N 5 hours ago by elizhang101412
How many nonnegative integers can be written in the form
\[
a_7 \cdot 3^7 + a_6 \cdot 3^6 + a_5 \cdot 3^5 + a_4 \cdot 3^4 + a_3 \cdot 3^3 + a_2 \cdot 3^2 + a_1 \cdot 3^1 + a_0 \cdot 3^0
\]where \( a_i \in \{-1, 0, 1\} \) for \( 0 \le i \le 7 \)?

Let $f(x)$ be a polynomial with integer coefficients such that $f(0)=2020$ and $f(a)=2021$ for some integer $a$. Prove that there exists no integer $b$ such that $f(b) = 2022$.

Define a sequence as $a_1=x$ for some real number $x$ and \[ a_n=na_{n-1}+(n-1)(n!(n-1)!-1) \]for integers $n \geq 2$. Given that $a_{2021} =(2021!+1)^2 +2020!$, and given that $x=\dfrac{p}{q}$, where $p$ and $q$ are positive integers whose greatest common divisor is $1$, compute $p+q.$
