Let anan−1…a1a0‾\overline{a_{n}a_{n-1}\ldots a_{1}a_{0}} be the decimal representation of a prime positive integer such that n>1n>1 and an>1a_{n}>1 . Prove that the polynomial P(x)=anxn+…+a1x+a0P(x)=a_{n}x^{n}+\ldots +a_{1}x+a_{0} cannot be written as a product of two non-constant integer polynomials.

Problem 4

  • Paper

The elements of the set FF are some subsets of {1,2,…,n}\left\{1,2,\ldots ,n\right\} and satisfy the conditions: i) if AA belongs to FF , then AA has three elements; ii)if AA and BB are distinct elements of FF , then AA and BB have at most one common element. Let f(n)f(n) be the greatest possible number of elements of FF . Prove that n2−4n6≤f(n)≤n2−n6\frac{n^{2}-4n}{6}\leq f(n) \leq \frac{n^{2}-n}{6}
