Problem 5

A lamb is tied to a post at the origin $(0, 0)$ on the real $xy$ plane with a rope that measures $6$ units. $2$ wolves are tied with ropes of length $6$ as well, both of them being at points $(6, 6)$ , and $(-6, -6)$ . What is the area that the lamb can run around without being in the range of the wolves?

Problem 6

Problem 7

Let $T(n)$ denote the sum of the factors of a positive integer $n$ . What is the sum of the $3$ least possible values of $x$ such that $T(x) + T(2x) = 8$ ?

Problem 8

The real value of $n$ that satisfies the equation $ln(n) + ln(n^{2} - 34) = ln(72)$ can be written in the form $a + \sqrt{b}$ where $a$ and $b$ are integers. What is $a + b$ ?

Problem 9

Let $R(x)$ denote the number of trailing $0$ s in the numerical value of the expression $x!$ , for example, $R(5) = 1$ since $5! = 120$ which has $1$ trailing zero. What is the sum

$R(100) + R(99) + R(98) + R(97) + … + R(3) + R(2) + R(1) + R(0)$ ?

Problem 10

In how many ways can $10$ candy canes and $9$ lollipops be split between $8$ children if each child must receive atleast $1$ candy but no child receives both types?
