Answer: E
Concepts:prime factorizationoptimization

Difficulty rating: 960

Solution:

Factoring gives 2001=32329.2001 = 3 \cdot 23 \cdot 29.

To maximize the sum with the product fixed, spread the factors as much as possible: take I=1I = 1 and combine the two largest primes, M=3M = 3 and O=2329=667.O = 23 \cdot 29 = 667.

The sum is 1+3+667=671.1 + 3 + 667 = 671.

Thus, the correct answer is E.

Answer: A
Concepts:exponent

Difficulty rating: 870

Solution:

Write the factor 20002000 as 20001.2000^1. Then 2000120002000=20001+2000=20002001.2000^1 \cdot 2000^{2000} = 2000^{1 + 2000} = 2000^{2001}.

Each of the other options is larger than 20002001.2000^{2001}.

Thus, the correct answer is A.

Chandra pays an on-line service provider a fixed monthly fee plus an hourly charge for connect time. Her December bill was $12.48, but in January her bill was $17.54 because she used twice as much connect time as in December. What is the fixed monthly fee?

$2.53

$5.06

$6.24

$7.42

$8.77

Answer: D

Difficulty rating: 1030

Solution:

January doubled only the connect time, so the increase $17.54$12.48=$5.06\$17.54 - \$12.48 = \$5.06 equals December's connect-time cost.

The fixed monthly fee is therefore $12.48$5.06=$7.42.\$12.48 - \$5.06 = \$7.42.

Thus, the correct answer is D.

5.

Points MM and NN are the midpoints of sides PAPA and PBPB of PAB.\triangle PAB. As PP moves along a line that is parallel to side AB,AB, how many of the four quantities listed below change?

(a) the length of the segment MN;MN; (b) the perimeter of PAB;\triangle PAB; (c) the area of PAB;\triangle PAB; (d) the area of trapezoid ABNM.ABNM.

00

44

Answer: B

Difficulty rating: 1240

Solution:

Since MNMN is a midsegment, MN=12AB,MN = \tfrac12 AB, which is fixed.

The base ABAB and the height from PP to ABAB are both constant as PP slides along the parallel line, so the area of PAB\triangle PAB does not change. The trapezoid ABNMABNM is the triangle minus PMN,\triangle PMN, both of whose areas are constant, so its area does not change either.

Only the perimeter changes, since PAPA and PBPB vary as PP moves. So exactly one quantity changes.

Thus, the correct answer is B.

Answer: C

Difficulty rating: 1240

Solution:

Recording only the units digits gives the sequence 1,1,2,3,5,8,3,1,4,5,9,4,3,7,0,7,7,4,1,5,6,1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 3, 1, 4, 5, 9, 4, 3, 7, 0, 7, 7, 4, 1, 5, 6, \ldots

Scanning for the first appearance of each digit, the digit 66 is the last of the ten digits to show up.

Thus, the correct answer is C.

In rectangle ABCD,ABCD, AD=1,AD = 1, PP is on AB,\overline{AB}, and DB\overline{DB} and DP\overline{DP} trisect ADC.\angle ADC. What is the perimeter of BDP?\triangle BDP?

3+333 + \dfrac{\sqrt3}{3}

2+4332 + \dfrac{4\sqrt3}{3}

2+222 + 2\sqrt2

3+352\dfrac{3 + 3\sqrt5}{2}

2+5332 + \dfrac{5\sqrt3}{3}

Answer: B

Difficulty rating: 1390

Solution:

The right angle ADC=90\angle ADC = 90^\circ is trisected into three 3030^\circ angles, so ADP=30\angle ADP = 30^\circ and ADB=60.\angle ADB = 60^\circ.

In right triangle ADP,ADP, with AD=1,AD = 1, we get DP=1cos30=233DP = \dfrac{1}{\cos 30^\circ} = \dfrac{2\sqrt3}{3} and AP=tan30=33.AP = \tan 30^\circ = \dfrac{\sqrt3}{3}.

In right triangle ADB,ADB, with AD=1,AD = 1, we get DB=1cos60=2DB = \dfrac{1}{\cos 60^\circ} = 2 and AB=tan60=3.AB = \tan 60^\circ = \sqrt3.

Then PB=ABAP=333=233.PB = AB - AP = \sqrt3 - \dfrac{\sqrt3}{3} = \dfrac{2\sqrt3}{3}.

The perimeter of BDP\triangle BDP is DP+PB+DB=233+233+2=2+433.DP + PB + DB = \dfrac{2\sqrt3}{3} + \dfrac{2\sqrt3}{3} + 2 = 2 + \dfrac{4\sqrt3}{3}.

Thus, the correct answer is B.

At Olympic High School, 25\tfrac25 of the freshmen and 45\tfrac45 of the sophomores took the AMC 10. Given that the number of freshmen and sophomore contestants was the same, which of the following must be true?

There are five times as many sophomores as freshmen.

There are twice as many sophomores as freshmen.

There are as many freshmen as sophomores.

There are twice as many freshmen as sophomores.

There are five times as many freshmen as sophomores.

Answer: D

Difficulty rating: 1020

Solution:

Let ff and ss be the numbers of freshmen and sophomores. The contestant counts are equal, so 25f=45s.\tfrac25 f = \tfrac45 s.

Multiplying by 55 gives 2f=4s,2f = 4s, so f=2s.f = 2s. There are twice as many freshmen as sophomores.

Thus, the correct answer is D.

If x2=p,|x - 2| = p, where x<2,x \lt 2, then xp=x - p =

2-2

22

22p2 - 2p

2p22p - 2

2p2|2p - 2|

Answer: C

Difficulty rating: 1170

Solution:

Because x<2,x \lt 2, we have x2=2x=p,|x - 2| = 2 - x = p, so x=2p.x = 2 - p.

Then xp=(2p)p=22p.x - p = (2 - p) - p = 2 - 2p.

Thus, the correct answer is C.

10.

1010

Answer: D

Difficulty rating: 1370

Solution:

By the triangle inequality, each of xx and yy can be any number strictly between 64=26 - 4 = 2 and 6+4=10.6 + 4 = 10.

Then xy|x - y| can take any value with 0xy<8.0 \le |x - y| \lt 8.

The smallest positive number not attainable is 102=8.10 - 2 = 8.

Thus, the correct answer is D.

11.

Two different prime numbers between 44 and 1818 are chosen. When their sum is subtracted from their product, which of the following numbers could be obtained?

2121

6060

119119

180180

231231

Answer: C

Difficulty rating: 1370

Solution:

The primes between 44 and 1818 are 5,7,11,13,5, 7, 11, 13, and 17.17. The product of two of them is odd and the sum is even, so xy(x+y)xy - (x + y) is odd.

Since xy(x+y)=(x1)(y1)1xy - (x + y) = (x - 1)(y - 1) - 1 increases as either prime increases, the result ranges from 5712=235 \cdot 7 - 12 = 23 up to 131730=191.13 \cdot 17 - 30 = 191.

The only odd option in [23,191][23, 191] is 119=1113(11+13).119 = 11 \cdot 13 - (11 + 13).

Thus, the correct answer is C.

12.

Figures 0,1,2,0, 1, 2, and 33 consist of 1,5,13,1, 5, 13, and 2525 nonoverlapping unit squares, respectively. If the pattern were continued, how many nonoverlapping unit squares would there be in figure 100?100?

1040110401

1980119801

2020120201

3980139801

4080140801

Answer: C
Solution:

Figure nn can be split into the sum of the first nn odd numbers and the first n+1n+1 odd numbers, giving n2+(n+1)2n^2 + (n+1)^2 unit squares.

For figure 100,100, this is 1002+1012=10000+10201=20201.100^2 + 101^2 = 10000 + 10201 = 20201.

Thus, the correct answer is C.

13.

There are 55 yellow pegs, 44 red pegs, 33 green pegs, 22 blue pegs, and 11 orange peg to be placed on a triangular peg board. In how many ways can the pegs be placed so that no (horizontal) row or (vertical) column contains two pegs of the same color?

5!4!3!2!1!5! \cdot 4! \cdot 3! \cdot 2! \cdot 1!

15!/(5!4!3!2!1!)15!/(5! \cdot 4! \cdot 3! \cdot 2! \cdot 1!)

15!15!

Answer: B

Difficulty rating: 1370

Solution:

The board has five rows and five columns. To avoid two yellow pegs in a row or column, there must be exactly one yellow peg in each row, forcing the yellow pegs onto the long diagonal.

The four red pegs must then each go in rows 22 through 5,5, and the only positions left force them into a single diagonal as well. Continuing with green, blue, and orange, every color is forced into a unique position.

Hence there is exactly one valid arrangement.

Thus, the correct answer is B.

Mrs. Walter gave an exam in a mathematics class of five students. She entered the scores in random order into a spreadsheet, which recalculated the class average after each score was entered. Mrs. Walter noticed that after each score was entered, the average was always an integer. The scores (listed in ascending order) were 71,76,80,82,71, 76, 80, 82, and 91.91. What was the last score Mrs. Walter entered?

7171

7676

8080

8282

9191

Answer: C

Difficulty rating: 1560

Solution:

The residues of 71,76,80,82,9171, 76, 80, 82, 91 modulo 33 are 2,1,2,1,1.2, 1, 2, 1, 1. The sum of the first three scores must be divisible by 3,3, and the only such triple is 76+82+91=249,76 + 82 + 91 = 249, so the third score entered is 9191 and the first two are 7676 and 82.82.

Since 249249 is one more than a multiple of 4,4, the fourth score must be three more than a multiple of 4,4, which only 7171 satisfies. That leaves 8080 as the fifth and last score.

Indeed 76,158,249,320,40076, 158, 249, 320, 400 are divisible by 1,2,3,4,5.1, 2, 3, 4, 5.

Thus, the correct answer is C.

15.

Two non-zero real numbers, aa and b,b, satisfy ab=ab.ab = a - b. Find a possible value of ab+baab.\dfrac{a}{b} + \dfrac{b}{a} - ab.

12-\dfrac12

13\dfrac13

12\dfrac12

22

Answer: E

Difficulty rating: 1420

Solution:

Over the common denominator ab,ab, ab+baab=a2+b2(ab)2ab.\dfrac{a}{b} + \dfrac{b}{a} - ab = \dfrac{a^2 + b^2 - (ab)^2}{ab}.

Substituting ab=abab = a - b gives a2+b2(ab)2ab=2abab=2.\dfrac{a^2 + b^2 - (a - b)^2}{ab} = \dfrac{2ab}{ab} = 2.

Thus, the correct answer is E.

The diagram shows 2828 lattice points, each one unit from its nearest neighbors. Segment ABAB meets segment CDCD at E.E. Find the length of segment AE.AE.

453\dfrac{4\sqrt5}{3}

553\dfrac{5\sqrt5}{3}

1257\dfrac{12\sqrt5}{7}

252\sqrt5

5659\dfrac{5\sqrt{65}}{9}

Answer: B
Solution:

Place the points at A=(0,3),A = (0, 3), B=(6,0),B = (6, 0), C=(4,2),C = (4, 2), D=(2,0).D = (2, 0).

Line ABAB is x+2y=6x + 2y = 6 and line CDCD is xy=2.x - y = 2. Solving simultaneously gives E=(103,43).E = \left(\dfrac{10}{3}, \dfrac{4}{3}\right).

Then AE=(103)2+(433)2=1009+259=553.AE = \sqrt{\left(\dfrac{10}{3}\right)^2 + \left(\dfrac{4}{3} - 3\right)^2} = \sqrt{\dfrac{100}{9} + \dfrac{25}{9}} = \dfrac{5\sqrt5}{3}.

Thus, the correct answer is B.

17.

Boris has an incredible coin changing machine. When he puts in a quarter, it returns five nickels; when he puts in a nickel, it returns five pennies; and when he puts in a penny, it returns five quarters. Boris starts with just one penny. Which of the following amounts could Boris have after using the machine repeatedly?

$3.63

$5.13

$6.30

$7.45

$9.07

Answer: D

Difficulty rating: 1750

Solution:

Trading a quarter for five nickels or a nickel for five pennies does not change the total value. Only trading a penny for five quarters changes it, adding 5251=1245 \cdot 25 - 1 = 124 cents.

Starting from 11 cent, Boris always has 1+124n1 + 124n cents for some nonnegative integer n.n.

Only $7.45\$7.45 has this form, since 745=1+1246.745 = 1 + 124 \cdot 6.

Thus, the correct answer is D.

18.

Charlyn walks completely around the boundary of a square whose sides are each 55 km long. From any point on her path she can see exactly 11 km horizontally in all directions. What is the area of the region consisting of all points Charlyn can see during her walk, expressed in square kilometers and rounded to the nearest whole number?

2424

2727

3939

4040

4242

Answer: C

Difficulty rating: 1820

Solution:

Inside the square, Charlyn sees everything except a central square of side 52=3,5 - 2 = 3, an area of 259=1625 - 9 = 16 km2.^2.

Outside the square, the region is four rectangles each 5×15 \times 1 plus four quarter circles of radius 1,1, an area of 45+π=20+π4 \cdot 5 + \pi = 20 + \pi km2.^2.

The total area is 36+π3936 + \pi \approx 39 km2.^2.

Thus, the correct answer is C.

19.

Through a point on the hypotenuse of a right triangle, lines are drawn parallel to the legs of the triangle so that the triangle is divided into a square and two smaller right triangles. The area of one of the two small right triangles is mm times the area of the square. The ratio of the area of the other small right triangle to the area of the square is

12m+1\dfrac{1}{2m + 1}

mm

1m1 - m

14m\dfrac{1}{4m}

18m2\dfrac{1}{8m^2}

Answer: D

Difficulty rating: 1750

Solution:

Let the square have side 1.1. One small triangle has legs 11 and r,r, with area 12r=m,\tfrac12 r = m, so r=2m.r = 2m.

The two small triangles are similar, so the other has legs 11 and 1r,\tfrac1r, with area 121r=14m.\tfrac12 \cdot \tfrac1r = \tfrac{1}{4m}.

Since the square has area 1,1, the desired ratio is 14m.\dfrac{1}{4m}.

Thus, the correct answer is D.

20.

Let A,A, M,M, and CC be nonnegative integers such that A+M+C=10.A + M + C = 10. What is the maximum value of AMC+AM+MC+CA?A \cdot M \cdot C + A \cdot M + M \cdot C + C \cdot A?

4949

5959

6969

7979

8989

Answer: C

Difficulty rating: 1820

Solution:

Notice that AMC+AM+MC+CA=(A+1)(M+1)(C+1)(A+M+C)1=(A+1)(M+1)(C+1)11.A \cdot M \cdot C + AM + MC + CA = (A+1)(M+1)(C+1) - (A + M + C) - 1 = (A+1)(M+1)(C+1) - 11.

We maximize a product of three positive integers summing to 13.13. The most balanced split is 4,4,5,4, 4, 5, giving 445=80.4 \cdot 4 \cdot 5 = 80.

The maximum is 8011=69.80 - 11 = 69.

Thus, the correct answer is C.

21.

If all alligators are ferocious creatures and some creepy crawlers are alligators, which statement(s) must be true?

I. All alligators are creepy crawlers.

II. Some ferocious creatures are creepy crawlers.

III. Some alligators are not creepy crawlers.

I only

II only

III only

II and III only

None must be true

Answer: B

Difficulty rating: 1510

Solution:

Some creepy crawlers are alligators, and all alligators are ferocious, so those creatures are both creepy crawlers and ferocious. Hence some ferocious creatures are creepy crawlers, making II true.

Statement I fails because not every alligator need be a creepy crawler, and III fails because it is possible that all alligators are creepy crawlers. Only II must hold.

Thus, the correct answer is B.

22.

One morning each member of Angela's family drank an 88-ounce mixture of coffee with milk. The amounts of coffee and milk varied from cup to cup, but were never zero. Angela drank a quarter of the total amount of milk and a sixth of the total amount of coffee. How many people are in the family?

33

44

55

66

77

Answer: C
Solution:

Let there be nn people, drinking 8n8n ounces total, split into milk MM and coffee C.C. Angela drank one cup, so 14M+16C=1n(M+C).\tfrac14 M + \tfrac16 C = \tfrac1n (M + C).

The left side is a weighted average of 14\tfrac14 and 16,\tfrac16, so 1n\tfrac1n lies strictly between 16\tfrac16 and 14.\tfrac14. That forces 4<n<6,4 \lt n \lt 6, so n=5.n = 5.

Thus, the correct answer is C.

23.

When the mean, median, and mode of the list 10,2,5,2,4,2,x10, 2, 5, 2, 4, 2, x are arranged in increasing order, they form a non-constant arithmetic progression. What is the sum of all possible real values of x?x?

33

66

99

1717

2020

Answer: E

Difficulty rating: 1950

Solution:

The mode is always 2,2, and the mean is 25+x7.\dfrac{25 + x}{7}. For the values to form a non-constant arithmetic progression we examine the median.

If x=3,x = 3, the sorted list is 2,2,2,3,4,5,10,2, 2, 2, 3, 4, 5, 10, with median 33 and mean 4,4, giving the progression 2,3,4.2, 3, 4.

If x=17,x = 17, the sorted list is 2,2,2,4,5,10,17,2, 2, 2, 4, 5, 10, 17, with median 44 and mean 6,6, giving the progression 2,4,6.2, 4, 6.

No other value of xx works, so the sum of all possible values is 3+17=20.3 + 17 = 20.

Thus, the correct answer is E.

24.

Let ff be a function for which f(x3)=x2+x+1.f\left(\dfrac{x}{3}\right) = x^2 + x + 1. Find the sum of all values of zz for which f(3z)=7.f(3z) = 7.

59\dfrac59

53\dfrac53

Answer: B

Difficulty rating: 1690

Solution:

To evaluate f(3z),f(3z), set x3=3z,\dfrac{x}{3} = 3z, so x=9z.x = 9z. Then f(3z)=(9z)2+9z+1=81z2+9z+1.f(3z) = (9z)^2 + 9z + 1 = 81z^2 + 9z + 1.

Setting this equal to 77 gives 81z2+9z6=0.81z^2 + 9z - 6 = 0.

By the sum-of-roots formula, the sum of the values of zz is 981=19.-\dfrac{9}{81} = -\dfrac19.

Thus, the correct answer is B.

In year N,N, the 300300th day of the year is a Tuesday. In year N+1,N + 1, the 200200th day is also a Tuesday. On what day of the week did the 100100th day of year N1N - 1 occur?

Thursday

Friday

Saturday

Sunday

Monday

Answer: A

Difficulty rating: 1860

Solution:

From day 300300 of year NN to day 200200 of year N+1N + 1 is (L300)+200(L - 300) + 200 days, where LL is the length of year N.N. If NN were not a leap year, this is 2656(mod7),265 \equiv 6 \pmod 7, giving a Monday, not a Tuesday. So year NN is a leap year, and the count is 266=738,266 = 7 \cdot 38, consistent with Tuesday.

Then years N1N - 1 and N+1N + 1 are not leap years.

The 100100th day of year N1N - 1 precedes the Tuesday (day 300300 of year NN) by (365100)+300=565(365 - 100) + 300 = 565 days. Since 565=780+5,565 = 7 \cdot 80 + 5, that day is 55 days earlier in the week than Tuesday, which is a Thursday.

Thus, the correct answer is A.
