Solutions
Problem 1
There is one and only one perfect square in the form
where and is prime. Find that perfect square.
Solution 1
. Suppose . Then, , so since , so is less than both and and thus we have and . Adding them gives so by Simon's Favorite Factoring Trick, in some order. Hence, .
Problem 2
The fraction,
where and are side lengths of a triangle, lies in the interval , where and are rational numbers. Then, can be expressed as , where and are relatively prime positive integers. Find .
Solution 1(Probably official MAA, lots of proofs)
Lemma 1:
Proof: Since the sides of triangles have positive length, . Hence,
, so now we just need to find .
Since by the Trivial Inequality, we have
as desired.
To show that the minimum value is achievable, we see that if , , so the minimum is thus achievable.
Thus, .
Lemma 2:
Proof: By the Triangle Inequality, we have
.
Since , we have
.
Add them together gives
Even though unallowed, if , then , so
.
Hence, , since by taking and close , we can get to be as close to as we wish.
Solution 2 (Fast, risky, no proofs)
By the Principle of Insufficient Reason, taking we get either the max or the min. Testing other values yields that we got the max, so . Another extrema must occur when one of (WLOG, ) is . Again, using the logic of solution 1 we see so so our answer is .
Problem 3
Suppose there are complex values and that satisfy
Find .
Solution 1
To make things easier, instead of saying , we say .
Now, we have . Expanding gives
.
To make things even simpler, let , so that .
Then, if , Newton's Sums gives
Therefore,
Now, we plug in
.
As we have done many times before, we substitute to get
.
Note: If you don't know Newton's Sums, you can also use Vieta's Formulas to bash.
Problem 4
Suppose
Find the remainder when is divided by 1000.
Solution 1 (Euler's Totient Theorem)
We first simplify
so
.
where the last step of all 3 congruences hold by the Euler's Totient Theorem. Hence,
Now, you can bash through solving linear congruences, but there is a smarter way. Notice that , and . Hence, , so . With this in mind, we proceed with finding .
Notice that and that . Therefore, we obtain the system of congruences :
.
Solving yields , and we're done.
Problem 5
Suppose is a -degrees polynomial. The Fundamental Theorem of Algebra tells us that there are roots, say . Suppose all integers ranging from to satisfies . Also, suppose that
for an integer . If is the minimum possible positive integral value of
.
Find the number of factors of the prime in .
Solution 1
Since all integers ranging from to satisfies , we have that all integers ranging from to satisfies , so by the Factor Theorem,
.
since is a -degrees polynomial, and we let to be the leading coefficient of .
Also note that since is the roots of ,
Now, notice that
Similarly, we have
To minimize this, we minimize . The minimum can get is when , in which case
, so there is factors of .
Problem 6
is an isosceles triangle where . Let the circumcircle of be . Then, there is a point and a point on circle such that and trisects and , and point lies on minor arc . Point is chosen on segment such that is one of the altitudes of . Ray intersects at point (not ) and is extended past to point , and . Point is also on and . Let the perpendicular bisector of and intersect at . Let be a point such that is both equal to (in length) and is perpendicular to and is on the same side of as . Let be the reflection of point over line . There exist a circle centered at and tangent to at point . intersect at . Now suppose intersects at one distinct point, and , and are collinear. If , then can be expressed in the form , where and are not divisible by the squares of any prime. Find .
Someone mind making a diagram for this?
Solution 1
Line is tangent to with point of tangency point because and is perpendicular to so this is true by the definition of tangent lines. Both and are on and line , so intersects at both and , and since we’re given intersects at one distinct point, and are not distinct, hence they are the same point.
Now, if the center of tangent circles are connected, the line segment will pass through the point of tangency. In this case, if we connect the center of tangent circles, and ( and respectively), it is going to pass through the point of tangency, namely, , which is the same point as , so , , and are concurrent. Hence, and are on both lines and , so passes through point , making a diameter of .
Now we state a few claims :
Claim 1: is equilateral.
Proof:
where the last equality holds by the Power of a Point Theorem.
Taking the square root of each side yields .
Since, by the definition of point , is on . Hence, , so
, and since is the reflection of point over line , , and since , by the Pythagorean Theorem we have
Since is the perpendicular bisector of , and we have hence is equilateral.
With this in mind, we see that
Here, we state another claim :
Claim 2 : is a diameter of
Proof: Since , we have
and the same reasoning with gives since .
Now, apply Ptolemy’s Theorem gives
so is a diameter.
From that, we see that , so . Now,
, so
, so
, and we’re done.
Note: All angle measures are in degrees
