Problem 10

Consider the sequence $(a_k)_{k\ge 1}$ of positive rational numbers defined by $a_1 = \frac{2020}{2021}$ and for $k\ge 1$ , if $a_k = \frac{m}{n}$ for relatively prime positive integers $m$ and $n$ , then

$a_{k+1} = \frac{m + 18}{n+19}.$ Determine the sum of all positive integers $j$ such that the rational number $a_j$ can be written in the form $\frac{t}{t+1}$ for some positive integer $t$ .

Solution

Problem 11

Let $ABCD$ be a cyclic quadrilateral with $AB=4,BC=5,CD=6,$ and $DA=7$ . Let $A_1$ and $C_1$ be the feet of the perpendiculars from $A$ and $C$ , respectively, to line $BD,$ and let $B_1$ and $D_1$ be the feet of the perpendiculars from $B$ and $D,$ respectively, to line $AC$ . The perimeter of $A_1B_1C_1D_1$ is $\frac mn$ , where $m$ and $n$ are relatively prime positive integers. Find $m+n$ .

Solution

Problem 12

Let $A_1A_2A_3...A_{12}$ be a dodecagon (12-gon). Three frogs initially sit at $A_4,A_8,$ and $A_{12}$ . At the end of each minute, simultaneously, each of the three frogs jumps to one of the two vertices adjacent to its current position, chosen randomly and independently with both choices being equally likely. All three frogs stop jumping as soon as two frogs arrive at the same vertex at the same time. The expected number of minutes until the frogs stop jumping is $\frac mn$ , where $m$ and $n$ are relatively prime positive integers. Find $m+n$ .

Solution

Problem 13

Circles $\omega_1$ and $\omega_2$ with radii $961$ and $625$ , respectively, intersect at distinct points $A$ and $B$ . A third circle $\omega$ is externally tangent to both $\omega_1$ and $\omega_2$ . Suppose line $AB$ intersects $\omega$ at two points $P$ and $Q$ such that the measure of minor arc $\widehat{PQ}$ is $120^{\circ}$ . Find the distance between the centers of $\omega_1$ and $\omega_2$ .

Solution

Problem 14

For any positive integer $a,$ $\sigma(a)$ denotes the sum of the positive integer divisors of $a$ . Let $n$ be the least positive integer such that $\sigma(a^n)-1$ is divisible by $2021$ for all positive integers $a$ . Find the sum of the prime factors in the prime factorization of $n$ .

Solution

Problem 15

Let $S$ be the set of positive integers $k$ such that the two parabolas $y=x^2-k~~\text{and}~~x=2(y-20)^2-k$ intersect in four distinct points, and these four points lie on a circle with radius at most $21$ . Find the sum of the least element of $S$ and the greatest element of $S$ .
