The formula for the sum of the first even numbers, is
, (E standing for even).
Sum of first odd numbers, is
, (O standing for odd).
Knowing this, plug for
,
.
We can use the sum and product of a quadratic:
Thus the answer is .
Another way to think of it is that a cube missing one face has of its
faces. Since the shape has
faces already, we need another face. The only way to add another face is if the added square does not overlap any of the others.
,
, and
overlap, while squares
to
do not. The answer is
Therefore, .
To solve this matrix equation, we can rearrange it thus:
Solving this matrix equation by using inverse matrices and matrix multiplication yields
Which means that ,
, and
. Therefore,
The largest possible value of is
.
So, the sum of the digits of is
So the answer is .
Dividing both sides by ,
,
we see by Vieta's formulas that the sum of the roots is .
The area of the triangle is .
So the shaded area is .
Pat needs to select more cookies that are either oatmeal or peanut butter.
The assortments are: assortments.
Pat selects chocolate chip cookies:

Pat needs to select more cookies that are either oatmeal or peanut butter.
The only assortment is: assortment.
The total number of assortments of cookies that can be collected is
There is a much faster way to do casework.
Case 1: 1 type of cookie - 3 ways
Case 2: 2 types of cookies - 3 ways to choose the 2 types of cookies, and 5 ways to choose how of each there are 1 and 5 2 and 4 3 and 3 4 and 2 5 and 1
cases for case 2
Case 3: 3 types of cookies - quick examination shows us that the only ways to use all three cookies are the following: 4, 1, 1: this gives us 3!/2!*1! = 3 ways 3, 2, 1: this gives us 3! = 6 ways 2, 2, 2: this gives us 1 way total of 10 cases for this case 10+15+3= total
It is given that it is possible to select at least 6 of each. Therefore, we can make a bijection to the number of ways to divide the six choices into three categories, since it is assumed that their order is unimportant. Using the ball and urns/sticks and stones/stars and bars formula, the number of ways to do this is
Suppose the six cookies to be chosen are the stars, as we attempt to implement stars and bars. We take two dividers, and place them between the cookies, such that the six cookies are split into 3 groups, where the groups are the number of chocolate chip, oatmeal, and peanut butter cookies, and each group can have 0. First, assume that the two dividers cannot go in between the same two cookies. By stars and bars, there are ways to make the groups.
Finally, since the two dividers can be together, we must add those cases where the two dividers are in the same space between cookies. There are 7 spaces, and hence 7 cases.
Our final answer is
.
So .

Therefore .
Since is a rectangle,

Since is a rectangle,

So, is a transversal, and
.
This is sufficient to prove that and
.
Using ratios:
Since can't have 2 different lengths, both expressions for
must be equal.
Since is a rectangle,
,
, and
. From the Pythagorean Theorem,
.
Statement:
Proof: , obviously.
Since two angles of the triangles are equal, the third angles must equal each other. Therefore, the triangles are similar.
Let .
Also, , therefore
We can multiply both sides by to get that
is twice of 10, or
We extend such that it intersects
at
. Since
is a rectangle, it follows that
, therefore,
. Let
. From the similarity of triangles
and
, we have the ratio
(as
, and
).
and
are the altitudes of
and
, respectively. Thus,
, from which we have
, thus
Since and
we have
Thus,
Suppose
and
Thus, we have
Additionally, now note that
which is pretty obvious from insight, but can be proven by AA with extending
to meet
From this new pair of similar triangles, we have
Therefore, we have by combining those two equations,
Solving, we have
and therefore
Experimenting a bit we find that the number of toothpicks needs a triangle with ,
and
rows is
,
and
respectively. Since
,
and
are triangular numbers we know that depending on how many rows there are in the triangle, the number we multiply by
to find total no.toothpicks is the corresponding triangular number. Since the triangle in question has
rows, we can use
to find the triangular number for that row and multiply by
, hence finding the total no.toothpicks; this is just
.
This yields the following arrangement from top to bottom:
Therefore, the sum of the numbers on the middle three cards is .
Let equal
, where
through
are digits. Therefore,
We now take :
The divisor trick for 11 is as follows:
"Let be an
digit integer. If
is divisible by
, then
is also divisible by
."
Therefore, the five digit number is divisible by 11. The 5-digit multiples of 11 range from
to
. There are
divisors of 11 between those inclusive.
Since is a quotient and
is a remainder when
is divided by
. So we have
. Since we are counting choices where
is divisible by
, we have
for some
. This means that
is the sum of two multiples of
and would thus itself be a multiple of
. Then we can count all the five digit multiples of
as in Solution 2. (This solution is essentially the same as Solution 2, but it does not necessarily involve mods and so could potentially be faster.)
