with 4

#

2,3,4,5

lone elbow
upper onyx
#

yes. what else

lone elbow
#

3 4 5 6

#

4 5 6 7

lone elbow
upper onyx
#

whats about divisibility by 3?

lone elbow
#

there is always one number div 3

#

11 12 13 14

#

there is always one number div 2

upper onyx
lone elbow
#

there is always at least one number divisible by 2 with remainder 0

upper onyx
#

no, you said two are even. so ...

lone elbow
#

two are even

#

two are odd

#

two even are always div 2 remainder 0

upper onyx
lone elbow
#

since they are multiplied, should be div 4

#

and div 3

#

because there is always one that is odd and div 3

upper onyx
#

be more precise. on is divisible by 2, one by 4, and one by 3.

lone elbow
#

the number

#

n(n+1)(n+2)(n+3) is div 12

#

unless I am tripping

#

how to be more precise?

upper onyx
lone elbow
#

like n(n+1)(n+2)(n+3) should be div 24 mayhaps

#

I am not sure

#

mayhaps

upper onyx
lone elbow
#

hmm

#

two is odd two is even

#

one is div 2 one is div 4

#

one is div 3

lone elbow
lone elbow
upper onyx
#

yes. for every greater prime you can alwasy find 4 consecutive number where no one is divisibe by p.

lone elbow
#

so?

upper onyx
#

its only guaranted that the product of 4 consecutive numbers is divisible by 24.

lone elbow
#

hmm okey

upper onyx
#

so you would have guaranted factors 2, 3, 6, 8, 12, 24. the largest is ...

lone elbow
#

24

upper onyx
#

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.

lone elbow
#

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 $n(n +1)(n + 2)(n + 3)$.

rugged pilot
#

Hey guys !!

i need to solve this type of question in less than 2 min

any shortcuts ?

sand horizon
#

In less than 2 minutes ?

rugged pilot
#

yeah, hahahah

sand horizon
#

What is your usual method ?

rugged pilot
rugged pilot
gilded vector
#

zeroes

rugged pilot
#

one is probably negative, so it would not solve

#

one is the answer

silk quail
#

the minimum of this quadratic occurs at the vertex, so you should look at the vertex's location, then the value at the vertex.

sand horizon
#

Fish has the key idea

silk quail
#

reminder: the vertex's location is $x=-\frac{b}{2a}$ for a quadratic $f(x)=ax^2+bx+c$

clever fjordBOT
rugged pilot
#

yes but it is a positive function

#

no ?

sand horizon
#

So all good ?

#

If its positive its fine

silk quail
#

the minimum doesn't mean negative

sand horizon
#

,w graph x² + 1

rugged pilot
#

i see !

sand horizon
#

See minimum

#

But positive

#

So yeah get the -b/2a and f(-b/2a) is your answer

rugged pilot
#

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

sand horizon
#

Probably take less than 2 minutes right ?

rugged pilot
#

yes, hahah

sand horizon
#

xd

rugged pilot
#

thanks a lot !

fickle pilot
#

Hello, can someone help explain to me why these properties are true for normal matrices?

fickle pilot
#

In particular the first property.

weary pelican
#

then interest yourself at how det(lambda I - N) = 0 means det(lambda* I - N^dag) = 0

fickle pilot
#

the cross symbol

weary pelican
#

hermitian conjugate that is

#

oops there is a conjugate

#

anyways

#

you probably remember det(A^T) = det(A)

fickle pilot
weary pelican
#

still true for complex square matrices

fickle pilot
#

so if u look at det equation

weary pelican
#

yeah

#

it comes from

fickle pilot
#

i think i see it

#

ye

weary pelican
#

det(A^T) = det(A) and det(A*) = det(A)*

#

so

#

det(A^dag) = det(A)*

fickle pilot
#

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

vale basin

@cerulean vortex

odd edgeBOT
vale basin
#

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

cerulean vortex
#

okay... i'm not familiar with that

vale basin
#

Ah okay then

cerulean vortex
#

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

vale basin
#

From which intervals are those

cerulean vortex
#

[0,2] and [2,5]

vale basin
#

Yeah those work just fine

#

I can solve it with those

#

My problem were with the others

cerulean vortex
#

oh

vale basin
#

The formulas basically help you find which intervals work

cerulean vortex
#

like [0,3] and [3,5]

vale basin
#

Yes

cerulean vortex
#

find zeta1 in [3,5]

vale basin
#

I have

cerulean vortex
#

really?

#

then you found zeta2 in [0,3]?

vale basin
#

U mean f’(zeta1)?

#

Or zeta1

cerulean vortex
#

f'(zeta1)=(f(5)-f(3))/(5-3)

vale basin
#

Multiply both side by 2

cerulean vortex
#

2f'(zeta1)=f(5)-f(3)

vale basin
#

Yeah that seems correct I am getting confused by the variables

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.

obtuse pasture
#

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

vale vapor

whats the first step

x/6=6/y?

might help to first figure out the prime factors of 4000

still steeple
#

k

#

its 2^5 x 5^3

fickle silo

so the first 2 terms must be something with 2 and 5

first term a second b

#

then

#

ab

#

ab^2

#

a^2b^3

#

a^3b^5

#

and so on

#

i js found one on yt

because

waxen ingot
#

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.

waxen ingot
#

heres my workings just in case sorry it's mucky I didn't think I'd be showing people

timid sky
#

it in fact is bugging

waxen ingot
#

poop

#

:(

timid sky
#

you're correct dw

waxen ingot
#

it sucks because it gives you a fraction if you have a question wrong

haughty fulcrum
#

perhaps they wanted 2(x+1/2)

waxen ingot
#

so now my score looks like this

haughty fulcrum
#

i would ask your teacher

waxen ingot
#

they said "three linear factors" specifically i think

#

I'm doing it by myself, no teacher

timid sky
#

ah thats a bummer. Big issue with online assignments i guess. But yeah do flag this to your TA/professor

waxen ingot
#

guess thats the risk yeah

haughty fulcrum
#

yeah that probably meant a(x-q)(x-r)(x-s)

timid sky
waxen ingot
#

nope

timid sky
#

i mean does the grade actually matter then

waxen ingot
#

its free so i cant complain much but

haughty fulcrum
#

do you get answers?

waxen ingot
#

weirdly sometimes

#

sometimes not

#

its very strange

#

its a free imperial college london course so youd think theyd be a bit more careful but

timid sky
#

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

haughty fulcrum
#

youre supposed to use rational root theorem

#

so it should be all but 4

waxen ingot
#

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

timid sky
#

lol i love how they didn't give enough of a shit to truncate their floats either

haughty fulcrum
#

what the

timid sky
#

this seems like something an intern made on the fly

waxen ingot
#

it works if you rearrange it

#

thats so dumb

#

mhm

#

thank you for your help either way

i don't know what you wanted to mean exactly

is there an acceptable way to only write half of the big "worm" if the other half stays the same

so i just need see the last answer right

for example here. The other half stays the same

#

do I have to write it all again ?

narrow hound
#

the 3(x+1)(x-1)

#

you want to keep that

#

or rewrite it into something else?

civic flax
#

im tryina rewrite everything in a simpler form. That's not the issue

#

i want to ask if I always have to write the part that doesnt change

#

like

#

this shit stays the same

#

do I have to keep writing? it takes a lot of time

narrow hound
#

yeah

civic flax
#

welp... this sucks ig

you can't just remove your denominator

olive sun
#

Could anybody please help out with this? I'm struggling to remember how we generally work with logistic equations

royal herald
#

@olive sun what have you tried?

clever fjordBOT
olive sun
#

Let's see

#

if I integrate it, it becomes H^2+t

#

but where do we go from there?

royal herald
#

cant integrate like that

olive sun
#

oh

#

+C

#

mb

royal herald
#

notice its a separable differential equation

royal herald
#

u need to get all terms with an H to one side, and all terms with a 't' to the other side

olive sun
#

Would I need to isolate H and use the formula like that?

#

Or do I just

olive sun
#

*dT on both sides, -2Hdt, and leave it as dH+2Hdt=1dt and integrate it like that?

royal herald
#

cant integrate with dH and dt on the same side

#

maybe think about it like this

olive sun
#

Sorry for my general incompetence, haven't done this in a while

royal herald
#

$\dv {H}{t} = [2H + 1]$

clever fjordBOT
olive sun
#

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

royal herald
#

ill give u a hint

olive sun
#

dH=dt[2H+1]

royal herald
#

keep going

olive sun
#

integrate

royal herald
#

no

olive sun
#

like that

#

oh

royal herald
#

get the H's on one side

olive sun
#

i was going with isolating the dH and dt instead

#

dH=2Hdt+dt
dH-2Hdt=dt

royal herald
#

no

olive sun
#

H isolated, but how we need to be rid of the dt on the second H

#

oh?

royal herald
#

dont distribute dt

#

dH=dt[2H+1]

olive sun
#

so i just move dH back with everything else?

royal herald
#

show me what you mean

olive sun
#

0=dt[2H+1]-dH
or alternatively, 1=dt[2H+1]/dH

royal herald
#

hm

#

not quite

#

dH=dt[2H+1]

olive sun
#

hold on, lemme recheck the question to see if there are any actual given values

royal herald
#

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

olive sun
#

divide the entire thing by Z

royal herald
#

good

olive sun
#

OH

#

I SEE

royal herald
#

tell me what you see

olive sun
#

We divide by 2H+1, and then

#

we end up with dH/[2h+1]=dt

royal herald
#

Yes

clever fjordBOT
olive sun
#

and from here, this looks integratable

#

or

royal herald
#

keep going

olive sun
#

USub?

#

no usub

#

alr

royal herald
#

just do what you need

clever fjordBOT
olive sun
#

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

royal herald
olive sun
#

right direction?

royal herald
#

yes

#

but u forgot one thing

olive sun
#

it's 1dt, which, deriving would be t/1

royal herald
#

try differentiating the left side of ur solution - see what you get

olive sun
#

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

royal herald
olive sun
#

and then derive?

#

integrate*

frosty badge
#

@royal herald may i give him a small hint on where he messed up?

olive sun
#

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

royal herald
#

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

olive sun
#

And how is the second C dealt with?

royal herald
#

note that 2C = C cuz its just an arbitrary constant

olive sun
#

oh

#

fair

royal herald
#

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 ?

olive sun
#

D

#

Thank you so much

#

I really appreciate all the help

royal herald
#

np

olive sun
#

What should i look out for in future questions like this?

#

Common mistakes i make

royal herald
#

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

olive sun
#

Yeah, I fear usub with blazing terror

royal herald
#

thats abt it I think

royal herald
olive sun
#

Integration By Parts felt easier in every way

#

Usub requires some indirect work

royal herald
olive sun
#

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

royal herald
royal herald
#

good luck

olive sun
#

have a wonderful rest of your day!

plain spire

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?

vale vapor
#

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

do you understand the concept of induction?

vale vapor
plain spire
#

n>=1

vale vapor
#

thats not a base case

#

base case is just one n

plain spire
vale vapor
#

do you know induction?

#

how it works

plain spire
#

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

vale vapor
#

can you try to explain to me how induction works

#

what are the steps needed for it

dusty burrow
#

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)

vale vapor
#

induction works like dominos, you push one of the dominos over and all the other ones fall

plain spire
#

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

vale vapor
#

what youre trying to explain doesnt really make sense

dusty burrow
#

yeah

vale vapor
#

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

Just I didn't explain it well

vale vapor
plain spire
#

n

vale vapor
#

base case is always a number

#

not a variable

#

base case n doesnt make sense

dusty burrow
#

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

plain spire
#

I mean I study in french so I have to translate and everything to understand

dusty burrow
#

thats the first step in every induction problem

#

ah i see

#

you in quebec?

plain spire
#

no in Belgium

dusty burrow
#

oh

vale vapor
#

$P(n): 1^2+2^2+3^2+...+n^2=\sum_{i=1}^n i^2=\frac16 n(n+1)(2n+1)$

clever fjordBOT
vale vapor
#

base case: $P(1): 1^2=1=\frac16 \cdot 1\cdot (1+1)\cdot(2\cdot 1+1))=\frac16\cdot1\cdot2\cdot3=1$

dusty burrow
#

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

clever fjordBOT
vale vapor
#

Thus the base case is true

#

now you need to show that $P(k)\implies P(k+1)$

clever fjordBOT
vale vapor
# clever fjord **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

plain spire
#

isn't it the other way like I use P(k+1) to arrive at P(k) to prove that it's true?

dusty burrow
#

no?

#

is this normal induction?

vale vapor
#

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

#

$(p\implies q) \neq (q\implies p)$

plain spire
clever fjordBOT
vale vapor
#

with that you can prove everything

#

ill give you a first step to your example

#

$1^2+2^2+3^2+...+n^2=\frac16 n(n+1)(2n+1)\1^2+2^2+3^2+...+n^2+(n+1)^2=\frac16 n(n+1)(2n+1) + (n+1)^2$

clever fjordBOT
vale vapor
#

so somehow, you need to go from the RHS to $\frac16 (n+1)((n+1)+1)(2(n+1)+1)$

clever fjordBOT
vale vapor
#

if yo are able to show that, theny ou have shown P(n) to be true for all n>=1

#

make sense?

vale vapor
plain spire
vale vapor
dusty burrow
vale vapor
#

(so yes)

vale vapor
dusty burrow
vale vapor
#

we need to show:
$1^2+2^2+3^2+...+k^2=\frac16 k(k+1)(2k+1)\implies \1^2+2^2+3^2+...+k^2+(k+1)^2=\frac16 (k+1)((k+1)+1)(2(k+1)+1)$

clever fjordBOT
dusty burrow
#

OH OH i see what u mean mb

plain spire
vale vapor
#

is add (k+1)^2 to both sides

#

making it so that our LHS is as desired

vale vapor
#

and all we have left to show is that $\frac16 k(k+1)(2k+1) + (k+1)^2=\\frac16 (k+1)((k+1)+1)(2(k+1)+1)$

You can surely only treat that side and then use your proprety P to see if this make it true

mais genre c'est mieux quand meme de passer par k nn?

odd adder
#

for finding "next term in sequence" questions, why can't you just say those questions are flawed ?

odd adder
#

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

frigid canopy
#

Well, technically they are but don't argue with the hand that feeds you ( or in this case grades you)

#

Any specific examples?

odd adder
#

no specific examples

warped glacier
odd adder
#

i guess we all are somewhat familiar with those type of questions right

warped glacier
#

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

frigid canopy
warped glacier
#

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

frigid canopy
#

In general first look for common patters

#

like the difference increases in a certain way

warped glacier
#

unless they're collinear or some shit but hey

odd adder
#

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

is 1/x^2+1 same as tan inverse

sand horizon

Its the derivative of arctan

supple thunder

but

#

it says

#

its

#

1/x^2-1

low locust
#

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

supple thunder
#

mb gng

warped glacier
#

yeah so like the hyperbolic functions have analogues like this

#

replace - with +

stuck raven
#

that is hyperbolic

warped glacier
#

there is a proper proof (I guess tanh y = (sinh y)/(cosh y) = x and implicit diff)

warped glacier
#

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 ?

dense moth
#

Take approximation, through integration

modern folio
#

so is 2*sqrt(n)?

boreal crag
#

It's a finite partial sum?

modern folio
#

yes

boreal crag
#

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

boreal crag
#

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 $2\sqrt{49}-2\sqrt{1}=12$

clever fjordBOT

boreal crag

,w sum of 1/sqrt(x) from 1 to 49

dense moth
#

@modern folio you there ?

modern folio
#

sry , I was watching over an video of Riemann sum , I am an noob right naw on this subject

#

sorry for the lost time

dense moth
#

Dreyuk gave a good description to consider

low locust
#

someone really should draw the relevant picture

boreal crag
#

fr

#

but am on mobile

#

else I would desmos it

#

a = [1,2,3,4,5]

dense moth
boreal crag
#

a-1<x<a{0<y<1/sqrt(a)}

#

this should be the relevant desmos code if someone wants to type it up lol

boreal crag
#

ah

#

yeah it won't show riemann sums

modern folio
#

is OK i understood now , thx for your time and have a great day !!!

boreal crag

wow, I didn't even know it would work with the slash for division lol

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.

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.

dense moth
#

So 10a+b = ab + a + b

#

Or 9a = ab

#

Or a ≠ 0

#

So b = 9

#

And a can be anything
