❓:If the equation m x^{2}-2(m+2) x+m+5=0 has no real roots, then the number of real roots of the equation (m-5) x^{2}-2(m+2) x+m=0 is(A) 2 ;(B) 1 ;(C) 0 ;(D) Uncertain.
🧠:Okay, let me try to figure out this problem step by step. So, the question is about quadratic equations and their real roots. The first equation given is ( m x^{2} - 2(m+2)x + m + 5 = 0 ), and we're told it has no real roots. Then, we need to determine the number of real roots for the second equation ( (m - 5)x^{2} - 2(m + 2)x + m = 0 ). The options are A) 2, B) 1, C) 0, or D) Uncertain. First, let's recall that a quadratic equation ( ax^2 + bx + c = 0 ) has no real roots when its discriminant is negative. The discriminant is ( D = b^2 - 4ac ). So, for the first equation to have no real roots, its discriminant must be less than zero. Let's compute that discriminant.The first equation is ( m x^{2} - 2(m+2)x + m + 5 = 0 ). Here, ( a = m ), ( b = -2(m+2) ), and ( c = m + 5 ). The discriminant ( D_1 ) would be:[D_1 = [-2(m+2)]^2 - 4 cdot m cdot (m + 5)]Let me compute that step by step. First, square the term ( -2(m+2) ):[[-2(m+2)]^2 = 4(m+2)^2 = 4(m^2 + 4m + 4)]Then, compute the second part ( 4 cdot m cdot (m + 5) ):[4m(m + 5) = 4m^2 + 20m]So, subtracting these:[D_1 = 4(m^2 + 4m + 4) - (4m^2 + 20m) = 4m^2 + 16m + 16 - 4m^2 - 20m = (-4m + 16)]Wait, that seems off. Let me check again.Wait, expanding ( 4(m^2 + 4m + 4) ):4 * m² + 4*4m + 4*4 = 4m² + 16m + 16Then subtract 4m² +20m:4m² +16m +16 -4m² -20m = (4m² -4m²) + (16m -20m) +16 = (-4m +16). So that's correct.So, ( D_1 = -4m + 16 ). For the equation to have no real roots, discriminant must be negative:[-4m + 16 < 0 -4m < -16 Divide both sides by -4 (remembering to reverse inequality sign):m > 4]So, the first equation has no real roots when m > 4. Got that.Now, moving on to the second equation: ( (m - 5)x^{2} - 2(m + 2)x + m = 0 ). We need to find the number of real roots for this equation. Let's denote this as Equation 2.First, note that this is also a quadratic equation, but the coefficient of ( x^2 ) is ( (m - 5) ). So, if ( m - 5 neq 0 ), it's a quadratic equation. If ( m - 5 = 0 ), then the equation becomes linear. So, we need to consider two cases: when ( m neq 5 ) (quadratic) and when ( m = 5 ) (linear).But wait, from the first part, we know that m > 4. So, m can be 5, which is allowed since m >4. So, m can be 5. Let's check both possibilities.Case 1: ( m neq 5 ). Then, Equation 2 is quadratic. Let's compute its discriminant.For Equation 2, coefficients are ( a = m - 5 ), ( b = -2(m + 2) ), ( c = m ).Discriminant ( D_2 ):[D_2 = [-2(m + 2)]^2 - 4 cdot (m - 5) cdot m]Compute each part:First, square the term ( -2(m + 2) ):[[-2(m + 2)]^2 = 4(m + 2)^2 = 4(m² +4m +4)]Then, compute the second part: ( 4(m -5)m ):[4(m -5)m = 4m² -20m]Thus, discriminant:[D_2 = 4(m² +4m +4) - (4m² -20m) = 4m² +16m +16 -4m² +20m = 36m +16]So, ( D_2 = 36m +16 ). Now, since m >4 from the first condition, substituting m >4:If m >4, then ( 36m +16 ) is definitely positive because 36*4 = 144, so 36m >144, so 36m +16 >160, which is positive. Therefore, discriminant D2 is positive, so Equation 2 has two distinct real roots if it is a quadratic equation (i.e., if ( m neq 5 )).Case 2: ( m = 5 ). Then, Equation 2 becomes:( (5 -5)x² -2(5 +2)x +5 = 0 ) → ( 0x² -14x +5 =0 ) → linear equation: -14x +5 =0.Solving this: -14x = -5 → x = 5/14. So, one real root.Therefore, if m=5, Equation 2 has one real root. If m≠5 (but still m>4), Equation 2 has two real roots.But the problem states that the first equation has no real roots, so m>4. So, m can be 5 or any value greater than 4 except 5. Therefore, depending on whether m is 5 or not, the second equation can have either two real roots (if m≠5) or one real root (if m=5).But wait, the answer options are 2,1,0, or Uncertain. The answer depends on the value of m. If m is exactly 5, it has one root; otherwise, it has two. Since m>4 includes m=5 and m>5, so there are cases where it has one root and cases where it has two. Therefore, the number of real roots is uncertain, because it depends on the value of m. So, the answer is D) Uncertain.Wait, but hold on. Let me check again. Wait, the original problem says "the equation has no real roots", so m>4. So, m can be in (4,5), 5, or (5, ∞). If m is in (4,5), then in Equation 2, m -5 is negative, so the quadratic coefficient is negative, but discriminant is still positive (since 36m +16 is positive), so quadratic with two real roots. If m=5, linear equation with one real root. If m>5, then quadratic coefficient is positive, and discriminant still positive, so two real roots. Therefore, for m>4 and m≠5, two real roots; for m=5, one real root. Therefore, depending on m, it can be 1 or 2. Therefore, since we don't know the exact value of m (only that m>4), the number of real roots is either 1 or 2, so the answer is D) Uncertain.But let me check the answer options again. The options are A) 2, B)1, C)0, D)Uncertain. So, the correct answer is D, because depending on m, it could be 1 or 2. But wait, in the problem statement, are we supposed to consider that m is a specific value? Wait, the problem says "If the equation ... has no real roots, then the number of real roots of the equation ... is". So, given that the first equation has no real roots (i.e., m>4), then what is the number of real roots for the second equation. Since m>4 could include m=5 (leading to one root) or m not equal to 5 (leading to two roots), so unless there is a constraint that m cannot be 5, but the problem doesn't specify that. Therefore, since m could be 5 or could be another number greater than 4, the number of real roots is uncertain. Therefore, answer D.But let me verify once more. For m>4:If 4 < m <5: Equation 2 is quadratic with a= m-5 <0, but discriminant D2=36m +16, which is positive. So, quadratic opening downward with two real roots. So two real roots.If m=5: Equation 2 is linear, so one real root.If m>5: Equation 2 is quadratic with a= m-5 >0, discriminant still positive, so quadratic opening upward with two real roots.Therefore, depending on whether m is equal to 5 or not, the number of roots is two or one. Since the problem states that the first equation has no real roots (m>4), but doesn't specify m further, the answer can't be uniquely determined; it could be 1 or 2. Therefore, the correct answer is D) Uncertain.But wait, wait. The problem is presented as a multiple-choice question, and the options are A)2, B)1, C)0, D)Uncertain. So, since there are cases where it's 2 and a case where it's 1, the answer is D. However, sometimes in such problems, they might consider "Uncertain" as not an option, but in this case, it is. So, the answer is D.But let me check if there's any mistake in the discriminant calculation. Let's recheck D2.Equation 2: (m-5)x² -2(m+2)x +m =0.Coefficients: a = m-5, b= -2(m+2), c = m.Discriminant:D2 = b² -4ac = [ -2(m+2) ]² -4*(m-5)*m.Calculating:First term: [ -2(m+2) ]² = 4(m+2)² = 4(m² +4m +4) = 4m² +16m +16.Second term: 4*(m-5)*m =4m(m-5) =4m² -20m.Thus, D2 = 4m² +16m +16 - (4m² -20m) = 4m² +16m +16 -4m² +20m = 36m +16. Yes, correct.Since m>4, 36m +16 >36*4 +16= 144 +16=160>0. Therefore, discriminant is always positive. Therefore, if the equation is quadratic (i.e., a ≠0, which is when m≠5), then two real roots. If a=0 (m=5), then linear equation, one root. Therefore, yes, depending on m=5 or not, the number of roots is 1 or 2. Hence, since m>4 includes m=5, answer D.Therefore, the correct answer is D) Uncertain.Final Answerboxed{D}
✅:To determine the number of real roots of the equation ((m-5)x^2 - 2(m+2)x + m = 0) given that the equation (mx^2 - 2(m+2)x + m + 5 = 0) has no real roots, we follow these steps:1. Analyze the first equation: The equation (mx^2 - 2(m+2)x + m + 5 = 0) has no real roots, so its discriminant must be negative. - Coefficients: (a = m), (b = -2(m+2)), (c = m + 5) - Discriminant (D_1 = [-2(m+2)]^2 - 4 cdot m cdot (m + 5)) - Simplifying: (D_1 = 4(m^2 + 4m + 4) - 4m(m + 5) = -4m + 16) - For no real roots: (-4m + 16 < 0 implies m > 4)2. Analyze the second equation: The equation ((m-5)x^2 - 2(m+2)x + m = 0) can be quadratic or linear depending on (m). - Case 1: (m neq 5) (Quadratic equation): - Coefficients: (a = m - 5), (b = -2(m + 2)), (c = m) - Discriminant (D_2 = [-2(m+2)]^2 - 4 cdot (m - 5) cdot m) - Simplifying: (D_2 = 4(m^2 + 4m + 4) - 4m(m - 5) = 36m + 16) - Since (m > 4), (D_2 > 0), leading to two real roots. - Case 2: (m = 5) (Linear equation): - The equation becomes (-14x + 5 = 0), which has one real root.3. Conclusion: - For (4 < m < 5) or (m > 5), the second equation has two real roots. - For (m = 5), the second equation has one real root. - Since (m > 4) includes both (m = 5) and (m neq 5), the number of real roots can be either 1 or 2, making the answer uncertain.Thus, the final answer is (boxed{D}).
🔑:Given the quadratic equation in x:[m x^2 - 2(m+2)x + m + 5 = 0]it has no real roots. 1. Find the discriminant (Delta_1) of the given quadratic equation: The discriminant (Delta_1) for the equation (a x^2 + b x + c = 0) is given by: [Delta_1 = b^2 - 4ac] For our equation: [a = m, quad b = -2(m+2), quad c = m + 5] Substituting these values into the discriminant formula: [ Delta_1 = [-2(m+2)]^2 - 4(m)(m+5) ] Simplify the expression: [ Delta_1 = 4(m+2)^2 - 4m(m+5) ] [ Delta_1 = 4[(m+2)^2 - m(m+5)] ] Calculate each part in the square brackets: [ (m+2)^2 = m^2 + 4m + 4 ] [ m(m+5) = m^2 + 5m ] Subtract these two results: [ (m+2)^2 - m(m+5) = (m^2 + 4m + 4) - (m^2 + 5m) = m^2 + 4m + 4 - m^2 - 5m = -m + 4 ] Thus, [ Delta_1 = 4(-m + 4) = -4m + 16 ] Since the equation has no real roots: [ Delta_1 < 0 implies -4m + 16 < 0 implies m > 4 ]2. Consider the second quadratic equation: [(m-5) x^2 - 2(m+2)x + m = 0] We need to analyze the number of real roots of this equation. As before, calculate the discriminant (Delta_2): [ Delta_2 = b^2 - 4ac ] For our new equation: [a = m-5, quad b = -2(m+2), quad c = m] Substituting these values into the discriminant formula: [ Delta_2 = [-2(m+2)]^2 - 4(m-5)m ] Simplify the expression: [ Delta_2 = 4(m+2)^2 - 4(m-5)m ] [ Delta_2 = 4[(m+2)^2 - (m-5)m] ] Calculate each part in the square brackets: [ (m+2)^2 = m^2 + 4m + 4 ] [ (m-5)m = m^2 - 5m ] Subtract these two results: [ (m+2)^2 - (m-5)m = (m^2 + 4m + 4) - (m^2 - 5m) = m^2 + 4m + 4 - m^2 + 5m = 9m + 4 ] Thus, [ Delta_2 = 4(9m + 4) = 36m + 16 ] Since (36m + 16 > 0 ) for (m > 4), the discriminant (Delta_2) is always positive for (m > 4).3. Conclusion: - For (m = 5), the equation ((m-5) x^2 - 2(m+2)x + m = 0) becomes (-2(7)x + 5 = 0) which simplifies to (x = frac{5}{14}). There is precisely one real root. - For (m > 4) and (m neq 5), the discriminant (Delta_2 > 0), so there are two distinct real roots. Hence, the number of real roots for the equation ((m-5) x^2 - 2(m+2)x + m = 0) is not fixed and depends on the value of (m).[boxed{text{D}}]
❓:Xiaoming went to the supermarket to buy milk. If he buys fresh milk at 6 yuan per carton, he spends all his money. If he buys yogurt at 9 yuan per carton, he also spends all his money but buys 6 fewer cartons than fresh milk. How much money did Xiaoming bring?
🧠:Okay, let's try to figure out how much money Xiaoming brought to the supermarket. So, the problem says he buys either fresh milk at 6 yuan per carton or yogurt at 9 yuan per carton. When he buys yogurt, he spends all his money but ends up buying 6 fewer cartons than when he buys fresh milk. Hmm, I need to find out the total amount of money he has.First, let me think about the variables involved. Let's denote the total amount of money Xiaoming has as M. Then, the number of fresh milk cartons he can buy is M divided by 6, since each carton costs 6 yuan. Similarly, the number of yogurt cartons he can buy would be M divided by 9. According to the problem, the number of yogurt cartons is 6 less than the number of fresh milk cartons. So, I can set up an equation here.Let me write that down:Number of fresh milk cartons = M / 6Number of yogurt cartons = M / 9And the difference between these two quantities is 6. So:M/6 - M/9 = 6Okay, now I need to solve this equation for M. To do that, I should find a common denominator to combine the fractions. The denominators are 6 and 9, so the least common multiple is 18. Let me convert both fractions:(3M)/18 - (2M)/18 = 6That simplifies to:(3M - 2M)/18 = 6Which becomes:M/18 = 6Then, multiplying both sides by 18:M = 6 * 18M = 108Wait, so Xiaoming brought 108 yuan? Let me check that again to make sure.If he has 108 yuan, then the number of fresh milk cartons is 108 / 6 = 18 cartons. The number of yogurt cartons is 108 / 9 = 12 cartons. The difference is 18 - 12 = 6, which matches the problem's statement. So that seems correct.But let me verify if there's another way to approach this problem to confirm the answer. Maybe using ratios or another method.Alternatively, since the price per carton for fresh milk is 6 and for yogurt is 9, the ratio of the prices is 6:9, which simplifies to 2:3. The number of cartons he can buy would be inversely proportional to the price, so the ratio of cartons (fresh milk to yogurt) would be 3:2. The difference in the number of cartons is 6. Let's see.Let the number of fresh milk cartons be 3x and yogurt be 2x. Then, 3x - 2x = x = 6. So x = 6. Therefore, fresh milk cartons = 18, yogurt cartons = 12. Then the total money would be 18 * 6 = 108 or 12 * 9 = 108. Yep, same result. So that confirms it.Another way: Let's suppose he buys N cartons of fresh milk. Then, the total money is 6N. If he buys yogurt, he buys N - 6 cartons, so total money is 9(N - 6). Since both equal the same total money, set them equal:6N = 9(N - 6)Solve for N:6N = 9N - 54-3N = -54N = 18Then, total money is 6*18 = 108. Same answer. Okay, so all methods lead to 108. Seems solid.I think that's thorough enough. The key was setting up the equation correctly based on the difference in the number of cartons. Then solving for M, verifying through different methods to ensure the answer is correct. No contradictions in the results. So the answer should be 108 yuan.
✅:Xiaoming brought 108 yuan.Step-by-Step Explanation:1. Define Variables: - Let ( M ) be the total money Xiaoming has. - Number of fresh milk cartons: ( frac{M}{6} ) (since each costs 6 yuan). - Number of yogurt cartons: ( frac{M}{9} ) (since each costs 9 yuan).2. Set Up Equation: - The problem states yogurt cartons are 6 fewer than fresh milk cartons: [ frac{M}{6} - frac{M}{9} = 6 ]3. Solve for ( M ): - Find a common denominator (18): [ frac{3M}{18} - frac{2M}{18} = 6 quad Rightarrow quad frac{M}{18} = 6 ] - Multiply both sides by 18: [ M = 108 ]4. Verification: - Fresh milk: ( frac{108}{6} = 18 ) cartons. - Yogurt: ( frac{108}{9} = 12 ) cartons. - Difference: ( 18 - 12 = 6 ), which matches the problem's condition.Answer: Xiaoming brought 108 yuan.
🔑:To solve the problem, we'll start by defining the variables and setting up the equations based on the problem's description.1. Define Variables: Let x be the number of boxes of sour milk Xiao Ming can buy. According to the problem, Xiao Ming can buy x boxes of sour milk each costing 9 yuan or (x+6) boxes of fresh milk each costing 6 yuan.2. Set Up the Equation: The total cost for sour milk is given by: [ 9x ] The total cost for fresh milk is given by: [ 6(x + 6) ] According to the problem, both costs are equal: [ 6(x + 6) = 9x ]3. Solve the Equation: Expand and simplify the equation to solve for x: [ 6x + 36 = 9x ] Subtract 6x from both sides of the equation: [ 36 = 3x ] Divide both sides by 3: [ x = 12 ]4. Calculate Total Money: Now that we have x = 12, we calculate the total money Xiao Ming brought to the supermarket by multiplying the number of sour milk boxes by the cost per box: [ 9 times 12 = 108 ] Conclusion:[boxed{108}]
❓:Show that if one of the terms in the fraction[frac{k^{2}-5k+8}{k^{2}+6k+19}]is divisible by 11, then the fraction can be reduced by 11, given (k in mathbb{N}).
🧠:Okay, let's see. The problem is to show that if one of the terms in the fraction (k² -5k +8)/(k² +6k +19) is divisible by 11, then the entire fraction can be reduced by 11, given that k is a natural number. Hmm. So, first, I need to understand what it means for a term in the fraction to be divisible by 11. Wait, the fraction has a numerator and a denominator. The "terms" here might refer to either the numerator or the denominator. So, the statement is that if either the numerator (k² -5k +8) or the denominator (k² +6k +19) is divisible by 11, then the fraction can be simplified by 11, meaning both numerator and denominator are divisible by 11. So, the claim is that if one is divisible by 11, the other must also be divisible by 11. Therefore, the fraction can be reduced by 11. So, my goal is to show that if 11 divides the numerator, then it must divide the denominator, and vice versa. That way, the fraction can be simplified by 11. Let me start by assuming that 11 divides the numerator. Let's suppose that 11 divides k² -5k +8. Then, modulo 11, we have k² -5k +8 ≡ 0 mod 11. I need to see if under this condition, the denominator k² +6k +19 is also congruent to 0 mod 11. Similarly, if we assume the denominator is divisible by 11, then k² +6k +19 ≡ 0 mod 11, and check if the numerator is also 0 mod 11.Alternatively, maybe there's a relationship between the numerator and denominator modulo 11. Let me compute the difference between the denominator and the numerator: (k² +6k +19) - (k² -5k +8) = 11k +11. That's 11(k +1). So, the denominator is equal to the numerator plus 11(k +1). Therefore, denominator ≡ numerator mod 11, because 11(k +1) is a multiple of 11. Wait, no. If you subtract the numerator from the denominator, you get 11(k +1), which is a multiple of 11. Therefore, denominator ≡ numerator mod 11. Wait, because denominator = numerator + 11(k +1), so when you take mod 11, the 11(k +1) term disappears, so denominator ≡ numerator mod 11. Therefore, denominator ≡ numerator mod 11. Therefore, if numerator ≡ 0 mod 11, then denominator ≡ 0 mod 11, and vice versa. Therefore, if either numerator or denominator is divisible by 11, then both are divisible by 11, hence the fraction can be reduced by 11.Wait, that seems straightforward. Let me check again. Let me compute denominator - numerator: (k² +6k +19) - (k² -5k +8) = 11k +11. So denominator = numerator + 11(k +1). Therefore, denominator ≡ numerator mod 11. Therefore, if numerator ≡0 mod 11, then denominator ≡0 mod 11, and if denominator ≡0 mod 11, numerator ≡0 mod 11. Hence, 11 divides numerator if and only if 11 divides denominator. Therefore, if either term is divisible by 11, the other must be as well. Thus, the fraction can be reduced by 11.Wait, but the problem states "if one of the terms in the fraction is divisible by 11, then the fraction can be reduced by 11". So, the terms here are numerator and denominator. So, the above reasoning shows exactly that. Therefore, the conclusion is that if either numerator or denominator is divisible by 11, then both are, so the fraction can be simplified by 11.Therefore, the key idea is that the difference between denominator and numerator is a multiple of 11, hence they are congruent modulo 11. Therefore, if one is 0 modulo 11, the other is as well. Therefore, the fraction can be reduced.Let me verify with an example. Let's choose a natural number k such that numerator is divisible by 11. Let's solve k² -5k +8 ≡0 mod11. Let's try k=1: 1 -5 +8=4≡4 mod11≠0. k=2:4 -10 +8=2≡2 mod11≠0. k=3:9 -15 +8=2≡2 mod11≠0. k=4:16 -20 +8=4≡4 mod11≠0. k=5:25 -25 +8=8≡8 mod11≠0. k=6:36 -30 +8=14≡3 mod11≠0. k=7:49 -35 +8=22≡0 mod11. Ah, k=7. Then numerator is 22, which is divisible by 11. Let's check denominator: 7² +6*7 +19=49 +42 +19=110, which is 10*11, so divisible by 11. Therefore, the fraction is 22/110=2/10=1/5 after simplifying by 11 first. So, indeed, both numerator and denominator divisible by 11.Another example: suppose denominator is divisible by 11. Let's solve k² +6k +19 ≡0 mod11. Let's compute for k=0:0 +0 +19=19≡8 mod11≠0. k=1:1 +6 +19=26≡4 mod11≠0. k=2:4 +12 +19=35≡2 mod11≠0. k=3:9 +18 +19=46≡2 mod11≠0. k=4:16 +24 +19=59≡4 mod11≠0. k=5:25 +30 +19=74≡8 mod11≠0. k=6:36 +36 +19=91≡91-8*11=91-88=3≡3 mod11≠0. k=7:49 +42 +19=110≡0 mod11. So k=7 again. As above, numerator is 22, denominator 110. So both divisible by 11. Another k? Let's check k=8: denominator 64 +48 +19=131≡131-11*11=131-121=10≡10 mod11≠0. k=9:81 +54 +19=154≡154-14*11=154-154=0 mod11. So k=9: denominator 154, which is divisible by 11. Then numerator:9² -5*9 +8=81 -45 +8=44≡0 mod11. Yes, numerator 44, denominator 154. 44/154=4/14=2/7 after simplifying by 11. So, again, both divisible by 11.So, the conclusion holds. Therefore, since denominator and numerator differ by a multiple of 11, their divisibility by 11 is equivalent. Thus, if one is divisible by 11, the other is as well, so the fraction can be reduced by 11.Final Answerboxed{text{If either the numerator or denominator is divisible by }11, text{ then both are, hence the fraction can be reduced by }11.}
✅:To show that if one of the terms in the fraction [frac{k^{2} - 5k + 8}{k^{2} + 6k + 19}]is divisible by 11, then the fraction can be reduced by 11, given (k in mathbb{N}), we start by examining the relationship between the numerator and the denominator modulo 11.First, we compute the difference between the denominator and the numerator:[(k^{2} + 6k + 19) - (k^{2} - 5k + 8) = 11k + 11]This simplifies to:[11(k + 1)]Since (11(k + 1)) is a multiple of 11, it follows that:[k^{2} + 6k + 19 equiv k^{2} - 5k + 8 pmod{11}]This congruence implies that the numerator and the denominator are congruent modulo 11. Therefore, if either the numerator or the denominator is divisible by 11, the other must also be divisible by 11. To verify this, consider if the numerator (k^{2} - 5k + 8 equiv 0 pmod{11}), then the denominator (k^{2} + 6k + 19 equiv 0 pmod{11}) as well, and vice versa. This equivalence ensures that if one term is divisible by 11, both terms are divisible by 11, allowing the fraction to be reduced by 11.Examples with specific values of (k) (such as (k = 7) and (k = 9)) confirm that both the numerator and denominator are divisible by 11 when either one is divisible by 11.Thus, we conclude that if either the numerator or the denominator is divisible by 11, both are divisible by 11, and the fraction can be reduced by 11.[boxed{text{If either the numerator or denominator is divisible by }11, text{ then both are, hence the fraction can be reduced by }11.}]
🔑:1. Let ( k ) be a natural number such that one of the terms of the fraction [frac{k^2 - 5k + 8}{k^2 + 6k + 19}]is divisible by 11.2. Assume that the numerator, ( k^2 - 5k + 8 ), is divisible by 11. This means [k^2 - 5k + 8 equiv 0 pmod{11}]3. Next, we will explore the difference between the denominator and the numerator:[(k^2 + 6k + 19) - (k^2 - 5k + 8) = k^2 + 6k + 19 - k^2 + 5k - 8 = 11k + 11]4. Observe that the difference ( 11k + 11 ) is divisible by 11, as [11k + 11 = 11(k + 1)]5. Since ( 11(k + 1) ) is divisible by 11, if ( k^2 - 5k + 8 ) is divisible by 11, then ( k^2 + 6k + 19 ) is also divisible by 11 because their difference is an integer multiple of 11.6. Therefore, both terms in the fraction ( frac{k^2 - 5k + 8}{k^2 + 6k + 19} ) are divisible by 11.7. Since each term in the fraction is divisible by 11, the entire fraction can be simplified by dividing both the numerator and the denominator by 11.Conclusion:[boxed{text{The fraction can be reduced by 11.}}]
❓:A rectangle has a square cut from it, resulting in a remaining rectangle that is similar to the original rectangle. What is the ratio of the length to the breadth of the original rectangle?(A) ((1+sqrt{5}): 2).(B) (3: 2).(C) ((1+sqrt{3}): 2).(D) ((1+sqrt{6}): 2).
🧠:Okay, let's see. So the problem is about a rectangle that has a square cut out from it, and the remaining rectangle is similar to the original one. We need to find the ratio of the length to the breadth of the original rectangle. The answer choices are all different ratios involving square roots, so I think this might be related to the golden ratio or something similar. Let me try to work through it step by step.First, let me visualize the problem. Imagine we have a rectangle with length L and width W. Then, we cut out a square from it. The square must have sides equal to the width of the original rectangle, right? Because if you cut a square out of a rectangle, the maximum size square you can cut out would have sides equal to the shorter side of the rectangle. So assuming that the original rectangle has length L and width W, with L > W (since it's a rectangle, not a square). Then cutting out a square of size W x W would leave a remaining rectangle. The remaining rectangle's dimensions would be... hmm, let's see. If you cut a square of width W from the original rectangle, the remaining length would be L - W, and the width would still be W. Wait, no, that's not right. Wait, maybe I'm getting confused here.Wait, if you have a rectangle of length L and width W, and you cut out a square of side W from one end, then the remaining rectangle would have dimensions (L - W) and W. But the problem says that the remaining rectangle is similar to the original one. Similarity in rectangles means that the ratio of length to width is the same for both the original and the remaining rectangle. So the original ratio is L/W, and the remaining rectangle's ratio is (L - W)/W. Since they are similar, these ratios must be equal.So, setting up the equation: L / W = (L - W) / W. Wait, but if we set L/W = (L - W)/W, we can multiply both sides by W to get L = L - W. Then subtract L from both sides: 0 = -W, which implies W = 0. That can't be right. So I must have messed up the dimensions of the remaining rectangle.Wait, maybe I need to think again. If the original rectangle is length L and width W, and we cut out a square of side W, then the remaining rectangle would have one side as W (since the square is removed from the length), and the other side would be L - W. But the orientation might change. Wait, if the original rectangle is longer in the L direction, and we cut out a square of W x W from it, the remaining piece would have length W and width L - W. Wait, but depending on how you cut it, maybe the remaining rectangle's dimensions are W and (L - W). So if the original rectangle is L by W, after cutting out a square of W x W, the remaining rectangle would be (L - W) by W. But to have similarity, the ratio of length to width must be the same. So original ratio is L/W, remaining ratio is (L - W)/W. So equate them:L / W = (L - W) / WBut this leads to L = L - W, which again is 0 = -W. Contradiction. That's impossible. So maybe my assumption about the dimensions of the remaining rectangle is wrong.Alternatively, perhaps when we cut out the square, the remaining rectangle's dimensions are different. Let's think again. If the original rectangle has length L and width W. Suppose we cut a square of side length x from it. Then, depending on where we cut the square, the remaining rectangle's dimensions would be either (L - x) by W if we cut along the length, or L by (W - x) if we cut along the width. But since the problem states that after cutting the square, the remaining rectangle is similar to the original, we need to figure out the correct orientation.Wait, if we cut a square from the original rectangle, the side of the square must be equal to one of the sides of the rectangle. If the original rectangle is longer in the L direction, then cutting a square with side W (the shorter side) would leave a rectangle of dimensions (L - W) by W. But if we want this remaining rectangle to be similar to the original, which was L by W, then the ratio of sides must be the same. So (L - W)/W = L/W. But as before, that leads to (L - W)/W = L/W => L - W = L => -W = 0, which is impossible. So that can't be.Alternatively, maybe cutting the square in such a way that the remaining rectangle has sides L and (W - x), where x is the side of the square. But in that case, if we cut a square of side L from the width, but L is longer than W, which is impossible. So the square can't have a side longer than the width.Therefore, the square must have a side equal to the width W, so cutting a W x W square from the original rectangle, leaving a (L - W) x W rectangle. But as before, that gives us an impossible ratio. So maybe my initial assumption is wrong. Perhaps the remaining rectangle is rotated? Because similarity doesn't depend on orientation. So if the original rectangle is L by W, the remaining rectangle could be W by (L - W). So the ratio would then be W / (L - W). And since similarity requires that this ratio is equal to L / W.Therefore, setting up the equation:L / W = W / (L - W)Ah, this makes sense. Because if the remaining rectangle is rotated, then its length is W and its width is (L - W), so the ratio of length to width is W / (L - W), and this must be equal to the original ratio L / W. Therefore:L / W = W / (L - W)Cross-multiplying gives:L*(L - W) = W^2Expanding the left side:L^2 - L*W = W^2Bring all terms to one side:L^2 - L*W - W^2 = 0Now, this is a quadratic equation in terms of L. Let's divide both sides by W^2 to make it a dimensionless equation:(L / W)^2 - (L / W) - 1 = 0Let’s let r = L / W (the ratio we want to find). Then the equation becomes:r^2 - r - 1 = 0Solving this quadratic equation:r = [1 ± sqrt(1 + 4)] / 2 = [1 ± sqrt(5)] / 2Since the ratio L/W must be positive, we discard the negative root:r = [1 + sqrt(5)] / 2Which is the golden ratio, approximately 1.618. So the ratio of length to breadth is (1 + sqrt(5)) : 2, which corresponds to option A.Wait, but let me check again. Maybe I made a mistake in setting up the equation. Let's go through it step by step again.Original rectangle: Length L, Width W (L > W). Cut a square of side W, so remaining rectangle has dimensions (L - W) and W. But for similarity, the remaining rectangle must have the same ratio as the original. However, depending on how you orient the remaining rectangle, the length and width could be swapped. If the original ratio is L/W, then the remaining rectangle, if rotated, would have ratio W/(L - W). Therefore, setting L/W = W/(L - W).Yes, that's the key. Because similarity allows for rotation, so the remaining rectangle could be considered as having sides W and (L - W), with the ratio W/(L - W) which must equal the original ratio L/W. So solving L/W = W/(L - W) gives us the quadratic as before.Therefore, the solution is indeed (1 + sqrt(5))/2, which is the golden ratio, so the answer should be option A.But let me just confirm with another approach. Suppose the original rectangle has sides in the ratio r = L/W. After cutting a square of side W, the remaining rectangle has sides (L - W) and W. For similarity, the ratio of the remaining rectangle must be the same as the original. So if the original ratio is r, then the remaining ratio is either (L - W)/W or W/(L - W), depending on orientation.If we assume that the remaining rectangle is placed such that the longer side is (L - W), then (L - W)/W = L/W => (L - W)/W = r => (r*W - W)/W = r => (r -1)/1 = r => r -1 = r => -1=0, which is impossible. Therefore, the remaining rectangle must have the ratio W/(L - W) = r. Hence, W/(L - W) = L/W => cross multiplying gives L*(L - W) = W^2, which again leads to the quadratic equation and the golden ratio.Therefore, the correct answer is A.
✅:To solve the problem, let's denote the original rectangle's length as ( L ) and width as ( W ) (( L > W )). After cutting out a square of side ( W ), the remaining rectangle has dimensions ( (L - W) ) and ( W ). For similarity, the ratio of length to width must be preserved. Since similarity allows for rotation, the remaining rectangle's ratio can be expressed as ( frac{W}{L - W} ). Equating this to the original ratio ( frac{L}{W} ):[frac{L}{W} = frac{W}{L - W}]Cross-multiplying gives:[L(L - W) = W^2 implies L^2 - LW - W^2 = 0]Let ( r = frac{L}{W} ). Substituting ( L = rW ) into the equation:[(rW)^2 - (rW)W - W^2 = 0 implies r^2 - r - 1 = 0]Solving this quadratic equation:[r = frac{1 pm sqrt{5}}{2}]Since ( r > 0 ), we take the positive root:[r = frac{1 + sqrt{5}}{2}]Thus, the ratio of length to breadth is ( boxed{(1+sqrt{5}): 2} ), corresponding to option A.
🔑:1. Let the dimensions of the original rectangle be ( x ) (length) and ( y ) (width) with ( x > y ).2. When a square of side ( y ) is removed from the rectangle, the remaining rectangle has dimensions ( y ) and ( x - y ). According to the problem, the remaining rectangle is similar to the original rectangle. Thus, the ratios of corresponding sides are equal: [ frac{y}{x} = frac{x-y}{y} ]3. Cross multiply to get: [ y^2 = x(x - y) ]4. Expand and rearrange to form a quadratic equation: [ y^2 = x^2 - xy x^2 - xy - y^2 = 0 ]5. To solve this quadratic equation, use the quadratic formula ( x = frac{-b pm sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a} ), where ( a = 1 ), ( b = -1 ), and ( c = -1 ): [ x = frac{1 pm sqrt{1^2 - 4 cdot 1 cdot (-1)}}{2 cdot 1} ]6. Simplify the equation under the square root: [ x = frac{1 pm sqrt{1 + 4}}{2} = frac{1 pm sqrt{5}}{2} ]7. Since ( x ) represents the length and must be positive, we discard the negative solution: [ x = frac{1 + sqrt{5}}{2} ]8. Thus, the ratio of the length to the width of the original rectangle is: [ frac{x}{y} = frac{frac{1 + sqrt{5}}{2}}{1} = frac{1 + sqrt{5}}{2} ]9. Therefore, the ratio of the length to the width of the original rectangle is ( (1 + sqrt{5}) : 2 ). Conclusion:[boxed{(A)}]
❓:If 7 is subtracted from a certain three-digit number, the resulting difference is divisible by 7. If 8 is subtracted, the resulting difference is divisible by 8. If 9 is subtracted, the resulting difference is divisible by 9. What is the smallest possible number?
🧠:Okay, so I need to find the smallest three-digit number that meets these conditions: when you subtract 7, it's divisible by 7; subtract 8, divisible by 8; subtract 9, divisible by 9. Hmm, let me break this down step by step.First, let's parse the problem again. The number is three-digit. Let's call it N. Then:1. N - 7 is divisible by 7. That means N ≡ 7 mod 7. Wait, but 7 mod 7 is 0. Wait, no. If N - 7 is divisible by 7, then N - 7 ≡ 0 mod 7, so N ≡ 7 mod 7. But 7 mod 7 is 0. So actually, N ≡ 0 mod 7. Wait, hold on, maybe I made a mistake here.Let me think again. If N - 7 is divisible by 7, then N - 7 = 7k for some integer k. That implies N = 7k + 7 = 7(k + 1). Therefore, N is a multiple of 7. So yes, N ≡ 0 mod 7.Similarly, if N - 8 is divisible by 8, then N - 8 = 8m, so N = 8m + 8 = 8(m + 1). So N must be a multiple of 8. Therefore, N ≡ 0 mod 8.Same with N - 9 divisible by 9: N - 9 = 9n, so N = 9n + 9 = 9(n + 1). Therefore, N is a multiple of 9. So N ≡ 0 mod 9.Wait a minute, so N must be a multiple of 7, 8, and 9. That means N is a common multiple of 7, 8, and 9. The least common multiple (LCM) of these numbers would give the smallest such number. Then the problem is asking for the smallest three-digit number that is a multiple of LCM(7,8,9). Let me compute that.First, factor each number:7 is prime: 78 is 2^39 is 3^2So LCM is the product of the highest powers of all primes present: 2^3 * 3^2 * 7^1 = 8 * 9 * 7 = 504. So LCM(7,8,9) is 504. Therefore, the smallest number that is a multiple of all three is 504. But 504 is a three-digit number. Wait, is 504 the answer? Let me check.If N is 504:504 - 7 = 497. Is 497 divisible by 7? Let's divide 497 by 7. 7*70 = 490, 497 - 490 = 7. So 497 = 7*71. Yes, divisible by 7.504 - 8 = 496. Is 496 divisible by 8? 8*62 = 496. Yes, that's correct.504 - 9 = 495. 495 divided by 9 is 55. So 495 = 9*55. Correct.So 504 satisfies all conditions. But the problem says "the smallest possible number". Since 504 is a three-digit number, and the LCM is 504, which is three-digit, that must be the answer. But wait, let me make sure there isn't a smaller three-digit number that also satisfies the conditions.Wait, if the LCM is 504, then all multiples of 504 would satisfy the conditions, but since we're looking for the smallest three-digit number, 504 is the first one. However, 504 is three-digit, so that's the answer.But let me think again. Wait, maybe there's a number smaller than 504 that still meets all three conditions. Because just because N is a multiple of 7, 8, 9, that's necessary, but is it sufficient?Wait, let's double-check. If N is a multiple of 7, then N - 7 would be 7k - 7 = 7(k -1), which is divisible by 7. Similarly, if N is a multiple of 8, then N - 8 is divisible by 8. Same for 9. So yes, being a multiple of LCM(7,8,9) is both necessary and sufficient. Therefore, the smallest such number is indeed 504.But wait, the problem is in Chinese, maybe I need to check if the translation is correct. The original problem says: If 7 is subtracted from a certain three-digit number, the resulting difference is divisible by 7. If 8 is subtracted, the difference is divisible by 8. If 9 is subtracted, the difference is divisible by 9. What is the smallest possible number?Yes, that's exactly the same as N ≡ 0 mod 7, 8, 9. So the number must be a multiple of each of these, hence LCM. So LCM(7,8,9)=504. So 504 is the answer. Therefore, the smallest three-digit number is 504.Wait, but 504 is three-digit. What's the next one? 504*2=1008, which is four-digit, so 504 is indeed the only three-digit number that is LCM. Therefore, the answer is 504. Hmm. That seems straightforward. But let me check again with a different approach.Alternatively, perhaps there's a different way to interpret the problem. Let's suppose that N - 7 is divisible by 7, which means N ≡7 mod7, but 7 mod7=0, so N≡0 mod7. Similarly, N≡8 mod8⇒N≡0 mod8, and N≡9 mod9⇒N≡0 mod9. Therefore, N is divisible by 7,8,9. So again, LCM. Therefore, 504.Alternatively, maybe the problem is written as N -7 divisible by 7 implies N ≡7 mod7, which is 0. So same as before.Therefore, conclusion is 504. But let me check with an example. Take 504.Subtract 7: 504-7=497. 497 divided by 7 is 71, which is integer. Good.Subtract 8: 504-8=496. 496 divided by 8 is 62. Good.Subtract 9: 504-9=495. 495 divided by 9 is 55. Good.Yes, all are divisible. So that works.Is there a smaller three-digit number? Let's check 168. Wait, LCM of 7,8,9 is 504. 168 is LCM of 7,8, but not 9. Let's check. 168: subtract 7 is 161. 161 divided by 7 is 23, which is okay. Subtract 8: 160, divided by 8 is 20, okay. Subtract 9: 159. 159 divided by 9 is 17.666..., not integer. So 168 doesn't work.Another multiple: 252. LCM of 7,8,9 is 504. 252 is LCM of 7 and 9, but 252 divided by 8 is 31.5. Not integer. So subtract 8: 252-8=244. 244/8=30.5, not integer. So not good.Similarly, 336: subtract 7: 329. 329/7=47, okay. Subtract 8: 328. 328/8=41, okay. Subtract 9: 327. 327/9=36.333..., not integer. So 336 doesn't work.Next multiple of LCM(7,8)=56: 56*4=224. 224-7=217. 217/7=31, okay. 224-8=216, 216/8=27, okay. 224-9=215, 215/9≈23.888, nope.So 224 doesn't work.Another one: 392. 392-7=385, 385/7=55, okay. 392-8=384, 384/8=48, okay. 392-9=383, 383/9≈42.555, not integer. So no.Then 504 is next. So yes, 504 is the first one that works for all three.Therefore, the answer is 504. So I think that's correct.Wait, but maybe there's a number that's not a multiple of LCM(7,8,9) but still satisfies the three conditions. Let's see.Suppose that N ≡0 mod7, N≡0 mod8, N≡0 mod9. So N must be divisible by 7,8,9. So LCM is required. Therefore, no smaller number can satisfy all three conditions unless it's a common multiple. Hence, 504 is indeed the smallest.Therefore, the answer is 504. So I think that's the correct solution.
✅:The smallest three-digit number satisfying the given conditions is determined by recognizing that the number must be divisible by 7, 8, and 9. This requires finding the least common multiple (LCM) of these three numbers.1. Prime Factorization: - (7) is prime. - (8 = 2^3) - (9 = 3^2)2. Compute LCM: - LCM is the product of the highest powers of all primes: (2^3 times 3^2 times 7 = 8 times 9 times 7 = 504).3. Verification: - (504 - 7 = 497), which is divisible by (7) ((497 ÷ 7 = 71)). - (504 - 8 = 496), which is divisible by (8) ((496 ÷ 8 = 62)). - (504 - 9 = 495), which is divisible by (9) ((495 ÷ 9 = 55)).Since 504 is the smallest three-digit number that is a multiple of 7, 8, and 9, it satisfies all conditions.Answer: (boxed{504})
🔑:1. Let ( x ) be the three-digit number we are trying to find.2. Analyze the conditions given in the problem: - If ( 7 ) is subtracted from this number, the result is divisible by ( 7 ). - If ( 8 ) is subtracted from this number, the result is divisible by ( 8 ). - If ( 9 ) is subtracted from this number, the result is divisible by ( 9 ).3. Let's convert these conditions into mathematical terms: - ( x - 7 ) is divisible by ( 7 ), which can be written as ( x equiv 7 pmod{7} ). - ( x - 8 ) is divisible by ( 8 ), which can be written as ( x equiv 8 pmod{8} ). - ( x - 9 ) is divisible by ( 9 ), which can be written as ( x equiv 9 pmod{9} ).4. Notice that the conditions imply ( x equiv 7 pmod{7} ), ( x equiv 8 pmod{8} ), and ( x equiv 9 pmod{9} ). These can be simplified to: - ( x equiv 0 pmod{7} ) - ( x equiv 0 pmod{8} ) - ( x equiv 0 pmod{9} )5. To find the smallest number ( x ) that satisfies all three conditions, we should look for the least common multiple (LCM) of the numbers ( 7 ), ( 8 ), and ( 9 ).6. We calculate the LCM of ( 7 ), ( 8 ), and ( 9 ): - The prime factorization of ( 7 ) is ( 7 ). - The prime factorization of ( 8 ) is ( 2^3 ). - The prime factorization of ( 9 ) is ( 3^2 ).7. The LCM is found by taking the highest powers of all prime factors that appear in the factorizations: - LCM = ( 7 times 2^3 times 3^2 ).8. Calculate: [ 7 times 8 = 56 ] [ 56 times 9 = 504 ]9. Therefore, the least common multiple of ( 7 ), ( 8 ), and ( 9 ) is ( 504 ).10. Conclusion: The smallest three-digit number that satisfies all the conditions provided in the problem is: [ boxed{504} ]
❓:Find all prime numbers ( p ) such that in the base ( b ) representation of ( p ), each digit ( 0, 1, cdots, b-1 ) appears exactly once (0 can be the leading digit).
🧠:Okay, so I need to find all prime numbers p such that in some base b, each digit from 0 to b-1 appears exactly once in the base b representation of p. Hmm, let me try to break this down step by step.First, let's make sure I understand the problem correctly. The prime number p, when written in base b, must have all digits from 0 up to b-1, each appearing exactly once. That means if the base is, say, 3, then the number in base 3 should have the digits 0, 1, and 2 each exactly once. But wait, in base 3, numbers can't have a digit higher than 2, right? So if the number uses all digits 0, 1, 2 exactly once, how long would that number be? Since there are three digits, the number would have three digits in base 3. But the leading digit can't be zero, right? Wait, but the problem says "0 can be the leading digit." Wait, the original problem says "0 can be the leading digit." Wait, the original statement says: "each digit 0, 1, ⋯, b−1 appears exactly once (0 can be the leading digit)." So, does that mean that even if the number has leading zeros, they are considered as digits? But in standard number representations, leading zeros are not considered part of the number. For example, the number 5 in base 10 is just '5', not '0005'. So, if the problem allows leading zeros, then perhaps the number p, when written with leading zeros to make its digits include all digits from 0 to b−1, each exactly once. But that seems a bit unclear. Wait, maybe the problem is that the number p, in base b, when written with exactly b digits (including leading zeros), contains each digit from 0 to b−1 exactly once. So, for example, in base 10, a 10-digit number with digits 0 through 9 each exactly once, but leading zeros allowed. However, primes can't have leading zeros in their standard representation. So maybe the problem is that the number p in base b has exactly b digits, each digit from 0 to b−1 exactly once, with leading zeros allowed. But primes can't be written with leading zeros, but if we allow leading zeros in the digit check, then maybe. Wait, but primes are numbers greater than 1, so in any base, the standard representation would not have leading zeros. So maybe the problem is requiring that when the prime is written in base b, its digits (without leading zeros) include all digits from 0 to b−1 exactly once. But that seems impossible for primes greater than b−1 because primes are numbers like 2,3,5,7, etc., which in base b would have single digits. Wait, maybe I need to clarify.Wait, let's take an example. Suppose base b=2. Then digits are 0 and 1. The prime number p must have each digit 0 and 1 exactly once. But in base 2, the numbers that use digits 0 and 1 exactly once would be '10' (which is 2 in decimal) and '01' (which is 1, not prime). So '10' in base 2 is 2, which is prime. So 2 is a prime that in base 2 uses both digits 0 and 1 exactly once. So that's a valid example.Similarly, in base 3, the digits are 0, 1, 2. The number in base 3 would need to have each digit exactly once. Since leading zeros are allowed, maybe a 3-digit number in base 3 where each digit 0,1,2 appears once. For example, '102' base 3 is 1*9 + 0*3 + 2 = 11 in decimal, which is prime. Similarly, '201' base 3 is 2*9 + 0*3 +1 = 19, which is also prime. '012' base 3 is 0*9 +1*3 +2 = 5, prime. '021' is 0*9 +2*3 +1 = 7, prime. Wait, but hold on, if leading zeros are allowed, then numbers like '012' base 3 would be considered as 3-digit numbers, but normally, leading zeros are not part of the number's representation. So in standard form, '012' base 3 is just '12' base 3, which is 5 in decimal. But then '12' base 3 has digits 1 and 2, not 0,1,2. Therefore, there's a conflict here. The problem states that each digit from 0 to b-1 appears exactly once, with 0 allowed as a leading digit. So perhaps the number p in base b must have exactly b digits, including leading zeros, such that each digit from 0 to b-1 is present exactly once, and the number itself (when converted to decimal) is prime.But if that's the case, then for base b, the number would have b digits, which in decimal would be a number of magnitude at least b^(b-1) (if the leading digit is 1) and up to (b-1)*b^(b-1) + ... + 0. But primes that large are going to be rare, especially as b increases. Let's verify with base 2.Base 2: must have digits 0 and 1. The number must be 2 digits, with each digit appearing once. So possible numbers are '10' (which is 2 in decimal, prime) and '01' (1, not prime). So p=2 is valid.Base 3: 3 digits, 0,1,2 each once. Possible permutations are 3! = 6 numbers. Let's list them:012_3 = 0*9 +1*3 +2 = 5 (prime)021_3 = 0*9 +2*3 +1 = 7 (prime)102_3 = 1*9 +0*3 +2 = 11 (prime)120_3 = 1*9 +2*3 +0 = 15 (not prime)201_3 = 2*9 +0*3 +1 = 19 (prime)210_3 = 2*9 +1*3 +0 = 21 (not prime)So primes here are 5,7,11,19. Wait, but 5 in base 3 is '12', which is two digits. But according to the problem statement, if we allow leading zeros, then '012' is considered a 3-digit number. However, 5 in base 3 is actually '12', so does that count? Because the problem says "each digit 0,1,...,b-1 appears exactly once", so in the case of base 3, the number must have digits 0,1,2 each exactly once, which would require the number to have three digits. But if the number is actually a three-digit number in base 3 with leading zero, then when converted to decimal, it's a smaller number. For example, '012'_3 is 5, which is prime. So according to the problem's allowance of leading zeros, even though the standard representation is two digits, the three-digit representation with leading zero is allowed for the purpose of digit checking. Therefore, 5,7,11,19 would be primes that satisfy the condition in base 3.But wait, the problem says "in the base b representation of p", each digit 0,...,b-1 appears exactly once. So if the standard base b representation of p (without leading zeros) has all digits, including 0, then that's impossible because leading zeros aren't part of the standard representation. Therefore, maybe the problem is considering the minimal length representation (without leading zeros) and requiring that all digits from 0 to b-1 are present. But that would require that the number has at least b digits, but primes can't have 0 in their digits except possibly the last digit (but 0 would make the number non-prime unless the number itself is 0, which isn't prime). So this seems conflicting.Alternatively, the problem might be considering numbers written with exactly b digits (including leading zeros), which would mean that the number has b digits, each from 0 to b-1 exactly once, and the number itself is prime. In this case, the number would be a permutation of the digits 0 to b-1 in base b, forming a pandigital number in base b, and being prime.If that's the case, then for base b, the number would be a b-digit pandigital number (including leading zero) which is prime. For example, in base 2, it's the two-digit number 10_2=2, which is prime. In base 3, the three-digit numbers like 012_3=5, 021_3=7, 102_3=11, 201_3=19, which are primes. However, in base 4, this would require a four-digit number using digits 0,1,2,3 each once. Let's check if such a number exists and is prime.First, in base 4, the four-digit number would be a permutation of 0,1,2,3. But since leading zeros are allowed, the first digit could be 0, but the number itself would then be a 4-digit number. However, when converted to decimal, it's a number between 0*4^3 +1*4^2 +2*4 +3 = 27 and 3*4^3 +2*4^2 +1*4 +0 = 228. But we need to check if any of these permutations, when converted to decimal, are prime.But first, note that numbers with leading zeros in base 4 would effectively be 3-digit numbers or less, but according to the problem's stipulation, we are considering them as 4-digit numbers. Wait, but if we allow leading zeros, then the number is considered to have four digits, even if the leading digit is zero. However, when converted to decimal, leading zeros don't affect the value. For example, 0123_4 is the same as 123_4, which is 1*16 + 2*4 +3 = 27. But 27 is not prime. Similarly, let's check some permutations:1023_4: 1*64 + 0*16 + 2*4 +3 = 64 +0 +8 +3=75, not prime.1032_4: 1*64 +0*16 +3*4 +2=64+0+12+2=78, not prime.1203_4: 1*64 +2*16 +0*4 +3=64+32+0+3=99, not prime.1230_4: 1*64 +2*16 +3*4 +0=64+32+12+0=108, not prime.1302_4: 1*64 +3*16 +0*4 +2=64+48+0+2=114, not prime.1320_4: 1*64 +3*16 +2*4 +0=64+48+8+0=120, not prime.2013_4: 2*64 +0*16 +1*4 +3=128+0+4+3=135, not prime.2031_4: 2*64 +0*16 +3*4 +1=128+0+12+1=141, not prime.2103_4: 2*64 +1*16 +0*4 +3=128+16+0+3=147, not prime.2130_4: 2*64 +1*16 +3*4 +0=128+16+12+0=156, not prime.2301_4: 2*64 +3*16 +0*4 +1=128+48+0+1=177, which is divisible by 3 (1+7+7=15), so 177=3*59, not prime.2310_4: 2*64 +3*16 +1*4 +0=128+48+4+0=180, not prime.3012_4: 3*64 +0*16 +1*4 +2=192+0+4+2=198, not prime.3021_4: 3*64 +0*16 +2*4 +1=192+0+8+1=201, not prime.3102_4: 3*64 +1*16 +0*4 +2=192+16+0+2=210, not prime.3120_4: 3*64 +1*16 +2*4 +0=192+16+8+0=216, not prime.3201_4: 3*64 +2*16 +0*4 +1=192+32+0+1=225, which is 15^2, not prime.3210_4: 3*64 +2*16 +1*4 +0=192+32+4+0=228, not prime.So none of the base 4 pandigital numbers (with 4 digits, including leading zeros) are prime. Therefore, in base 4, there are no such primes.Moving on to base 5. The number would have 5 digits (0,1,2,3,4 each once). The minimal value would be 01234_5 = 0*625 +1*125 +2*25 +3*5 +4 = 125 +50 +15 +4 = 194. The maximum would be 43210_5 =4*625 +3*125 +2*25 +1*5 +0=2500 +375 +50 +5=2930. So we need to check if any permutation of 0,1,2,3,4 in base 5 (as a 5-digit number) results in a prime number.But considering the number of permutations is 5! = 120, this would take a while. However, we can note some properties. For example, if the last digit is 0, 2, or 4 in base 5, then the number is divisible by 5, 2, or 2 respectively in decimal. Wait, but in base 5, the last digit represents the units place. So if the last digit is 0 in base 5, the number is divisible by 5, hence not prime unless the number is 5 itself. But 5 in base 5 is '10', which is two digits, not 5 digits. Similarly, if the last digit is 1, 3 in base 5, the number in decimal would be congruent to 1 or 3 mod 5, which might be prime. However, considering the size of these numbers (up to 2930), primes might exist, but it's time-consuming to check manually.Alternatively, we can use some divisibility rules. For example, the sum of the digits in base 5 would be 0+1+2+3+4=10. Since 10 in decimal is the digit sum, but in any base, the digit sum relates to divisibility by base-1. In base 5, numbers are congruent to their digit sum mod 4. So 10 mod 4 is 2. Therefore, all these numbers are congruent to 2 mod 4, meaning they are even numbers if 2 mod 4 is 2. Wait, 2 mod 4 is 2, so numbers congruent to 2 mod 4 are even only if they end with an even digit. Wait, no: in decimal, numbers congruent to 2 mod 4 are even but not divisible by 4. So these numbers are even but not divisible by 4, meaning they are divisible by 2 but not 4. Therefore, except for the prime number 2, all such numbers would be even and greater than 2, hence composite. But wait, the numbers we are considering in base 5, when converted to decimal, are between 194 and 2930. All of them would be even numbers (since 10 mod 4=2, so the numbers are 2 mod 4), except if there's a mistake in the logic.Wait, the digit sum is 10, so the number in base 5 has digit sum 10. In base 5, the divisibility rule for 4 is that the number is congruent to its digit sum mod 4. Since 10 mod 4 is 2, the number is congruent to 2 mod 4. Therefore, the decimal equivalent is 2 mod 4, meaning it's even but not divisible by 4. Therefore, all these numbers are even and greater than 2, hence composite. Therefore, there are no primes in base 5 pandigital numbers. Therefore, base 5 has no solutions.Similarly, for base 6, the digit sum would be 0+1+2+3+4+5=15. In base 6, divisibility by 5 is determined by digit sum mod 5. 15 mod 5=0, so all these numbers are divisible by 5. Since they are greater than 5 (as the minimal number in base 6 is 012345_6=0*7776 +1*1296 +2*216 +3*36 +4*6 +5=1296+432+108+24+5= 1296+432=1728, 1728+108=1836, 1836+24=1860, 1860+5=1865). So 1865 is divisible by 5, hence not prime. Similarly, all numbers in this category would be divisible by 5, hence no primes.For base 7, digit sum is 0+1+2+3+4+5+6=21. In base 7, the divisibility rule for 6 is digit sum mod 6. 21 mod 6=3. So numbers are congruent to 3 mod 6, meaning they are divisible by 3 if the sum of digits is divisible by 3. Wait, the digit sum in decimal is 21, which is divisible by 3, so the number itself is divisible by 3. Therefore, all such numbers would be divisible by 3, hence composite unless the number is 3 itself. But the minimal number in base 7 is 0123456_7 which is a large number, definitely greater than 3, so all are composite.Continuing this pattern, for base b, the digit sum is (b-1)*b/2. The divisibility rules would imply that:- For even bases b, the digit sum is (b-1)*b/2. For example, base 2: sum=1, which is 1 mod 1 (but base 2-1=1, so divisibility by 1 is trivial). Base 4: sum=6, which is 6 mod 3=0, so numbers are divisible by 3. Wait, base 4's digit sum is 0+1+2+3=6, which is divisible by 3, hence numbers are divisible by 3. But in base 4, we saw earlier that the numbers converted to decimal were not divisible by 3, but that might be because the digit sum in base 4 is different from the digit sum in decimal. Wait, no: the digit sum in base b affects the divisibility in base b. Wait, but we're converting the number to decimal, so the divisibility rules for decimal apply. Wait, I think there's confusion here. The digit sum in base b is a different concept from the digit sum in decimal. For example, take the base 3 number '012'_3=5 in decimal. The digit sum in base 3 is 0+1+2=3, which in base 3 terms would relate to divisibility by 2 (base-1), but in decimal, 5 is not divisible by 2. So the earlier reasoning was flawed because I was applying base b's divisibility rules to the decimal number, which isn't correct.Therefore, I need to correct that approach. Instead, when considering whether the decimal number is prime, we need to use decimal divisibility rules.So let's reconsider base 5. The digit sum in base 5 is 0+1+2+3+4=10. The decimal number's digit sum (if we convert the number to decimal) is different. For example, '1023'_4=75 in decimal, whose digit sum is 7+5=12, which relates to decimal divisibility by 3. But in base 4, the digit sum is 1+0+2+3=6, which relates to base 4 divisibility by 3. But when converted to decimal, it's 75, which is divisible by 3 and 5. So the previous approach was conflating the two.Therefore, the correct approach is to consider the decimal number obtained from the base b pandigital permutation and check its primality using decimal rules. This complicates things because we can't use general divisibility rules based on the base b digit sum. Instead, we have to check each number individually or find another pattern.However, given that for higher bases, the numbers get very large, manually checking is impractical. So maybe there's a pattern or restriction we can apply.First, let's note that for a number in base b with digits 0 to b-1 each exactly once, the number must have exactly b digits (including leading zeros), which means in decimal, the number is between (b-1)! / (b-1) )? Wait, no. The minimal number in base b is 012... (b-1), which is 0*b^{b-1} + 1*b^{b-2} + ... + (b-2)*b + (b-1). The maximal number is (b-1)*b^{b-1} + ... + 1*b + 0.For example, in base 3, minimal is 012_3=1*3 +2=5, maximal is 210_3=2*9 +1*3 +0=21.In base 4, minimal is 0123_4=1*64 +2*16 +3*4 +0= wait no, base 4 digits are 0,1,2,3, so 0123_4 is 0*4^3 +1*4^2 +2*4 +3 = 16 +8 +3=27. Maximal is 3210_4=3*64 +2*16 +1*4 +0=192 +32 +4=228.But regardless, as b increases, the numbers grow exponentially. Therefore, primes are less likely. Moreover, for bases b where b is even, the last digit in base b (which is part of the pandigital set) could be even, making the decimal number even, hence not prime (except for 2). But in base 2, the pandigital number is '10'_2=2, which is prime. For higher even bases:Take base 4: the pandigital numbers must include 0,1,2,3. The last digit could be 0,1,2,3. If it's 0 or 2, then the decimal number is even (since in base 4, a number ending with 0 or 2 in base 4 is even in decimal). If it ends with 1 or 3, then the decimal number is odd. So in base 4, some pandigital numbers might be odd, hence possible primes. However, as we saw earlier, none of the base 4 pandigital numbers converted to decimal are prime.For base 6, the pandigital numbers must end with 0,1,2,3,4,5. If the last digit is 0,2,4, then the number is even; if it's 1,3,5, then odd. But since the minimal number in base 6 is quite large (012345_6=1*6^4 +2*6^3 +3*6^2 +4*6 +5=1296 + 432 + 108 +24 +5= 1865), which is 1865. Checking if 1865 is prime: 1865 divided by 5 is 373, so 5×373=1865, hence composite. Any pandigital number in base 6 ending with 5 would be divisible by 5, as the last digit in decimal is 5. Similarly, numbers ending with 0 are divisible by 6 (in decimal, since the last digit is 0 in base 6, which is 0 in decimal), but wait, no: the last digit in base 6 is 0, so the number is divisible by 6. So any pandigital number in base 6 ending with 0 is divisible by 6, hence composite (unless the number is 6 itself, which isn't possible here). Similarly, numbers ending with 5 in base 6 would convert to a decimal number ending with 5 (since 5 in base 6 is 5 in decimal), hence divisible by 5. Therefore, all pandigital numbers in base 6 would either be even (ending with 0,2,4) or divisible by 5 (ending with 5), except those ending with 1 or 3, which are odd and not divisible by 5. So maybe there's a chance for those. However, checking specific examples would be time-consuming, but given the size, it's unlikely.Given the exponential growth, it's plausible that only small bases (2 and 3) have such primes. We already saw that base 2 has p=2, and base 3 has p=5,7,11,19. Let's check if base 1 is allowed, but base 1 isn't a standard positional numbering system. So the possible bases start from 2 upwards.Another point to consider: in base b, a pandigital number with digits 0 to b-1 must have exactly b digits. Therefore, the number in base b is a permutation of the digits 0 through b-1, forming a b-digit number. When converted to decimal, this number must be prime.For base 2: 2 digits, '10'_2=2 (prime).Base 3: 3 digits, permutations like '012'_3=5, '021'_3=7, '102'_3=11, '201'_3=19, which are primes.Base 4: All permutations checked earlier (like 27, 75, etc.) were composite.Base 5: All permutations would result in numbers between 194 and 2930. However, considering the last digit in base 5 (which affects divisibility in decimal):- If the last digit is 0, the number in decimal ends with a multiple of 5 (since 0 in base 5 is 0*5^0=0 in decimal), so divisible by 5, hence composite unless the number is 5, which is too small.- If the last digit is 1, the decimal number ends with 1 (possible prime).- If the last digit is 2, the decimal number ends with 2, hence even, composite.- If the last digit is 3, decimal ends with 3, possible prime.- If the last digit is 4, decimal ends with 4, even, composite.So we need to check permutations ending with 1 or 3 in base 5. For example:Let's take a permutation like 42301_5? Wait, base 5 has 5 digits, so let's correct that. Wait, in base 5, a 5-digit number using 0,1,2,3,4. For example, 10234_5:1*5^4 +0*5^3 +2*5^2 +3*5 +4 = 1*625 +0 +2*25 +15 +4 = 625 +50 +15 +4 = 694. Check if 694 is prime: even, so no.Another example: 12430_5. Wait, digits can't exceed 4 in base 5. So permutations must be of 0,1,2,3,4. Let's pick 10243_5: 1*625 +0*125 +2*25 +4*5 +3 =625 +0 +50 +20 +3=698 (even), no.Wait, maybe 12340_5: 1*625 +2*125 +3*25 +4*5 +0=625 +250 +75 +20 +0=970 (even).How about 13240_5: 1*625 +3*125 +2*25 +4*5 +0=625 +375 +50 +20=1070 (even).Hmm, perhaps permutations ending with 1:For example, 42301_5: 4*625 +2*125 +3*25 +0*5 +1=2500 +250 +75 +0 +1=2826 (ends with 6, even).Wait, maybe 43201_5:4*625 +3*125 +2*25 +0*5 +1=2500 +375 +50 +0 +1=2926 (even).Another permutation ending with 1: 34201_5:3*625 +4*125 +2*25 +0*5 +1=1875 +500 +50 +0 +1=2426 (even).Wait, seems like all permutations ending with 1 in base 5 result in even decimal numbers? Wait, no. Wait, the last digit in base 5 is 1, which is 1 in decimal. So why are these numbers even?Wait, let's take an example: permutation 10234_5: the decimal value is 1*625 +0*125 +2*25 +3*5 +4=625 +0 +50 +15 +4=694, which ends with 4, even. Wait, why does the last digit in base 5 being 4 make the decimal number end with 4? Because when converting to decimal, the last digit is added as is. For example, the last digit in base 5 is d_0, which contributes d_0*5^0 = d_0. So if the last digit in base 5 is 1, the decimal number ends with 1. But in the example above, 42301_5 ends with 1 in base 5, so decimal ends with 1. Wait, let's check that:42301_5: digits are 4,2,3,0,1. So:4*5^4 +2*5^3 +3*5^2 +0*5^1 +1*5^0=4*625 +2*125 +3*25 +0*5 +1=2500 +250 +75 +0 +1=2826. Wait, 2826 ends with 6, not 1. Wait, this is a mistake. The last digit in base 5 is the units place, which is 1*5^0=1. But when converted to decimal, the entire number is 2826, which ends with 6. How does that happen?Ah, because the number in base 5 is 42301_5, which is:4*5^4 (4*625=2500) +2*5^3 (2*125=250) +3*5^2 (3*25=75) +0*5^1 (0*5=0) +1*5^0 (1*1=1)Total:2500+250=2750; 2750+75=2825; 2825+0=2825; 2825+1=2826.So the decimal number ends with 6 because 2826 mod 10=6. But the last digit in base 5 is 1, which contributes 1 to the decimal value. However, other digits contribute to higher decimal digits. So the last digit in base 5 does not correspond directly to the last digit in decimal. Therefore, my earlier assumption was wrong. This complicates things because we cannot easily determine the decimal last digit from the base 5 last digit. Therefore, the divisibility rules for decimal primes are not straightforward from the base b digits.This means that for higher bases, we cannot easily rule out primes based on the last digit in base b. Therefore, the only way is to check each permutation, which is impractical manually. However, considering that for base 2 and 3 we found primes, and for base 4 and 5 none were found, maybe only bases 2 and 3 have such primes.Additionally, note that for base b, the number must be a permutation of 0 to b-1 with exactly b digits. The number in decimal is then a sum_{i=0}^{b-1} d_i * b^i, where d_i are the digits 0 to b-1 each exactly once.For base b=2: sum is 1*2^1 +0*2^0=2, prime.Base b=3: possible permutations give 5,7,11,19.Base b=4: numbers like 27 (divisible by 3), 75 (divisible by 3,5), etc., none prime.Base b=5: numbers start at 194 and go up to 2930; even if some are not divisible by small primes, the likelihood of them being prime decreases with size.Moreover, considering the time it would take to check each permutation, it's reasonable to conjecture that only bases 2 and 3 yield such primes.Another angle: the number in base b must be pandigital (including 0) and prime. In decimal, the only pandigital prime (using digits 0-9) is not known, but it's considered unlikely due to their size and divisibility. Similarly, in lower bases, we've found primes, but higher bases likely do not.Therefore, the final answer would be the primes found in base 2 and 3: 2,5,7,11,19.But wait, in base 2, the prime is 2 (10_2). In base 3, the primes are 5 (12_3),7 (21_3),11 (102_3),19 (201_3). However, when written in their respective bases with leading zeros to include all digits, they become pandigital. For example, 5 in base 3 is '12', but with leading zero, it's '012', which includes all digits 0,1,2. However, does the problem require that the standard representation (without leading zeros) includes all digits, or is leading zero allowed for the sake of including 0? The problem statement says "each digit 0, 1, ⋯, b−1 appears exactly once (0 can be the leading digit)." This suggests that leading zeros are allowed to include the digit 0. Therefore, the number's representation in base b, possibly with leading zeros, must have each digit exactly once. However, when converted to decimal, leading zeros don't affect the value. Therefore, the number p in decimal is the same as the number without leading zeros in base b.For example, in base 3, '012'_3 is 5, which is the same as '12'_3. So the standard representation is '12'_3, which does not include 0. Therefore, this would contradict the requirement because the digit 0 is not present. However, the problem statement explicitly allows leading zeros for the purpose of including the 0 digit. Therefore, even if the standard representation lacks the 0, by considering the number with leading zeros (making it have exactly b digits), the 0 is included. Therefore, for p=5, which is '12'_3 normally, but when considered as '012'_3, it includes all digits 0,1,2. Hence, the problem allows this interpretation.Thus, the primes are those that when written in base b with leading zeros (to make b digits), include all digits 0 to b-1 exactly once, and the number itself is prime. Therefore, the primes found are:Base 2: 2 (10_2).Base 3: 5 (012_3), 7 (021_3), 11 (102_3), 19 (201_3).Now, check if there are any other bases beyond 3. For example, base 4: as checked earlier, none.Therefore, the final answer is the primes 2,5,7,11,19.But wait, let's confirm each of these:- 2 in base 2: 10_2, digits 1 and 0. Each exactly once. Yes, prime.- 5 in base 3: 012_3, digits 0,1,2. Each exactly once. 5 is prime.- 7 in base 3: 021_3, digits 0,2,1. Each exactly once. 7 is prime.- 11 in base 3: 102_3, digits 1,0,2. Each exactly once. 11 is prime.- 19 in base 3: 201_3, digits 2,0,1. Each exactly once. 19 is prime.These all check out. Are there any others? Let's see in base 3: permutations like 120_3 (15), 210_3 (21) are not prime. So only four primes in base 3.Therefore, the complete list is 2,5,7,11,19.
✅:The prime numbers ( p ) that satisfy the condition are those which, when represented in some base ( b ) with leading zeros allowed, include each digit from ( 0 ) to ( b-1 ) exactly once. Through systematic analysis:1. Base ( b = 2 ): - The number ( 10_2 ) (decimal 2) is prime and uses digits 0 and 1 exactly once.2. Base ( b = 3 ): - ( 012_3 = 5 ), ( 021_3 = 7 ), ( 102_3 = 11 ), and ( 201_3 = 19 ) are primes. Each uses digits 0, 1, and 2 exactly once.3. Bases ( b geq 4 ): - For ( b = 4 ) and higher, no permutations of digits ( 0, 1, ldots, b-1 ) form a prime number when converted to decimal. This is due to divisibility by smaller primes or the numbers being even/divisible by 5.Final Answer: The primes are (boxed{2}), (boxed{5}), (boxed{7}), (boxed{11}), and (boxed{19}).
🔑:1. Interpreting the Condition: Let ( p ) be a prime number that, in a base ( b ) representation, ( p ) contains each digit ( 0, 1, ldots, b-1 ) exactly once. Represent ( p ) in base ( b ) as: [ p = left(a_{b-1} a_{b-2} cdots a_{1} a_{0}right)_{b} ] where ( {a_{0}, a_{1}, ldots, a_{b-1}} = {0, 1, ldots, b-1} ).2. Expressing ( p ) in Decimal: Expanding ( p ) in decimal notation, we have: [ p = a_0 + a_1 b + a_2 b^2 + cdots + a_{b-1} b^{b-1} ]3. Simplifying the Expression: Using the combination properties of terms, simplify the expression for ( p ): [ p = (a_0 + a_1 + cdots + a_{b-1}) + a_1 (b-1) + a_2 (b^2 - 1) + cdots + a_{b-1} (b^{b-1} - 1) ]4. Sum of Digits in Base ( b ): The sum of the digits ( a_0 + a_1 + cdots + a_{b-1} ) equals the sum of the first ( b ) numbers: [ a_0 + a_1 + cdots + a_{b-1} = frac{b(b-1)}{2} ] Hence: [ p = frac{b(b-1)}{2} + a_1 (b-1) + a_2 (b^2 - 1) + cdots + a_{b-1} (b^{b-1} - 1) ]5. Analyzing for Even Base (( b = 2k )): When ( b ) is even, ( b-1 ) is odd, and ( b-1 mid p ). For ( p ) to be prime, ( p mod (b-1) ) has to hold. Hence, for simplicity, let ( b = 2 ). Current base representation ( (a_1 a_0)_2 ) simplifies: [ p = (10)_2 = 2 ] Therefore, when ( b = 2 ), the prime is: [ p = 2 ]6. Analyzing for Odd Base (( b = 2k+1 )): When ( b ) is odd, ( k mid p ). For the smallest non-trivial case, let ( b = 3 ). All permutations of ({0, 1, 2}) in topological order provide valid primes: [ (012)_3 = 0 cdot 3^2 + 1 cdot 3 + 2 = 5 ] [ (021)_3 = 0 cdot 3^2 + 1 cdot 3^1 + 2 cdot 3^0 = 7 ] [ (102)_3 = 1 cdot 3^2 + 0 cdot 3^1 + 2 cdot 3^0 = 11 ] [ (201)_3 = 2 cdot 3^2 + 0 cdot 3^1 + 1 cdot 3^0 = 19 ] After verifying, these are all primes and cover the potential solutions. 7. Conclusion: The prime numbers that satisfy the given condition are: [ 2 = (10)_2, quad 5 = (012)_3, quad 7 = (021)_3, quad 11 = (102)_3, quad 19 = (201)_3 ] [boxed{2, 5, 7, 11, 19}]
