I've got items to deliver and need to figure how to use the least number of stamps.

eg 34x +24y + z = 289

all of the unknowns have to integers.

also if anyone could write this mathematically correct I'd like to learn more about this topic.

thanks for any help smile

I heard it on QI something about when you add 2 and 2 using log it turns out to be 3.99 recurring.

He hasn't died because I haven't seen episode 4, 5 and 6 so his death is only a speculative rumour.

Thank you I get how to do it what I was confused about is "Prove that 2n natural numbers is n(2n+1)" I thought it meant prove 2+4+6+8+...+2n is n(2n+1).

I know you there isn't a nobel prize in mathematics but four years is a bit long it's like the world cup but it's only a one man team without brazil winning it four times.

ok that would make sense if it didn't make sense before but if it did make sense it wouldn't make sense.

I'm really confused what does

◊0=0
◊1=1

mean?

I only started a level is there a easier way? I think I saw "S=n/2[2a + (n-1)d]" when the teacher did it.
thanks, JD

Could someone help I'm not sure how to do this.

"Show that the sum of the first  2n natural numbers is n(2n+1)"
It's a question from the heinemann c1 book.

I would ask the teacher again but it's half term and I don't know his phone number.
good day
