Prove that the number \(\sqrt {2} + \sqrt {3} + \sqrt {5} + \sqrt {7} + \sqrt {11} + \sqrt {13} + \sqrt {17}\) is irrational.
Prove that there is at most one point of an integer lattice on a circle with centre at \((\sqrt 2, \sqrt 3)\).
Prove that if \((m, 10) = 1\), then there is a repeated unit \(E_n\) that is divisible by \(m\). Will there be infinitely many repeated units?
There are 4 weights and scales. How many loads that are different by weight can be accurately weighed using these weights, if
a) weights can be placed only on one side of the scales;
b) weights can be placed on both sides of the scales?
Will thought of a number: 1, 2 or 3. You can ask him only one question, to which he can answer “yes”, “no” or “I do not know”. Can you guess the number by asking just one question?
Is it possible to draw from some point on a plane \(n\) tangents to a polynomial of \(n\)-th power?
Prove the following formulae are true: \[\begin{aligned} a^{n + 1} - b^{n + 1} &= (a - b) (a^n + a^{n-1}b + \dots + b^n);\\ a^{2n + 1} + b^{2n + 1} &= (a + b) (a^{2n} - a^{2n-1}b + a^{2n-2}b^2 - \dots + b^{2n}). \end{aligned}\]
Prove that if \((p, q) = 1\) and \(p/q\) is a rational root of the polynomial \(P (x) = a_nx^n + \dots + a_1x + a_0\) with integer coefficients, then
a) \(a_0\) is divisible by \(p\);
b) \(a_n\) is divisible by \(q\).
Derive from the theorem in question 61013 that \(\sqrt{17}\) is an irrational number.
Prove that for \(n> 0\) the polynomial \(nx^{n + 1} - (n + 1) x^n + 1\) is divisible by \((x - 1)^2\).
