Infinite or not?

A ( b ( C X 1 ) 1 ) 1 A ( b ( C Y 1 ) 1 ) 1 \dfrac{A^{(b^{(C^{X} - 1) }-1) }-1}{A^{(b^{(C^{Y} - 1) }-1) }-1} = Positive Integer

  • X \ne Y

  • All The Numbers here are positive integers

The Question is \text{The Question is}

  • ( X , Y ) \displaystyle\sum_{(X, Y) } ( 1 2 x + y \frac{1}{2^{x+y}} ) = ? \color{#69047E}{?}

  • (X, Y) is the all possible solutions

  • If it is infinite submite -1


The answer is 0.5.

2 solutions

For Y = 1 , b = C = 2 Y=1,b=C=2 , the denominator becomes A 1 A-1 , and X X can assume any positive integer value. Hence the given sum equals 1 2 2 + 1 2 3 + 1 2 4 + . . . \frac {1}{2^2}+\frac{1}{2^3}+\frac{1}{2^4}+...

= 1 4 × 1 1 1 2 = 1 2 = 0.5 =\dfrac 14\times \dfrac {1}{1-\frac 12}=\dfrac 12=\boxed {0.5} .

I am sorry but this solution is totaly wrong because the denominator is A-1 but nenominator can be not divisble by A-1 so you put numbers that is not solution

A n 1 A^n-1 is always divisible by A 1 A-1 for integral n n , and n = b ( C X 1 ) 1 n=b^{(C^X-1)}-1 is an integer since b , C , X b, C, X are integers.

You can try to fix it or delete it and thank you♥️

But you did not include the solutions that have Y=2,3,4 you only did the solution that have Y=1

And also the solutions should work for every constant A, B, C not only when B=C=2

Lets say that A α \alpha B Means that when A is an integer then B is Integer, and when A is not integer then B is not, A Can equal B and not equal (got it?)

  • A x 1 A y 1 α x y \boxed{\frac{A^x - 1}{A^y - 1} \alpha \frac{x}{y}} New math😂(if you want the prove i can write it)

So : A ( b ( C X 1 ) 1 ) 1 A ( b ( C Y 1 ) 1 ) 1 \dfrac{A^{(b^{(C^{X} - 1) }-1) }-1}{A^{(b^{(C^{Y} - 1) }-1) }-1} α \alpha b ( C X 1 ) 1 ) ( b ( C Y 1 ) 1 ) \dfrac{b^{(C^{X} - 1) }-1) }{(b^{(C^{Y} - 1) }-1) } α \alpha C X 1 C Y 1 \dfrac{C^{X} - 1}{C^{Y} - 1 } α \alpha x y \dfrac{x}{y}

A ( b ( C X 1 ) 1 ) 1 A ( b ( C Y 1 ) 1 ) 1 \dfrac{A^{(b^{(C^{X} - 1) }-1) }-1}{A^{(b^{(C^{Y} - 1) }-1) }-1} α \alpha x y \dfrac{x}{y}

Lets assuming that X=k×Y because this makes X Y \frac{X}{Y} = k × Y Y \frac{k×Y}{Y} = k (k is integer 2,3,4....)

K \ne 1 because that makes X=Y and we know that X \ne Y

So : X+Y=(k+1)Y (k=2,3,4,5....) Changing (k+1) to n which they = 3,4,5,6... ( Only For make the expression easier)

X+Y=n×Y (Y can be 1,2,3,4,5,6....) (n=3,4,5,6...)

So - ( X , Y ) \displaystyle\sum_{(X, Y) } 1 2 x + y \frac{1}{2^{x+y}} = 1 2 1 × 3 \frac{1}{2^{1×3}} + 1 2 1 × 4 \frac{1}{2^{1×4}} + 1 2 1 × 5 \frac{1}{2^{1×5}} ..... + 1 2 2 × 3 \frac{1}{2^{2×3}} + 1 2 2 × 4 \frac{1}{2^{2×4}} + 1 2 2 × 5 \frac{1}{2^{2×5}} ...... + 1 2 3 × 3 \frac{1}{2^{3×3}} + 1 2 3 × 4 \frac{1}{2^{3×4}} + 1 2 3 × 5 \frac{1}{2^{3×5}} .........= Y = 1 \displaystyle\sum_{Y=1}^{\infty} n = 3 1 2 n Y \displaystyle\sum_{n=3}^{\infty} \frac{1}{2^{nY}}

Y = 1 \displaystyle\sum_{Y=1}^{\infty} n = 3 1 2 n Y \displaystyle\sum_{n=3}^{\infty} \frac{1}{2^{nY}} = Y = 1 \displaystyle\sum_{Y=1}^{\infty} n = 3 \displaystyle\sum_{n=3}^{\infty} ( 1 2 Y ) n (\frac{1}{2^{Y} })^{n} = n = 3 1 2 n 1 \displaystyle\sum_{n=3}^{\infty} \frac{1}{2^n-1}

THAT MEANS : ( X , Y ) \displaystyle\sum_{(X, Y) } 1 2 x + y \frac{1}{2^{x+y}} = n = 3 1 2 n 1 \displaystyle\sum_{n=3}^{\infty} \frac{1}{2^n-1} \approx . 27 \boxed{.27}

3rd last line is wrong, you can't split up the sum like that. Calculating the correct value exactly requires more complicated maths, but you can verify on a computer that the answer should be 0.27336, not 0.5. Mathematica code: N[Sum[Sum[1/2^(n*Y), {n, 3, Infinity}], {Y, 1, Infinity}]]
