Q1
How many integer values of $x$ satisfy $|x|<3\pi$?
有几个整数值 $x$ 满足 $|x|<3\pi$?
Correct Answer: D
Since $3\pi\approx9.42$, we multiply $9$ by $2$ for the integers from $1$ to $9$ and the integers from $-1$ to $-9$ and add $1$ to account for $0$ to get $\boxed{\textbf{(D)} ~19}$.
由于 $3\pi\approx9.42$,我们将 $9$ 乘以 $2$ 来计算从 $1$ 到 $9$ 和从 $-1$ 到 $-9$ 的整数,然后加 $1$ 来计入 $0$,得到 $\boxed{\textbf{(D)} ~19}$。
Q2
What is the value of $\sqrt{\left(3-2\sqrt{3}\right)^2}+\sqrt{\left(3+2\sqrt{3}\right)^2}$?
求 $\sqrt{\left(3-2\sqrt{3}\right)^2}+\sqrt{\left(3+2\sqrt{3}\right)^2}$ 的值。
Correct Answer: D
Note that the square root of any number squared is always the absolute value of the squared number because the square root function will only return a nonnegative number. By squaring both $3$ and $2\sqrt{3}$, we see that $2\sqrt{3}>3$, thus $3-2\sqrt{3}$ is negative, so we must take the absolute value of $3-2\sqrt{3}$, which is just $2\sqrt{3}-3$. Knowing this, the first term in the expression equals $2\sqrt{3}-3$ and the second term is $3+2\sqrt3$, and summing the two gives $\boxed{\textbf{(D)} ~4\sqrt{3}}$.
注意,任何数的平方根总是该数的绝对值,因为平方根函数只返回非负数。通过平方 $3$ 和 $2\sqrt{3}$,我们看到 $2\sqrt{3}>3$,因此 $3-2\sqrt{3}$ 是负数,所以我们必须取 $3-2\sqrt{3}$ 的绝对值,即 $2\sqrt{3}-3$。知道这一点,表达式第一项等于 $2\sqrt{3}-3$,第二项是 $3+2\sqrt{3}$,两者相加得到 $\boxed{\textbf{(D)} ~4\sqrt{3}}$。
Q3
In an after-school program for juniors and seniors, there is a debate team with an equal number of students from each class on the team. Among the $28$ students in the program, $25\%$ of the juniors as a class and $10\%$ of the seniors as a class are on the debate team. How many juniors are in the program?
在一个为高二和高三学生开设的课后项目中,辩论队中有来自每个年级的学生数量相等。该项目共有 $28$ 名学生,高二年级学生的 $25\%$ 和高三年级学生的 $10\%$ 在辩论队中。项目中有多少高二学生?
Correct Answer: C
Say there are $j$ juniors and $s$ seniors in the program. Converting percentages to fractions, $\frac{j}{4}$ and $\frac{s}{10}$ are on the debate team, and since an equal number of juniors and seniors are on the debate team, $\frac{j}{4} = \frac{s}{10}.$ Cross-multiplying and simplifying we get $5j=2s.$ Additionally, since there are $28$ students in the program, $j+s = 28.$ It is now a matter of solving the system of equations \[5j=2s\]\[j+s=28,\] and the solution is $j = 8, s = 20.$ Since we want the number of juniors, the answer is \[\boxed{(C) \text{ } 8}.\]
设项目中有 $j$ 名高二学生和 $s$ 名高三学生。将百分比转换为分数,$\frac{j}{4}$ 和 $\frac{s}{10}$ 在辩论队中,由于每个年级的辩论队成员数量相等,$\frac{j}{4} = \frac{s}{10}$。 交叉相乘并简化得到 $5j=2s$。此外,由于项目中共有 $28$ 名学生,$j+s = 28$。现在求解方程组 \[5j=2s\]\[j+s=28,] 解得 $j = 8, s = 20$。我们需要高二学生数量,即 $\boxed{(C) \text{ } 8}$。
Q4
At a math contest, $57$ students are wearing blue shirts, and another $75$ students are wearing yellow shirts. The $132$ students are assigned into $66$ pairs. In exactly $23$ of these pairs, both students are wearing blue shirts. In how many pairs are both students wearing yellow shirts?
在一场数学竞赛中,有 $57$ 名学生穿蓝色衬衫,另外 $75$ 名学生穿黄色衬衫。这 $132$ 名学生被分成 $66$ 对。在恰好 $23$ 对中,两名学生都穿蓝色衬衫。有多少对中两名学生都穿黄色衬衫?
Correct Answer: B
There are $46$ blue students paired with a blue partner. The other $11$ students wearing blue shirts must each be paired with a partner wearing a shirt of the opposite color. There are $64$ yellow students remaining. Therefore the requested number of pairs is $\tfrac{64}{2}=\boxed{\textbf{(B)} ~32}$
有 $46$ 名穿蓝色衬衫的学生与蓝色伙伴配对。其余 $11$ 名穿蓝色衬衫的学生必须各自与穿不同颜色衬衫的伙伴配对。剩余 $64$ 名穿黄色衬衫的学生。因此,所求对数为 $\tfrac{64}{2}=\boxed{\textbf{(B)} ~32}$
Q5
The ages of Jonie's four cousins are distinct single-digit positive integers. Two of the cousins' ages multiplied together give $24$, while the other two multiply to $30$. What is the sum of the ages of Jonie's four cousins?
Jonie 的四个堂兄弟的年龄是不同的个位正整数。其中两个堂兄弟的年龄相乘得 $24$,另外两个相乘得 $30$。Jonie 四个堂兄弟年龄的总和是多少?
Correct Answer: B
First look at the two cousins' ages that multiply to $24$. Since the ages must be single-digit, the ages must either be $3 \text{ and } 8$ or $4 \text{ and } 6.$ Next, look at the two cousins' ages that multiply to $30$. Since the ages must be single-digit, the only ages that work are $5 \text{ and } 6.$ Remembering that all the ages must all be distinct, the only solution that works is when the ages are $3, 8$ and $5, 6$. We are required to find the sum of the ages, which is \[3 + 8 + 5 + 6 = \boxed{\textbf{(B)} ~22}.\]
首先看相乘为 $24$ 的两个堂兄弟年龄。由于年龄必须是个位数,可能的年龄是 $3$ 和 $8$ 或 $4$ 和 $6$。 接下来看相乘为 $30$ 的两个堂兄弟年龄。由于年龄必须是个位数,唯一可能的年龄是 $5$ 和 $6$。记住所有年龄必须互不相同,唯一可行的方案是年龄为 $3,8$ 和 $5,6$。 要求年龄总和,即 \[3 + 8 + 5 + 6 = \boxed{\textbf{(B)} ~22}\]。
Q6
Ms. Blackwell gives an exam to two classes. The mean of the scores of the students in the morning class is $84$, and the afternoon class's mean score is $70$. The ratio of the number of students in the morning class to the number of students in the afternoon class is $\frac{3}{4}$. What is the mean of the scores of all the students?
布莱克韦尔女士给两个班级的学生出了一场考试。上午班学生的成绩平均分为$84$,下午班的平均分为$70$。上午班学生人数与下午班学生人数之比为$\frac{3}{4}$。所有学生的成绩平均分是多少?
Correct Answer: C
Let there be $3x$ students in the morning class and $4x$ students in the afternoon class. The total number of students is $3x + 4x = 7x$. The average is $\frac{3x\cdot84 + 4x\cdot70}{7x}=76$. Therefore, the answer is $\boxed{\textbf{(C)} ~76}$.
设上午班有$3x$名学生,下午班有$4x$名学生。总学生数为$3x + 4x = 7x$。平均分是$\frac{3x\cdot84 + 4x\cdot70}{7x}=76$。因此,答案是$\boxed{\textbf{(C)} ~76}$。
Q7
In a plane, four circles with radii $1,3,5,$ and $7$ are tangent to line $\ell$ at the same point $A,$ but they may be on either side of $\ell$. Region $S$ consists of all the points that lie inside exactly one of the four circles. What is the maximum possible area of region $S$?
在平面上一条直线$\ell$上有四个半径分别为$1,3,5,$和$7$的圆,它们在同一点$A$处与直线$\ell$相切,但可以位于$\ell$的两侧。区域$S$由位于恰好一个圆内部的所有点组成。$S$区域的最大可能面积是多少?
Correct Answer: D
Suppose that line $\ell$ is horizontal, and each circle lies either north or south to $\ell.$ We construct the circles one by one: 1. Without the loss of generality, we draw the circle with radius $7$ north to $\ell.$ 2. To maximize the area of region $S,$ we draw the circle with radius $5$ south to $\ell.$ 3. Now, we need to subtract the circle with radius $3$ at least. The optimal situation is that the circle with radius $3$ encompasses the circle with radius $1,$ in which we do not need to subtract more. That is, the two smallest circles are on the same side of $\ell,$ but can be on either side. The diagram below shows one possible configuration of the four circles: Together, the answer is $\pi\cdot7^2+\pi\cdot5^2-\pi\cdot3^2=\boxed{\textbf{(D) }65\pi}.$
假设直线$\ell$是水平的,每个圆位于$\ell$的北侧或南侧。我们逐一构造圆: 1. 不失一般性,将半径为$7$的圆画在$\ell$的北侧。 2. 为了最大化区域$S$的面积,将半径为$5$的圆画在$\ell$的南侧。 3. 现在,至少需要减去半径为$3$的圆。最优情况是半径为$3$的圆包含半径为$1$的圆,这样无需额外减去。这意味着两个最小圆位于$\ell$的同一侧,但可以是任意侧。 下图展示了一个可能的四个圆的配置: 总面积为$\pi\cdot7^2+\pi\cdot5^2-\pi\cdot3^2=\boxed{\textbf{(D) }65\pi}$。

Q8
Mr. Zhou places all the integers from $1$ to $225$ into a $15$ by $15$ grid. He places $1$ in the middle square (eighth row and eighth column) and places other numbers one by one clockwise, as shown in part in the diagram below. What is the sum of the greatest number and the least number that appear in the second row from the top?
周先生将整数从$1$到$225$放入一个$15$乘$15$的网格中。他将$1$放在中间的方格(第八行第八列),然后顺时针逐一放置其他数字,如下图部分所示。从顶部第二行中出现的最小数和最大数的和是多少?
stem
Correct Answer: A
In the diagram below, the red arrows indicate the progression of numbers. In the second row from the top, the greatest number and the least number are $D$ and $E,$ respectively. Note that the numbers in the yellow cells are consecutive odd perfect squares, as we can prove by induction. By observations, we proceed as follows: \begin{alignat*}{6} A=15^2=225, \ B=13^2=169 \quad &\implies \quad &C &= \hspace{1mm}&&A-14\hspace{1mm} &= 211& \\ \quad &\implies \quad &D &= &&C-1 &= 210& \\ \quad &\implies \quad &E &= &&B-12 &= 157&. \end{alignat*} Therefore, the answer is $D+E=\boxed{\textbf{(A)} ~367}.$
下图中,红色箭头表示数字的递增方向。从顶部第二行中,最大数和最小数分别是$D$和$E$。注意黄色单元格中的数字是连续的奇完全平方数,可通过归纳法证明。 通过观察,我们按以下方式计算: \begin{alignat*}{6} A=15^2=225, \ B=13^2=169 \quad &\implies \quad &C &= \hspace{1mm}&&A-14\hspace{1mm} &= 211& \\ \quad &\implies \quad &D &= &&C-1 &= 210& \\ \quad &\implies \quad &E &= &&B-12 &= 157&. \end{alignat*} 因此,答案是$D+E=\boxed{\textbf{(A)} ~367}$。

Q9
The point $P(a,b)$ in the $xy$-plane is first rotated counterclockwise by $90^\circ$ around the point $(1,5)$ and then reflected about the line $y = -x$. The image of $P$ after these two transformations is at $(-6,3)$. What is $b - a ?$
平面上的点$P(a,b)$先绕点$(1,5)$逆时针旋转$90^\circ$,然后关于直线$y = -x$反射。$P$经过这两个变换后的像位于$(-6,3)$。$b - a$的值是多少?
Correct Answer: D
The final image of $P$ is $(-6,3)$. We know the reflection rule for reflecting over $y=-x$ is $(x,y) \rightarrow (-y, -x)$. So before the reflection and after rotation the point is $(-3,6)$. By definition of rotation, the slope between $(-3,6)$ and $(1,5)$ must be perpendicular to the slope between $(a,b)$ and $(1,5)$. The first slope is $\frac{5-6}{1-(-3)} = \frac{-1}{4}$. This means the slope of $P$ and $(1,5)$ is $4$. Rotations also preserve distance to the center of rotation, and since we only "travelled" up and down by the slope once to get from $(-3,6)$ to $(1,5)$ it follows we shall only use the slope once to travel from $(1,5)$ to $P$. Therefore point $P$ is located at $(1+1, 5+4) = (2,9)$. The answer is $9-2 = 7 = \boxed{\textbf{(D)} ~7}$.
$P$的最终像是$(-6,3)$。关于$y=-x$反射的规则是$(x,y) \rightarrow (-y, -x)$。因此,反射前旋转后的点是$(-3,6)$。 根据旋转定义,$(-3,6)$与$(1,5)$之间的斜率必须与$(a,b)$与$(1,5)$之间的斜率垂直。第一个斜率是$\frac{5-6}{1-(-3)} = \frac{-1}{4}$。因此,$P$与$(1,5)$的斜率是$4$。 旋转还保持到旋转中心的距离,且我们仅沿斜率上下“移动”一次从$(-3,6)$到$(1,5)$,因此从$(1,5)$到$P$也仅使用一次斜率。 因此点$P$位于$(1+1, 5+4) = (2,9)$。答案是$9-2 = 7 = \boxed{\textbf{(D)} ~7}$。
Q10
An inverted cone with base radius $12 \mathrm{cm}$ and height $18 \mathrm{cm}$ is full of water. The water is poured into a tall cylinder whose horizontal base has radius of $24 \mathrm{cm}$. What is the height in centimeters of the water in the cylinder?
一个底面半径$12 \mathrm{cm}$、高$18 \mathrm{cm}$的倒锥体盛满水。水被倒入一个高圆柱体中,该圆柱体的底面半径为$24 \mathrm{cm}$。圆柱体中水的液面高度(厘米)是多少?
Correct Answer: A
The volume of a cone is $\frac{1}{3} \cdot\pi \cdot r^2 \cdot h$ where $r$ is the base radius and $h$ is the height. The water completely fills up the cone so the volume of the water is $\frac{1}{3}\cdot18\cdot144\pi = 6\cdot144\pi$. The volume of a cylinder is $\pi \cdot r^2 \cdot h$ so the volume of the water in the cylinder would be $24\cdot24\cdot\pi\cdot h$. We can equate these two expressions because the water volume stays the same like this $24\cdot24\cdot\pi\cdot h = 6\cdot144\pi$. We get $4h = 6$ and $h=\frac{6}{4}$. So the answer is $\boxed{\textbf{(A)} ~1.5}.$
圆锥的体积是$\frac{1}{3} \cdot\pi \cdot r^2 \cdot h$,其中$r$是底面半径,$h$是高度。水完全充满圆锥,因此水的体积是$\frac{1}{3}\cdot18\cdot144\pi = 6\cdot144\pi$。 圆柱的体积是$\pi \cdot r^2 \cdot h$,因此圆柱中水的体积是$24\cdot24\cdot\pi\cdot h$。 由于水的体积不变,因此$24\cdot24\cdot\pi\cdot h = 6\cdot144\pi$。得到$4h = 6$,$h=\frac{6}{4}$。 因此答案是$\boxed{\textbf{(A)} ~1.5}$。
Q11
Grandma has just finished baking a large rectangular pan of brownies. She is planning to make rectangular pieces of equal size and shape, with straight cuts parallel to the sides of the pan. Each cut must be made entirely across the pan. Grandma wants to make the same number of interior pieces as pieces along the perimeter of the pan. What is the greatest possible number of brownies she can produce?
奶奶刚刚烤好了一大块长方形布朗尼。她计划切成相同大小和形状的长方形小块,使用平行于锅边的直切。每刀必须完全横切锅。奶奶希望内部小块的数量与锅边缘小块的数量相同。她能制作的最大布朗尼数量是多少?
Correct Answer: D
Let the side lengths of the rectangular pan be $m$ and $n$. It follows that $(m-2)(n-2) = \frac{mn}{2}$, since half of the brownie pieces are in the interior. This gives $2(m-2)(n-2) = mn \iff mn - 4m - 4n + 8 = 0$. Adding $8$ to both sides and applying Simon's Favorite Factoring Trick, we obtain $(m-4)(n-4) = 8$. Since $m$ and $n$ are both positive, we obtain $(m, n) = (5, 12), (6, 8)$ (up to ordering). By inspection, $5 \cdot 12 = \boxed{\textbf{(D) }60}$ maximizes the number of brownies.
设长方形锅的边长为$m$和$n$。内部小块数为$(m-2)(n-2)$,总小块数为$mn$,边缘小块数为$mn - (m-2)(n-2)$。题目要求$(m-2)(n-2) = mn/2$,即$2(m-2)(n-2) = mn \iff mn - 4m - 4n + 8 = 0$。两边加8并应用Simon的最爱因式分解技巧,得$(m-4)(n-4) = 8$。由于$m,n$为正整数,得到$(m,n)=(5,12),(6,8)$(顺序交换)。检验,$5 \cdot 12 = \boxed{\textbf{(D) }60}$最大化布朗尼数量。
Q12
Let $N = 34 \cdot 34 \cdot 63 \cdot 270$. What is the ratio of the sum of the odd divisors of $N$ to the sum of the even divisors of $N$?
设$N = 34 \cdot 34 \cdot 63 \cdot 270$。$N$的奇约数之和与偶约数之和的比值为多少?
Correct Answer: C
Prime factorize $N$ to get $N=2^{3} \cdot 3^{5} \cdot 5\cdot 7\cdot 17^{2}$. For each odd divisor $n$ of $N$, there exist even divisors $2n, 4n, 8n$ of $N$, therefore the ratio is $1:(2+4+8)=\boxed{\textbf{(C)} ~1 : 14}$
对$N$进行质因数分解,得$N=2^{3} \cdot 3^{5} \cdot 5\cdot 7\cdot 17^{2}$。对于每个奇约数$n$,存在偶约数$2n,4n,8n$,因此比值为$1:(2+4+8)=\boxed{\textbf{(C)} ~1 : 14}$
Q13
Let $n$ be a positive integer and $d$ be a digit such that the value of the numeral $\underline{32d}$ in base $n$ equals $263$, and the value of the numeral $\underline{324}$ in base $n$ equals the value of the numeral $\underline{11d1}$ in base six. What is $n + d ?$
设$n$为正整数,$d$为一个数字,使得$n$进制数$\underline{32d}$的值等于263,且$n$进制数$\underline{324}$的值等于6进制数$\underline{11d1}$的值。求$n + d$?
Correct Answer: B
We can start by setting up an equation to convert $\underline{32d}$ base $n$ to base 10. To convert this to base 10, it would be $3{n}^2+2n+d.$ Because it is equal to 263, we can set this equation to 263. Finally, subtract $d$ from both sides to get $3{n}^2+2n = 263-d$. We can also set up equations to convert $\underline{324}$ base $n$ and $\underline{11d1}$ base 6 to base 10. The equation to covert $\underline{324}$ base $n$ to base 10 is $3{n}^2+2n+4.$ The equation to convert $\underline{11d1}$ base 6 to base 10 is ${6}^3+{6}^2+6d+1.$ Simplify ${6}^3+{6}^2+6d+1$ so it becomes $6d+253.$ Setting the above equations equal to each other, we have \[3{n}^2+2n+4 = 6d+253.\] Subtracting 4 from both sides gets $3{n}^2+2n = 6d+249.$ We can then use equations \[3{n}^2+2n = 263-d\] \[3{n}^2+2n = 6d+249\] to solve for $d$. Set $263-d$ equal to $6d+249$ and solve to find that $d=2$. Plug $d=2$ back into the equation $3{n}^2+2n = 263-d$. Subtract 261 from both sides to get your final equation of $3{n}^2+2n-261 = 0.$ We solve using the quadratic formula to find that the solutions are $9$ and $-29/3.$ Because the base must be positive, $n=9.$ Adding 2 to 9 gets $\boxed{\textbf{(B)} ~11}$
首先建立$\underline{32d}$从$n$进制转换为10进制的方程:$3n^2 + 2n + d = 263$,即$3n^2 + 2n = 263 - d$。 再建立$\underline{324}$从$n$进制和$\underline{11d1}$从6进制转换为10进制的方程:$3n^2 + 2n + 4 = 6^3 + 6^2 + 6d + 1 = 6d + 253$,即$3n^2 + 2n = 6d + 249$。 联立$3n^2 + 2n = 263 - d$和$3n^2 + 2n = 6d + 249$,得$263 - d = 6d + 249$,解得$d=2$。 代入$3n^2 + 2n = 263 - 2 = 261$,得$3n^2 + 2n - 261 = 0$。用二次公式解得$n=9$或$n=-29/3$,取正整数$n=9$。 则$n + d = 9 + 2 = \boxed{\textbf{(B)} ~11}$
Q14
Three equally spaced parallel lines intersect a circle, creating three chords of lengths $38,38,$ and $34$. What is the distance between two adjacent parallel lines?
三条等距平行线与一个圆相交,形成三条长度分别为38、38和34的弦。相邻两条平行线之间的距离是多少?
Correct Answer: B
Since two parallel chords have the same length ($38$), they must be equidistant from the center of the circle. Let the perpendicular distance of each chord from the center of the circle be $d$. Thus, the distance from the center of the circle to the chord of length $34$ is \[2d + d = 3d\] The distance between each of the chords is $2d$. Let the radius of the circle be $r$. Drawing radii to the points where the lines intersect the circle, we obtain two different right triangles: - One with base $\dfrac{38}{2} = 19$, height $d$, and hypotenuse $r$ ($\triangle RAO$ in the diagram) - Another with base $\dfrac{34}{2} = 17$, height $3d$, and hypotenuse $r$ ($\triangle LBO$ in the diagram) By the Pythagorean theorem, we obtain the following system of equations: \begin{align*} 19^2 + d^2 &= r^2, \\ 17^2 + (3d)^2 &= r^2. \end{align*} That is, \begin{align*} 361 + d^2 &= r^2, \\ 289 + 9d^2 &= r^2. \end{align*} Set the right-hand sides equal: \[ 361 + d^2 = 289 + 9d^2 \] \[ 361 - 289 = 9d^2 - d^2 \] \[ 72 = 8d^2 \] \[ d^2 = 9 \implies d = 3. \] Thus, \[ 2d = 6. \]
由于两条长度为38的平行弦相等,它们距圆心的距离相等,设为$d$。则长度34的弦距圆心的距离为$2d + d = 3d$。 相邻弦间距离为$2d$。设圆半径为$r$。作半径至交点,得两个直角三角形: - 一个底$\frac{38}{2}=19$,高$d$,斜边$r$。 - 另一个底$\frac{34}{2}=17$,高$3d$,斜边$r$。 由勾股定理: \begin{align*} 19^2 + d^2 &= r^2, \\ 17^2 + (3d)^2 &= r^2. \end{align*} 即 \begin{align*} 361 + d^2 &= r^2, \\ 289 + 9d^2 &= r^2. \end{align*} 两式相等:$361 + d^2 = 289 + 9d^2$,$72 = 8d^2$,$d^2 = 9$,$d=3$。 故相邻线间距离$2d=6$。

Q15
The real number $x$ satisfies the equation $x+\frac{1}{x} = \sqrt{5}$. What is the value of $x^{11}-7x^{7}+x^3?$
实数$x$满足方程$x+\frac{1}{x} = \sqrt{5}$。求$x^{11}-7x^{7}+x^3$的值?
Correct Answer: B
We square $x+\frac{1}{x}=\sqrt5$ to get $x^2+2+\frac{1}{x^2}=5$. We subtract 2 on both sides for $x^2+\frac{1}{x^2}=3$ and square again, and see that $x^4+2+\frac{1}{x^4}=9$ so $x^4+\frac{1}{x^4}=7$. We can factor out $x^7$ from our original expression of $x^{11}-7x^7+x^3$ to get that it is equal to $x^7(x^4-7+\frac{1}{x^4})$. Therefore because $x^4+\frac{1}{x^4}$ is 7, it is equal to $x^7(0)=\boxed{\textbf{(B) } 0}$.
平方$x+\frac{1}{x}=\sqrt{5}$得$x^2 + 2 + \frac{1}{x^2} = 5$,即$x^2 + \frac{1}{x^2} = 3$。再平方得$x^4 + 2 + \frac{1}{x^4} = 9$,即$x^4 + \frac{1}{x^4} = 7$。 原式$x^{11} - 7x^7 + x^3 = x^7(x^4 - 7 + \frac{1}{x^4}) = x^7(7 - 7) = x^7 \cdot 0 = \boxed{\textbf{(B) } 0}$。
Q16
Call a positive integer an uphill integer if every digit is strictly greater than the previous digit. For example, $1357, 89,$ and $5$ are all uphill integers, but $32, 1240,$ and $466$ are not. How many uphill integers are divisible by $15$?
称一个正整数为上坡整数,如果每个数字严格大于前一个数字。例如,$1357, 89,$ 和 $5$ 都是上坡整数,但 $32, 1240,$ 和 $466$ 不是。有多少个上坡整数能被 $15$ 整除?
Correct Answer: C
The divisibility rule of $15$ is that the number must be congruent to $0$ mod $3$ and congruent to $0$ mod $5$. Being divisible by $5$ means that it must end with a $5$ or a $0$. We can rule out the case when the number ends with a $0$ immediately because the only integer that is uphill and ends with a $0$ is $0$ which is not positive. So now we know that the number ends with a $5$. Looking at the answer choices, the answer choices are all pretty small, so we can generate all of the numbers that are uphill and are divisible by $3$. These numbers are $15, 45, 135, 345, 1245, 12345$, or $\boxed{\textbf{(C)} ~6}$ numbers.
$15$ 的整除规则是该数必须模 $3$ 同余 $0$ 且模 $5$ 同余 $0$。能被 $5$ 整除意味着它必须以 $5$ 或 $0$ 结尾。我们可以立即排除以 $0$ 结尾的情况,因为唯一以 $0$ 结尾且为上坡的整数是 $0$,它不是正整数。所以现在我们知道该数以 $5$ 结尾。查看答案选项,答案选项都很小,所以我们可以生成所有上坡且能被 $3$ 整除的数。这些数是 $15, 45, 135, 345, 1245, 12345$,共 $\boxed{\textbf{(C)} ~6}$ 个数。

Ravon, Oscar, Aditi, Tyrone, and Kim play a card game. Each person is given $2$ cards out of a set of $10$ cards numbered $1,2,3, \dots,10.$ The score of a player is the sum of the numbers of their cards. The scores of the players are as follows: Ravon--$11,$ Oscar--$4,$ Aditi--$7,$ Tyrone--$16,$ Kim--$17.$ Which of the following statements is true?
Ravon、Oscar、Aditi、Tyrone 和 Kim 玩一个纸牌游戏。每人从编号为 $1,2,3, \dots,10$ 的 $10$ 张牌中获得 $2$ 张牌。玩家的得分是他们牌上数字之和。玩家的得分为:Ravon--$11,$ Oscar--$4,$ Aditi--$7,$ Tyrone--$16,$ Kim--$17$。以下哪个陈述是正确的?
Correct Answer: C
By logical deduction, we consider the scores from lowest to highest: \begin{align*} \text{Oscar's score is 4.} &\implies \text{Oscar is given cards 1 and 3.} \\ &\implies \text{Aditi is given cards 2 and 5.} \\ &\implies \text{Ravon is given cards 4 and 7.} && (\bigstar) \\ &\implies \text{Tyrone is given cards 6 and 10.} \\ &\implies \text{Kim is given cards 8 and 9.} \end{align*} Therefore, the answer is $\boxed{\textbf{(C) }\text{Ravon was given card 4.}}$ Certainly, if we read the answer choices sooner, then we can stop at $(\bigstar)$ and pick $\textbf{(C)}.$
通过逻辑推导,我们按得分从低到高考虑: \begin{align*} \text{Oscar 的得分是 4.} &\implies \text{Oscar 拿到牌 1 和 3.} \\ &\implies \text{Aditi 拿到牌 2 和 5.} \\ &\implies \text{Ravon 拿到牌 4 和 7.} && (\bigstar) \\ &\implies \text{Tyrone 拿到牌 6 和 10.} \\ &\implies \text{Kim 拿到牌 8 和 9.} \end{align*} 因此,答案是 $\boxed{\textbf{(C) }\text{Ravon 拿到了牌 4}}$。 当然,如果我们先阅读答案选项,那么可以在 $(\bigstar)$ 处停止并选择 $\textbf{(C)}$。
Q18
A fair $6$-sided die is repeatedly rolled until an odd number appears. What is the probability that every even number appears at least once before the first occurrence of an odd number?
一个公平的 $6$ 面骰子反复掷直到出现奇数。每个偶数在第一次出现奇数之前至少出现一次的概率是多少?
Correct Answer: C
Since 3 out of 6 of the numbers are even, there is a $\frac36$ chance that the first number we choose is even. Since the number rolled first is irrelevant, we don't have to consider it. Therefore there are 2 even numbers out of the 5 choices left. There is a $\frac{2}{5}$ chance that the next number that is distinct from the first is even. There is a $\frac{1}{4}$ chance that the next number distinct from the first two is even. (There is only one even integer left. ) With all the even integers taken, the next integer rolled must be odd. $\frac{3}{6} \cdot \frac{2}{5} \cdot \frac{1}{4} = \frac{1}{20}$, so the answer is $\boxed{\textbf{(C) }\frac{1}{20}}.$
因为 $6$ 个数字中有 $3$ 个是偶数,所以第一次掷出偶数的概率是 $\frac{3}{6}$。 由于第一次掷出的数字无关紧要,我们不必考虑它。因此剩余 $5$ 个选择中有 $2$ 个偶数。下一个与第一次不同的数字是偶数的概率是 $\frac{2}{5}$。 下一个与前两个不同的数字是偶数的概率是 $\frac{1}{4}$。(只剩下一个偶数了。) 所有偶数都出现后,下一个掷出的数字一定是奇数。 $\frac{3}{6} \cdot \frac{2}{5} \cdot \frac{1}{4} = \frac{1}{20}$,所以答案是 $\boxed{\textbf{(C) }\frac{1}{20}}$。
Q19
Suppose that $S$ is a finite set of positive integers. If the greatest integer in $S$ is removed from $S$, then the average value (arithmetic mean) of the integers remaining is $32$. If the least integer in $S$ is also removed, then the average value of the integers remaining is $35$. If the greatest integer is then returned to the set, the average value of the integers rises to $40$. The greatest integer in the original set $S$ is $72$ greater than the least integer in $S$. What is the average value of all the integers in the set $S$?
假设 $S$ 是一个有限的正整数集合。如果从 $S$ 中移除集合中的最大整数,则剩余整数的平均值(算术平均)是 $32$。如果再移除集合中的最小整数,则剩余整数的平均值是 $35$。如果将最大整数放回集合,则平均值上升到 $40$。原集合 $S$ 中的最大整数比最小整数大 $72$。集合 $S$ 中所有整数的平均值是多少?
Correct Answer: D
We can then say that A+S(n)n+1=32, S(n)n=35, and B+S(n)n+1=40. Expanding gives us A+S(n)=32n+32, S(n)=35n, and B+S(n)=40n+40. Substituting S(n)=35n to all gives us A+35n=32n+32 and B+35n=40n+40. Solving for A and B gives A=−3n+32 and B=5n+40. We now need to find S(n)+A+Bn+2. We substitute everything to get 35n+(−3n+32)+(5n+40)n+2, or 37n+72n+2. Say that the answer to this is Z. Then, Z needs to be a number that makes n a positive integer. The only options that work is $\boxed{\textbf{(C) }36.6}$ and $\boxed{\textbf{(D) }36.8}$. However, if 36.6 is an option, we get n=3. So that means that A is 23 and B is 55, and S(n)=105. But if there is 3 terms, then the middle number is 105, but we said that B is the largest number in the set, so therefore our answer cannot be $\boxed{\textbf{(C) }36.6}$ and is instead $\boxed{\textbf{(D) }36.8}$ and now, we're finished! If A is smaller than B by 72 therefore from the equation on the top you can find out that N=8 using substitution the plug it in to the equation 37n+72n+2 then you will get that Z = $\boxed{\textbf{(D) }36.8}$.
我们可以设 $A+S(n)n+1=32(n+1)$,更准确地说,让 $n$ 是原始集合的大小,$A$ 是最小,$B$ 是最大,$S(n)$ 是其余 $n$ 个数的和,则: $A + S(n) = 32(n+1)$, $S(n) = 35n$, $B + S(n) = 40(n+1)$。 代入 $S(n)=35n$ 得 $A + 35n = 32n + 32$ 所以 $A = -3n + 32$, $B + 35n = 40n + 40$ 所以 $B = 5n + 40$。 原始总和是 $S(n) + A + B = 35n + (-3n + 32) + (5n + 40) = 37n + 72$, 平均值 $Z = \frac{37n + 72}{n+2}$。 此外 $B - A = 72$,即 $(5n + 40) - (-3n + 32) = 8n + 8 = 72$,所以 $8n = 64$,$n=8$。 则 $Z = \frac{37\times8 + 72}{10} = \frac{296 + 72}{10} = \frac{368}{10} = 36.8$。 所以答案是 $\boxed{\textbf{(D) }36.8}$。
Q20
The figure is constructed from $11$ line segments, each of which has length $2$. The area of pentagon $ABCDE$ can be written as $\sqrt{m} + \sqrt{n}$, where $m$ and $n$ are positive integers. What is $m + n ?$
该图形由 $11$ 条长度均为 $2$ 的线段构成。五边形 $ABCDE$ 的面积可以写成 $\sqrt{m} + \sqrt{n}$,其中 $m$ 和 $n$ 是正整数。$m + n$ 等于多少?
stem
Correct Answer: D
Draw diagonals $AC$ and $AD$ to split the pentagon into three parts. We can compute the area for each triangle and sum them up at the end. For triangles $ABC$ and $ADE$, they each have area $2\cdot\frac{1}{2}\cdot\frac{4\sqrt{3}}{4}=\sqrt{3}$. For triangle $ACD$, we can see that $AC=AD=2\sqrt{3}$ and $CD=2$. Using Pythagorean Theorem, the altitude for this triangle is $\sqrt{11}$, so the area is $\sqrt{11}$. Adding each part up, we get $2\sqrt{3}+\sqrt{11}=\sqrt{12}+\sqrt{11} \implies \boxed{\textbf{(D)} ~23}$. Note: Another easier way to find the areas would be to use the formula $A=\frac12ab\sin C$ - erringbubble
画对角线 $AC$ 和 $AD$ 将五边形分成三部分。我们可以计算每个三角形的面积然后求和。对于三角形 $ABC$ 和 $ADE$,每个面积是 $2\cdot\frac{1}{2}\cdot\frac{4\sqrt{3}}{4}=\sqrt{3}$。对于三角形 $ACD$,可见 $AC=AD=2\sqrt{3}$,$CD=2$。用勾股定理,该三角形的高度是 $\sqrt{11}$,面积是 $\sqrt{11}$。相加得 $2\sqrt{3}+\sqrt{11}=\sqrt{12}+\sqrt{11}$,所以 $m+n=12+11=\boxed{\textbf{(D)} ~23}$。 注意:另一种更简单的方法是使用公式 $A=\frac{1}{2}ab\sin C$。

Q21
A square piece of paper has side length $1$ and vertices $A,B,C,$ and $D$ in that order. As shown in the figure, the paper is folded so that vertex $C$ meets edge $\overline{AD}$ at point $C'$, and edge $\overline{BC}$ intersects edge $\overline{AB}$ at point $E$. Suppose that $C'D = \frac{1}{3}$. What is the perimeter of triangle $\bigtriangleup AEC' ?$
一张边长为$1$的正方形纸片,顶点依次为$A,B,C,D$。如图所示,将纸片折叠使顶点$C$与边$\overline{AD}$上的点$C'$重合,且边$\overline{BC}$与边$\overline{AB}$相交于点$E$。已知$C'D=\frac{1}{3}$。求三角形$\bigtriangleup AEC'$的周长。
stem
Correct Answer: A
We can set the point on $CD$ where the fold occurs as point $F$. Then, we can set $FD$ as $x$, and $CF$ as $1-x$ because of symmetry due to the fold. It can be recognized that this is a right triangle, and solving for $x$, we get, \[x^2 + \left(\frac{1}{3}\right)^2 = (1-x)^2 \rightarrow x^2 + \frac{1}{9} = x^2 - 2x + 1 \rightarrow x=\frac{4}{9}\] We know this is a 3-4-5 triangle because the side lengths are $\frac{3}{9}, \frac{4}{9}, \frac{5}{9}$. We also know that $EAC'$ is similar to $C'DF$ because angle $EC'F$ is a right angle. Now, we can use similarity to find out that the perimeter is just the perimeter of $C'DF \times \frac{AC'}{DF}$. That's just $\frac{4}{3} \times \frac{\frac{2}{3}}{\frac{4}{9}} = \frac{4}{3} \times \frac{3}{2} = 2$. Therefore, the final answer is $\boxed{\textbf{(A)} ~2}$
我们可以将折叠发生在$CD$上的点设为$F$。则设$FD=x$,$CF=1-x$,因为折叠的对称性。可以看出这是一个直角三角形,解$x$得, \[x^2 + \left(\frac{1}{3}\right)^2 = (1-x)^2 \rightarrow x^2 + \frac{1}{9} = x^2 - 2x + 1 \rightarrow x=\frac{4}{9}\] 我们知道这是一个3-4-5三角形,因为边长为$\frac{3}{9}, \frac{4}{9}, \frac{5}{9}$。我们还知道$EAC'$与$C'DF$相似,因为$\angle EC'F$是直角。现在,我们可以用相似性来发现周长就是$C'DF$的周长乘以$\frac{AC'}{DF}$。那就是$\frac{4}{3} \times \frac{\frac{2}{3}}{\frac{4}{9}} = \frac{4}{3} \times \frac{3}{2} = 2$。因此,最终答案是$\boxed{\textbf{(A)} ~2}$。
Q22
Ang, Ben, and Jasmin each have $5$ blocks, colored red, blue, yellow, white, and green; and there are $5$ empty boxes. Each of the people randomly and independently of the other two people places one of their blocks into each box. The probability that at least one box receives $3$ blocks all of the same color is $\frac{m}{n}$, where $m$ and $n$ are relatively prime positive integers. What is $m + n ?$
Ang、Ben和Jasmin各有5块积木,颜色分别为红、蓝、黄、白、绿;有5个空盒子。三人独立随机地将各自的一块积木放入每个盒子中。至少有一个盒子收到3块同色积木的概率为$\frac{m}{n}$,其中$m$和$n$互质。求$m+n$?
Correct Answer: D
Let our denominator be $(5!)^3$, so we consider all possible distributions. We use PIE (Principle of Inclusion and Exclusion) to count the successful ones. When we have at $1$ box with all $3$ blocks the same color in that box, there are $_{5} C _{1} \cdot _{5} P _{1} \cdot (4!)^3$ ways for the distributions to occur ($_{5} C _{1}$ for selecting one of the five boxes for a uniform color, $_{5} P _{1}$ for choosing the color for that box, $4!$ for each of the three people to place their remaining items). However, we overcounted those distributions where two boxes had uniform color, and there are $_{5} C _{2} \cdot _{5} P _{2} \cdot (3!)^3$ ways for the distributions to occur ($_{5} C _{2}$ for selecting two of the five boxes for a uniform color, $_{5} P _{2}$ for choosing the color for those boxes, $3!$ for each of the three people to place their remaining items). Again, we need to re-add back in the distributions with three boxes of uniform color... and so on so forth. Our success by PIE is \[_{5} C _{1} \cdot _{5} P _{1} \cdot (4!)^3 - _{5} C _{2} \cdot _{5} P _{2} \cdot (3!)^3 + _{5} C _{3} \cdot _{5} P _{3} \cdot (2!)^3 - _{5} C _{4} \cdot _{5} P _{4} \cdot (1!)^3 + _{5} C _{5} \cdot _{5} P _{5} \cdot (0!)^3 = 120 \cdot 2556.\] \[\frac{120 \cdot 2556}{120^3}=\frac{71}{400},\] yielding an answer of $\boxed{\textbf{(D) }471}$. As In Solution 1, the probability is \[\frac{\binom{5}{1}\cdot 5\cdot (4!)^3 - \binom{5}{2}\cdot 5\cdot 4\cdot (3!)^3 + \binom{5}{3}\cdot 5\cdot 4\cdot 3\cdot (2!)^3 - \binom{5}{4}\cdot 5\cdot 4\cdot 3\cdot 2\cdot (1!)^3 + \binom{5}{5}\cdot 5\cdot 4\cdot 3\cdot 2\cdot 1}{(5!)^3}\] \[= \frac{5\cdot 5\cdot (4!)^3 - 10\cdot 5\cdot 4\cdot (3!)^3 + 10\cdot 5\cdot 4\cdot 3\cdot (2!)^3 - 5\cdot 5! + 5!}{(5!)^3}.\] Dividing by $5!$, we get \[\frac{5\cdot (4!)^2 - 10\cdot (3!)^2 + 10\cdot (2!)^2 - 5 + 1}{(5!)^2}.\] Dividing by $4$, we get \[\frac{5\cdot 6\cdot 24 - 10\cdot 9 + 10 - 1}{30\cdot 120}.\] Dividing by $9$, we get \[\frac{5\cdot 2\cdot 8 - 10 + 1}{10\cdot 40} = \frac{71}{400} \implies \boxed{\textbf{(D) }471}.\]
设分母为$(5!)^3$,考虑所有可能的分配。 我们使用PIE(容斥原理)来计算成功的分配数。 当有$1$个盒子有3块同色积木时,有$\binom{5}{1} \cdot {}_5P_1 \cdot (4!)^3$种方式(选择5个盒子中的一个用于统一颜色${}_5C_1$,选择该盒子的颜色${}_5P_1$,三人放置剩余物品各$4!$)。 但是,我们多计了两个盒子有统一颜色的分配,有$\binom{5}{2} \cdot {}_5P_2 \cdot (3!)^3$种方式(选择两个盒子${}_5C_2$,选择颜色${}_5P_2$,三人放置剩余各$3!$)。 同样,需要加回三个盒子统一颜色的分配……以此类推。 通过PIE的成功数为 \[\binom{5}{1} \cdot {}_5P_1 \cdot (4!)^3 - \binom{5}{2} \cdot {}_5P_2 \cdot (3!)^3 + \binom{5}{3} \cdot {}_5P_3 \cdot (2!)^3 - \binom{5}{4} \cdot {}_5P_4 \cdot (1!)^3 + \binom{5}{5} \cdot {}_5P_5 \cdot (0!)^3 = 120 \cdot 2556.\] \[\frac{120 \cdot 2556}{120^3}=\frac{71}{400},\] 得答案$\boxed{\textbf{(D) }471}$。 如解1,概率为 \[\frac{\binom{5}{1}\cdot 5\cdot (4!)^3 - \binom{5}{2}\cdot 5\cdot 4\cdot (3!)^3 + \binom{5}{3}\cdot 5\cdot 4\cdot 3\cdot (2!)^3 - \binom{5}{4}\cdot 5\cdot 4\cdot 3\cdot 2\cdot (1!)^3 + \binom{5}{5}\cdot 5\cdot 4\cdot 3\cdot 2\cdot 1}{(5!)^3}\] \[= \frac{5\cdot 5\cdot (4!)^3 - 10\cdot 5\cdot 4\cdot (3!)^3 + 10\cdot 5\cdot 4\cdot 3\cdot (2!)^3 - 5\cdot 5! + 5!}{(5!)^3}.\] 除以$5!$,得 \[\frac{5\cdot (4!)^2 - 10\cdot (3!)^2 + 10\cdot (2!)^2 - 5 + 1}{(5!)^2}.\] 除以$4$,得 \[\frac{5\cdot 6\cdot 24 - 10\cdot 9 + 10 - 1}{30\cdot 120}.\] 除以$9$,得 \[\frac{5\cdot 2\cdot 8 - 10 + 1}{10\cdot 40} = \frac{71}{400} \implies \boxed{\textbf{(D) }471}.\]
Q23
A square with side length $8$ is colored white except for $4$ black isosceles right triangular regions with legs of length $2$ in each corner of the square and a black diamond with side length $2\sqrt{2}$ in the center of the square, as shown in the diagram. A circular coin with diameter $1$ is dropped onto the square and lands in a random location where the coin is completely contained within the square. The probability that the coin will cover part of the black region of the square can be written as $\frac{1}{196}\left(a+b\sqrt{2}+\pi\right)$, where $a$ and $b$ are positive integers. What is $a+b$?

stem
Correct Answer: C
To find the probability, we look at the $\frac{\text{success region}}{\text{total possible region}}$. For the coin to be completely contained within the square, we must have the distance from the center of the coin to a side of the square to be at least $\frac{1}{2}$, as it's the radius of the coin. This implies the $\text{total possible region}$ is a square with side length $8 - \frac{1}{2} - \frac{1}{2} = 7$, with an area of $49$. Now, we consider cases where needs to land to partially cover a black region. Near The Center Square We can have the center of the coin land within $\frac{1}{2}$ outside of the center square, or inside of the center square. So, we have a region with $\frac{1}{2}$ emanating from every point on the exterior of the square, forming four quarter circles and four rectangles. The four quarter circles combine to make a full circle of radius $\frac{1}{2}$, so the area is $\frac{\pi}{4}$. The area of a rectangle is $2 \sqrt 2 \cdot \frac{1}{2} = \sqrt 2$, so $4$ of them combine to an area of $4 \sqrt 2$. The area of the black square is simply $\left(2\sqrt 2\right)^2 = 8$. So, for this case, we have a combined total of $8 + 4\sqrt 2 + \frac{\pi}{4}$. Onto the second (and last) case. Near A Triangle We can also have the coin land within $\frac{1}{2}$ outside of one of the triangles. By symmetry, we can just find the successful region for one of them, then multiply by $4$. Consider the above diagram. We can draw an altitude from the bottom corner of the square to hit the hypotenuse of the green triangle. The length of this when passing through the black region is $\sqrt 2$, and when passing through the white region (while being contained in the green triangle) is $\frac{1}{2}$. However, we have to subtract off when it doesn't pass through the red square. Then, it's the hypotenuse of a small isosceles right triangle with side lengths of $\dfrac{1}{2}$ which is $\dfrac{\sqrt{2}}{2}.$ So, the altitude of the green triangle is $\sqrt 2 + \frac{1}{2} - \frac{\sqrt 2}{2} = \frac{\sqrt 2 + 1}{2}$. Then, recall, the area of an isosceles right triangle is $h^2$, where $h$ is the altitude from the right angle. So, squaring this, we get $\frac{3 + 2\sqrt 2}{4}$. Now, we have to multiply this by $4$ to account for all of the black triangles, to get $3 + 2\sqrt 2$ as the final area for this case. Finishing Then, to have the coin touching a black region, we add up the area of our successful regions, or $8 + 4\sqrt 2 + \frac{\pi}{4} + 3 + 2\sqrt 2 = 11 + 6\sqrt 2 + \frac{\pi}{4} = \frac{44 + 24\sqrt 2 + \pi}{4}$. The total region is $49$, so our probability is $\frac{\frac{44 + 24\sqrt 2 + \pi}{4}}{49} = \frac{44 + 24\sqrt 2 + \pi}{196}$, which implies $a+b = 44+24 = 68$. This corresponds to answer choice $\boxed{\textbf{(C)} ~68}$. Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination
为求概率,我们考察$\frac{\text{成功区域}}{\text{总可能区域}}$。为使硬币完全在正方形内,硬币中心到正方形边的距离至少为$\frac{1}{2}$(硬币半径)。因此,总可能区域为边长$8 - \frac{1}{2} - \frac{1}{2} = 7$的正方形,面积$49$。现在,考虑硬币中心落在部分覆盖黑色区域的位置。 中心菱形附近 硬币中心可在中心菱形外$\frac{1}{2}$范围内或内部落。因此,有从菱形外部每个点向外$\frac{1}{2}$的区域,形成四个四分之一圆和四个矩形。四个四分之一圆合成一个半径$\frac{1}{2}$的圆,面积$\frac{\pi}{4}$。矩形面积$2 \sqrt 2 \cdot \frac{1}{2} = \sqrt 2$,四个共$4 \sqrt 2$。黑色菱形面积$(2\sqrt 2)^2 = 8$。此例总计$8 + 4\sqrt 2 + \frac{\pi}{4}$。 三角形附近 硬币中心也可落在任一三角形外$\frac{1}{2}$范围内。由对称性,计算一个三角形的成功区域乘以$4$。考虑图。从正方形底角到绿色三角形斜边的垂线穿过黑色区域长度$\sqrt 2$,穿过白色区域(仍在绿色三角形内)为$\frac{1}{2}$。但需减去不穿过红色正方形的部分,即边长$\frac{1}{2}$的小等腰直角三角形的斜边$\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}$。绿色三角形垂足高度为$\sqrt 2 + \frac{1}{2} - \frac{\sqrt 2}{2} = \frac{\sqrt 2 + 1}{2}$。等腰直角三角形面积为垂足高度$h$的$h^2$,平方得$\frac{3 + 2\sqrt 2}{4}$。乘以$4$得$3 + 2\sqrt 2$。 求和 成功区域总面积$8 + 4\sqrt 2 + \frac{\pi}{4} + 3 + 2\sqrt 2 = 11 + 6\sqrt 2 + \frac{\pi}{4} = \frac{44 + 24\sqrt 2 + \pi}{4}$。总区域$49$,概率$\frac{\frac{44 + 24\sqrt 2 + \pi}{4}}{49} = \frac{44 + 24\sqrt 2 + \pi}{196}$,故$a+b = 44+24 = 68$。对应答案$\boxed{\textbf{(C)} ~68}$。
Q24
Arjun and Beth play a game in which they take turns removing one brick or two adjacent bricks from one "wall" among a set of several walls of bricks, with gaps possibly creating new walls. The walls are one brick tall. For example, a set of walls of sizes $4$ and $2$ can be changed into any of the following by one move: $(3,2),(2,1,2),(4),(4,1),(2,2),$ or $(1,1,2).$ Arjun plays first, and the player who removes the last brick wins. For which starting configuration is there a strategy that guarantees a win for Beth?

Correct Answer: E
We say that a game state is an N-position if it is winning for the next player (the player to move), and a P-position if it is winning for the other player. We are trying to find which of the given states is a P-position. First we note that symmetrical positions are P-positions, as the second player can win by mirroring the first player's moves. It follows that $(6, 1, 1)$ is an N-position, since we can win by moving to $(2, 2, 1, 1)$; this rules out $\textbf{(A)}$. We next look at $(6, 2, 1)$. The possible next states are \[(6, 2), (6, 1, 1), (6, 1), (5, 2, 1), (4, 2, 1, 1), (4, 2, 1), (3, 2, 2, 1), (3, 2, 1, 1), (2, 2, 2, 1).\] None of these are symmetrical, so we might reasonably suspect that they are all N-positions. Indeed, it just so happens that for all of these states except $(6, 2)$ and $(6, 1)$, we can win by moving to $(2, 2, 1, 1)$; it remains to check that $(6, 2)$ and $(6, 1)$ are N-positions. To save ourselves work, it would be nice if we could find a single P-position directly reachable from both $(6, 2)$ and $(6, 1)$. We notice that $(3, 2, 1)$ is directly reachable from both states, so it would suffice to show that $(3, 2, 1)$ is a P-position. Indeed, the possible next states are \[(3, 2), (3, 1, 1), (3, 1), (2, 2, 1), (2, 1, 1, 1), (2, 1, 1),\] which allow for the following refutations: \begin{align*} &(3, 2) \to (2, 2), && &&(3, 1, 1) \to (1, 1, 1, 1), && &&(3, 1) \to (1, 1), \\ &(2, 2, 1) \to (2, 2), && &&(2, 1, 1, 1) \to (1, 1, 1, 1), && &&(2, 1, 1) \to (1, 1). \end{align*} Hence, $(3, 2, 1)$ is a P-position, so $(6, 2)$ and $(6, 1)$ are both N-positions, along with all other possible next states from $(6, 2, 1)$ as noted before. Thus, $(6, 2, 1)$ is a P-position, so our answer is $\boxed{\textbf{(B)}}$.
我们称游戏状态为N-位(下一玩家胜)或P-位(前玩家胜)。我们寻找给定位中的P-位。 首先,对称位置为P-位,二玩家可镜像获胜。故$(6, 1, 1)$为N-位,可移至$(2, 2, 1, 1)$,排除$\textbf{(A)}$。接下来$(6, 2, 1)$,可能后继状态为 \[(6, 2), (6, 1, 1), (6, 1), (5, 2, 1), (4, 2, 1, 1), (4, 2, 1), (3, 2, 2, 1), (3, 2, 1, 1), (2, 2, 2, 1).\] 这些均不对称,故疑为N-位。事实上,除$(6, 2)$和$(6, 1)$外,均可移至$(2, 2, 1, 1)$胜;余下需证$(6, 2)$和$(6, 1)$为N-位。 注意到$(3, 2, 1)$可由两者直达,若$(3, 2, 1)$为P-位即可。$(3, 2, 1)$后继为 \[(3, 2), (3, 1, 1), (3, 1), (2, 2, 1), (2, 1, 1, 1), (2, 1, 1),\] 反驳如下: \begin{align*} &(3, 2) \to (2, 2), && &&(3, 1, 1) \to (1, 1, 1, 1), && &&(3, 1) \to (1, 1), \\ &(2, 2, 1) \to (2, 2), && &&(2, 1, 1, 1) \to (1, 1, 1, 1), && &&(2, 1, 1) \to (1, 1). \end{align*} 故$(3, 2, 1)$为P-位,$(6, 2)$和$(6, 1)$为N-位,故$(6, 2, 1)$所有后继为N-位,$(6, 2, 1)$为P-位,答案$\boxed{\textbf{(B)}}$。
Q25
Let $S$ be the set of lattice points in the coordinate plane, both of whose coordinates are integers between $1$ and $30,$ inclusive. Exactly $300$ points in $S$ lie on or below a line with equation $y=mx.$ The possible values of $m$ lie in an interval of length $\frac ab,$ where $a$ and $b$ are relatively prime positive integers. What is $a+b?$
设$S$为坐标平面中坐标均为1到30(包含)整数的格点。恰有$300$个$S$中的点位于直线$y=mx$上或下方。$m$的可能值位于长度为$\frac ab$的区间,其中$a$和$b$互质。求$a+b$?
Correct Answer: E
First, we find a numerical representation for the number of lattice points in $S$ that are under the line $y=mx.$ For any value of $x,$ the highest lattice point under $y=mx$ is $\lfloor mx \rfloor.$ Because every lattice point from $(x, 1)$ to $(x, \lfloor mx \rfloor)$ is under the line, the total number of lattice points under the line is $\sum_{x=1}^{30}(\lfloor mx \rfloor).$ Now, we proceed by finding lower and upper bounds for $m.$ To find the lower bound, we start with an approximation. If $300$ lattice points are below the line, then around $\frac{1}{3}$ of the area formed by $S$ is under the line. By using the formula for a triangle's area, we find that when $x=30, y \approx 20.$ Solving for $m$ assuming that $(30, 20)$ is a point on the line, we get $m = \frac{2}{3}.$ Plugging in $m$ to $\sum_{x=1}^{30}(\lfloor mx \rfloor),$ we get: \[\sum_{x=1}^{30}(\lfloor \frac{2}{3}x \rfloor) = 0 + 1 + 2 + 2 + 3 + \cdots + 18 + 18 + 19 + 20\] We have a repeat every $3$ values (every time $y=\frac{2}{3}x$ goes through a lattice point). Thus, we can use arithmetic sequences to calculate the value above: \[\sum_{x=1}^{30}(\lfloor \frac{2}{3}x \rfloor) = 0 + 1 + 2 + 2 + 3 + \cdots + 18 + 18 + 19 + 20\]\[=\frac{20(21)}{2} + 2 + 4 + 6 + \cdots + 18\]\[=210 + \frac{20}{2}\cdot 9\]\[=300\] This means that $\frac{2}{3}$ is a possible value of $m.$ Furthermore, it is the lower bound for $m.$ This is because $y=\frac{2}{3}x$ goes through many points (such as $(21, 14)$). If $m$ was lower, $y=mx$ would no longer go through some of these points, and there would be less than $300$ lattice points under it. Now, we find an upper bound for $m.$ Imagine increasing $m$ slowly and rotating the line $y=mx,$ starting from the lower bound of $m=\frac{2}{3}.$The upper bound for $m$ occurs when $y=mx$ intersects a lattice point again (look at this problem to get a better idea of what's happening: https://artofproblemsolving.com/wiki/index.php/2011_AMC_10B_Problems/Problem_24). In other words, we are looking for the first $m > \frac{2}{3}$ that is expressible as a ratio of positive integers $\frac{p}{q}$ with $q \le 30.$ For each $q=1,\dots,30$, the smallest multiple of $\frac{1}{q}$ which exceeds $\frac{2}{3}$ is $1, \frac{2}{2}, \frac{3}{3}, \frac{3}{4}, \frac{4}{5}, \cdots , \frac{19}{27}, \frac{19}{28}, \frac{20}{29}, \frac{21}{30}$ respectively, and the smallest of these is $\frac{19}{28}.$ Alternatively, see the method of finding upper bounds in solution 2. The lower bound is $\frac{2}{3}$ and the upper bound is $\frac{19}{28}.$ Their difference is $\frac{1}{84},$ so the answer is $1 + 84 = \boxed{85}.$
首先,求$S$中线$y=mx$下格点数。对于任$x$,最高格点为$\lfloor mx \rfloor$。从$(x, 1)$到$(x, \lfloor mx \rfloor)$均在下方,总数$\sum_{x=1}^{30}(\lfloor mx \rfloor)$。 求$m$的下上界。$300$点约占$S$面积$\frac{1}{3}$。三角形面积公式,$x=30$时$y\approx 20$,$m=\frac{2}{3}$。代入 \[\sum_{x=1}^{30}(\lfloor \frac{2}{3}x \rfloor) = 0 + 1 + 2 + 2 + 3 + \cdots + 18 + 18 + 19 + 20\] 每3值重复,利用等差数列: \[=\frac{20(21)}{2} + 2 + 4 + 6 + \cdots + 18 =210 + \frac{20}{2}\cdot 9=300\] 故$\frac{2}{3}$为可能值,且为下界。因$y=\frac{2}{3}x$过许多格点如$(21,14)$,$m$更小则少于$300$点。 上界:从$m=\frac{2}{3}$起增$m$,旋转直线,至下个过格点的$m$(参考2011 AMC 10B Problem 24)。即首大于$\frac{2}{3}$的$\frac{p}{q}$,$q\le30$。对$q=1..30$,最小超过者为$1, \frac{2}{2}, \frac{3}{3}, \frac{3}{4}, \frac{4}{5}, \cdots , \frac{19}{27}, \frac{19}{28}, \frac{20}{29}, \frac{21}{30}$,最小$\frac{19}{28}$。 下界$\frac{2}{3}$,上界$\frac{19}{28}$,差$\frac{1}{84}$,答案$1 + 84 = \boxed{85}$。
