Hi iamaditya,(really it is false;it is you who is aditya)
Suppose only first and second equations are given with a,b,c as positive integers. Can you evolve a method to find the numbers? Not purely hit and try method (Ram bharosa method) but with some logic in it.

hi evene,
Can you check the nth term by substituting n=1,2,3 etc.?

#154 Re: Help Me ! » Help me » 2016-11-19 04:54:45

You mean permutation or combination?

#155 Re: Help Me ! » Problems in Math Competition: » 2016-11-18 21:36:24

I have not given the answer. It was you.That is only one way thinking.One could think in other ways also like a problem of combinations only.

hi dazzle,
Have you realized there are infinite number of circles meeting the criterion but product of y coordinates remaining constant?

In (2) first term ab is clear ;second and third terms have c common i.e.c(a+b)=c(10-c). i hope you can simplify further.

The nth term of the serie should be


I think the proof is too elementary and no help should be sought from the forum.

#163 Re: Help Me ! » Proving the following factorizations » 2016-11-17 15:37:50

First ensure remainder is zero and then use long division.

#164 Re: Help Me ! » Algebra Problems » 2016-11-12 16:47:37

discriminant  a^2-4b>0  but 4a>-4b So a^2+4a>0  i.e. a^2+4a+4>4;  (a+2)^2>4 which means |a+2|>2
I think my hint did not provoke you.

Lay them side by side with common side. Same height and equal base. Proved.

#167 Re: Help Me ! » Solve for u and solve for v » 2016-11-11 17:10:28

In (1) Put v=ut ;u can be written in terms of t but t itself is v/u.

#168 Re: Help Me ! » Solve for u and solve for v » 2016-11-10 18:21:30

For (2) What is wrong with


If this is acceptable I have a plan for (1)

#169 Re: Help Me ! » Series and Sequence Urgent Problem. » 2016-11-07 20:41:06

Leave the first term. Others are in Geometric progression.Sum them up and you get the result.

#170 Re: Help Me ! » Algebra Problems » 2016-11-07 19:59:05

I think in  Q.3 there is something missing. What exactly is ths? \frac 1{x_1}+\frac 1{x_2}<1
evene's interpretation does not seem to be what is intended or something is missing.

#173 Re: Help Me ! » What condition makes this equation true? » 2016-11-05 16:19:08

Probably m=n=1 and t=1 may be the minimum restraints to make them equal,unless it is considered trivial.

for m in terms of n,s,t.

How do I evaluate this? (Note that I mostly need help with the actual algebra part)
