The Egyptian algorithm for multiplication was one of the interesting topics explained in the Rhind papyrus. Let us look at an example of this strategy. Suppose we want to compute 19 x 35. Successively doubling 35, we obtain this list: 1 x 35 = 35 2 x 35 = 70 4 x 35 = 140 8 x 35 = 280 16 x 35 = 560 Adding the results in the highlighted rows gives 665 as the desired product.

The steps to convert 18 over 8 to a decimal are shown below: Division is shown with divisor 8 and quotient 2.35 and dividend 18. The numbers below 18 in sequence are subtract 16 labeled as Step 1, 20, subtract 16 labeled as Step 2, 40 labeled as Step 3, subtract 40, and 0 labeled as Step 4. In what step is the first error?
Please help m solve the questions below and kindly explain so I can be able to understand them by myself. Thanks a lot. (1) Think about the three-digit numbers that can be formed from the digits 1, 2, 3, 4and 5 without repetition.(a) How many of these are there?(b) How many of them are even?(c) How many of them are greater than 250? (2) Some of these are partitions and some aren’t. You don’t need to find the answer, youjust need to say why it is or isn’t a partition.(a) Breaking this class up into first-year students, second-year students, etc.(b) Breaking this class up into CS majors, math majors, etc.(c) Splitting up the numbers {1, 2, . . . 10} into even and odd(d) Splitting up the numbers {1, 2, . . . 10} into multiples of three, multiples of two,or neither

1. Starting with any rectangle, we can create a new, larger rectangle by attaching a square to the longer side. For example, if we start with a 2 x 5 rectangle, we would glue on a 5 x 5 square, forming a 5 x 7 rectangle: The next rectangle would be formed by attaching a 7 x 7 square to the top or bottom of the 5 x 7 rectangle. (a) Create a sequence of rectangles using this rule starting with a 1 x 2 rectangle. Then write out the sequence of perimeters for the rectangles (the first term of the sequence would be 6, since the perimeter of a 1 x 2 rectangle is 6, the next term would be 10). (b) Repeat the above part this time starting with a 1 x 3 rectangle. (c) Find recursive definitions for each of the sequences of perimeters you found in parts (a) and (b). Don't forget to give the initial conditions as well. (d) Are the sequences arithmetic? Geometric? If not, are they close to being either of these (i.e., are the differences or ratios almost constant)? Write down the sequences of…

a)Select a variety of one- and two digit numbers between 1 and 99 and multiply by 9. Record your results. b) Find the sum of the digits in each of your products in part (a). If the sum is not a one digit number find the sum of the digits of the resulting sum again until you obtain a one -digit number, c) make a conjecture about the sum of digits when a one- or two digit number is multiplied by 9
