Two Social Security numbers match zeros if a digit of one number is zero if the corresponding digit of the other is also zero. In other words, the zeros in the two numbers appear in exactly the same positions. For example, the Social Security numbers 120-90-1109 and 430-20-5402 have matching zeros. Prove: Given a collection

The integers 1 through 25 are arranged in a 5 x 5 array (we use each number from 1 to 25 exactly once). All that matters is which numbers are in each column and how they are arranged in the columns. It do

For any x > 0, we have lim n-->infinity of x^1/n = 1 Hint: Treat cases x >= 1 and x < 1 separately. You might wish to first use the following to prove the preliminary result that for every epsilon > 0, and every real number M > 0, there exists an n such that M^1/n <= 1+epsilson: "Let x be a real number. Then the limit lim
