The sequence of natural numbers is based on the following rule: each term, starting with the second, is obtained from the previous addition works of all its various simple divisors (for example, after the number $12$ should be the number $18$, and after the number $125$ , the number $130$).
Prove that any two sequences constructed in this way have a common member.

For the Dürer final results announcement, four loudspeakers are used to provide sound in the hall. However, there are only two sockets in the wall from which the power comes. To solve the problem, Ádám got two extension cords and two power strips. One plug can be plugged into an extension cord, and two plugs can be plugged into a power strip. Gábor, in his haste before the announcement of the results, quickly plugs the $8$ plugs into the $8$ holes. Every possible way of plugging has the same probability, and it is also possible for Gábor to plug something into itself. What is the probability that all $4$ speakers will have sound at the results announcement? For the solution, give the sum of the numerator and the denominator in the simplified form of the probability. A speaker sounds when it is plugged directly or indirectly into the wall.

The functions $f,g:[0,1]\to\mathbb R$ are given with the formulas
$$f(x)=\sqrt[4]{1-x},\enspace g(x)=f(f(x)),$$
and $c$ denotes any solution of $x=f(x)$.
(a) i. Analyze the function $f(x)$ and draw its graph. Prove that the equation $f(x)=x$ has the unique root $c$ satisfying $c\in[0.72,0.73]$.
ii. Analyze the function $f'(x)$. Let $M_1$ and $M_2$ be the points of the graph of $f(x)$ with different $x$ coordinates. What is the position of the arc $M_1M_2$ of the graph with respect to the segment $M_1M_2$?
iii. Analyze the function $g(x)$ and draw its graph. What is the position of that graph with respect to the line $y=x$? Find the tangents to the graph at points with $x$ coordinates $0$ and $1$.
iv. Prove that every sequence $\{a_n\}$ with the conditions $a_1\in(0,1)$ and
$a_{n+1}=f(a_n)$ for $n\in\mathbb N$ converges.
[hide=Official Hint]Consider the sequences $\{a_{2n-1}\},\{a_{2n}\}~(n\in\mathbb N)$ and the function $g(x)$ associated with the graph.[/hide]
(b) On the graph of the function $f(x)$ consider the points $M$ and $M'$ with $x$ coordinates $x$ and $f(x)$, where $x\ne c$.
i. Prove that the line $MM'$ intersects with the line $y=x$ at the point with $x$ coordinate
$$h(x)=x-\frac{(f(x)-x)^2}{g(x)+x-2f(x)}.$$
ii. Prove that if $x\in(0,c)$ then $h(x)\in(x,c)$.
iii. Analyze whether the sequence $\{a_n\}$ satisfying $a_1\in(0,c),a_{n+1}=h(a_n)$ for $n\in\mathbb N$ converges. Prove that the sequence $\{\tfrac{a_{n+1}-c}{a_n-c}\}$ converges and find its limit.
(c) Assume that the calculator approximates every number $b\in[-2,2]$ by number $\overline b$ having $p$ decimal digits after the decimal point. We are performing the following sequence of operations on that calculator:
1) Set $a=0.72$;
2) Calculate $\delta(a)=\overline{f(a)}-a$;
3) If $|\delta(a)|>0.5\cdot10^{-p}$, then calculate $\overline{h(a)}$ and go to the operation $2)$ using $\overline{h(a)}$ instead of $a$;
4) If $|\delta(a)|\le0.5\cdot10^{-p}$, finish the calculation.
Let $\overleftrightarrow c$ be the last of calculated values for $\overline{h(a)}$. Assuming that for each $x\in[0.72,0.73]$ we have $\left|\overline{f(x)}-f(x)\right|<\epsilon$, determine $\delta(\overleftrightarrow c)$, the accuracy (depending on $\epsilon$) of the approximation of $c$ with $\overleftrightarrow c$.
(d) Assume that the sequence $\{a_n\}$ satisfies $a_1=0.72$ and $a_{n+1}=f(a_n)$ for $n\in\mathbb N$. Find the smallest $n_0\in\mathbb N$, such that for every $n\ge n_0$ we have $|a_n-c|<10^{-6}$.
