Choosing a subset of a set based on the sum of its elements
How can we choose a subset of a set based on the sum of the elements of the subset?
For instance,
n=6
dn=Divisors[n]
sn=DivisorSum[n,#&]
Is it possible to ...

Help me plot this function [closed]
f[k] = -(1/2)^k - ((1/4) (1 - sqrt[5]))^k/sqrt[5] + ((1/4) (1 + sqrt[5]))^k/sqrt[5]
(and also f[k] = 0 when k = 1,2)
I need to make a lineplot of this function in k = 3,4,5,... ,20.
why this does not ...

Show that all coefficients in a recursively defined function are integers
Problem 2 in the 2017 Putnam exam is:
Let $Q_0(x) = 1$, $Q_1(x) = x$, and $Q_n(x) = \frac{Q_{n-1}^2(x) - 1}{Q_{n-2}(x)}$.
Show that $Q_n(x) \in \mathbb{Z}[x]\ \forall n \geq 0$.
(Recall that $\mathbb{...

Solving an equation over the integers
Consider the problem of finding all values of $n \in \mathbb{N}$ s.t. $$\sqrt{n} + \sqrt{n + 2005}$$
is an integer.
One can easily verify that $n = 1,004,004$ and $39,204$ satisfy this requirement, ...
