Letting be the nth partial sum of the sequence:
The only possible sequence with this result is the sequence of odd integers.
Letting the sum of the sequence equal yields the following two equations:
and
.
Therefore:
and
Hence, by substitution,
We need only concern ourselves with the imaginary portions of and
(both of which must be 0). These are:
Let and
then we know
and
Therefore
which reaches its minimum
when
by the Trivial Inequality. Thus, the answer is
Since and
are both real we get,
Solving, we get ,
can be anything, to minimize the value we set
, so then the answer is
. Thus, the answer is
Circles centered at and
will overlap if
and
are closer to each other than if the circles were tangent. The circles are tangent when the distance between their centers is equal to the sum of their radii. Thus, the distance from
to
will be
. Since
and
are separated by
vertically, they must be separated by
horizontally. Thus, if
, the circles intersect.
Now, plot the two random variables and
on the coordinate plane. Each variable ranges from
to
. The circles intersect if the variables are within
of each other. Thus, the area in which the circles don't intersect is equal to the total area of two small triangles on opposite corners, each of area
. We conclude the probability the circles intersect is:
Two circles intersect if the distance between their centers is less than the sum of their radii. In this problem, and
intersect iff
In other words, the two chosen -coordinates must differ by no more than
. To find this probability, we divide the problem into cases:
1) is on the interval
. The probability that
falls within the desired range for a given
is
(on the left)
(on the right) all over
(the range of possible values). The total probability for this range is the sum of all these probabilities of
(over the range of
) divided by the total range of
(which is
). Thus, the total probability for this interval is
2)
is on the interval
. In this case, any value of
will do, so the probability for the interval is simply
.
3) is on the interval
. This is identical, by symmetry, to case 1.
The total probability is therefore
We first calculate the probability that the circles at are their maximum possible distance while still intersecting. Since the difference in heights is 1, and the two radii add up to 2 (at their point of tangency), we can see that the maximum possible distance for the two centers is . If we look at possible placements for the lower point, we see that at placement
there is exactly
of space wherein we can put the top point. Similarly, at point
we can put the top point anywhere, resulting in
of space. If one looks at a diagram (which I can't put here), we can see that the space available for the top point increases linearly from
to
. From then on to
it stops at
(this is symmetric for the other half of placements). If one draws a plot of the space available (which I again can't show here) with x determined by the x-value of the bottom point and y determined by space available for the top point, we notice two things: first, since for each (theoretically infinitesimally) small x-slice there is a line segment determining how much space there is available, if we sum up all of the line segments and divide by the total space (technically speaking by enumerating all the valid combinations and dividing by all of the general combinations), we will end up with a plot that looks like a rectangle with two small triangles cut out of it. Two, that since this is symmetric, we can just focus on the first half as the ratio of valid to total is the same. We see that the rectangle has a height of
and a width of
, thus its area is 2. The triangle's height is
, and its width is the same thus its area is
=>
. Now we simply subtract to obtain
is the valid area, thus
is our solution.
Every factor of will be of the form
. Using the logarithmic property
, it suffices to count the total number of 2's and 5's running through all possible
. For every factor
, there will be another
, so it suffices to count the total number of 2's occurring in all factors (because of this symmetry, the number of 5's will be equal). And since
, the final sum will be the total number of 2's occurring in all factors of
.
There are choices for the exponent of 5 in each factor, and for each of those choices, there are
factors (each corresponding to a different exponent of 2), yielding
total 2's. The total number of 2's is therefore
. Plugging in our answer choices into this formula yields 11 (answer choice
) as the correct answer.
We are givenThe property
now gives
The product of the divisors is (from elementary number theory)
where
is the number of divisors. Note that
, so
. Substituting these values with
in our equation above, we get
, from whence we immediately obtain
as the correct answer.
For every divisor of
,
, we have
. There are
divisors of
that are
. After casework on the parity of
, we find that the answer is given by
.
The sum isTrying for answer choices we get
Let . We need to rewrite the recursion into something manageable. The two strange conditions,
's lie on the graph of
and
is an equilateral triangle, can be compacted as follows:
which uses
, where
is the height of the equilateral triangle and therefore
times its base.
The relation above holds for and for
, so
Or,
This implies that each segment of a successive triangle is
more than the last triangle. To find
, we merely have to plug in
into the aforementioned recursion and we have
. Knowing that
is
, we can deduce that
.Thus,
, so
. We want to find
so that
.
is our answer.
Consider two adjacent equilateral triangles obeying the problem statement. For each, drop an altitude to the axis and denote the resulting heights
and
. From 30-60-90 rules, the difference between the base of these altitudes is
But the square root curve means that this distance is also expressible as (the
coordinates are the squares of the heights). Setting these expressions equal and dividing throughout by
leaves
. So the difference in height of successive triangles is
, meaning their bases are
wider and wider each time. From here, one can proceed as in Solution 1 to arrive at
.
Since ,
, and they share
, triangles
and
are congruent.
By the same reasoning, we also have that triangles and
are congruent.
Hence, we have .
If we let the height of the trapezoid be , we have
.
Thusly, if we find the height of the trapezoid and multiply it by 12, we will be done.
Let the projections of and
to
be
and
, respectively.
We have ,
, and
.
Therefore, . Solving this, we easily get that
.
Multiplying this by 12, we find that the area of hexagon is
, which corresponds to answer choice
.
Since point is the intersection of the angle bisectors of
and
,
is equidistant from
,
, and
. Likewise, point
is equidistant from
,
, and
. Because both points
and
are equidistant from
and
and the distance between
and
is constant, the common distances from each of the points to the mentioned segments is equal for
and
. Call this distance
.
The distance between a point and a line is the length of the segment perpendicular to the line with one endpoint on the line and the other on the point. This means the altitude from to
is
, so the area of
is equal to
. Similarly, the area of
is
. The altitude of the trapezoid is
, because it is the sum of the distances from either
or
to
and
. This means the area of trapezoid
is
. Now, the area of hexagon
is the area of trapezoid
, minus the areas of triangles
and
. This is
. Now it remains to find
.
We let and
be the feet of the altitudes of
and
, respectively, to
. We define
and
. We know that
, so
and
. By the Pythagorean Theorem on
and
, we get
and
, respectively. Subtracting the second equation from the first gives us
. The left hand side of this equation is a difference of squares and factors to
. We know that
, so
. Now we can solve for
by adding the two equations we just got to see that
, or
.
We now solve for . We know that
, so
and
. We multiply both sides of this equation by
to get
. However, the area of hexagon
is
, so the answer is
, or answer choice
.
Let respectively. Since
we have
similarly we get
Thus,
is both an angle bisector and altitude of
so
Using the same logic on
gives
is a rhombus; similarly,
is a rhombus. Then,
where
is the height of trapezoid
Finding
is the same as finding the altitude to the side of length
in a
triangle, and using Heron's, the area of such a triangle is
Multiply to get our answer if
Like above solutions, find out the height of is
Let
be the intersection of the line through
and parallel to

midpoint of
Then from midline theorem,
are collinear, and likewise for
Thus, the line through
is in fact the midline of
Let Then, angle chasing shows that
not only bisects
but is also perpendicular to it. This makes it a perpendicular bisector. The same is true for
and
Thus,
and
This means
We can now find
as the midline of
