Instructions

  1. This is a 15-question, 3-hour examination. All answers are integers ranging from $000$ to $999$, inclusive. Your score will be the number of correct answers; i.e., there is neither partial credit nor a penalty for wrong answers.
  2. No aids other than scratch paper, graph paper, ruler, compass, and protractor are permitted. In particular, calculators and computers are not permitted.

Problem 1

Solution

Problem 2

An urn contains $4$ green balls and $6$ blue balls. A second urn contains $16$ green balls and $N$ blue balls. A single ball is drawn at random from each urn. The probability that both balls are of the same color is 0.58. Find $N$.

Solution

Problem 3

Find the number of rational numbers $r,$ $0<r<1,$ such that when $r$ is written as a fraction in lowest terms, the numerator and the denominator have a sum of 1000.

Solution

Problem 4

Jon and Steve ride their bicycles along a path that parallels two side-by-side train tracks running the east/west direction. Jon rides east as 20 miles per hour, and Steve rides west at 20 miles per hour. Two trains of equal length, traveling in opposite directions at constant but different speeds each pass the two riders. Each train takes exactly 1 minute to go past Jon. The westbound train takes 10 times as long as the eastbound train to go past Steve. The length of each train is $\frac{m}{n}$, where $m$ and $n$ are relatively prime positive integers. Find $m+n$.

Solution

Problem 5

Solution

Problem 6

The graphs $y = 3(x-h)^2 + j$ and $y = 2(x-h^2) + k$ have y-intercepts of 2013 and 2014, respectively, and each graph has two positive integer x-intercepts. Find $h$.

Solution

Problem 7

Solution

Problem 8

The positive integers $N$ and $N^2$ both end in the same sequence of four digits $abcd$ when written in base 10, where digit a is not zero. Find the three-digit number $abc$.

Solution

Problem 9

Let $x_1< x_2 < x_3$ be the three real roots of the equation $\sqrt{2014} x^3 - 4029x^2 + 2 = 0$. Find $x_2(x_1+x_3)$.

Solution

Problem 10

Solution

Problem 11

Solution

Problem 12

Solution

Problem 13

Solution

Problem 14

Let $m$ be the largest real solution to the equation

\[\dfrac{x}{x-3} + \dfrac{5}{x-5} + \dfrac{17}{x-17} + \dfrac{19}{x-19} = x^2 - 11x - 4\]

There are positive integers $a, b,$ and $c$ such that $m = a + \sqrt{b + \sqrt{c}}$. Find $a+b+c$.
