answer：Okay, so I have this inequality: 3x - 2y - 6 < 0. And I need to figure out which side of the line 3x - 2y - 6 = 0 this inequality represents. The options are Upper Right, Lower Right, Upper Left, or Lower Left. Hmm, let me think about how to approach this.First, I remember that inequalities like this represent regions on one side of a line. So, the line 3x - 2y - 6 = 0 is the boundary, and the inequality 3x - 2y - 6 < 0 will represent all the points (x, y) that make this expression negative. To find out which side that is, I can use a test point that's not on the line itself. The origin (0,0) is usually a good choice because it's easy to plug in.Let me substitute x = 0 and y = 0 into the inequality:3(0) - 2(0) - 6 < 00 - 0 - 6 < 0-6 < 0Okay, that's true. So the origin is in the region where the inequality holds. Now, I need to figure out which side of the line the origin is on. To do that, maybe I should graph the line or at least understand its direction.The equation of the line is 3x - 2y - 6 = 0. Let me rewrite it in slope-intercept form (y = mx + b) to better understand its slope and y-intercept.Starting with 3x - 2y - 6 = 0, I'll solve for y:3x - 6 = 2yy = (3x - 6)/2y = (3/2)x - 3So, the line has a slope of 3/2 and a y-intercept at (0, -3). A positive slope means it's rising from left to right. The y-intercept is below the origin, so the line crosses the y-axis at (0, -3). Now, since the origin (0,0) is above the y-intercept (0, -3), and the line is rising, I can imagine that the origin is above the line. But wait, I need to be careful here. Just because the y-intercept is below the origin doesn't necessarily mean the origin is above the entire line. The line could be going upwards, so maybe the origin is on one side or the other.Another way to figure this out is to consider the direction of the inequality. The inequality is 3x - 2y - 6 < 0, which can be rewritten as 3x - 2y < 6. If I think about the line 3x - 2y = 6, the inequality represents all the points below this line. But wait, that's not exactly the same as the original line. Let me clarify.Actually, the original line is 3x - 2y - 6 = 0, which is the same as 3x - 2y = 6. So, the inequality 3x - 2y - 6 < 0 is equivalent to 3x - 2y < 6. This means all the points (x, y) that lie below the line 3x - 2y = 6.But I already know that the origin (0,0) satisfies the inequality, and the origin is above the y-intercept of the line. So, if the origin is above the y-intercept and satisfies the inequality, which represents the region below the line, that seems contradictory. Maybe I made a mistake in interpreting the inequality.Wait, perhaps I should think about the inequality in terms of the direction it's facing. The standard form of a linear inequality is Ax + By + C < 0. To determine which side of the line this represents, I can use the test point method. Since the origin satisfies the inequality, the region represented by the inequality is the same side as the origin relative to the line.Given that the line has a positive slope, and the origin is above the y-intercept, I need to visualize where the origin is in relation to the entire line. If I plot the line y = (3/2)x - 3, it starts at (0, -3) and rises to the right. The origin is at (0,0), which is above (0, -3). So, is the origin above or below the line?To check, let's see where the line is at x = 0. At x = 0, y = -3. So, the origin is at (0,0), which is above (0, -3). Now, does the origin lie above or below the line? Since the line at x = 0 is at y = -3, and the origin is at y = 0, which is higher, the origin is above the line.But the inequality 3x - 2y - 6 < 0 represents the region below the line, right? Because if I rearrange it to y > (3/2)x - 3, that would be the region above the line. Wait, no, let's do that correctly.Starting with 3x - 2y - 6 < 0:3x - 6 < 2y(3x - 6)/2 < yy > (3/2)x - 3Ah, so the inequality actually represents the region above the line y = (3/2)x - 3. That makes sense because when I tested the origin, it satisfied the inequality, and the origin is above the line.But the question is asking which side of the line the region is on, with options being Upper Right, Lower Right, Upper Left, or Lower Left. So, if the region is above the line, and the line is rising from left to right, the region above the line would be to the upper left of the line.Wait, let me think about that again. If the line is rising from left to right, the region above the line would be to the upper left, and the region below the line would be to the lower right. Yes, that seems right.So, the inequality 3x - 2y - 6 < 0 represents the region above the line, which is to the upper left of the line.But let me double-check by picking another test point. Suppose I choose the point (2, 0). Plugging into the inequality:3(2) - 2(0) - 6 < 06 - 0 - 6 < 00 < 0That's not true, so (2, 0) is not in the region. Now, (2, 0) is to the right of the origin, so it's in the lower right direction. Since it's not in the region, the region must be on the opposite side, which is the upper left.Another test point: (0, 1). Plugging in:3(0) - 2(1) - 6 < 00 - 2 - 6 < 0-8 < 0That's true, so (0, 1) is in the region. (0, 1) is above the origin, so it's in the upper left direction relative to the line.Therefore, I'm confident that the region represented by the inequality 3x - 2y - 6 < 0 is to the upper left of the line 3x - 2y - 6 = 0.

answer：Okay, so I have this problem about a round-robin tournament. Let me try to understand it step by step. First, in a round-robin tournament, each team plays every other team exactly once. That means if there are, say, n teams, each team plays n-1 games. The problem says every team won 8 games and lost 12 games, with no ties. So, each team played 8 + 12 = 20 games. Therefore, n - 1 = 20, which means n = 21. Wait, hold on, that doesn't make sense because 21 teams would mean each team plays 20 games, but 8 wins and 12 losses add up to 20. So, actually, n = 21. Hmm, but let me check that again.Wait, if each team plays every other team once, then the total number of games each team plays is n - 1. Since each team has 8 wins and 12 losses, that means n - 1 = 20, so n = 21. But wait, the answer choices are 1400, 1500, 1600, 1700, 1900, which are all much larger numbers. Maybe I made a mistake here.Wait, no, actually, the number of teams is 25 because each team plays 24 games (since n - 1 = 24). So, 8 wins and 16 losses? Wait, no, the problem says 8 wins and 12 losses, so 8 + 12 = 20 games. Therefore, n - 1 = 20, so n = 21. Hmm, but 21 teams would result in a total number of games being C(21,2) = 210 games. But each team has 8 wins, so total number of wins is 21 * 8 = 168. But in a tournament, the total number of wins should equal the total number of games, which is 210. But 168 is not equal to 210. So, that can't be right.Wait, I must have messed up. Let me think again. If each team has 8 wins and 12 losses, that means each team played 20 games. Therefore, n - 1 = 20, so n = 21. But then total number of games is C(21,2) = 210, and total number of wins is 21 * 8 = 168, which is less than 210. That's a contradiction because every game has a winner and a loser, so the total number of wins should equal the total number of games. Therefore, my initial assumption must be wrong.Wait, perhaps the number of teams is 25 because 25 teams would mean each team plays 24 games. But the problem says each team has 8 wins and 12 losses, which only adds up to 20 games. So, that can't be either. Hmm, this is confusing.Wait, maybe the problem is that I'm miscounting the number of teams. Let me try another approach. Let n be the number of teams. Each team plays n - 1 games. Each team has 8 wins and 12 losses, so n - 1 = 8 + 12 = 20. Therefore, n = 21. But as I saw earlier, this leads to a contradiction because the total number of wins would be 21 * 8 = 168, but the total number of games is C(21,2) = 210, so the total number of wins should be 210. Therefore, 168 ≠ 210, which is a problem.Wait, maybe the problem is that I'm misinterpreting the number of wins and losses. Let me check the problem again. It says each team won 8 games and lost 12 games. So, each team played 8 + 12 = 20 games. Therefore, n - 1 = 20, so n = 21. But as I saw, this leads to inconsistency because total wins would be 21 * 8 = 168, but total games are 210. Therefore, 168 ≠ 210, which is a contradiction. Therefore, my initial assumption must be wrong.Wait, perhaps the problem is that the number of teams is 25 because 25 teams would mean each team plays 24 games. But the problem says each team has 8 wins and 12 losses, which is only 20 games. So, that doesn't add up either. Hmm, I'm stuck here.Wait, maybe the problem is that each team has 8 wins and 12 losses, so each team played 20 games, meaning there are 21 teams. But then the total number of wins is 21 * 8 = 168, and the total number of games is C(21,2) = 210. Therefore, 168 wins and 210 - 168 = 42 losses? But that doesn't make sense because each game has one win and one loss. Therefore, the total number of wins must equal the total number of losses, which is 210. Therefore, 21 * 8 = 168 ≠ 210. So, this is a contradiction.Wait, maybe the problem is that I'm miscounting the number of teams. Let me try to solve for n. Let n be the number of teams. Each team plays n - 1 games. Each team has 8 wins and 12 losses, so n - 1 = 8 + 12 = 20. Therefore, n = 21. But as I saw, this leads to a contradiction because total wins would be 21 * 8 = 168, but total games are 210, so total wins should be 210. Therefore, 168 ≠ 210. Therefore, my initial assumption must be wrong.Wait, perhaps the problem is that the number of teams is 25 because 25 teams would mean each team plays 24 games. But the problem says each team has 8 wins and 12 losses, which is only 20 games. So, that doesn't add up either. Hmm, I'm stuck here.Wait, maybe the problem is that the number of teams is 25 because 25 teams would mean each team plays 24 games, but the problem says each team has 8 wins and 12 losses, which is 20 games.

That doesn't make sense because in a round-robin tournament, each team plays every other team exactly once, so the number of games each team plays is n - 1.Wait, maybe the problem is that the number of teams is 25, and each team played 24 games, but the problem says each team has 8 wins and 12 losses, which is 20 games.

That doesn't make sense because in a round-robin tournament, each team plays every other team exactly once, so the number of games each team plays is n - 1.Wait, I think I'm going in circles here. Let me try to solve for n again. Let n be the number of teams. Each team plays n - 1 games. Each team has 8 wins and 12 losses, so n - 1 = 8 + 12 = 20. Therefore, n = 21. But as I saw, this leads to a contradiction because total wins would be 21 * 8 = 168, but total games are C(21,2) = 210, so total wins should be 210. Therefore, 168 ≠ 210.

That doesn't make sense because in a round-robin tournament, each team plays every other team exactly once, so the number of games each team plays is n - 1.Wait, I think I'm stuck here. Maybe I should look for another approach. Let me try to think about the number of sets of three teams where A beats B, B beats C, and C beats A. This is a cyclic triangle, also known as a rock-paper-scissors scenario. In a tournament graph, each game is a directed edge from the winner to the loser. So, for three teams A, B, C, there are two possibilities: either there is a cyclic triangle (A→B, B→C, C→A) or a transitive triangle (A→B, B→C, A→C). The total number of triangles is C(n,3). The number of cyclic triangles plus the number of transitive triangles equals C(n,3). We need to find the number of cyclic triangles. To do that, we can subtract the number of transitive triangles from the total number of triangles.But how do we find the number of transitive triangles? In a transitive triangle, one team beats the other two, and one of those two beats the third. So, for each team, the number of transitive triangles where that team is the top of the hierarchy is C(wins, 2). Because if a team has w wins, it can form C(w,2) transitive triangles with any two of its beaten teams.Similarly, for each team, the number of transitive triangles where that team is the bottom of the hierarchy is C(losses, 2). Because if a team has l losses, it can form C(l,2) transitive triangles with any two teams that beat it.But wait, in a transitive triangle, there is only one top team and one bottom team. So, for each team, the number of transitive triangles where it is the top is C(w,2), and the number where it is the bottom is C(l,2). Therefore, the total number of transitive triangles is the sum over all teams of C(w,2) + C(l,2). But in our case, each team has the same number of wins and losses, which is 8 and 12 respectively. Therefore, for each team, the number of transitive triangles where it is the top is C(8,2) = 28, and where it is the bottom is C(12,2) = 66. But wait, if we sum C(8,2) over all teams, we get 25 * 28 = 700. Similarly, summing C(12,2) over all teams gives 25 * 66 = 1650. But wait, that can't be right because the total number of triangles is C(25,3) = 2300. Wait, but if we add 700 and 1650, we get 2350, which is more than 2300. That can't be right because the total number of triangles is only 2300. Therefore, I must have made a mistake.Wait, perhaps I'm double-counting the transitive triangles. Because each transitive triangle has one top team and one bottom team, so when we count C(w,2) for the top team and C(l,2) for the bottom team, we are counting each transitive triangle twice. Once from the top team's perspective and once from the bottom team's perspective.Therefore, the total number of transitive triangles is (sum over all teams of C(w,2) + C(l,2)) / 2. So, in our case, sum over all teams of C(w,2) is 25 * 28 = 700, and sum over all teams of C(l,2) is 25 * 66 = 1650. Therefore, total transitive triangles would be (700 + 1650) / 2 = 2350 / 2 = 1175.But wait, the total number of triangles is C(25,3) = 2300. Therefore, the number of cyclic triangles would be 2300 - 1175 = 1125. But that's not one of the answer choices. The answer choices are 1400, 1500, 1600, 1700, 1900.Hmm, that's a problem. Maybe my approach is wrong.Wait, let me think again. Maybe I should not divide by 2 because each transitive triangle is only counted once when considering the top team and once when considering the bottom team. Therefore, the total number of transitive triangles is actually 700 + 1650 = 2350, but since each triangle is counted twice, the actual number is 2350 / 2 = 1175. But then, the number of cyclic triangles would be 2300 - 1175 = 1125, which is not an answer choice. Therefore, I must have made a mistake in my reasoning.Wait, maybe I should not consider both C(w,2) and C(l,2) because in a transitive triangle, the top team has two wins, and the bottom team has two losses, but the middle team has one win and one loss. Therefore, perhaps the number of transitive triangles is only the sum over all teams of C(w,2), because each transitive triangle is uniquely determined by its top team and the two teams it beats. Similarly, it's also uniquely determined by its bottom team and the two teams that beat it. Therefore, if we sum C(w,2) over all teams, we get the number of transitive triangles where each is counted once from the top team's perspective. Similarly, summing C(l,2) over all teams gives the number of transitive triangles from the bottom team's perspective. Therefore, the total number of transitive triangles is sum C(w,2) + sum C(l,2). But this counts each triangle twice, once from the top and once from the bottom. Therefore, the actual number of transitive triangles is (sum C(w,2) + sum C(l,2)) / 2.But in our case, sum C(w,2) = 25 * 28 = 700, sum C(l,2) = 25 * 66 = 1650. Therefore, total transitive triangles = (700 + 1650) / 2 = 2350 / 2 = 1175. Therefore, the number of cyclic triangles is total triangles - transitive triangles = 2300 - 1175 = 1125. But again, 1125 is not an answer choice. Therefore, I must have made a mistake.Wait, maybe I should only consider sum C(w,2) because each transitive triangle is uniquely determined by its top team. Therefore, the number of transitive triangles is sum C(w,2) = 700. Therefore, the number of cyclic triangles would be 2300 - 700 = 1600, which is one of the answer choices. But wait, why do we only consider sum C(w,2)? Because each transitive triangle has a unique top team, so summing C(w,2) over all teams counts each transitive triangle exactly once. Similarly, summing C(l,2) over all teams counts each transitive triangle exactly once from the bottom team's perspective. Therefore, if we only consider sum C(w,2), we get the number of transitive triangles, and the rest are cyclic.Therefore, the number of cyclic triangles is C(25,3) - sum C(w,2) = 2300 - 700 = 1600. Therefore, the answer is 1600, which is option C.

answer：First, I need to determine the divisor when 265 is divided by a number, resulting in a quotient of 12 and a remainder of 1.I know that the relationship between the dividend, divisor, quotient, and remainder is given by the equation:[ text{Dividend} = (text{Divisor} times text{Quotient}) + text{Remainder} ]Substituting the known values into the equation:[ 265 = (x times 12) + 1 ]Next, I'll solve for ( x ) by isolating it on one side of the equation:[ 12x = 265 - 1 ][ 12x = 264 ][ x = frac{264}{12} ][ x = 22 ]Therefore, the divisor is 22.

answer：Alright, so I have this problem about a triangular table where each row is generated based on some rules. The top row has a single natural number ( a > 1 ). Then, for each number ( k ) in a row, the next row has ( k^2 ) to the left and ( k + 1 ) to the right. The task is to prove that in each row of the table, all the numbers are different.Let me try to understand the problem first. If I start with ( a = 2 ), the second row would have ( 2^2 = 4 ) and ( 2 + 1 = 3 ). So, the second row is [4, 3]. Then, for the third row, each number in the second row generates two numbers. So, 4 would generate ( 4^2 = 16 ) and ( 4 + 1 = 5 ), and 3 would generate ( 3^2 = 9 ) and ( 3 + 1 = 4 ). So, the third row is [16, 5, 9, 4]. Wait, but the problem statement says the third row consists of 16, 5, 9, and 4. That seems correct. Then, the fourth row would be generated similarly. For 16, we get ( 16^2 = 256 ) and ( 16 + 1 = 17 ). For 5, we get ( 5^2 = 25 ) and ( 5 + 1 = 6 ). For 9, we get ( 9^2 = 81 ) and ( 9 + 1 = 10 ). For 4, we get ( 4^2 = 16 ) and ( 4 + 1 = 5 ). So, the fourth row is [256, 17, 25, 6, 81, 10, 16, 5].Looking at these rows, I notice that in each row, the numbers seem to be unique. For example, in the second row, 4 and 3 are different. In the third row, 16, 5, 9, and 4 are all different. In the fourth row, 256, 17, 25, 6, 81, 10, 16, and 5 are all different. So, the pattern holds for these initial rows.But I need to prove that this is always the case, not just for the first few rows. So, how can I approach this? Maybe by induction? Let me think.Base case: The first row has only one number, so trivially, all numbers are different.Inductive step: Assume that in row ( n ), all numbers are different. Then, I need to show that in row ( n + 1 ), all numbers are different.But wait, how is row ( n + 1 ) generated? Each number in row ( n ) generates two numbers in row ( n + 1 ): one is the square of the number, and the other is the number plus one. So, if all numbers in row ( n ) are different, does that guarantee that all numbers in row ( n + 1 ) are different?Not necessarily, because it's possible that two different numbers in row ( n ) could generate the same number in row ( n + 1 ). For example, suppose in row ( n ), we have two numbers ( k ) and ( m ) such that ( k^2 = m + 1 ). Then, in row ( n + 1 ), both ( k ) and ( m ) would generate the same number ( k^2 = m + 1 ), leading to duplication.So, to ensure that all numbers in row ( n + 1 ) are different, I need to show that for any two numbers ( k ) and ( m ) in row ( n ), ( k^2 neq m + 1 ) and ( k + 1 neq m^2 ). Wait, actually, there are more possibilities because each number can generate two numbers, so I need to consider all possible pairs.This seems complicated. Maybe I need a different approach. Let's think about the properties of the numbers generated.If I start with ( a > 1 ), then all numbers generated will be natural numbers greater than 1. Now, if I consider the operations: squaring a number and adding one. Squaring tends to produce much larger numbers compared to adding one. So, perhaps the numbers generated by squaring are always larger than the numbers generated by adding one, ensuring that they don't overlap.Wait, is that true? Let's see. If I have a number ( k ), then ( k^2 ) is definitely larger than ( k + 1 ) for ( k > 1 ). Because ( k^2 - (k + 1) = k^2 - k - 1 ), which is positive for ( k > 1 ). So, ( k^2 > k + 1 ) for all ( k > 1 ).That's a useful observation. So, in any row, the numbers generated by squaring will always be larger than the numbers generated by adding one. Therefore, the numbers on the left side of each parent number are larger than the numbers on the right side.But does this prevent duplication? Not entirely, because different parent numbers could still generate the same number through different operations. For example, maybe one parent number squared equals another parent number plus one.But earlier, I saw that ( k^2 > k + 1 ) for ( k > 1 ). So, if ( k^2 = m + 1 ), then ( m = k^2 - 1 ). But since ( k > 1 ), ( m ) would be significantly larger than ( k ). However, in the same row, numbers are generated from the previous row, so ( m ) would have to be in the previous row. But if ( m = k^2 - 1 ), and ( k ) is in the previous row, then ( m ) is larger than ( k ), but in the same row, numbers are generated from the previous row, so ( m ) would have to be in the previous row, but ( m ) is larger than ( k ), which was already in the previous row. This seems contradictory because in the previous row, numbers are generated from the row before that, and so on.Wait, maybe I'm getting confused. Let me try to formalize this.Suppose, for contradiction, that in some row ( n ), there are two numbers ( p ) and ( q ) such that ( p = q ). Then, these numbers must have been generated from different parent numbers in row ( n - 1 ). Let's say ( p = r^2 ) and ( q = s + 1 ) for some ( r, s ) in row ( n - 1 ). So, ( r^2 = s + 1 ).But since ( r ) and ( s ) are in row ( n - 1 ), which is generated from row ( n - 2 ), and so on, back to the initial number ( a ). Now, if ( r^2 = s + 1 ), then ( s = r^2 - 1 ). But ( s ) is in row ( n - 1 ), which is generated from row ( n - 2 ). So, ( s ) must have been generated either by squaring or adding one from some number in row ( n - 2 ).If ( s = r^2 - 1 ), then ( s ) is one less than a square. But how was ( s ) generated? If ( s ) was generated by squaring, then ( s = t^2 ) for some ( t ) in row ( n - 2 ). But then ( t^2 = r^2 - 1 ), which would imply ( t^2 + 1 = r^2 ). This is only possible if ( t = 0 ) and ( r = 1 ), but ( a > 1 ), so this is impossible.Alternatively, if ( s ) was generated by adding one, then ( s = u + 1 ) for some ( u ) in row ( n - 2 ). So, ( u + 1 = r^2 - 1 ), which implies ( u = r^2 - 2 ). But then ( u ) must be in row ( n - 2 ), which is generated from row ( n - 3 ), and so on.This seems like an infinite regression unless ( r ) is such that ( r^2 - 2 ) is also in the previous row, which would require ( r^2 - 2 ) to be generated from the row before that, and so on, back to ( a ). But since ( a > 1 ), and each operation either squares or adds one, the numbers grow rapidly, making it unlikely that such a chain could exist without duplication.Wait, but I'm not sure if this is a rigorous argument. Maybe I need a different approach.Another idea: Consider the binary representation of the numbers. Each number in the table can be represented as a binary string where each bit represents whether we took the square or the addition operation at each step. For example, starting from ( a ), if we take the square, that's one path, and if we take the addition, that's another path. Each number in the table corresponds to a unique path from the root ( a ).If two numbers in the same row were equal, that would mean that two different paths from ( a ) lead to the same number. But since each operation (squaring or adding one) is deterministic and leads to a unique number, two different paths should lead to different numbers. Therefore, all numbers in each row must be unique.Wait, is that true? Let me think. If two different paths lead to the same number, that would mean that the operations are not injective. But squaring and adding one are both injective functions on natural numbers greater than 1. So, if two different paths lead to the same number, that would imply that the composition of these injective functions is not injective, which is possible.But in our case, each number is generated by a unique combination of squaring and adding one operations. So, maybe the numbers are unique because the paths are unique.Alternatively, maybe we can assign a unique identifier or a unique prime factorization to each number based on the path taken. For example, assign a prime number to each operation, and then the number in the table can be represented as a product of primes corresponding to the operations taken. Since prime factorizations are unique, this would ensure that each number is unique.But I'm not sure if this is necessary. Maybe there's a simpler way.Another approach: Observe that the numbers generated by squaring grow much faster than the numbers generated by adding one. So, in any row, the numbers generated by squaring will be much larger than the numbers generated by adding one. Therefore, the numbers on the left side of each parent number are larger than the numbers on the right side, and since the left side numbers are all larger than the right side numbers, they cannot overlap with the right side numbers.But wait, this only ensures that numbers generated by squaring don't overlap with numbers generated by adding one in the same row. It doesn't prevent two numbers generated by squaring from being equal or two numbers generated by adding one from being equal.So, I need to ensure that within the numbers generated by squaring, they are all unique, and within the numbers generated by adding one, they are all unique.But if all numbers in the previous row are unique, then squaring them will also result in unique numbers, and adding one to them will also result in unique numbers. So, if the previous row has unique numbers, then the next row will have unique numbers generated by squaring and unique numbers generated by adding one. However, we still need to ensure that the numbers generated by squaring don't overlap with the numbers generated by adding one.Wait, but earlier I observed that ( k^2 > k + 1 ) for ( k > 1 ). So, all numbers generated by squaring are larger than all numbers generated by adding one. Therefore, the numbers generated by squaring and the numbers generated by adding one are disjoint sets. Hence, if both sets are individually unique, then their union is also unique.So, if in row ( n ), all numbers are unique, then in row ( n + 1 ), the numbers generated by squaring are unique and larger than the numbers generated by adding one, which are also unique. Therefore, all numbers in row ( n + 1 ) are unique.This seems like a valid inductive step. So, if I can show that the base case holds and the inductive step holds, then by induction, all rows have unique numbers.Base case: The first row has only one number, so it's trivially unique.Inductive step: Assume that in row ( n ), all numbers are unique. Then, in row ( n + 1 ), the numbers generated by squaring are unique because squaring is injective on natural numbers greater than 1, and the numbers generated by adding one are unique because adding one is injective. Furthermore, since ( k^2 > k + 1 ) for all ( k > 1 ), the sets of numbers generated by squaring and adding one are disjoint. Therefore, all numbers in row ( n + 1 ) are unique.Thus, by induction, all rows have unique numbers.Wait, but I need to make sure that the numbers generated by squaring are indeed unique and don't overlap with each other, and similarly for the numbers generated by adding one.Since squaring is injective, if all numbers in row ( n ) are unique, then their squares in row ( n + 1 ) are also unique. Similarly, adding one is injective, so the numbers generated by adding one are unique. Therefore, the union of these two sets is unique because they are disjoint.Yes, this seems correct. So, the key points are:1. Squaring and adding one are injective operations on natural numbers greater than 1.2. The numbers generated by squaring are always larger than the numbers generated by adding one in the same row.3. Therefore, the sets of numbers generated by squaring and adding one are disjoint and both contain unique numbers.Hence, by induction, all rows have unique numbers.I think this should be a solid proof. Maybe I should write it more formally.

answer：Alright, so I have this problem where there are three points on a parabola, and I need to figure out the relationship between their y-values. The parabola is given by the equation y = -x² + 2x + m. The points are A(-1, y₁), B(1, y₂), and C(2, y₃). I need to determine which of the options A, B, C, or D correctly represents the relationship between y₁, y₂, and y₃.First, I remember that the general form of a parabola is y = ax² + bx + c. In this case, the equation is y = -x² + 2x + m. So, a = -1, b = 2, and c = m. Since the coefficient of x² is negative (-1), the parabola opens downward. That means it has a maximum point at its vertex.Next, I need to find the vertex of this parabola because that will help me understand where the highest point is, and then I can compare the other points relative to it. The x-coordinate of the vertex of a parabola given by y = ax² + bx + c is found using the formula x = -b/(2a). Plugging in the values from our equation, x = -2/(2*(-1)) = -2/(-2) = 1. So, the x-coordinate of the vertex is 1. To find the y-coordinate of the vertex, I substitute x = 1 back into the equation: y = -(1)² + 2*(1) + m = -1 + 2 + m = 1 + m. So, the vertex is at (1, 1 + m). That means point B(1, y₂) is actually the vertex of the parabola, and y₂ = 1 + m.Since the parabola opens downward, the vertex is the highest point on the graph. Therefore, y₂ is the maximum y-value among the three points. So, y₂ is greater than both y₁ and y₃.Now, I need to figure out the relationship between y₁ and y₃. Points A and C are on either side of the vertex. Point A is at x = -1, and point C is at x = 2. I can calculate the y-values for these points by plugging their x-coordinates into the equation.Starting with point A(-1, y₁):y₁ = -(-1)² + 2*(-1) + m = -1 - 2 + m = -3 + m.For point C(2, y₃):y₃ = -(2)² + 2*(2) + m = -4 + 4 + m = 0 + m = m.So, y₁ = -3 + m and y₃ = m. Comparing these two, since m is a constant, y₁ is definitely less than y₃ because y₁ is m minus 3, and y₃ is just m.Putting it all together, we have y₁ < y₃ < y₂. That means y₁ is the smallest, followed by y₃, and y₂ is the largest.Looking back at the options provided:A: y₃ < y₂ < y₁B: y₂ < y₃ < y₁C: y₃ < y₁ < y₂D: y₁ < y₃ < y₂The correct relationship is y₁ < y₃ < y₂, which corresponds to option D.I think I did everything correctly. I found the vertex, calculated the y-values for each point, and compared them. It makes sense because the parabola opens downward, so the vertex is the highest point, and as we move away from the vertex on either side, the y-values decrease. Since point A is further away from the vertex than point C, its y-value is lower. Wait, hold on, point A is at x = -1, and point C is at x = 2. The distance from the vertex at x = 1 is 2 units for point A and 1 unit for point C. So, point A is further away, which means its y-value should be lower than point C's y-value. That aligns with what I found earlier: y₁ < y₃ < y₂.Yeah, I think that's solid. So, the answer should be D.

answer：First, I need to determine the percentage of students who answered both questions correctly. I know that 80% answered the first question correctly and 55% answered the second question correctly. Additionally, 55% of the students answered neither question correctly.To find the percentage of students who answered at least one question correctly, I subtract the percentage who answered neither from the total, which gives me 45%.Using the principle of inclusion-exclusion, I can set up the equation:45% = 80% + 55% - BothSolving for Both:Both = 80% + 55% - 45%Both = 90%Therefore, 90% of the students answered both questions correctly.
