Mathematics

avanturin [10]3 years ago

Answer: the number can be 9

Step-by-step explanation:

we want that

n + n - 1 + n-2 + .... + 2 + 1 = X

X must be a perfect square.

And the last number, 1, must be said by player 1, so n must be an odd number.

n + (n - 1) + (n -2) + ... + (n - n + 1) = n*n - (1 + 2 + 3 + .... + n)

and we know that:

(1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + ... + n) = n*(n + 1)/2

So we have:

x = n*n - n*(n + 1)/2 = n*n - n*n/2 - n/2 = n*n/2 - n/2 = n*(n + 1)/2

Now we want to find X such that is a perfect square and n must be an odd integer.

You can start giving different values for n until you reach a value of X that is a perfect square, for example, if you take n = 9, we have X = 36.

and 36 = 6*6

So if player 9, he will win always.

For what values of x and y must ABCD be a parallelogram?
n200080 [17]
<h2>x^{\circ}=21^{\circ} \ and \ y^{\circ}=39^{\circ}</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that vertically opposite angles of a parallelogram are equal .

\angle ABC =\angle ADC\ and \ \angle BAD = \angle DAC

⇒3x^{\circ}=(4x-21)^{\circ} \ and \ 3y^{\circ}=(y+78)^{\circ}

⇒3x^{\circ}-4x^{\circ}=-21^{\circ} \ and \ 3y^{\circ}-y^{\circ}=78^{\circ}

⇒-x^{\circ}=-21^{\circ} \ and \ 2y^{\circ}=78^{\circ}

⇒x^{\circ}=21^{\circ} \ and \ y^{\circ}=39^{\circ}
