A quadratic equation always has two roots, unless it has a double root. That means we can write the quadratic as a square, and the coefficients 4 and 9 suggest this. Completing the square, , so
. The sum of these is
.
Another method would be to use the quadratic formula, since our coefficient is given as 4, the
coefficient is
and the constant term is
. Hence,
Because we want only a single solution for
, the determinant must equal 0. Therefore, we can write
which factors to
; using Vieta's formulas we see that the sum of the solutions for
is the opposite of the coefficient of
, or
.
Using the discriminant, the result must equal .
Therefore,
or
, giving a sum of
.
Let the digits be so that

depends on the value of both
and
and is unique for each
. Thus our answer is
.
Thus, the three digits form an arithmetic sequence.
Common difference | Sequences possible | Number of sequences |
1 | ![]() |
8 |
2 | ![]() |
6 |
3 | ![]() |
4 |
4 | ![]() |
2 |
This gives us . However, the question asks for three-digit numbers, so we have to ignore the four sequences starting with
. Thus our answer is
.
Let the terms in the arithmetic sequence be ,
,
,
, and
. We seek the middle term
.
These five terms are ,
,
,
, and
, in some order. The numbers
,
,
,
, and
are equal to 3, 5, 6, 7, and 9, in some order, so
Hence, the sum of the five terms is
But adding all five numbers, we also get
, so
Dividing both sides by 5, we get
, which is the middle term. The answer is (D).
Thus the answer is .
Notice that the bases of both triangles are diameters of the circle. Hence the ratio of the areas is just the ratio of the heights of the triangles, or (
is the foot of the perpendicular from
to
).
Call the radius . Then
,
. Using the Pythagorean Theorem in
, we get
.
Now we have to find . Notice
, so we can write the proportion:
By the Pythagorean Theorem in , we have

Our answer is .
Let the center of the circle be .

Let be the radius of the circle. Note that
so
.
By Power of a Point Theorem, , and thus
Then the area of is
. Similarly, the area of
is
, so the desired ratio is
Let the center of the circle be . Without loss of generality, let the radius of the circle be equal to
. Thus,
and
. As a consequence of
,
and
. Also, we know that
and
are both equal to
due to the fact that they are both radii. Thus from the Pythagorean Theorem, we have DC being equal to
or
. Now we know that the area of
is equal to
or
. Know we need to find the area of
. By simple inspection
due to angles being equal and CPCTC. Thus
and
. Know we know the area of
or
. We also know that the area of
or
. Thus the area of
or
. We also can calculate the area of
to be
or
. Thus
is equal to
+
or
or
. The ratio between
and

or
.
We will use the shoelace formula. Our origin is the center of the circle. Denote the ordered pair for , and notice how
is a 180 degree rotation of
, using the rotation matrix formula we get
. WLOG say that this circle has radius
. We can now find points
,
, and
which are
,
, and
respectively. By shoelace the area of
is
, and the area of
is
. Using division we get that the answer is
.
We set point as a mass of 2. This means that point
has a mass of
since
. This implies that point
has a mass of
and the center of the circle has a mass of
. After this, we notice that points
and
both must have a mass of
since
and they are both radii of the circle.
To find the ratio of the areas, we do the reciprocal of the multiplication of the mass points of DCE and the multiplication of ABD divided by each other. Which is simply which is
(the reciprocal of 3)
Quite obviously , so
and
.
Substituting, we find that our answer is .
We find the number of numbers with a and subtract from
. Quick counting tells us that there are
numbers with a 4 in the hundreds place,
numbers with a 4 in the tens place, and
numbers with a 4 in the units place (counting
). Now we apply the Principle of Inclusion-Exclusion. There are
numbers with a 4 in the hundreds and in the tens, and
for both the other two intersections. The intersection of all three sets is just
. So we get:
Alternatively, consider that counting without the number is almost equivalent to counting in base
; only, in base
, the number
is not counted. Since
is skipped, the symbol
represents
miles of travel, and we have traveled
miles. By basic conversion,
For the two functions and
,as long as
is between
and
,
will be in the right domain, so we don't need to worry about the domain of
.
Also, every time we change , the expression for the final answer in terms of
will be in a different form(although they'll all satisfy the final equation), so we get a different starting value of
. Every time we have two choices for
) and altogether we have to choose
times. Thus,
.
Note: the values of x that satisfy are
,
,
,
,
.
We are given that . Thus,
. Let
be equal to
. Thus
or
or
. Now we know
is equal to
or
. Now we know that
or
. Now we solve for
and let
. Thus
is equal to
,
,
,and
. As we see,
has 1 solution,
has 2 solutions, and
has 4 solutions. Thus for each iteration we double the number of possible solutions. There are 2005 iterations and thus the number of solutions is
.
Since and
,
. Thus,
, so
.
Hence, we conclude ,
, and
must each be
,
, or
. Since a quadratic is uniquely determined by three points, there can be
different quadratics
after each of the values of
,
, and
are chosen.
However, we have included which are not quadratics: lines. Namely,
Clearly, we could not have included any other constant functions. For any linear function, we have because
is y-value of the midpoint of
and
. So we have not included any other linear functions. Therefore, the desired answer is
.
For this solution, we will just find as many solutions as possible, until it becomes intuitive that there are no more size of triangles left.
First, try to make three of its vertices form an equilateral triangle. This we find is possible by taking any vertex, and connecting the three adjacent vertices into a triangle. This triangle will have a side length of ; a quick further examination of this cube will show us that this is the only possible side length (red triangle in diagram). Each of these triangles is determined by one vertex of the cube, so in one cube we have 8 equilateral triangles. We have 8 unit cubes, and then the entire cube (green triangle), giving us 9 cubes and
equilateral triangles.
Now, we look for any additional equilateral triangles. Connecting the midpoints of three non-adjacent, non-parallel edges also gives us more equilateral triangles (blue triangle). Notice that picking these three edges leaves two vertices alone (labelled A and B), and that picking any two opposite vertices determine two equilateral triangles. Hence there are of these equilateral triangles, for a total of
.
The three-dimensional distance formula shows that the lengths of the equilateral triangle must be , which yields the possible edge lengths of
