Two different points, CC and D,D, lie on the same side of line ABAB so that ABC\triangle ABC and BAD\triangle BAD are congruent with AB=9,AB = 9, BC=AD=10,BC = AD = 10, and CA=DB=17.CA = DB = 17. The intersection of these two triangular regions has area mn,\frac{m}{n}, where mm and nn are relatively prime positive integers. Find m+n.m + n.

Answer: 59
Concepts:coordinate geometrycongruence (geometry)triangle area

Difficulty rating: 2220

Solution:

Place A=(0,0)A = (0, 0) and B=(9,0).B = (9, 0). From CA=17CA = 17 and BC=10,BC = 10, solving x2+y2=289x^2 + y^2 = 289 and (x9)2+y2=100(x - 9)^2 + y^2 = 100 gives C=(15,8).C = (15, 8). The congruence ABCBAD\triangle ABC \cong \triangle BAD swaps AA and B,B, so DD is the reflection of CC across the line x=92,x = \frac{9}{2}, namely D=(6,8).D = (-6, 8).

A point lies in triangle ABCABC exactly when it is on or above AB,\overline{AB}, on BB's side of line AC,AC, and on AA's side of line BC;BC; similarly for triangle BAD.BAD. In the overlap the binding constraints are y0,y \ge 0, line AC,AC, and line BD,BD, so the intersection is the triangle with base AB\overline{AB} and apex E=ACBD.E = AC \cap BD. Line ACAC is y=8x15y = \frac{8x}{15} and line BDBD is y=8(x9)15,y = -\frac{8(x - 9)}{15}, which meet at E=(92,125).E = \left(\frac{9}{2}, \frac{12}{5}\right).

The area is 129125=545,\frac{1}{2} \cdot 9 \cdot \frac{12}{5} = \frac{54}{5}, so m+n=54+5=59.m + n = 54 + 5 = 59.

Lily pads 1,2,3,1, 2, 3, \ldots lie in a row on a pond. A frog makes a sequence of jumps starting on pad 1.1. From any pad kk the frog jumps to either pad k+1k + 1 or pad k+2k + 2 chosen randomly with probability 12\frac{1}{2} and independently of other jumps. The probability that the frog visits pad 77 is pq,\frac{p}{q}, where pp and qq are relatively prime positive integers. Find p+q.p + q.

Answer: 107

Difficulty rating: 2270

Solution:

Let pkp_k be the probability that the frog visits pad k.k. The frog lands on pad kk in exactly one of two disjoint ways: it visits pad k1k - 1 and jumps +1+1 from there (if it jumps +2,+2, pad kk is skipped forever), or it skips pad k1k - 1 entirely, which requires visiting pad k2k - 2 and jumping +2+2 from it, landing on pad k.k. Hence pk=12pk1+12pk2,p1=1,p2=12.p_k = \tfrac{1}{2}p_{k-1} + \tfrac{1}{2}p_{k-2}, \qquad p_1 = 1, \quad p_2 = \tfrac{1}{2}.

Iterating: p3=34,p_3 = \frac{3}{4}, p4=58,p_4 = \frac{5}{8}, p5=1116,p_5 = \frac{11}{16}, p6=2132,p_6 = \frac{21}{32}, and p7=4364.p_7 = \frac{43}{64}. Since gcd(43,64)=1,\gcd(43, 64) = 1, the answer is 43+64=107.43 + 64 = 107.

Find the number of 77-tuples of positive integers (a,b,c,d,e,f,g)(a, b, c, d, e, f, g) that satisfy the following system of equations: abc=70,abc = 70, cde=71,cde = 71, efg=72.efg = 72.

Answer: 96

Difficulty rating: 1950

Solution:

Since 7171 is prime, in cde=71cde = 71 one of the three factors is 7171 and the other two equal 1.1. But cc divides abc=70abc = 70 and ee divides efg=72,efg = 72, and 7171 divides neither 7070 nor 72.72. So c=e=1c = e = 1 and d=71.d = 71.

The system reduces to ab=70ab = 70 and fg=72.fg = 72. Each divisor aa of 7070 determines b,b, giving τ(70)=8\tau(70) = 8 ordered pairs, and likewise τ(72)=12\tau(72) = 12 ordered pairs (f,g).(f, g). The total is 812=96.8 \cdot 12 = 96.

A standard six-sided fair die is rolled four times. The probability that the product of all four numbers rolled is a perfect square is mn,\frac{m}{n}, where mm and nn are relatively prime positive integers. Find m+n.m + n.

Answer: 187

Difficulty rating: 2480

Solution:

The product is a perfect square exactly when each of the primes 2,2, 3,3, and 55 appears with even exponent. Only a roll of 55 contributes the prime 5,5, so the number of 55s is even: 0,0, 2,2, or 4.4. Classify the other values by the parities of their exponents of 22 and 3:3: rolls of 11 and 44 contribute (0,0),(0, 0), a 22 contributes (1,0),(1, 0), a 33 contributes (0,1),(0, 1), and a 66 contributes (1,1).(1, 1). The exponent of 22 is even iff the count of 22s plus the count of 66s is even, and similarly for 33s and 66s, so a collection of non-55 rolls works exactly when the counts of 22s, 33s, and 66s are all even or all odd.

With no 55s, all four rolls come from {1,2,3,4,6}.\{1, 2, 3, 4, 6\}. All-even cases: no 22s, 33s, or 66s gives 24=162^4 = 16 sequences (each roll is 11 or 44); exactly two of a single kind gives 34!2!2!22=72;3 \cdot \frac{4!}{2!\,2!} \cdot 2^2 = 72; two of each of two kinds gives 34!2!2!=18;3 \cdot \frac{4!}{2!\,2!} = 18; four of one kind gives 3.3. All-odd case: one 2,2, one 3,3, one 6,6, and one roll from {1,4}\{1, 4\} gives 4!2=48.4! \cdot 2 = 48. Subtotal 16+72+18+3+48=157.16 + 72 + 18 + 3 + 48 = 157. With two 55s, choose their positions in (42)=6\binom{4}{2} = 6 ways; the other two rolls must lie in the same parity class, giving 22+1+1+1=72^2 + 1 + 1 + 1 = 7 ordered pairs, for 4242 sequences. With four 55s there is 11 sequence.

In total 157+42+1=200157 + 42 + 1 = 200 of the 64=12966^4 = 1296 sequences work, so the probability is 2001296=25162,\frac{200}{1296} = \frac{25}{162}, and m+n=25+162=187.m + n = 25 + 162 = 187.

5.

Four ambassadors and one advisor for each of them are to be seated at a round table with 1212 chairs numbered in order 11 to 12.12. Each ambassador must sit in an even-numbered chair. Each advisor must sit in a chair adjacent to his or her ambassador. There are NN ways for the 88 people to be seated at the table under these conditions. Find the remainder when NN is divided by 1000.1000.

Answer: 520
Solution:

The six even chairs form a cycle (chair 1212 is adjacent to chair 11), and each odd chair lies between two consecutive even chairs. The ambassadors occupy 44 of the 66 even chairs, and each advisor must take one of the two odd chairs flanking their ambassador, with all choices distinct. For a maximal block of kk consecutive occupied even chairs, the kk occupants choose among the k+1k + 1 odd chairs touching the block; recording each choice as left or right, a conflict occurs exactly when someone picks right and their neighbor picks left, so the valid patterns are the strings of LLs followed by RRs: k+1k + 1 of them.

Now case on the two empty even chairs among the six positions. If they are adjacent (66 ways), the occupied chairs form one block of 4,4, giving 55 patterns. If they are separated by one chair (66 ways), the blocks have sizes 11 and 3,3, giving 24=82 \cdot 4 = 8 patterns. If they are opposite (33 ways), the blocks have sizes 22 and 2,2, giving 33=93 \cdot 3 = 9 patterns. The number of seat configurations is 65+68+39=105.6 \cdot 5 + 6 \cdot 8 + 3 \cdot 9 = 105.

Finally, the four ambassador-advisor pairs can be assigned to the four chosen even chairs in 4!=244! = 24 ways, so N=10524=2520,N = 105 \cdot 24 = 2520, and the remainder modulo 10001000 is 520.520.

In a Martian civilization, all logarithms whose bases are not specified are assumed to be base b,b, for some fixed b2.b \ge 2. A Martian student writes down 3log(xlogx)=563\log(\sqrt{x}\log x) = 56 loglogx(x)=54\log_{\log x}(x) = 54 and finds that this system of equations has a single real number solution x>1.x \gt 1. Find b.b.

Answer: 216

Difficulty rating: 2400

Solution:

Let y=logbx.y = \log_b x. By the change-of-base formula, loglogx(x)=logbxlogb(logbx)=ylogby=54,\log_{\log x}(x) = \frac{\log_b x}{\log_b(\log_b x)} = \frac{y}{\log_b y} = 54, so logby=y54.\log_b y = \frac{y}{54}. The first equation says 3(12logbx+logb(logbx))=56,3\left(\frac{1}{2}\log_b x + \log_b(\log_b x)\right) = 56, that is, y2+logby=563.\frac{y}{2} + \log_b y = \frac{56}{3}.

Substituting logby=y54\log_b y = \frac{y}{54} gives y2+y54=563,\frac{y}{2} + \frac{y}{54} = \frac{56}{3}, so 28y54=563\frac{28y}{54} = \frac{56}{3} and y=36.y = 36. Then logb36=3654=23,\log_b 36 = \frac{36}{54} = \frac{2}{3}, so b2/3=36b^{2/3} = 36 and b=363/2=216.b = 36^{3/2} = 216.

Triangle ABCABC has side lengths AB=120,AB = 120, BC=220,BC = 220, and AC=180.AC = 180. Lines A,\ell_A, B,\ell_B, and C\ell_C are drawn parallel to BC,\overline{BC}, AC,\overline{AC}, and AB,\overline{AB}, respectively, such that the intersections of A,\ell_A, B,\ell_B, and C\ell_C with the interior of ABC\triangle ABC are segments of lengths 55,55, 45,45, and 15,15, respectively. Find the perimeter of the triangle whose sides lie on lines A,\ell_A, B,\ell_B, and C.\ell_C.

Answer: 715

Difficulty rating: 2790

Solution:

For a point P,P, let α\alpha be the distance from PP to line BCBC divided by the length of the altitude from A,A, and define β\beta (to CACA) and γ\gamma (to ABAB) similarly; then α+β+γ=1\alpha + \beta + \gamma = 1 for points inside, since [PBC]+[PCA]+[PAB]=[ABC].[PBC] + [PCA] + [PAB] = [ABC]. A chord parallel to BC\overline{BC} at level α\alpha cuts off a triangle at AA similar to ABCABC with ratio 1α,1 - \alpha, so its length is 220(1α).220(1 - \alpha). The chord of length 5555 gives 1α=14,1 - \alpha = \frac{1}{4}, so A\ell_A is the line α=34;\alpha = \frac{3}{4}; similarly 45=180(1β)45 = 180(1 - \beta) puts B\ell_B at β=34,\beta = \frac{3}{4}, and 15=120(1γ)15 = 120(1 - \gamma) puts C\ell_C at γ=78.\gamma = \frac{7}{8}.

Along any line parallel to BC,\overline{BC}, the coordinate β\beta varies linearly, and on the chord at level α\alpha inside the triangle, β\beta runs over an interval of length 1α1 - \alpha while the chord has length 220(1α);220(1 - \alpha); hence a segment parallel to BC\overline{BC} with endpoints differing by Δβ\Delta\beta has length 220Δβ.220\,|\Delta\beta|. The side of the new triangle on A\ell_A runs from AB,\ell_A \cap \ell_B, where β=34,\beta = \frac{3}{4}, to AC,\ell_A \cap \ell_C, where β=13478=58.\beta = 1 - \frac{3}{4} - \frac{7}{8} = -\frac{5}{8}. Its length is 220(34+58)=220118.220\left(\frac{3}{4} + \frac{5}{8}\right) = 220 \cdot \frac{11}{8}.

Since the three lines are parallel to the sides of ABC,ABC, the triangle they bound is similar to ABC,ABC, here with ratio 118.\frac{11}{8}. Its perimeter is 118(120+220+180)=118520=715.\frac{11}{8}(120 + 220 + 180) = \frac{11}{8} \cdot 520 = 715.

The polynomial f(z)=az2018+bz2017+cz2016f(z) = az^{2018} + bz^{2017} + cz^{2016} has real coefficients not exceeding 2019,2019, and f(1+3i2)=2015+20193i.f\left(\frac{1 + \sqrt{3}i}{2}\right) = 2015 + 2019\sqrt{3}i. Find the remainder when f(1)f(1) is divided by 1000.1000.

Answer: 53

Difficulty rating: 2560

Solution:

Let ω=1+3i2=cos60+isin60,\omega = \frac{1 + \sqrt{3}i}{2} = \cos 60^\circ + i\sin 60^\circ, a primitive sixth root of unity. Since 2016=6336,2016 = 6 \cdot 336, we get ω2016=1,\omega^{2016} = 1, ω2017=ω,\omega^{2017} = \omega, and ω2018=ω2=1+3i2.\omega^{2018} = \omega^2 = \frac{-1 + \sqrt{3}i}{2}. Therefore f(ω)=aω2+bω+c=(c+ba2)+(a+b)32i.f(\omega) = a\omega^2 + b\omega + c = \left(c + \frac{b - a}{2}\right) + \frac{(a + b)\sqrt{3}}{2}\,i.

Matching imaginary parts, a+b2=2019,\frac{a + b}{2} = 2019, so a+b=4038.a + b = 4038. Since a2019a \le 2019 and b2019,b \le 2019, this forces a=b=2019.a = b = 2019. Matching real parts then gives c+0=2015,c + 0 = 2015, so c=2015.c = 2015.

Hence f(1)=a+b+c=4038+2015=6053,f(1) = a + b + c = 4038 + 2015 = 6053, whose remainder upon division by 10001000 is 53.53.

Call a positive integer nn kk-pretty if nn has exactly kk positive divisors and nn is divisible by k.k. For example, 1818 is 66-pretty. Let SS be the sum of the positive integers less than 20192019 that are 2020-pretty. Find S20.\frac{S}{20}.

Answer: 472

Difficulty rating: 2650

Solution:

We need 20n20 \mid n and τ(n)=20.\tau(n) = 20. Write n=2a5bmn = 2^a 5^b m with gcd(m,10)=1;\gcd(m, 10) = 1; then a2,a \ge 2, b1,b \ge 1, and (a+1)(b+1)τ(m)=20(a + 1)(b + 1)\tau(m) = 20 with a+13a + 1 \ge 3 and b+12.b + 1 \ge 2. The factor a+1a + 1 must be a divisor of 2020 that is at least 3:3: one of 4,4, 5,5, 10,10, 20.20.

If a+1=4,a + 1 = 4, then (b+1)τ(m)=5(b + 1)\tau(m) = 5 forces b=4,b = 4, m=1,m = 1, so n=2354=5000,n = 2^3 5^4 = 5000, too large. If a+1=10,a + 1 = 10, then b=1,b = 1, m=1,m = 1, and n=295=2560,n = 2^9 \cdot 5 = 2560, too large; a+1=20a + 1 = 20 is larger still. If a+1=5,a + 1 = 5, then (b+1)τ(m)=4,(b + 1)\tau(m) = 4, giving either b=3,b = 3, m=1,m = 1, so n=2453=2000<2019,n = 2^4 5^3 = 2000 \lt 2019, or b=1b = 1 and τ(m)=2,\tau(m) = 2, so m=pm = p is a prime other than 22 and 55 and n=80p<2019,n = 80p \lt 2019, i.e. p25:p \le 25: p{3,7,11,13,17,19,23}.p \in \{3, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23\}.

Therefore S=2000+80(3+7+11+13+17+19+23)=2000+8093=9440,S = 2000 + 80(3 + 7 + 11 + 13 + 17 + 19 + 23) = 2000 + 80 \cdot 93 = 9440, and S20=472.\frac{S}{20} = 472.

There is a unique angle θ\theta between 00^\circ and 9090^\circ such that for nonnegative integers n,n, the value of tan(2nθ)\tan(2^n\theta) is positive when nn is a multiple of 3,3, and negative otherwise. The degree measure of θ\theta is pq,\frac{p}{q}, where pp and qq are relatively prime positive integers. Find p+q.p + q.

Answer: 547

Difficulty rating: 2840

Solution:

Since tan\tan has period 180,180^\circ, only 2nθmod1802^n\theta \bmod 180^\circ matters: the tangent is positive on (0,90)(0^\circ, 90^\circ) and negative on (90,180).(90^\circ, 180^\circ). Suppose θ\theta satisfies the condition, and let θ\theta' be the reduction of 8θ8\theta modulo 180;180^\circ; since tan(8θ)>0,\tan(8\theta) \gt 0, we have θ(0,90).\theta' \in (0^\circ, 90^\circ). For every n,n, 2nθ2n+3θ(mod180),2^n\theta' \equiv 2^{n+3}\theta \pmod{180^\circ}, and the sign pattern for the exponents n+3n + 3 is the same as for n,n, so θ\theta' also satisfies the condition. By uniqueness, θ=θ,\theta' = \theta, so 7θ0(mod180)7\theta \equiv 0 \pmod{180^\circ} and θ=180k7\theta = \frac{180k}{7} degrees for some k{1,2,3}.k \in \{1, 2, 3\}.

Test each: for k=1,k = 1, 2θ=360751.42\theta = \frac{360^\circ}{7} \approx 51.4^\circ has positive tangent — fails. For k=2,k = 2, 4θ=14407180725.74\theta = \frac{1440^\circ}{7} \equiv \frac{180^\circ}{7} \approx 25.7^\circ has positive tangent — fails. For k=3,k = 3, θ=540777.1:\theta = \frac{540^\circ}{7} \approx 77.1^\circ: then 2θ154.32\theta \approx 154.3^\circ and 4θ128.64\theta \equiv 128.6^\circ are both in (90,180),(90^\circ, 180^\circ), and 8θθ,8\theta \equiv \theta, so the pattern positive, negative, negative repeats forever.

Thus θ=5407\theta = \frac{540}{7} degrees, and p+q=540+7=547.p + q = 540 + 7 = 547.

Triangle ABCABC has side lengths AB=7,AB = 7, BC=8,BC = 8, and CA=9.CA = 9. Circle ω1\omega_1 passes through BB and is tangent to line ACAC at A.A. Circle ω2\omega_2 passes through CC and is tangent to line ABAB at A.A. Let KK be the intersection of circles ω1\omega_1 and ω2\omega_2 not equal to A.A. Then AK=mn,AK = \frac{m}{n}, where mm and nn are relatively prime positive integers. Find m+n.m + n.

Answer: 11

Difficulty rating: 2990

Solution:

By the tangent-chord angle in ω1\omega_1 (tangent AC,AC, chord AKAK), KAC=KBA,\angle KAC = \angle KBA, and in ω2\omega_2 (tangent AB,AB, chord AKAK), KAB=KCA.\angle KAB = \angle KCA. Write u=KACu = \angle KAC and v=KAB,v = \angle KAB, so u+v=A.u + v = \angle A. Triangles KABKAB and KCAKCA then have KAB=v=KCA\angle KAB = v = \angle KCA and KBA=u=KAC,\angle KBA = u = \angle KAC, so KABKCA.\triangle KAB \sim \triangle KCA. With t=AKt = AK this gives KBt=tKC=ABCA=79,\frac{KB}{t} = \frac{t}{KC} = \frac{AB}{CA} = \frac{7}{9}, so KB=7t9KB = \frac{7t}{9} and KC=9t7.KC = \frac{9t}{7}. Also AKB=AKC=180uv=180A,\angle AKB = \angle AKC = 180^\circ - u - v = 180^\circ - \angle A, so BKC=3602(180A)=2A.\angle BKC = 360^\circ - 2(180^\circ - \angle A) = 2\angle A.

From the law of cosines in ABC,ABC, cosA=49+8164279=1121,\cos A = \frac{49 + 81 - 64}{2 \cdot 7 \cdot 9} = \frac{11}{21}, so cos2A=2(1121)21=199441.\cos 2A = 2\left(\frac{11}{21}\right)^2 - 1 = -\frac{199}{441}. The law of cosines in triangle BKCBKC gives 64=49t281+81t2492t2cos2A=t22401+6561+35823969=12544t23969,64 = \frac{49t^2}{81} + \frac{81t^2}{49} - 2t^2\cos 2A = t^2 \cdot \frac{2401 + 6561 + 3582}{3969} = \frac{12544\,t^2}{3969}, so t2=64396912544=3969196t^2 = \frac{64 \cdot 3969}{12544} = \frac{3969}{196} and t=6314=92.t = \frac{63}{14} = \frac{9}{2}.

Hence AK=92AK = \frac{9}{2} and m+n=9+2=11.m + n = 9 + 2 = 11.

For n1n \ge 1 call a finite sequence (a1,a2,,an)(a_1, a_2, \ldots, a_n) of positive integers progressive if ai<ai+1a_i \lt a_{i+1} and aia_i divides ai+1a_{i+1} for 1in1.1 \le i \le n - 1. Find the number of progressive sequences such that the sum of the terms in the sequence is equal to 360.360.

Answer: 47

Difficulty rating: 3060

Solution:

Divisibility is transitive, so every term of a progressive sequence is a multiple of the first term. If a sequence with sum 360360 has length at least 22 and first term d,d, then d360,d \mid 360, and dividing the remaining terms by dd yields a progressive sequence with first term at least 22 and sum 360dd=360d1;\frac{360 - d}{d} = \frac{360}{d} - 1; this correspondence is reversible. So if g(s)g(s) denotes the number of progressive sequences with sum ss and first term at least 2,2, the answer is 1+d360,d<360g ⁣(360d1),1 + \sum_{d \mid 360,\, d \lt 360} g\!\left(\frac{360}{d} - 1\right), the leading 11 counting the sequence (360).(360).

The same reduction gives the recursion g(s)=1+es2e<sg ⁣(se1)(s2),g(s) = 1 + \sum_{\substack{e \mid s \\ 2 \le e \lt s}} g\!\left(\frac{s}{e} - 1\right) \qquad (s \ge 2), with g(1)=0;g(1) = 0; in particular g(s)=1g(s) = 1 when ss is prime. Working upward: g(2)=g(3)=g(4)=g(5)=g(7)=1;g(2) = g(3) = g(4) = g(5) = g(7) = 1; g(6)=1+g(2)=2;g(6) = 1 + g(2) = 2; g(8)=1+g(3)=2;g(8) = 1 + g(3) = 2; g(9)=1+g(2)=2;g(9) = 1 + g(2) = 2; g(10)=1+g(4)=2;g(10) = 1 + g(4) = 2; g(12)=1+g(5)+g(3)+g(2)=4;g(12) = 1 + g(5) + g(3) + g(2) = 4; g(14)=1+g(6)=3;g(14) = 1 + g(6) = 3; g(16)=1+g(7)+g(3)=3;g(16) = 1 + g(7) + g(3) = 3; g(21)=1+g(6)+g(2)=4;g(21) = 1 + g(6) + g(2) = 4; g(35)=1+g(6)+g(4)=4;g(35) = 1 + g(6) + g(4) = 4; g(39)=1+g(12)+g(2)=6;g(39) = 1 + g(12) + g(2) = 6; g(44)=1+g(21)+g(10)+g(3)=8;g(44) = 1 + g(21) + g(10) + g(3) = 8; g(119)=1+g(16)+g(6)=6.g(119) = 1 + g(16) + g(6) = 6.

The 2323 divisors d<360d \lt 360 give arguments 360d1=359,\frac{360}{d} - 1 = 359, 179,179, 119,119, 89,89, 71,71, 59,59, 44,44, 39,39, 35,35, 29,29, 23,23, 19,19, 17,17, 14,14, 11,11, 9,9, 8,8, 7,7, 5,5, 4,4, 3,3, 2,2, 1,1, whose gg-values are 1,1,6,1,1,1,8,6,4,1,1,1,1,3,1,2,2,1,1,1,1,1,0,1, 1, 6, 1, 1, 1, 8, 6, 4, 1, 1, 1, 1, 3, 1, 2, 2, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 0, summing to 46.46. Adding the single-term sequence gives 46+1=47.46 + 1 = 47.

There is a positive integer nn such that the area of the region bounded by PA6,\overline{PA_6}, PA7,\overline{PA_7}, and the minor arc A6A7^\widehat{A_6A_7} of the circle is equal to 182n.\frac{1}{8} - \frac{\sqrt{2}}{n}.

Answer: 504

Difficulty rating: 3270

Solution:

Let OO be the center, ss the side length, aa the apothem, and uiu_i the unit vector from OO toward the midpoint of chord AiAi+1.A_iA_{i+1}. The region bounded by PAi,\overline{PA_i}, PAi+1,\overline{PA_{i+1}}, and the arc is the circular segment together with triangle PAiAi+1.PA_iA_{i+1}. The segment has area 18sa2\frac{1}{8} - \frac{sa}{2} (sector minus triangle OAiAi+1OA_iA_{i+1}), and the triangle at PP has area s2(aPui),\frac{s}{2}(a - P \cdot u_i), since aPuia - P \cdot u_i is the distance from PP to the chord. Adding, areai=18s2(Pui).\text{area}_i = \frac{1}{8} - \frac{s}{2}\,(P \cdot u_i).

The given areas say s2(Pu1)=1817=156\frac{s}{2}(P \cdot u_1) = \frac{1}{8} - \frac{1}{7} = -\frac{1}{56} and s2(Pu3)=1819=172.\frac{s}{2}(P \cdot u_3) = \frac{1}{8} - \frac{1}{9} = \frac{1}{72}. The normals rotate 4545^\circ per side, so u3u_3 is u1u_1 rotated 90,90^\circ, and u6,u_6, five steps from u1,u_1, is u1u_1 rotated 225:225^\circ: u6=22(u1+u3).u_6 = -\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}\,(u_1 + u_3). Therefore s2(Pu6)=12(156+172)=12(1252)=2504.\frac{s}{2}(P \cdot u_6) = -\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\left(-\frac{1}{56} + \frac{1}{72}\right) = -\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \cdot \left(-\frac{1}{252}\right) = \frac{\sqrt{2}}{504}.

The region on side A6A7A_6A_7 thus has area 182504,\frac{1}{8} - \frac{\sqrt{2}}{504}, so n=504.n = 504.

Find the sum of all positive integers nn such that, given an unlimited supply of stamps of denominations 5,5, n,n, and n+1n + 1 cents, 9191 cents is the greatest postage that cannot be formed.

Answer: 71
Solution:

Using kk stamps of the denominations nn and n+1n + 1 produces exactly the amounts kn+ckn + c for 0ck,0 \le c \le k, and adding 55-cent stamps then covers everything above in the same residue class mod 5.5. So in each class rr every amount at least m(r)m(r) is formable and nothing smaller is, where m(r)m(r) is the least value of kn+ckn + c (0ck)(0 \le c \le k) congruent to rr mod 5.5. The greatest non-formable amount is maxrm(r)5,\max_r m(r) - 5, so we need maxrm(r)=96:\max_r m(r) = 96: the class of 9696 (which is 11 mod 55) must be covered first exactly at 96,96, and every other class no later.

Case on nmod5,n \bmod 5, noting kn+ckn+c.kn + c \equiv kn + c. If n4:n \equiv 4: class 11 needs 4k+c14k + c \equiv 1 with ck,c \le k, first possible at k=4,k = 4, c=0,c = 0, so 4n=964n = 96 and n=24;n = 24; the other classes are covered at 24,24, 48,48, 72,72, all less than 96,96, so n=24n = 24 works. If n2:n \equiv 2: class 11 is first covered at k=2,k = 2, c=2,c = 2, so 2n+2=962n + 2 = 96 and n=47;n = 47; the other classes are covered at 47,47, 48,48, 9496,94 \le 96, so n=47n = 47 works.

If n3:n \equiv 3: class 11 first at 2n=96,2n = 96, so n=48,n = 48, but then class 22 is first covered at 2n+1=97>962n + 1 = 97 \gt 96 — fails. If n1:n \equiv 1: class 11 first at n=96,n = 96, but then class 33 is first covered at 2n+1=1932n + 1 = 193 — fails. If n0:n \equiv 0: class 11 first at n+1=96,n + 1 = 96, so n=95,n = 95, but class 44 needs c=4,c = 4, k4,k \ge 4, giving 4n+4>964n + 4 \gt 96 — fails. The answer is 24+47=71.24 + 47 = 71.

Answer: 574

Difficulty rating: 3370

Solution:

Write b=AC,b = AC, c=AB,c = AB, a=BC,a = BC, and k=cosA.k = \cos A. Right triangles APCAPC and AQBAQB give AP=bkAP = bk and AQ=ck,AQ = ck, so triangle APQAPQ is similar to triangle ACBACB with ratio k,k, whence PQ=ak=25.PQ = ak = 25. The points on the line occur in the order X,P,Q,Y,X, P, Q, Y, so the power of PP gives XPPY=1040=400=APPB,XP \cdot PY = 10 \cdot 40 = 400 = AP \cdot PB, and the power of QQ gives YQQX=1535=525=AQQC.YQ \cdot QX = 15 \cdot 35 = 525 = AQ \cdot QC. With u=bku = bk and v=ckv = ck these read u(cu)=400,v(bv)=525,u(c - u) = 400, \qquad v(b - v) = 525, that is, wu2=400w - u^2 = 400 and wv2=525,w - v^2 = 525, where w=uvk=bck.w = \frac{uv}{k} = bck.

By the law of cosines, a2=b2+c22bck,a^2 = b^2 + c^2 - 2bck, so a2k2=u2+v22uvk=625.a^2k^2 = u^2 + v^2 - 2uvk = 625. Substituting u2=w400u^2 = w - 400 and v2=w525,v^2 = w - 525, and uv=wk,uv = wk, gives 2w9252wk2=625,2w - 925 - 2wk^2 = 625, so wk2=w775.wk^2 = w - 775. Then (uv)2=w2k2=w(w775)=(w400)(w525),(uv)^2 = w^2k^2 = w(w - 775) = (w - 400)(w - 525), which simplifies to 150w=210000,150w = 210000, so w=1400w = 1400 and k2=14007751400=2556.k^2 = \frac{1400 - 775}{1400} = \frac{25}{56}.

Thus k=5214k = \frac{5}{2\sqrt{14}} and bc=wk=14002145=56014,bc = \frac{w}{k} = 1400 \cdot \frac{2\sqrt{14}}{5} = 560\sqrt{14}, so m+n=560+14=574.m + n = 560 + 14 = 574.
