Integer Forms (Posted on 2012-01-07) |
|
Let us denote F(n) = Σi= 1 to n i*(-1)i+1
For example, F(4) = 1-2+3-4, F(5) = 1-2+3-4+5, F(6) = 1-2+3-4+5-6... and, so on.
(1) Determine the general form of two positive integers x and y that satisfy:
F(x) + F(y) + F(x+y) = 2012
(2) Can you explain why no positive integer solution exists whenever F(x) + F(y) + F(x+y) = 2011?
