Determine all prime numbers \(p\) and \(q\) such that \(p^2 - 2q^2 = 1\) holds.
Suppose that there are 15 prime numbers forming an arithmetic progression with a difference of \(d\). Prove that \(d >30,000\).
Could it be that a) \(\sigma(n) > 3n\); b) \(\sigma(n) > 100n\)?
Prove that for a real positive \(\alpha\) and a positive integer \(d\), \(\lfloor \alpha / d\rfloor = \lfloor \lfloor \alpha\rfloor / d\rfloor\) is always satisfied.
Prove that if \(p\) is a prime number and \(1 \leq k \leq p - 1\), then \(\binom{p}{k}\) is divisible by \(p\).
Prove that in any infinite decimal fraction you can rearrange the numbers so that the resulting fraction becomes a rational number.
Prove that there are infinitely many composite numbers among the numbers \(\lfloor 2^k \sqrt{2}\rfloor\) (\(k = 0, 1, \dots\)).
Prove the irrationality of the following numbers:
a) \(\sqrt{3}{17}\)
b) \(\sqrt{2} + \sqrt{3}\)
c) \(\sqrt{2} + \sqrt{3} + \sqrt{5}\)
d) \(\sqrt{3}{3} - \sqrt{2}\)
e) \(\cos 10^{\circ}\)
f) \(\tan 10^{\circ}\)
g) \(\sin 1^{\circ}\)
h) \(\log_{2}3\)

a) the sum of two rational numbers irrational?
b) the sum of two irrational numbers rational?
c) an irrational number with an irrational degree to be rational?
One of the roots of the equation \(x^2 + ax + b = 0\) is \(1 + \sqrt 3\). Find \(a\) and \(b\) if you know that they are rational.
