DCC Mathematical Competition(prizes)


Recommended Posts

I am going to start the DCC Mathematical Competition, 5 problems of enigmatic mathematics, mind-busting problems, and prizes!

Rules

-------

1. All problems must be completed in two weeks.

2.All competitors must PM me their answers, privately.

3.  Paypal or Steam are accepted payment processes. 

4. There is only one attempt.

---------------

Prizes

10$ to the one who solves the most problems, in steam.

================

Problems:

1.Find the sum of the two solutions of x^2+2x-4=0.

2. Find the sum of all numbers from 1^2....to 100^2.

3. n(2n+1)(2n-1) is divisible by 3 for all posiitve integers . True or false?

4. 

Does Sigmaln(cos(1/n)) converge?

5. Prove that (n+1)!/(n-1)!=n(n+1)

I was expecting a difficult quiz from you. 
I easily did 4 questions except the 4th one for I've not studied it yet. But still, there's a 50% chance I'll get that right. :P 

Well for the other people on this forum.... heh.

Can we write the solutions (some of them are proofs) on paper and click pics and send them to you?

 

Yes./]

THE WINNER IS MASTER FLAP

The next 5 questions are...

1.  Let $f(x)$ be a polynomial with real coefficients. Show that $f(x)$ can be written as difference of two increasing polynomials.

2.  The solutions of $64x^3 -96x^2 -52x +42 = 0$ form an arithmetic progression. Compute the difference between the largest and smallest of the three solutions.

3.  $0.1\times 0.3 + 0.2 \times 0.4 + 0.3\times0.5+...+9.8\times 10.0$ = ??

4.  Determine all pairs of integers $(x, y)$ with satisfy the equation

$6x^2-3xy-13x+5y = -11$

5.  \[ x^2 \sin{x} + x \cos{x} + x^2 + \frac{1}{2} > 0 . \]  Prove this.

As a reward for harder problems, I will give 15 dollars!

Working on that. I still have not received the first 10 dollars.
