Problem 2
Let If
is a positive integer, find the sum of all values of
such that
for some constant
.
Problem 3
Let circles and
with centers
and
concur at points
and
such that
,
. Suppose a point
on the extension of
is formed such that
and lines
and
intersect
and
at
and
respectively. If
, the value of
can be represented as
, where
and
are relatively prime positive integers, and
is square free. Find
Problem 4
Let be a rectangle with
and
. Let points
and
lie on
such that
is the midpoint of
and
lies on
. Let point
be the center of the circumcircle of quadrilateral
such that
and
lie on the circumcircle of
and
respectively, along with
and

and
is
,
and
are degenerate, and
, find
Problem 5
Suppose is an equilateral triangle. Let points
and
lie on the extensions of
and
respectively such that
and
. If there exists a point
outside of
such that
, and there exists a point
outside outside of
such that
, the area
can be represented as
, where
and
are squarefree,. Find
Problem 6
people are attending a hotel conference,
of which are executives, and
of which are speakers. Each person is designated a seat at one of
round tables, each containing
seats. If executives must sit at least one speaker and executive, there are
ways the people can be seated. Find
. Assume seats, people, and table rotations are distinguishable.
Problem 7
Geometry285 is playing the game "Guess And Choose". In this game, Geometry285 selects a subset of not necessarily distinct integers from the set
such that the sum of all elements in
is
. Each distinct is selected chronologically and placed in
, such that
,
,
, and so on. Then, the elements are randomly arranged. Suppose
represents the total number of outcomes that a subset
containing
integers sums to
. If distinct permutations of the same set
are considered unique, find the remainder when
is divided by
.
$\textbf{(A)} \0 \qquad\textbf{(B)} \1 \qquad\textbf{(C)} \50 \qquad\textbf{(D)} \51 \qquad\textbf{(E)} \124$ (Error compiling LaTeX. Unknown error_msg)
Problem 8
Let , Let
be the twelve roots that satisfies
, find the least possible value of
Solution: The first summation is simply by Vieta's. The second summation is
. The minimum possible value is
, so we need to minimize
. If we do bounding, when
we have
, and when
we have
. The shift implies there is a root
where
such that
. However,
seems very close to
, and
approaches infinity, so there is another root
. Therefore, we have the smallest root
must be
, where
is the fractional part. The answer is
