[[Category:Art of Problem Solving]]</div>Edward130603https://artofproblemsolving.com/wiki/index.php?title=AoPS_Wiki_talk:AoPS_Community_Awards&diff=31688AoPS Wiki talk:AoPS Community Awards2009-05-17T14:33:14Z<p>Edward130603: AoPSWiki talk:AoPS Community Awards moved to AoPSWiki talk:AoPS Community Awardss</p>
<hr />
<div>This list is very very far from complete, but there's no way I can know who everyone is or track down every major award, so I'll leave most of the rest for the community to fill out.--[[User:MCrawford|MCrawford]] 17:39, 26 June 2006 (EDT)<br />
<br />
I added Neal Wu to this list. Last summer, he told me that he uses the AoPS books, and he has an AoPS screename. He said, however, that he doesn't post much, instead preffering to just work the problems himself, and look at a posted solution when absolutely neccessary. So, although he may not be an active member, he does have an account, and he does browse the forums. Therefore, added. --[[User:Mysmartmouth|Sean]] 00:06, 27 June 2006 (EDT)<br />
<br />
I removed AMC 8 perfects because the list would be utterly huge. If somebody wants, they can create a different page for it and simply link to that page from this one, but I also feel like there is a long list of accomplishments that would be more noteable that we aren't adding to this already long list of distinguishing achievements (such as Mandelbrot or Mu Alpha Theta winners).--[[User:MCrawford|MCrawford]] 01:11, 27 June 2006 (EDT)<br />
<br />
Do you think we should keep AMC10 perfects? That list will probably get to be fairly large too... --[[User:Eryaman|Eryaman]]<br />
<br />
[[AMC 8-10 perfects]] created ---[[User:Dojo|Dojo]] 04:20, 27 October 2008 (UTC)<br />
<br />
Eh it got deleted. Can someone get the info back?--[[User:Dojo|Dojo]] 06:03, 3 January 2009 (UTC)<br />
<br />
== AIME Perfect Scores ==<br />
<br />
Did Arnav get a perfect AIME score this year (2006)? NC doesn't show any on the AMC site. Someone may want to check this.<br />
<br />
[http://www2.chccs.k12.nc.us/education/components/scrapbook/default.php?sectiondetailid=27519&pagecat=1029&PHPSESSID=8cce4c7b52cb2581a5b3cf2973c835cf| article] This site says he did, but the amc site says there weren't any in NC. Why not ask him? Should we add a section for people who won as part of a team in the Putnam? What about the Elizabeth Lowell Putnam prize winners? -quantum leap<br />
<br />
I removed MathCounts team awards and I feel like Putnam team awards would result in a similarly large list. These awards can be mentioned in the historical results pages for each competition.--[[User:MCrawford|MCrawford]] 16:35, 8 July 2006 (EDT)<br />
<br />
==ISEF, NVC, and WPC==<br />
I understand that ISEF, the National Vocabulary Championship, and the Reader's Digest Word Power Challenge sections disappeared courtesy of Scrambled. I know it's bragging on myself, but there were other people that I listed in each section as AoPSers who've won. Am I just being ridiculously bragging, or should this be reverted?--[[User:Solafidefarms|solafidefarms]] 13:25, 12 August 2007 (EDT)<br />
<br />
I would restore ISEF, but the other two seem somewhat off-topic here. --[[User:JBL|JBL]] 11:33, 13 August 2007 (EDT)<br />
<br />
Possibly, but didn't Anurag Kashyap get a sitewide entry in the rotating banners when he won NSB, because he was a SDMCian?--[[User:Solafidefarms|solafidefarms]] 20:14, 18 August 2007 (EDT)<br />
<br />
Also, I observe that this page is linked to in the banner as a list of accomplishments of AoPS members. So how is NVC & RDWPC not relevant? We're supposed to be bragging on what AoPSers have done, not just in math. [Also, ISEF never got restored. ...]--solafidefarms</div>Edward130603https://artofproblemsolving.com/wiki/index.php?title=1985_AJHSME_Problems/Problem_14&diff=316851985 AJHSME Problems/Problem 142009-05-17T14:32:57Z<p>Edward130603: </p>

<div>== Problem ==<br />
If <math>x,y,</math> and <math>z</math> are positive numbers satisfying<br />
<br />
<cmath>x + 1/y = 4,\qquad y + 1/z = 1, \qquad \text{and} \qquad z + 1/x = 7/3</cmath><br />
<br />
Then what is the value of <math>xyz</math> ?<br />
<br />
<math>\text {(A)}\ 2/3 \qquad \text {(B)}\ 1 \qquad \text {(C)}\ 4/3 \qquad \text {(D)}\ 2 \qquad \text {(E)}\ 7/3</math><br />
<br />
__TOC__<br />
<br />
== Solution ==<br />
=== Solution 1 ===<br />
Multiplying all three expressions together,<br />
<br />
<cmath>\begin{align*}<br />
\left( x + \frac 1y \right) \left( y + \frac 1z \right) \left( z + \frac 1x \right) &= xyz + x + y + z + \frac 1x + \frac 1y + \frac 1z + \frac 1{xyz}\\<br />
(4)(1)\left(\frac 73\right) &= 4 + 1 + \frac 73 + xyz + \frac 1{xyz}\\<br />
2 &= xyz + \frac 1{xyz}\\<br />
0 &= (xyz - 1)^2<br />
\end{align*}</cmath><br />
<br />
Thus <math>xyz = 1 \Rightarrow B</math><br />
<br />
=== Solution 2 ===<br />
We have a system of three equations and three variables, so we can apply repeated substitution. <br />
<br />
<cmath>4 = x + \frac{1}{y} = x + \frac{1}{1 - \frac{1}{z}} = x + \frac{1}{1-\frac{1}{7/3-1/x}} = x + \frac{7x-3}{4x-3}</cmath><br />
<br />
Multiplying out the denominator and simplification yields <math>4(4x-3) = x(4x-3) + 7x - 3 \Longrightarrow (2x-3)^2 = 0</math>, so <math>x = \frac{3}{2}</math>. Substituting leads to <math>y = \frac{2}{5}, z = \frac{5}{3}</math>, and the product of these three variables is <math>1</math>.<br />
