geometric images of a complex equation
martianrunner   4
N 7 minutes ago by Mathzeus1024
Source: A-Z Complex Numbers

Find the geometric images of the complex numbers z such that $$\left|z+\frac{1}{z}\right|=2$$
I don't really know how to approach this problem; a hint would be appreciated.

1. One hundred concentric circles are labelled $C_1,C_2,C_3,...,C_{100}.$ Each circle $C_n$ is inscribed within an equilateral triangle whose vertices are points on $C_{n+1}.$ Given $C_1$ has a radius of $1,$ what is the radius of $C_{100}$?

2. An infinite geometric sequence with common ratio $r$ sums to $91.$ A new sequence starting with the same term has common ratio $r^3.$ The sum of the new sequence produced is $81.$ What was the common ratio of the original sequence?

3. Let $A,B,C,D,$ and $E$ be five equally spaced points on a line in that order. Let $F,G,H,$ and $I$ all be on the same side of line $AE$ such that triangles $AFB,BGC,CHD,$ and $EID$* are equilateral with side length $1.$ Let $S$ be the region consisting of the interiors of all four triangles. Compute the length of segment $AI$ that is contained in $S.$

4. If $5f(x)-xf\left(\frac1x\right)=\frac{1}{17}x^2,$ determine $f(3).$

5. How many ways are there to arrange $1,2,3,4,5,6$ such that no two consecutive numbers have the same remainder when divided by $3$?

6. Joshua is playing with his number cards. He has $9$ cards of $9$ lined up in a row. He puts a multiplication sign between two of the $9$s and calculates the product of the two strings of $9$s. For example, one possible result is $999\times999999 = 998999001.$ Let $S$ be the sum of all possible distinct results (note that $999\times999999$ yields the same result as $999999\times999$). What is the sum of digits of $S$?

7. Bruno the Bear is tasked to organize $16$ identical brown balls into $7$ bins labeled $1-7$. He must distribute the balls among the bins so that each odd-labeled bin contains an odd number of balls, and each even-labeled bin contains an even number of balls (with $0$ considered even). In how many ways can Bruno do this?

8. Let $f(n)$ be the number obtained by increasing every prime factor in $f$ by one. For instance, $f(12)=(2+1)^2(3+1)=36.$ What is the lowest $n$ such that $6^{2025}$ divides $f^{(n)}(2025),$ where $f^{(n)}$ denotes the $n$th iteration of $f$?

9. How many positive integer divisors of $63^{10}$ do not end in a $1$?

10. Bruno is throwing a party and invites $n$ guests. Each pair of party guests are either friends or enemies. Each guest has exactly $12$ enemies. All guests believe the following: the friend of an enemy is an enemy. Calculate the sum of all possible values of $n.$ (Please note: Bruno is not a guest at his own party)

11. In acute $\triangle ABC$, let $D$ be the foot of the altitude from $A$ to $BC$ and $O$ be the circumcenter. Suppose that the area of $\triangle ABD$ is equal to the area of $\triangle AOC.$ Given that $OD = 2$ and $BD = 3,$ compute $AD.$

12. Alice has $10$ gifts $g_1,g_2,...,g_{10}$ and $10$ friends $f_1,f_2,...,f_{10}.$ Gift $g_i$ can be given to friend $f_j$ if
\[i -j =-1,0, \text{ or } 1 \pmod{10}\]How many ways are there for Alice to pair the $10$ gifts with the $10$ friends such that each friend receives one gift?

13. Let $\triangle ABC$ be an equilateral triangle with side length $1.$ A real number $d$ is selected uniformly
at random from the open interval $(0,0.5).$ Points $E$ and $F$ lie on sides $AC$ and $AB,$ respectively, such that $AE=d$ and $AF=1-d.$ Let $D$ be the intersection of lines $BE$ and $CF.$ Consider line $\ell$ passing through both points of intersection of the circumcircles of triangles $\triangle DEF$ and $\triangle DBC.$ $O$ is the circumcenter of $\triangle DEF.$ Line $\ell$ intersects line $\overline{BC}$ at point $P,$ and point $Q$ lies on $AP$ such that $\angle AQB=120^\circ.$ What is the probability that the line segment $QO$ has length less than $\frac13$?

14. Define sequence $\{a_n\}^{\infty}_{n=1}$ such that $a_1=\frac{\pi}{3}$ and $a_{n+1}=\cot^{-1}(\csc(a_n))$ for all positive integers $n.$ Find the value of
\[\frac{1}{\cos(a_1)\cos(a_2)\cos(a_3)\cdots\cos(a_{16})}.\]
15. Define $\{x\}$ to be the fractional part of $x.$ For example, $\{20.25\}=0.25$ and $\{\pi\}=\pi-3.$ Let
$A=\sum_{a=1}^{96}\sum_{n=1}^{96}\left\{\frac{a^n}{97}\right\},$ where $\{x\}$ denotes the fractional part of $x.$ Compute $A$ rounded to the nearest integer.

Consider acute triangle $ABC$ with orthocenter $H$. Extend $AH$ to meet $BC$ at $D$. The angle bisector of $\angle{ABH}$ meets the midpoint of $AD$. If $AB=10, BH=6$, compute the area of $\triangle{ABC}$.
