PROBLEM MA95 - Crux Mathematicorum V46N9

      The statement of the problem

En(p. 436)

Fr(p. 437)


 ANSWER CiP

Smallest prime factor 3; largest prime factor 673

    Solution CiP

    According to the formula

$1+2+\cdot \cdot \cdot +n=\frac{n(n+1)}{2}$

the number is 

 $M=2(1+2+\cdots +2018)+2019=2018 \cdot 2019+2019=2019^{2}$.

Because 2019 has the decomposition into prime factors $3 \cdot 673$ we get the answer.

Good answer see V47n04, pages  176-177

          And they get the result $M=2019^2$ and after applying the divisibility with 3 $(2+0+1+9=12=4 \cdot 3 )$ they obtain $2019^2=3^2 \cdot 673^2$. They further show that 637 is a prime number: check the divisibility criterions with 2, 3, 5 and 11; for 7, 13, 17, 19 and 23 (because $25^2=625 < 673< 676=26^2$) apply the division with the remainder ...

PROBLEM MA93 - Crux Mathematicorum V46N9

The statement of the problem

En(p. 436)

Fr(p. 437)

ANSWER CiP

$k=\frac{66}{7}$

Actually $x=2^{-\frac{48}{7}}, y=2^{\frac{36}{7}}, z=2^{\frac{78}{7}}$

 

          Solution CiP

     We use the formula ($a\in \mathbb{R},\;a>0,\;a\neq1$)

$log_{a^{k}}t^{k}=log_{a}t$, where $k\in \mathbb{R},\;k \neq 0,\;t>0$

which says that the logarithm of a number $t$ remains unchanged if the base of logarithm, $a$, and the number $t$ are raised to the same power $k$.

     The simultaneous equations in the statement are equivalent to (we take $k=\frac{1}{2}$ in the first term and $k=\frac{1}{3}$ in the second term of each equation)

$\begin{cases}log_{2}\sqrt{x}+log_{2} \sqrt[3]{yz}=2 \\log_{2}\sqrt{y}+ log_{2}\sqrt[3]{xz}=4 \\log_{2} \sqrt{z}+log_{2}\sqrt[3]{xy}=5 \end{cases}$

 and from here we obtain the equivalent equations

$\begin{cases}\sqrt{x}\cdot \sqrt[3]{yz}=2^{2}\\ \sqrt{y}\cdot \sqrt[3]{xz}=2^{4}\\ \sqrt{z} \cdot \sqrt[3]{xy}=2^{5} \end{cases}$                       (1).

     Suppose there are x, y and z for which the last equations are verified (otherwise any conclusion can be deduced). If we multiply the three equations we get

$\sqrt{xyz}\cdot \sqrt[3]{y^{2}z^{2}x^{2}}=2^{11}\Leftrightarrow (xyz)^{\frac{1}{2}+\frac{2}{3}}=2^{11}\Leftrightarrow xyz=2^{\frac{66}{7}}$

where do we get the answer.

      Replace in the first equation of (1) $yz=\frac{2^{\frac{66}{7}}}{x}$ we get

$x^{\frac{1}{2}}\cdot 2^{\frac{22}{7}}\cdot x^{-\frac{1}{3}}=2^{2}$ 

 where we get the value of $x=2^{-\frac{48}{7}}$. The same goes for $y=2^{\frac{36}{7}},\;z=2^{\frac{28}{7}}$ and these numbers check the initial equations.

$\blacksquare$

     Good answer see V447n04, pages 174-175 

          They sum up the equations and get

$log_4{x}+log_4{y}+log_4{z}+log_8{(yz)}+log_8{(zx)}+log_8{(xy)}=11$

 $\Leftrightarrow\;\;log_4{(xyz)}+log_8{x^2y^2z^2)}=11$.

 If we substitute $xyz=2^k$ we get $k\cdot log_4{2}+2k \cdot log_8{2}=11$ and since $log_4{2}=\frac{1}{2},\;\;log_8{2}=\frac{1}{3}$ we find that $\frac{k}{2}+\frac{2k}{3}=11$ hence $k=\frac{66}{7}$.

     Problem 1.  The expression of a positive integer, n in base b is

It is known that the expression of the integer 2n in the same base is

Determine the values of b and n in base 10.

 

ANSWER CiP $b=7$,  $n=480$

      Solution CiP

(1)     $n=1254_{b}=1\cdot b^{3}+2\cdot b^{2}+5\cdot b+4$

$2n=2541_{b}=2\cdot b^{3}+5\cdot b^{2}+4\cdot b+1$

so we have equation

$2(b^{3}+2b^{2}+5b+4)=2b^{3}+5b^{2}+4b+1$

 $\Leftrightarrow b^{2}-6\cdot b-7=0$,

that is, a simple equation of degree 2 whose roots are $b_{1}=-1$ and $b_{2}=7$. But it needs that $b>5$ so $b=7$ and n will be calculated quickly with formula (1), $n=1\cdot 7^{3}+2\cdot7^{2}+5\cdot 7+4=343+98+35+4=480$. It is easily verified that $2n=960=2541_{7}$.
