Our Worldwide Online Olympiad Training program is for high school level competitors. AoPS designed these courses to help our top students get the deep focus they need to succeed in their specific competition goals. Check out the details at this link for all our WOOT programs in math, computer science, chemistry, and physics.

Looking for summer camps in math and language arts? Be sure to check out the video-based summer camps offered at the Virtual Campus that are 2- to 4-weeks in duration. There are middle and high school competition math camps as well as Math Beasts camps that review key topics coupled with fun explorations covering areas such as graph theory (Math Beasts Camp 6), cryptography (Math Beasts Camp 7-8), and topology (Math Beasts Camp 8-9)!

Be sure to mark your calendars for the following events:

Hi everyone,

For an AIME score of 7-11, would you recommend MathPath or AMSP Level 2/3?

Thanks in advance!
Also people who have gone to them, please tell me more about the programs!

Jumping on Lily Pads to Avoid a Snake
brandbest1   53
N 3 hours ago by ESAOPS
Source: 2014 AMC 10B #25 & 2014 AMC 12B #22
In a small pond there are eleven lily pads in a row labeled $0$ through $10$. A frog is sitting on pad $1$. When the frog is on pad $N$, $0<N<10$, it will jump to pad $N-1$ with probability $\frac{N}{10}$ and to pad $N+1$ with probability $1-\frac{N}{10}$. Each jump is independent of the previous jumps. If the frog reaches pad $0$ it will be eaten by a patiently waiting snake. If the frog reaches pad $10$ it will exit the pond, never to return. What is the probability that the frog will escape being eaten by the snake?

$ \textbf {(A) } \frac{32}{79} \qquad \textbf {(B) } \frac{161}{384} \qquad \textbf {(C) } \frac{63}{146} \qquad \textbf {(D) } \frac{7}{16} \qquad \textbf {(E) } \frac{1}{2} $

Source: 2022 AMC 10A #25
Let $R$, $S$, and $T$ be squares that have vertices at lattice points (i.e., points whose coordinates are both integers) in the coordinate plane, together with their interiors. The bottom edge of each square is on the x-axis. The left edge of $R$ and the right edge of $S$ are on the $y$-axis, and $R$ contains $\frac{9}{4}$ as many lattice points as does $S$. The top two vertices of $T$ are in $R \cup S$, and $T$ contains $\frac{1}{4}$ of the lattice points contained in $R \cup S$. See the figure (not drawn to scale).

IMAGE

The fraction of lattice points in $S$ that are in $S \cap T$ is 27 times the fraction of lattice points in $R$ that are in $R \cap T$. What is the minimum possible value of the edge length of $R$ plus the edge length of $S$ plus the edge length of $T$?

Bruno and Brutus are running on a circular track with a $20$ foot radius. Bruno completes $5$ laps every hour, while Brutus completes $7$ laps every hour. If they start at the same point but run in opposite directions, how far along the track’s circumference (in feet) from the starting point are they when they meet for the sixth time? Note: Do not count the moment they start running as a meeting point.

Let $\vartriangle ABC$ have angles $ \alpha, \beta$ and $\gamma$ such that $\cos (\alpha) = \frac1 3$ and $\cos (\beta) = \frac{1}{17}$ . Moreover, suppose that the product of the side lengths of the triangle is equal to its area. Let $(ABC)$ denote the circumcircle of $ABC$. Let $AO$ intersect $(BOC)$ at $D$, $BO$ intersect $(COA)$ at $ E$, and $CO$ intersect $(AOB)$ at $F$. If the area of $DEF$ can be written as $\frac{p\sqrt{r}}{q}$ for relatively prime integers $p$ and $q$ and squarefree $r$, find the sum of all prime factors of $q$, counting multiplicities (so the sum of prime factors of $48$ is $2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 3 = 11$), given that $q$ has $30$ divisors.

I was practicing problems and came across one as such:

"Find all integers $x$ such that $2x^2 + x-6$ is a positive integral power of a prime positive integer."

I mean after factoring I don't really know where to go...

A hint would be appreciated, and if you want to solve it, please hide your solutions!
