Problem 2
(√2+√11+√13)(√2+√11-√13)(√2-√11+√13)(-√2+√11+√13)
=-(√2+√11+√13)(√2+√11-√13)(√2-√11+√13)(√2-√11-√13)

=-(√2+√11+√13)(√2+√11-√13)(√2-√11+√13)(√2-√11-√13)

=-((√2+√11)2-(√13)2))((√2-√11)2-(√13)2)
=-(2+11+2√22-13)(2+11-2√22-13)
=-(2√22)(-2√22)
=4.22

How is that correct when the radius R is 2x 2 - 3x + 1 ?
U jst square it dats all
And mind u breaking down 2x2-3x+1 give (2x-1)(x-1)
And square it

I like the way you solve most questions with graphs. Your approach reminds me of Descartes.

Question: the result when a number is divided by 2 is the same result when that number is divided by 4 what is the number?

The integer n is the smallest positive multiple of 15 such that every digit of n is either 0 or 2. Compute n/15


Okay, for integer n which is the smallest positive multiple of 15 such, and has only 0 or 2 as digits, we need to look at possible solutions.
Firstly though, we can assume multiplicant m, to give m*15 = n.

In order for multiplicant m to give integer n, we can see that multiplicant has to end with an even number, i.e. set of (2,4,6,cool. Termination in an odd number will give integer n which has a '5' in its digits.

Secondly, n has to be divisible by both 5 & 3. This means that n (which is made up of only 0 & 2) can only end in a '0' and not a '2'.

So, we have *****0 as the n we are looking for. This makes '20' available as possible number. Obviously not the answer, anyways.

Again, number in tenth position cannot be a '0', hence n/5 will produce another number which will end in a '0' and will not be divisible by '3'.
So, we can only have ****20.

Next, we can attempt 220. 220/5 = 44 which is not divisible by 3.

So, we move on with ***220. We have next, 2220 or 2020. 2020/5 = 404 which is not divisible by 3.

However, 2220/5 = 444 which is divisible by 3.

Sorry, Edit: Hence, smallest multiple n is 148 cheesy

Briony takes a standard pack of 52 cards and throws some cards away. However she makes sure she keeps all four aces among the remaining cards. She then selects four cards at random from these remaining cards. If the probability of her selecting the four aces is 1/1001, how many cards did she throw away?

Let number of cards Briony now has be x.
Probability of selecting four aces in a row in pack is

(4/x).(3/(x-1)).(2/(x-2)).(1/(x-3)) = 1/1001
24/(x.(x-1).(x-2).(x-3))=1/1001

x.(x-1).(x-2).(x-3)=24.1001
x=14 is a positive solution. Others are negative and complex.

Hence Briony has 14 cards. She had 52 before and so must have thrown away 52-14 = 38 cards.

Each of the interior angles of a heptagon (a seven-sided polygon) is obtuse and the number of degrees in each angle is a multiple of 9. No two angles are equal. Find in degrees the sum of the largest two angles in the heptagon.

Let abcd be a four digit number with the following properties: a + b + c + d = ab = c x d, where ab denotes the two-digit number 10a + b. What is the remainder when the largest number with these properties is divided by 1000?

The challenge is allowed. And that's the more reason I love the course after all so bring it on. I am on the altar now praying they bring the electricity early
