Question

Need help with a discrete math word problem.

Answer 1

max{n in N: n != 6a + 9b + 20c, a, b, c in N}

Proof by induction.

apparently I'm suppose to find a run of six in a row kind of like this
except the numbers are wrong:

Example:
50 = 6a +9b + 20c
51 = ...
52 =
53
54
55
---------
56 + 6

Answer 3

Have you ever heard of McNugget numbers?

Answer 4

no, I don't thinks so

Answer 5

This will big help for you to look it up.
I'm reading up on it right now.

Answer 6

So this question looks almost exactly the same. :O

Answer 7

Awesome, thanks for the help. :D

Answer 8

It looks like you just have to make a table. I wish there was a cooler fancier way. There has to be right?

Answer 9

And in that hint 3 that was what you said you were looking for.

Answer 10

Haha, probably, but I'm glad there is a simple way. :)

Answer 11

Yeah, exactly, the six numbers.

Answer 12

Well I hope you enjoyed that meal. Sounds fattening. Talking about the nuggets we just digested.

Answer 13

Indeed, except, I was eating profiteroles. :O

Answer 14

To be honest, these look pretty fattening too. :/

Answer 15

Do you happen to know how to do recursion?

Answer 16

"By subtracting degrees we get the degree of the polynomial, i.e., A(p,q)=pq−p−q.

If you have a, b, and c pairwise relatively prime, then A(a,b,c)≤min{A(a,b),A(a,c),A(b,c)}"
This might be extremely helpful.
I found A(a,b)=39
A(a,c)=94 and A(b,c)=151
The smallest of these values us 39.
So this gives us a pretty good number to start with.
Except I think they got the inequality wrong because A(a,b,c)=43 and 43>39. hmmm....
I'm still reading honestly.

Answer 17

oh! is that a different question?

Answer 18

And maybe. Ask the question.

Yeah, a question in progress, but I never really got an answer.
