A 10-digit number is said to be interesting if its digits are all distinct and it is a multiple of 11111. How many interesting integers are there? Thanks and...

... If this is a real maths puzzle - where there is only one answer - then the professor shook hands with only 1 person. If N = 1, there is the professor [P]...
... Oh, I overlooked the possibility of 2 - the professor may have done one of those double-handed shakes with A - so actually shook 2 hands, while only...

So in that case, what pair of numbers in the list 2N,0; 2N-1,1; 2N-2,2; 2N-3,3; … ; N,N. is before N,N, or tp put it another way, 2N-N, N? I believe it is...

This is called the HANDSHAKING LEMMA, which is usually discussed at Graph Theory courses. the answer is 2(N+1). A University professor and his wife has decided...
The answer in fact is 68. I was at a swingers party recently and I invited everyone leaving to put into a hat a piece of paper with the number of people they...
Such a number (call it N) must be a multiple of 9 based on the sum of digits: 0+1+...+9 = 45. Since 9 doesn't divide 11111, N must be a multiple of 9*11111 =...
I have a question...... [sqrt(a)]*[(sqrt(b)] = sqrt(ab) Is this statement true for all real values of a and b or does it only apply for positive values of a...
... Quick (and deliberately incomplete) answer: Unless you're prepared to deal with roots of non-real numbers (not just imaginary-valued roots of negative...
a and b can be any real number. the exception is that when u do sqrt(-1)= i. where i is called an imaginary number. so in ur question about sqrt(-1)*sqrt(-1)=...
... A similar dilemma can occur even with roots of positive numbers. By convention we take sqrt(a) to be the positive root of `a' although there are really two...
... Answer in line ... 2N- ... Yes. A more complete list of pairs : 2N,0; 2N-1,1; 2N-2,2; 2N-3,3; . . . ;N+2,N-2;N+1,N-1; N,N. ... I don't understand this. If...
... The widely-used convention is, as you say, to take sqrt(x) (for x>0) to be the unique positive real y such that y^2=x. But sqrt denotes a function (on the...
I think I must have missed something... What in your workings out disqualifies a number such as 1234657890 from being one of the 3,456 interesting numbers? ......
The square root of -1 doesn't exist, so basically you're playing with fire. The letter i has been used to denote this "imaginary number", which in turn has a...
plz i want u to help me with this indices,it has been giving me problem for so long: solve for x 1. 2^2x=8x 2. 3^x+4^x=5^x thanks for helping me out!...
for the first question: 2^(2x)=(2^2)^x=4^x thus ur equation would be: 4^x=8x. from observation u can see that x=2. i am not sure how to solve it though...
