- [ 10 ] If p and q are positive integers and < < , what is the minimum value of p ? 2009 q 2010 Answer: 4017 By multiplying out the fraction inequalities, we find that 2008 q + 1 ≤ 2009 p and 2010 p + ≤ 2009 q . Adding 2009 times the first inequality to 2008 times the second, we find that p 4017 2008 · 2009 q + 4017 ≤ 2008 · 2009 q + p , or p ≥ 4017. This minumum is attained when = . q 4019 17
