The real numbers \(a,b,c\) are non-zero and satisfy the following equations: \[\left\{ \begin{array}{l} a^2 +a = b^2 \\ b^2 +b = c^2 \\ c^2 +c = a^2. \end{array} \right.\] Show that \((a-b)(b-c)(c-a)=1\).
A five-digit number is called indecomposable if it is not decomposed into the product of two three-digit numbers. What is the largest number of indecomposable five-digit numbers that can come in a row?
Find the representation of \((a+b)^n\) as the sum of \(X_{n,k}a^kb^{n-k}\) for general \(n\). Here by \(X_{n,k}\) we denote coefficients that depend only on \(k\) and \(n\).
