01 January 2011
Consider the real number √2+√3.
When we calculate the even powers of √2+√3 we get:
(√2+√3)^2 = 9.898979485566356...
(√2+√3)^4 = 97.98979485566356...
(√2+√3)^6 = 969.998969071069263...
(√2+√3)^8 = 9601.99989585502907...
(√2+√3)^10 = 95049.999989479221...
(√2+√3)^12 = 940897.9999989371855...
(√2+√3)^14 = 9313929.99999989263...
(√2+√3)^16 = 92198401.99999998915...
It looks like that the number of consecutive nines at the beginning of the fractional part of these powers is non-decreasing.
In fact it can be proven that the fractional part of (√2+√3)^2n approaches 1 for large n.
Consider all real numbers of the form p+q with p and q positive integers and pq, such that the fractional part of (p+q)^2n approaches 1 for large n.
Let C(p,q,n) be the number of consecutive nines at the beginning of the fractional part of
(p+q)^2n.
Let N(p,q) be the minimal value of n such that C(p,q,n) ≥ 2011.
Find ∑N(p,q) for p+q ≤ 2011.
Let N(p,q) be the minimal value of n such that C(p,q,n) ≥ 2011.
Find ∑N(p,q) for p+q ≤ 2011.
