Prove the Following Mathematic Form

In summary, we can express A as the multiplication of two consecutive positive integers, with the first being a multiple of 3 and the second differing by 1. This can be further simplified to the form of k(k+1), where k is a positive integer.

$A=\overbrace{ 11-------1 }^{m}\underbrace{ 22-------2 }_{m}$

prove :$A=k\times (k+1),\,\, where\,\, k\in N$

(A can be expressed as the multiplication of two consecutive positive integers)

[tex]\displaystyle A=\frac{10^m-1}{9} \times 10^m +2 \times \frac{10^m-1}{9}[/tex]

[tex]\displaystyle 9A=(10^m-1) \times 10^m +2 \times (10^m-1)[/tex]

[tex]\displaystyle 9A=10^{2m} -10^m +2 \times 10^m-2[/tex]

[tex]\displaystyle 9A=10^{2m} +10^m - 2[/tex]

[tex]\displaystyle 9A=(10^m-1)(10^m +2) [/tex]

Each factor on the right is a multiple of 3 and they differ by 3 so on dividing by 9 we get [tex]\displaystyle A=k(k+1)[/tex] where [tex]\displaystyle k = \frac{10^m-1}{3}[/tex] .

I nice start to my day, thank you :)

(A can be expressed as the multiplication of two consecutive positive integers)

$A=\overbrace{ 11-------1 }^{m}\times 10^m+\underbrace{ 1-------1 }_{m}\times 2$
$=\overbrace{ 11-------1 }^{m}\times (10^m+2)=\overbrace{ 11-------1 }^{m}\times (\overbrace{ 99-------9 }^{m}+3)$
$=\overbrace{ 11-------1 }^{m}\times (\overbrace{ 33-------3 }^{m}\times 3+3)$
$=\overbrace{ 33-------3 }^{m}\times (\overbrace{ 33-------3 }^{m}+1)=k\times (k+1)$
($k=\overbrace{ 33-------3 }^{m}$)

To prove this, we can start by breaking down the given expression:

$A=\overbrace{ 11-------1 }^{m}\underbrace{ 22-------2 }_{m}$

$=111...111 \times 22...222$

$=11...11 \times 10^{m} + 1 \times 22...22 \times 10^{m} + 2$

$=11...11 \times 10^{m} + 22...22 \times 10^{m} + 2$

$=11...11 \times (10^{m} + 1) + 22...22 \times 10^{m} + 2$

$=11...11 \times (10^{m} + 1) + 22...22 \times (10^{m} + 1)$

$=(11...11 + 22...22)\times (10^{m} + 1)$

$=33...33 \times (10^{m} + 1)$

Now, we can see that 33...33 is a multiple of 11, since each digit is a 3 and the number of digits is m. Similarly, 10^{m} + 1 is a multiple of 11, since 10^{m} is a multiple of 11 and 1 is also a multiple of 11. Therefore, 33...33 \times (10^{m} + 1) is a multiple of 11.

Additionally, we know that 10^{m} + 1 is also a multiple of 10, since 10^{m} is a multiple of 10 and 1 is also a multiple of 10. Therefore, 33...33 \times (10^{m} + 1) is a multiple of 10.

This shows that A is a multiple of both 11 and 10, and thus, it can be expressed as the multiplication of two consecutive positive integers, k and k+1, where k is the number of digits of 33...33 and k+1 is the number of digits of 10^{m} + 1.

Therefore, we have proved that $A=k\times (k+1),\,\, where\,\, k\in N$.
 

FAQ: Prove the Following Mathematic Form

What is the purpose of "prove the following mathematical form"?

The purpose of proving a mathematical form is to demonstrate that it is logically and mathematically valid. This is important in mathematics as it allows us to establish the truth of a statement or equation.

What are the steps for proving a mathematical form?

The steps for proving a mathematical form involve starting with the given statement or equation, using logical and mathematical reasoning to manipulate it, and arriving at a conclusion that is supported by the given information. This often involves using known mathematical principles, axioms, and theorems.

Why is it important to prove a mathematical form?

Proving a mathematical form is important because it allows us to establish the truth or validity of a statement or equation. This is essential in mathematics, as it ensures that our conclusions and solutions are accurate and reliable.

What are some common strategies for proving a mathematical form?

Some common strategies for proving a mathematical form include using direct proof, proof by contradiction, proof by contrapositive, and proof by induction. These strategies involve using logical reasoning and known mathematical principles to establish the validity of a statement or equation.

Can a mathematical form be proven to be false?

Yes, a mathematical form can be proven to be false. This can be done by providing a counterexample or using logical reasoning to show that the statement or equation is not valid. In mathematics, disproving a statement is just as important as proving it, as it helps to refine our understanding and knowledge of mathematical principles.
