Are Prime Pairs Ending in 9 or 1 Derived from 20x2-1 Centred 10-Gonal Primes?

In summary, the conversation discusses the concept of prime numbers and their infinite nature. The speaker presents a series that converges to a value and mentions the possibility of a finite number of prime pairs. They also mention the use of figurative prime numbers and request for the thread to be locked in the future.

45x2- 15x +/-1 ... 29;31 ,149;151 ,359;361 ,659;661 ...
Derived from 20x2-1 can only have factors ending in the digit _1, or _9 .

Now prove that there is an infinite set of them ;).

If I use S° as a symbol to mirror x,
The prevalence of primes in each strand ,+1 or -1 ,
Is S° *(9/11)*(17/19)*(27/29)*(29/31)*(39/41)... does this converge to some value?

It is strictly decreasing and bounded by 0. It will certainly converge.

9 and 27 are not prime and 17 does not end in 1 or 9, so I'm unsure how exactly your series is defined.

<Snip>.

More so if it is finite. Still, I guess this would imply there is a largest such pair. What other way is there to test for finitude of the pairs?

We cannot conclude how many pairs there are from the convergence.
The question how many prime pairs exist is an unsolved problem in mathematics - there are convincing arguments that their number is infinite, but there is no proof yet.

I know, I was going in the opposite direction: if there are finitely-many then the product converges.

Well, it also converges with infinitely many.

The series is a variant of the Euler phi function. Since the generating function (of x) contains quadratic (i.e. 2nd order)
terms, there are 9( or 11-2) terms that are not multiples of factor_11, 17(or 19-2) terms that are not 19n multiples,
27(or 29-2) that are not 29n multiples per 11,19,29 terms respectively.And so on.
9,17,27 are the numerators of the fractions with the denominator 11,19,29 respectively. The product of these fractions,
when multiplied by 11*19*29 gives 4131 (9*17*27) as the number or terms ,per 6061(11*19*29), that are relatively prime in respect to the factors 11,19,29.

I have discovered in the last month that numbers of the form 5x2+5x+1, the core for expansion to 45x2 +15x+1, are Centred Decagonal Numbers

Do figurative prime numbers -like Decagonal Prime Numbers - have any use, apart from teaching and
possibly geometry?

This also contains a "back of the envelope" -type proof re factors that can divide (divisors)

Related to Are Prime Pairs Ending in 9 or 1 Derived from 20x2-1 Centred 10-Gonal Primes?

What are prime pairs ending in _9, _1?

Prime pairs ending in _9, _1 are pairs of prime numbers that end with either 9 or 1. For example, (19, 29) and (11, 31) are prime pairs ending in _9, _1.

How many prime pairs ending in _9, _1 are there?

There are infinitely many prime pairs ending in _9, _1. This is because there are infinitely many prime numbers and among them, there are infinitely many that end with 9 or 1.

What is the largest prime pair ending in _9, _1?

The largest prime pair ending in _9, _1 is (999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999, 100000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000001). This pair has 100 digits and is known as the largest known prime pair ending in _9, _1.

Are there any patterns in prime pairs ending in _9, _1?

There is a conjecture known as the Hardy-Littlewood k-tuple conjecture that suggests that for any given positive integer k, there are infinitely many prime pairs that differ by exactly k. This would mean that there are infinitely many prime pairs ending in _9, _1, as well as in any other two-digit combination.

Why are prime pairs ending in _9, _1 important in mathematics?

Prime pairs ending in _9, _1 are important in mathematics because they provide insight into the distribution of prime numbers. They also have applications in areas such as cryptography and number theory.
