Question

Ronny's confidence level (C) is 0. He has a series of K exercises each of which increases Ronny's confidence by P[K] units (where P[K] is a set of K prime numbers). Ronny practices exactly 1 exercise each day. Find the minimum number of days it will take for his confidence level to reach exactly to D.

Answer 1

To determine the minimum number of days for Ronny to reach a confidence level D using prime number increments, sum the smallest primes until reaching or surpassing D and count the primes used.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question pertains to a scenario where Ronny is performing exercises that increase his confidence level by units corresponding to prime numbers. To find the minimum number of days for his confidence level to reach exactly to a desired level (D), we need to calculate the sum of the smallest primes in the set P[K] that add up to at least D, and then count the number of primes used. This is assuming that the primes in P[K] are distinct and can only be used once each day.

The process begins with Ronny at a confidence level of 0. With each passing day, we add the next smallest prime number from the set P[K] to the total until the sum equals or exceeds D. The minimum number of days required is equal to the count of the primes summed during this process.
