Correct answer will be upvoted else downvoted. Computer science. Allow us to signify by d(n) the amount of all divisors of the number n, for example d(n)=∑k|nk. For instance, d(1)=1, d(4)=1+2+4=7, d(6)=1+2+3+6=12. For a given number c, track down the base n to such an extent that d(n)=c. Input The principal line contains one integer t (1≤t≤104). Then, at that point, t experiments follow. Each experiment is characterized by one integer c (1≤c≤107). Output For each experiment, output: "- 1" in case there is no such n that d(n)=c; n, in any case.
Show that the following statements are equivalent, where n is an integer greater than or equal to 2. Feel free to consider any of the following pairs. 1. “n is even” and “n – 1 is odd”2. “n is even” and “n2 is even”3. “n – 1 is odd” and “n2 is even” with Step By step explanation please
Use direct proof to show, "If m+n and n+p are even integers (s and t), where m, n and p are integers then m+p is even"
For each of the statements below, determine for yourself if the statement is true orfalse. If it is true, write a direct proof. If it is false, use a counterexample to show that it is false(a) For all integers m and n, if mn ≡ 0 (mod 8), then m ≡ 0 (mod 8) orn ≡ 0 (mod 8).(b) For all integers a, if a ≡ 7 (mod 10), then a^2 ≡ 9 (mod 10).
Correct answer will be upvoted else downvoted. Computer science. stage is a succession of n integers from 1 to n, in which every one of the numbers happen precisely once. For instance, [1], [3,5,2,1,4], [1,3,2] are stages, and [2,3,2], [4,3,1], [0] are not. Polycarp was given four integers n, l, r (1≤l≤r≤n) and s (1≤s≤n(n+1)2) and requested to find a stage p of numbers from 1 to n that fulfills the accompanying condition: s=pl+pl+1+… +pr. For instance, for n=5, l=3, r=5, and s=8, the accompanying stages are reasonable (not all choices are recorded): p=[3,4,5,2,1]; p=[5,2,4,3,1]; p=[5,2,1,3,4]. However, for instance, there is no change reasonable for the condition above for n=4, l=1, r=1, and s=5. Help Polycarp, for the given n, l, r, and s, find a stage of numbers from 1 to n that fits the condition above. In case there are a few appropriate changes, print any of them. Input The primary line contains a solitary integer t (1≤t≤500). Then, at that point,…
What is wrong with the following “proof” that an odd number minus an even number is always 1? Let x be odd and y be even. Then x = 2m + 1, and y = 2m, where m is an integer, and x − y = 2m + 1 − 2m = 1.
Write an indirect proof to show is 3m-1 is even, then m is an odd integer.
Informal Proofs Use strong induction to show that every positive integer, n, can be written as a sum of distinct powers of two: 20, 21, 22, 23, ...:1 = 20, 2 = 21, 3 = 20 + 21, ....
Are any of the following implications always true? Prove or give a counter-example.a) f(n) = Θ(g(n)) ⇒ f(n) = cg(n) + o(g(n)), for some real constant c > 0. (Here small o) b) f(n) = Θ(g(n)) ⇒ f(n) = cg(n) + O(g(n)), for some real constant c > 0.(here big O) Please complete both
1. Let x ∈ Z. Use a direct proof to show that if 5x2 + 8 is odd then x is odd. 2. Show by contraposition that for positive real numbers a and b, if ab − a − b ≥ 0 then a and b are both more than 1. 3. Prove by contradiction that if m and n are integers, then m2- n2 is even or m + n is odd
Write a formal proof for the following biconditional statement.For all integers n, n^3 is even if and only if n is even.[Hint: For one of the two directions of this proof, you might want to consider a proof using the contrapositive.][Reminder: You may use the parity property, which states that each integeris either even or odd, but not both.]
Modeling the spread of a virus like COVID-19 using recursion. Let N = total population (assumed constant, disregarding deaths, births, immigration, and emigration). S n = number who are susceptible to the disease at time n (n is in weeks). I n = number who are infected (and contagious) at time n. R n = number who are recovered (and not contagiuous) at time n. The total population is divided between these three groups: N = S n + I n + R n There are several hidden assumptions here that may or may not apply to COVID-19, such as a recovered person is assumed to not be able to get the disease a second time, at least within the time window being examined. On week 0 (the start), you assume a certain small number of people have the infection (just to get things going). Everyone else is initially susceptible, and no one is recovered. There are two constants of interest: Let period = time period that it takes for an infected person to recover (recover meaning they become not infectious to…
