Prove the following statements using strong induction: n 1. Σ γ = i=0 1-p+1 1-r for every non-negative integer n and every real number r 1. 2. Suppose that a store offers gift certificates in denominations of $3 and $5. Then any item priced at an integer number of dollars of value at least $8 can be paid for with these gift certificates without a need to use any other form of currency. For example, an item priced $16 can be paid with two $3 gift certificates and two $5 gift certificates.

However, Sasha comprehends that enchanted squares have as of now been examined by many individuals, so he sees no feeling of concentrating on them further. All things considered, he designed his own kind of square — a superb square. A square of size n×n is called prime if the accompanying three conditions are held all the while: all numbers on the square are non-negative integers not surpassing 105; there are no indivisible numbers in the square; amounts of integers in each line and every segment are indivisible numbers. Sasha has an integer n. He requests you to view as any great square from size n×n. Sasha is certain beyond a shadow of a doubt such squares exist, so help him! Input The principal line contains a solitary integer t (1≤t≤10) — the number of experiments. Every one…
A prime number is a natural number greater than 1 which is not a product of two smaller natural numbers. Prove or disprove: For every integer q, if q > 7, then q can be written as q = (a + b * c) such that the following properties hold a and b are prime numbers, c is an integer greater than 1.

For instance, assuming n=4, a=[1,2,4,3], one of the choices for the game (there could be different choices) is: during the main game, the first and fourth players were chosen. The fourth player has more tokens, so he takes the main player's tokens. Presently a=[0,2,4,4]; during the subsequent game, the fourth and third players were chosen. They have similar number of tokens, yet arbitrarily, the third player is the champ. Presently a=[0,2,8,0]; during the third game, the second and third players were chosen. The third player has more tokens, so he requires the second player's tokens. Presently a=[0,0,10,0]; the third player is proclaimed the victor of the title. Title champs will get customized prizes. Consequently, the adjudicators need to know ahead of time which players get an opportunity of winning,…
Correct answer will be upvoted else downvoted. Computer science. Positive integer x is called divisor of positive integer y, in case y is distinguishable by x without remaining portion. For instance, 1 is a divisor of 7 and 3 isn't divisor of 8. We gave you an integer d and requested that you track down the littlest positive integer a, to such an extent that a has no less than 4 divisors; contrast between any two divisors of an is essentially d. Input The primary line contains a solitary integer t (1≤t≤3000) — the number of experiments. The primary line of each experiment contains a solitary integer d (1≤d≤10000). Output For each experiment print one integer a — the response for this experiment.

To make the race intriguing, you have wagered a dollars and Ronnie has wagered b dollars. Yet, the fans appear to be frustrated. The fervor of the fans is given by gcd(a,b), where gcd(x,y) means the best normal divisor (GCD) of integers x and y. To make the race seriously invigorating, you can perform two kinds of activities: Increment both an and b by 1. Diminishing both an and b by 1. This activity must be performed if both an and b are more noteworthy than 0. In one action, you can play out any of these activities. You can perform self-assertive (potentially zero) number of moves. Decide the greatest energy the fans can get and the base number of moves needed to accomplish it. Note that gcd(x,0)=x for any x≥0. Input The principal line of input contains a solitary integer t (1≤t≤5⋅103) — the number of experiments.…

Thusly, every cell (x, y) has precisely three neighbors: (x+1, y) (x−1, y) (x+1, y−1) in case x is even and (x−1, y+1) in any case. At first a few cells are contaminated, all the others are sound. The course of recuperation starts. Each second, for precisely one cell (despite the fact that there may be different cells that could change its state) one of the accompanying occurs: A sound cell with something like 2 contaminated neighbors likewise becomes tainted. A contaminated cell with something like 2 solid neighbors likewise becomes sound. In the event that no such cell exists, the course of recuperation stops. Patient is considered recuperated if the course of recuperation has halted and every one of the cells are solid. We're keen on a most dire outcome imaginable: is it conceivable that the patient…
Conway's Game of Life: This is a zero person game with the following rules: (see Wikipedia for example) Any live cell with fewer than two live neighbours dies, as if by underpopulation. Any live cell with two or three live neighbours lives on to the next generation. Any live cell with more than three live neighbours dies, as if by overpopulation. Any dead cell with exactly three live neighbours becomes a live cell, as if by reproduction. Remember the oscillator or blinker of 3 cells. You can also find this blinker on Wikipedia. 1 21 1 2 1 21 3. 4 6 4. 6. 4 8. 9 8 9 #1 #2. #3 5. Consider now these 3 creatures at stage 1: Show how they look like in the next two stages: stage 2 and stage 3. Explain how you get the answers Creature 1 Creature 2 Creature 3 (here creature 1 is the blinker of 3 cells, horizontally; creature 2 consists of two adjacent cells, creature 3 consists of 4 adjacent cells horiztonally) ww (d) Creature 1 (10%), (e) Creature 2 (8%), (f) Creature 3 (20%)
9. Let m, n are integers. Use a proof by contraposition to prove that if m*n is even, then m is even or n is even. 10. Let n be an integer. Use a proof by contradiction to prove that if 3n+2 is even, then n is even.
In a candy store, there are N different types of candies available and the prices of all the N different types of candies are provided to you. You are now provided with an attractive offer. You can buy a single candy from the store and get at most K other candies ( all are different types ) for free. Now you have to answer two questions. Firstly, you have to find what is the minimum amount of money you have to spend to buy all the N different candies. Secondly, you have to find what is the maximum amount of money you have to spend to buy all the N different candies. In both the cases you must utilize the offer i.e. you buy one candy and get K other candies for free. Example 1: Input: N = 4 K = 2 %3D candies[] = {3 2 1 4} Output: 3 7
Find the error in the following argument: Theorem. All computer programs contain the same number of bugs. Proof. If we show that any set of n programs contains the same number of bugs, then we have proved the theorem. We argue by induction on n. If n=1 then in any set of 1 program, all the programs contain the same number of bugs, so the statement is true, in this case. Now suppose that for every set of programs containing less then n programs, all the programs have the same number of bugs. Let DD be a set of n programs p1,p2,…,pn. Now the set D1={p2,…,pn} contains n−1 programs and hence they all contain the same number of bugs, by the induction hypothesis. Similarly the set D2={p1,…,pn−1} contains n−1 programs and hence they all contain the same number of bugs. In particular p1 and pn contains the same number of bugs as the other programs in the set. Hence all the programs contain the same number of bugs.
Suppose a person can buy a chocolate bar from the vending machine for $1 each. Inside every chocolate bar is a coupon. A person can redeem 3 coupons for one chocolate bar from the machine. This means that once a person has started buying chocolate bars from the machine, he/she always has some coupons. A person would like to know how many chocolate bars can be bought, if a person starts with N dollars and always redeem coupons, if he/she has enough for an additional chocolate bar. For example: With 3 dollars a person could buy 4 chocolate bars after purchasing 3 bars giving him/her 3 coupons and then redeeming the 3 coupons for one bar. This would leave him/her with one extra coupon. Thus, will have 4 chocolate bars and still have one coupon leftover. For 11 dollars, a person can have 16 chocolate bars and still have one coupon leftover. For 12 dollars, a person can have 17 chocolate bars and have two coupons leftover. Write a complete Python program that prompts a buyer to input…
Five members of an obesity club want to know how much they have lost or gained weight since the last time they met. To do this, they carry out a weighing ritual where each one is weighed on ten different scales in order to have a more accurate average of their weight. If there is a positive difference between this average weight and the weight of the last time they met, it means that they gained weight. But if the difference is negative, it means that they lost weight. What the problem requires is that for each person a sign is printed that says "went up" or "under" and the amount of pounds. Write a program in C++ that uses a function. The user must enter the initial weight and the 10 weights of the scales. Please do not use arrays or vector
