... of the shape qX + qY − p (with nonzero integers p and q) satisfies P (e, π) = 0. A stronger conjecture is the following: Conjecture 2.1 The numbers e and π are algebraically independent. However, the same question with π and eπ has been answered: Theorem 2.2 (Nesterenko, 1996) The numbers π and eπ a ...

... 24. Four friends W, X, Y, and Z are walking in a straight line. Y is not second. X is right behind Y. Z is right behind W, who is not third. Taking into account all of these constraints, we can draw the diagram below. We can see in this diagram, that only Y or Z can be third. Z cannot be third becau ...

... Big Problem 7: Tulie Number Flipping. Tulie has just discovered the Reciprocal button on her calculator (it’s labeled “x−1 ”on the TI-83+). First she noticed that if you enter a number and take the reciprocal, and then take the reciprocal of the result, you get back the original number. This was a l ...

... that x + y is a prime greater than p . If x 4- y is composite, it must have a prime divisor greater than p. . This last statement follows from the fact that every prime q<.Vk divides m and hence divides x. If q divides x + y, then it divides y9 which contradicts the fact that (x9 y, 2) is a primitiv ...
