Hello,

I was hoping I could get some help with some questions that I am struggling with for a test...

1. If a number is expressed in binary, which of the following is a necessary and sufficient condition to test whether it is divisible by 2?

a. If the number does not end in 0
b. If the alternating sum of the digits is 0 or divisible by 3
c. If the number includes an even number of 1's and an even number of 0's
d. If the number, when converted to decimal form, has the sum of its digits divisible by 3



2. If A=(1, 2, 3) and B=(3, 4, 5) how many elements are in the intersection of A and B?

a. 0
b. 1
c. 3
d. 5


3. What is the sum of the 10 binomial coefficients of the form C(9, k)?

a. 45
b. 362,880
c. 512
d. 1,729


4. There are 93 students in a class; 42 like Math, while 41 like English. If 30 students don't like either subject, how many students like both?

a. 10
b. 20
c. 41
d. The answer cannot be determined from the data given


Thank you very much,
Elisabeth

Insights auto threads is broken atm, so I'm manually creating these for new Insight articles. In Dirac’s Principles of Quantum Mechanics published in 1930 he introduced a “convenient notation” he referred to as a “delta function” which he treated as a continuum analog to the discrete Kronecker delta. The Kronecker delta is simply the indexed components of the identity operator in matrix algebra Source: https://www.physicsforums.com/insights/what-exactly-is-diracs-delta-function/ by...
Fermat's Last Theorem has long been one of the most famous mathematical problems, and is now one of the most famous theorems. It simply states that the equation $$ a^n+b^n=c^n $$ has no solutions with positive integers if ##n>2.## It was named after Pierre de Fermat (1607-1665). The problem itself stems from the book Arithmetica by Diophantus of Alexandria. It gained popularity because Fermat noted in his copy "Cubum autem in duos cubos, aut quadratoquadratum in duos quadratoquadratos, et...
I'm interested to know whether the equation $$1 = 2 - \frac{1}{2 - \frac{1}{2 - \cdots}}$$ is true or not. It can be shown easily that if the continued fraction converges, it cannot converge to anything else than 1. It seems that if the continued fraction converges, the convergence is very slow. The apparent slowness of the convergence makes it difficult to estimate the presence of true convergence numerically. At the moment I don't know whether this converges or not.
