FORTRAN error "array bound is not scalar integer" I'd like to know if a loop can be created, inside which I can call a subroutine in which there are arrays to be defined whose size varies as a function of loop variable. I tried as following, but got error "array bound is not scalar integer"...

In his book, Spivak did the proof by using the distributive property of integer. I am wondering if this, I think, simpler proof will also work. I want to show that ##a \cdot 0 = 0## for all ##a## using only the very basic property (no negative multiplication yet). For all ##a \in...

Your calculator tells you that the quantity $y=(2\cdot\sqrt[3]{2}+1-\sqrt{12\cdot\sqrt[3]{2}-15})^3$ is approximately an integer. Is $y$ exactly an integer? Justify your answer.

$$w = \frac{(ab - d) }{c - a - b}$$ I have to solve the above equation for variables `c` and `d` if `w` can be any number from $$w \in (-\infty, +\infty)$$ If we set `w = 0, then w = 1` we can solve for `c and d` $$0 = ab - d$$ $$d = ab$$ $$c = a + b$$ Now if I can substitute the values to...

Let $p, q, r, s \in \mathbb{N}$ such that $p \ge q \ge r \ge s$. Show that the function $f(x)=x^4-px^3-qx^2-rx-s$ has no integer root.

Hi, please could someone explain the notion that particles of 1/2 integer spin do not look the same when turned through 360 degrees. This notion seems to crop up when I read around QM but nobody seems to explain how this came about. So my question is this - what experiment shows/confirms that...

[FONT='inherit']If $3^{n} +81$ is a perfect square, find a positive integer value of $n$. My Trail:: [FONT='inherit']When $n\leq 4,$ then easy to know that $3^{n} +81$ is not a perfect square. [FONT='inherit'] Now let $\displaystyle n = k +4 (k\in \mathbb{Z^{+}}),$ then $3^{N} +81 = 81...

Hi MHB, I don't know how to solve the problem below because I found what we are asked to prove is a bit confusing to me and hence I don't know how to formulate a credible way to solve the problem correctly. Problem: Let $s\ne t$ be real numbers. The equation $(x^2+20sx+10t)(x^2+20tx+10s)=0$...

Let $k$ be the largest root of $x^4+1-2009x=0$. Find the nearest integer to $\dfrac{1}{k^3-2009}$.

I have stumbled upon an approximation to the average of integer square roots. \sum^{n}_{k=1}{\sqrt{k}/n} \approx \sqrt{median(1,2,...,n)} Sorry I am not very good at LaTeX, but I hope this comes across okay. Could anyone explain why this might be happening? In fact, I just discovered that...

Let a sequence be defined as follows: $b_1=3$, $b_2=3$, and for $n \ge 2$, $b_{n+1}b_{n-1}=b_n^2+2007$. Find the largest integer less than or equal to $\dfrac{b_{2007}^2+b_{2006}^2}{b_{2007}b_{2006}}$.

Hello, I was wondering if someone knew the equation which describe the exact or statistical relation between the length(# of digits) of a power of 2 based on it's power. I plotted 200 of the powers in mathematica and I get a fairly straightforward staircase plot. I'm just wondering what's the...

Hi MHB, This problem drives me crazy because first, I have not encountered a problem like this before (but this is only an excuse and it must be my incompetence that holds me back from cracking it successfully) and I called off the attempt because I don't think I can solve it. Problem...

Given $f(x)=a_nx^n+a_{n-1}x^{n-1}+\cdots+a_1x+a_0$, where $a_0, a_a,\cdots,a_n$ are all smaller than 4 and are integer, $a_n \in (0, 1, 2,\cdots)$. Given that $f(4)=2009$, find $f(1)$.

Determine the smallest integer that is square and starts with the first four figure 3005. Calculator may be used but solution by computers will not be accepted.(Tongueout)

I'm assuming this is a simple proof? I started thinking about it. It suffices to show that every even number can be written as positive powers of 2 (since every odd number is simply an even number plus 20). So let n = 2k for some non-negative integer k; we need to show that 2k = 2c1 + 4c2 +...

Is this line of thought correct? Please correct me where I´m wrong. Will this way of finding prime factors work when A is any integer? Is there a proof for this or a proof that is closely related? Is there a way to do it that requiers less iterations? It has to be a method that requires...

PS. I don't speak or write english very well. I´m doing my best. Is it still ok to post questions? a = any integer b = any prime number a * b = c Is there a proof that "c" isn't made up by any other prime factors than the prime factors that make up "a" (except for "b")?

I am curious, are there any calculators that calculate integer partitions with the stipulation that the calculator only calculate unique partitions. For example, if I want to calculate the number of ways to sum to 5 using 3 integers I have the following unique sums: 1 1 3 1 2 2 I would...
