Problem 7 (8 points)
n straight lines that moved, each parallel to itself with speeds
constants (each with its own speed). Additionally, the lines could not
reverse its direction. Some original states disappeared (one state
it disappears if and only if its area becomes zero) and over time
other states could emerge.
At a certain moment, the heads of the existing states agreed to end
the war and created a United Nations Organization and all the borders
they stopped moving. The UN counted the total number of states that were
destroyed and the existing ones and obtained a total of k.
Prove that Can equality be achieved?
