UNM - PNM STATEWIDE MATHEMATICS CONTEST XLIX. February 4, 2017. Second Round. Three Hours

Problem 1

What are the last two digits of $2017^{2017}$?

Solution

Problem 2

Suppose $A, R, S$, and $T$ all denote distinct digits from $1$ to $9$. If $\sqrt{STARS} = SAT$, what are $A, R, S$, and $T$?

Solution

Problem 3

Let $f(x)=\frac{x}{x-1}$ and $g(x)=\frac{x}{3x-1}$.

(a) Determine $f\circ g(x)$ and $g\circ f(x)$.

(b) Denote $\underbrace{h\circ h\circ \cdot \circ h}_\text{n times} := h^n$. Determine all the functions in the set $S = \{H | H = (g\circ f)^n\circ g$ or $H = (f\circ g)^n\circ f$ for some $n$ a whole number$\}$.
