Answer
Correct choice: (E)
正确答案:(E)
Solution
It is not hard to see that
\[(A+1)(M+1)(C+1)=\]
\[AMC+AM+AC+MC+A+M+C+1\]
Since $A+M+C=12$, we can rewrite this as
\[(A+1)(M+1)(C+1)=\]
\[AMC+AM+AC+MC+13\]
So we wish to maximize
\[(A+1)(M+1)(C+1)-13\]
Which is largest when all the factors are equal (consequence of AM-GM). Since $A+M+C=12$, we set $A=M=C=4$
Which gives us
\[(4+1)(4+1)(4+1)-13=112\]
so the answer is $\boxed{\textbf{(E) }112}.$
不难看出
\[(A+1)(M+1)(C+1)=\]
\[AMC+AM+AC+MC+A+M+C+1\]
由于 $A+M+C=12$,可将其改写为
\[(A+1)(M+1)(C+1)=\]
\[AMC+AM+AC+MC+13\]
因此我们希望最大化
\[(A+1)(M+1)(C+1)-13\]
当所有因子相等时(由 AM-GM 的推论),该值最大。由于 $A+M+C=12$,令 $A=M=C=4$
得到
\[(4+1)(4+1)(4+1)-13=112\]
所以答案是 $\boxed{\textbf{(E) }112}.$
