Homework, Duality, Euler Number and Cheenta this week!

Hello mathematician! I do not like homework. They are boring ‘to do’ and infinitely more boring to ‘create and grade’. I would rather read Hilbert’s ‘Geometry and Imagination’ or Abanindranath’s ‘Khirer Putul’ at that time. Academy Award winner Michael...

I.S.I. Entrance Solution Sequence of isosceles triangles -2018 Problem 6

Let, $$a \geq b \geq c > 0$$ be real numbers such that for all natural number n, there exist triangles of side lengths $$a^n,b^n,c^n$$ Prove that the triangles are isosceles. If a, b, c are sides of a triangle, triangular inequality assures that difference of...

Bases, Exponents and Role reversals (I.S.I. Entrance 2018 Problem 7 Discussion)

Let $$a, b, c$$ are natural numbers such that $$a^{2}+b^{2}=c^{2}$$ and $$c-b=1$$. Prove that (i) a is odd. (ii) b is divisible by 4 (iii) $$a^{b}+b^{a}$$ is divisible by c Notice that $$a^2 = c^2 - b^2 = (c+b)(c-b)$$ But c - b = 1. Hence $$a^2 = c + b$$. But c...

Limit is Euler!

Let $$\{a_n\}_{n\ge 1}$$ be a sequence of real numbers such that $$a_n = \frac{1 + 2 + ... + (2n-1)}{n!} , n \ge 1$$ . Then $$\sum_{n \ge 1 } a_n$$ converges to ____________ Notice that $$1 + 3 + 5 + ... + (2n-1) = n^2$$. A quick way to remember this is sum of...

Real Surds – Problem 2 Pre RMO 2017

Suppose $$a,b$$ are positive real numbers such that $$a\sqrt{a}+b\sqrt{b}=183$$. $$a\sqrt{b}+b\sqrt{a}=182$$. Find $$\frac{9}{5}(a+b)$$. This problem will use the following elementary algebraic identity: $$(x+y)^3 = x^3 + y^3 + 3x^2y + 3xy^2$$ Can you...

Integers in a Triangle – AMC 10A

There is an intuitive definition of perpendicularity. It does not involve angle. Instead, it involves the notion of distance. Consider a point P and a line L not passing through it. If you wish to walk from P to L, the path of shortest distance is the perpendicular...

Tools in Geometry for Pre RMO, RMO and I.S.I. Entrance
