5 Solutions. E The gretest number of people group cn hve with no two born in the sme month nd on the sme dy of the week is ()() = 8. The gretest number of people group cn hve with no three born in the sme month nd on the sme dy of the week is (8) = 68. dd one more person, nd there must be t lest born in the sme month nd on the sme dy. Therefore, the nswer is 69.. Let N = 0t + u. Then the rithmetic sequence is t + u, 0t +u, 0u + t. Then 0t +u (t + u) = 0u + t (0t +u) 9t = 9u 9t u = t. Therefore, the only possible vlues of N re,, 6, nd 8, with sum of 0.. onstruct segment E. The sum of the mesures of the ngles of pentgon E is 80( ) = 0. The sum of the mesures of ngles F, G, nd H is 60 x. The sum of the mesures of HE nd FE is 80 x. The desired sum is 0 (80 x) + (60 x) = 0 F x x E G H. mile per hour = 88 feet per minute = feet per second. Therefore, x mph = x feet per x second. We must solve x = x = nd x =.. E Let w be the number of girls t the prty nd m be the number of boys. w w + Then = w m = nd = w m =. w + m w + m + Solving the two equtions, w = nd m =. Therefore, there were boys t the prty. 6. E First note tht r > nd s >. Since r = r + nd s = s +, we get r + = s + nd r = s +. The first vlue of s > for which this is true is s = 9 nd r =. Therefore, the desired sum is. b. There re three wys in which cn equl when nd b re integers: (i) =, (ii) = nd b is even, or (iii) b = 0 nd 0. (i) x x = x = or. (ii) x x = nd x + is even. x x = x = 0 or. If x = 0, x + is even, but if x =, x + is odd. (iii) x + = 0 nd x x 0. When x =, x x = 0. Therefore, there re totl of solutions (nmely,,, 0, nd ). 8. Let x be the speed for the next two miles. verge speed = = 60 + x nd solving, x =. totl distnce. Therefore, totl time

6 9. In ny eqution of the form x + x + bx + c = 0 with roots p, q, nd r, (i) p + q + r =, (ii) pq + pr + qr = b, nd (iii) pqr = c The three roots of the given eqution xx xx + 6xx + cc = 0 my be represented by p d, p, nd p + d. Using (i) (p d) + p + (p + d) = nd p =. The vlue of c cn be found by substituting in the eqution, or using (ii) ( d) + ( + d) + ( d)( + d) = 6 nd d = ±. Therefore, the three roots re,, nd 8. Using (iii) c = ( )()(8) = = p q p q 6q + 6p = 6 p + q = 6. The combintions of two primes (p, q) tht stisfy this eqution with p < q re (, ), (, 9), (, ), nd (, 9). Of these the lrgest product pq is ()(9) =.. The semiperimeter of the tringle is n n n n n n = + n. Using Heron s Formul, Simplifying, n 6n = 0 giving (n +)(n 6) = 0, so tht n = 6.. x = y + y, y = z + z, nd x = z + z + = y + y = z + z + y = z + z + z z = z + z. Squring both sides of the lst eqution, z + z = z + z or z = nd z =. 9 0 Therefore, x = z + =, nd y = z + z =. Hence, x + y + z = = Look for pttern: ( + i) = i ( + i) = (i) = ( + i) 8 = ( ) = 6 ( + i) 6 = 6 Therefore, n = 6 b. Eliminte y from the given equtions to obtin x = 6 + b nd x = +. b Eliminting x from the given equtions nd solving for y, we obtin y = +. b Therefore, x + y =. In order for x + y to be n integer, b must be multiple of. The only multiples of less thn or equl to 00 for which x + y is squre re: b =, x + y = = ; b = 6, x + y = 9 = ; b = 0, x + y = 9 = ; nd b = 69, x + y = 6 = 8. Thus, there re.

7 . E Substituting y = mx + into x + y = nd rerrnging terms, we obtin (mm + )xx + 8mmmm + = 0 In order for the two grphs to intersect exctly once, the discriminnt must be zero. ( 8m) ( m + )( ) = 6m = 0 nd m =. Since the slope of line is the tngent of the ngle the line mkes with the positive x-xis, tn θ = from which sin θ =. θ 6. E Let nd b be, respectively, the number of pennies tht ebbie nd on hd in their stcks, nd let x be the certin number of pennies. From the given informtion, we obtin the following two equtions: + x = 6( b x) nd x = (b + x). From the first eqution, = 6b x, nd, from the second eqution, =b +x. Therefore, 6b x =b + x, from which b = x. Since, b, nd x re required to be positive integers, the smllest possible vlue for x is. Then b = nd = 6() () =. Therefore, is the smllest number of pennies tht ebbie could hve hd.. Method : In the digrm, construct line through prllel to leg. Qudrilterl E is prllelogrm, mking E -- right tringle. The re E of E is ()() = 6. Thus, the ltitude from to E hs length =.. Therefore, the re of trpezoid is. (.)( + ) =.8 Method : In the digrm, drw ltitudes from nd nd represent the lengths of the segments s shown. Then, h = 9 xx = 6 ( xx) from which xx = 9 =.8. Thus, h = 9 (.8) =., nd the re of trpezoid is (.)( + ) =. 8 h h x -x

8 9! 8. The number of distinct rrngements of the nine digits is = 80. (!)(!)(!) plindrome will hve in the fifth position nd two s nd one ech of the s nd s in positions. Positions 6 9 will mirror. The number of distinct wys of! rrnging these numbers is =. The probbility tht the number is plindrome is! = Method : Since M N, M N. Represent the mesure of ech s α. Without loss of generlity, let the length of the sides of the squre be. Then M = N = nd N = M =, nd cos α =. Sin ( MN) = sin(90 α) = cosα = cos α = Thus cos( MN) = nd tn( MN) =. =. α α M N Method : M Let m( M) = β. onstruct MP. Then tn α = nd tn β =. Since m( MN) = β α, tn( MN) = tnβ tnα +tnβtnα = +() = α P N 0. The coordintes of the midpoint of segment PQ re the verge of the coordintes of P x + x log x + log x nd Q,,. Since the line through the midpoint of segment PQ nd point N is horizontl, the y-coordinte of point N is the sme s the y-coordinte of log x + log x the midpoint. Therefore, y = log x =. Using the lws of logrithms, log x = log [( x )( x )], from which x = x )( ). ( x. E Let,, nd represent the number of students receiving ech of the three grdes. Then 6 nd +. Since,, nd 6 +, then 6 nd. 6 ut must be positive integer, so. Since 6, we hve nd. The vlues =, =, nd = 0 re consistent with 6 the given informtion. Therefore, the minimum number of students receiving s is.

9 . Represent the dimeter of the lrger semicircle s, nd the dimeter of the smller semicircle s b. Note tht the line joining the centers of the two semicircles psses through their common point. Using the Pythgoren Theorem, ( b) + = ( + b) b + b + = + b + b. b Simplifying, = 6b =. -b b b b. We re looking for the solutions to the eqution ( + y) ( x + y ) = 08 Rewriting the left side s ( x y ) ( x y) x. nd fctoring, the eqution becomes ( x y)( x + y ) = 08. Since x nd y, then x + y is positive, nd thus x y is positive. Therefore, x y nd x + y re positive integrl fctors of 08, with the first smller thn the second. There re two possibilities. Either x y = nd x + y = 08, or x y = nd x + y = 009 (note tht 009 is prime). In the first cse, x = 00 nd y = 009. In the second cse, x = 06 nd y = 0. The desired sum is 6.. Let k be non-negtive integer. Let f(x) = x + x + x. If k x < k +, then f(x) = 6k. If k + x < k +, then f(x) = 6k +. If k + x < k +, then f(x) = 6k +. If k + x < k +, then f(x) = 6k +. Therefore, there is only solution if n is congruent to 0,,, or mod 6. Thus, there re (06) + = 6 such 6 positive integers n.. Method : rw segment. Using the Pythgoren Theorem on isosceles right tringle, =. Since segments nd re perpendiculr, right tringle, nd =. Let P = α. Then cos α = = =. onstruct the ltitude M to side P of isosceles P. Then in right tringle M, cos α = = M = M, nd M = = (P). Thus P = P =, P =, nd the desired rtio =. P P M α

10 Method : rw segment. s in method, =, =, nd cos α =. Since P is isosceles, P = α. Then, P cos θ = cos(80 α) = cos α = (cos α ) = = Using the Lw of osines in P, P = + P ()(P)c os θ = + ()() = nd P =. Thus, P =, nd the desired rtio P =. P. θ α
