Exercises in Elementary Number Theory (II)

Exercise 1 Let \(x_{n} \) be a sequence of positive integers so defined: \[ \begin{array}{l} x_{1}= 2 \\ x_{n + 1} = x_{n}^{2} – x_{n} +1 \quad n \gt 1 \\ \end{array} \] Prove that the numbers \(x_{n} \) are pairwise relatively prime. SolutionThe values of the sequence are obtained Read more…

Exercises in Elementary Number Theory (I)

In this article we propose some exercises on Elementary Number Theory; they don’t require advanced mathematical knowledge. Other articles will follow with exercises related to this beautiful branch of mathematics. We recall that the symbol \(\left\lfloor x \right\rfloor\) denotes the integer part of the real number \(x\), i.e. the largest Read more…

Euler’s Polygon Triangulation Problem

Problem Let P be a convex polygon with \(n \) sides. Calculate in how many different ways the polygon can be divided into triangles using diagonals that do not intersect each other in the interior of P. This problem was proposed by Euler in 1751 to his friend Christian Goldbach. Read more…

Counting Numbers with Adjacent Digits

Problem Suppose we only use the digits of the set \(A = \{1,2,3,4,5 \} \). How many numbers of \(n\) digits can be formed with the set \(A\), if all adjacent digits differ exactly by \(1\)? We denote the number we are looking for with \(a(n) \). HintIf \(n = Read more…

Number of Rectangles in a Square Lattice

Problem 1 Let a square lattice of dimensions \(n \times n\) be given.Calculate the number \(R\) of different rectangles which can be drawn, with the vertices in the lattice points.Two rectangles are considered different if they have different sizes or are in different positions. SolutionLet us first consider the case Read more…

Steiner’s Division of Plane and Space

Problem 1 Calculate the maximum number of parts in which a plane can be divided by \(n\) lines. Solution 1.1A necessary condition is that the \(n\) lines must intersect two by two and no three lines intersect at the same point. We can proceed by induction: once we draw \(k\) lines, Read more…

Three Geometry Problems on Maxima and Minima

Exercise 1 A square and a triangle have the same area. Which shape has the greatest perimeter? HintIt may be useful to remember the following formula: Arithmetic Mean-Geometric Mean InequalityLet \(x_{1},x_{2}, \dots x_{n}\) be non-negative real numbers; then: \[ \dfrac {x_{1}+ x_{2} + \cdots x_{n}}{n} \ge \sqrt[n]{ x_{1}x_{2} \cdots x_{n}} Read more…
