If the perimeter of an isosceles triangle with integral sides is 2017, how many different lengths are possible for the legs

Mathematics

Triss [41]3 years ago

Because the perimeter is 2017, the side lengths must add to 2017;
a+b+c=2017
An isosceles triangle has two sides of the same length, so b=a. These two sides of the same length are the "legs".
a+a+c=2017
2a+c=2017
Integral means integer (assuming this is not a calculus problem). So, the smallest possible length for side c is 1.
2a+1=2017
2a=2016
a=1008
The legs can be up to 1008 units long apiece. Because the legs must be integer values, 1008 different lengths are possible for the legs.

The population of a local species of beetle can be found using an infinite geometric series where a1 = 880 and the common ratio
nasty-shy [4]
<span>Data:

infinite geometric series

A1 = 880

r = 1 / 4

The sum of a geometric series  in sigma notation is:

  n              1 - r^n
 ∑ Ai = A ----------- ; where A = A1
i = 1             1-r

 When | r | < 1 the infinite sum exists and is equal to</span><span><span>:

  ∞               A
 ∑ Ai =   ---------- ; where A = A1
i = 1          1 - r</span>

So, in this case</span><span><span>:

  ∞               880
 ∑ Ai =    -------------- = 4 * 880 / 3 = 3520 /3 = 1173 + 1/3
i = 1         1 - (1/4)</span>  </span>

Answer: 1173 and 1/3
