don't understand it at all

#353 Re: Help Me ! » What is the answer? » 2007-03-07 16:27:34

Think harder! the solution will be obvious when you draw the graph

#354 Re: Help Me ! » help needed » 2007-03-07 16:22:59

In Z17, 5^2>17 , therefore the solutions exist only above or equal to 5. Let X be the solution ,

solve this one .Oh...I forgot how to solve this equation....I am sure it can be solved.

Nobody?? Really urgent~

#356 Re: Help Me ! » Math Help » 2007-03-07 16:14:43

The following formula comes from Graduate Text ,Elementary Number Theory by Melvyn B.Nathanson

#357 Re: Help Me ! » Math Help » 2007-03-07 16:13:38

For any nonzero integer n and prime number p, we define

as the greatest integer r such that
divides n.

For every positive integer n and prime p


Example : 10!





therefore

Oh , I know now.

     0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 ........n
0   0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0   0 ........0
1   0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10.........n
2   .........................................

Yeah, but can't it be solved by Modulo method?

#360 Re: Help Me ! » tingle » 2007-03-07 11:16:51

simplified ,get

Looks very symmetric~lol

#361 Re: Help Me ! » tingle » 2007-03-07 11:00:37

cosa=cosb=cosc=1/2 my first impression. lol

Construct the multiplication table for the ring

.

What's multi table? My textbook doesnt tell~

#363 Re: Help Me ! » Pythagoras Triple » 2007-03-07 10:55:08

yeah , I know I need to prove this one , but I can't crack it. I think maybe using the Pythagoras number generating forumla will work?

,oh , it won't work either...gotta find a way around

#365 Re: Help Me ! » Pythagoras Triple » 2007-03-07 10:38:33

I am so stupid , I have no clue,help me out

I practice Counter Strike in my spare time , anyone want to team up and fight for glory? lol

When is  1+x^1+x^2+x^3........x^m=y^n for x,y,m,n>=3

for example 1+3+3^2+...3^4=11^2


I try everything I can think of , stilll hehe

#372 Re: Help Me ! » Some problems from my textbook » 2007-02-17 14:25:22

Oh , right , just use modula to show can't all be primes .

Another question how to construct muplication table for ring ?

#373 Re: Help Me ! » Some problems from my textbook » 2007-02-15 06:51:50

First , I can solve half of the section , As, I learn more and more I can solve fewer and fewer problems...Help!

Here another two
7.Let 2=p(1)<p(2)<.... be the sequence of primes in increasing order Prove that p(n)<=2^2^(n-1) for all n>=1


8.Let a and b be positive integers with a>b . The length of the Euclidean algorithm for a and b, denoted by E(a,b) , is the number of divisions required to find the greatest common divisor of a and b . Prove that E(a,b)<= (logb/log@)+1  , where @= (1+5^1/2)/2  [I think this one is the hardest ]

1.Find all solutions of the Ramanujan-Nagell diophantine equation x^2+7=2^n  with x<=1000

2.Find all solutions of the Ljunggren diophantine equation x^2 - 2y^4=-1

3.For n>=1 consider the rational number, h(n)=1+1/2+1/3+......+1/n
  Prove that h(n) is not an integer for any x>=2

4.Prove that n, n+2, n+4 are all primes if and only if n=3.

5.The prime numbers p and q are called twin primes if |p-q|=2, Prove that if p and q are twin primes greater than 3 then q+p is divisible by 12

6.Prove that if x,y,z are integer such that x^2+y^2=z^2 , then xyz=0(mod 60)  [note that = is modula =]

This text book Elementary Methods in Number Theory is madness , some exercises even require you to prove theorems that put forward by Mathematician.Anyone read it ?written by Melvyn B.Nathanson.
