Problem 2

For a positive integer kk, call an integer a pure kk-th power if it is mkm^k for some integer mm. Show that for every positive integer nn there exist nn distinct positive integers whose sum is a pure 20092009-th power and whose product is a pure 20102010-th power.
Step 1 of 7: Set the exponent
k=2009k=2009
Detailed analysis

Set k=2009k=2009, so k+1=2010k+1=2010.
