Consider this equation:
1/4 = (A1)-2 + (A2)-2 +.....+ (An)-2
where, each of the Ai's is a different positive integer - for all i=1 to n (inclusively).
n must be greater than 1.
- Determine the minimum value of n, for which there is at least one solution. Provide at least one valid representation for that smallest value.
- Determine the next three possible values of n for which there is a valid solution (At least one representation corresponding to each of the three values of n must be given.)
- Determine the maximum value of n that is achievable by way of simulation.
Only as a bonus question, display all possible representations corresponding to the minimum value of n.
