Problem 7

What is the sum of the solutions to $n^2=x^2-8x+96$?, where $n$ is a positive integer?

$\textbf{(A) }8 \qquad\textbf{(B) }9 \qquad\textbf{(C) }10 \qquad\textbf{(D) }11 \qquad\textbf{(E) }12$

Solution

Problem 8

In the following diagram, Bob starts at the origin and makes a certain number of moves. A move is defined as him starting at $(x,y)$ and moves to $(x,y+1)$, $(x+1,y)$, $(x,y-1)$, and $(x-1,y)$ with equal probability. The probability that Bob will eventually reach the point $(4,3)$ is $N$. Find the number of distinct points, including $(4, 3)$, that satisfy that the probability that he will eventually reach that point is $N$.

$\mathrm{(A) \ } 1 \qquad \mathrm{(B) \ } 2 \qquad \mathrm{(C) \ } 4 \qquad \mathrm{(D) \ } 8\qquad \mathrm{(E) \ } 12$

Solution

Problem 9

Consider the line segment $OA_0$, which has two endpoints $O = (0, 0)$ and $A = (5, 0)$. $OA_n$ is constructed by rotating $OA_0$ about the point $O$ clockwise $\frac{360n}{\mu}$ degrees, where $\mu$ is a positive integer greater than 2 and $n < \mu$. After this operation, the line segments $A_0A_1$, $A_1A_2$, $A_2A_3$, $...$, $A_{n-2}A_{n-1}$, $A_{n-1}A_0$ are drawn. Let $S$ be the sum of the areas of the Triangles $OA_0A_1, OA_1A_2, OA_2A_3, ..., OA_{n-2}A_{n-1}, OA_{n-1}A_0$. As $n$ approaches infinity, $S$ approaches a constant $p$. Find $\lfloor p \rfloor$.


$\textbf{(A)}\ 77\qquad\textbf{(B)}\ 78\qquad\textbf{(C)}\ 79\qquad\textbf{(D)}\ 80\qquad\textbf{(E)}\ 81$

Solution

Problem 10

A certain period of time $P$ starts at exactly 6:09PM on a Tuesday and ends at exactly 6:09AM on a Thursday. Which of these numbers listed in the choices here is a possible length in days for $P$?

$\mathrm{(A) \ } 100.5\qquad \mathrm{(B) \ } 1000.5\qquad \mathrm{(C) \ } 10,000.5\qquad \mathrm{(D) \ } 100,000.5\qquad \mathrm{(E) \ } 1,000,000.5$

Solution

Problem 11

Consider Square $ABCD$, a square with side length $10$. Let Points $E$, $F$, $G$, $H$ be the midpoints of sides $AB$, $BC$, $CD$, and $DA$, respectively. Find the area of the square formed by the four line segments $AG$, $BH$, $CE$, and $DF$.

[asy] draw((0,0)--(10,0)); draw((0,0)--(0, 10)); draw((10,0)--(10, 10)); draw((10,10)--(0, 10)); draw((0,10)--(5, 0)); draw((0,0)--(10, 5)); draw((10,0)--(5, 10)); draw((10,10)--(0, 5)); [/asy]

$\textbf{(A)}\ 18\qquad\textbf{(B)}\ 20\qquad\textbf{(C)}\ 25\qquad\textbf{(D)}\ 40\qquad\textbf{(E)}\ 50$

Solution

Problem 12

[asy] draw((0,0)--(10*sqrt(3),0)); draw((0,0)--(0, 10)); draw((10*sqrt(3),0)--(0, 10)); draw(arc((5*sqrt(3),0),5*sqrt(3),0,180)); label("$A$",(3,4)); [/asy]

In the figure shown here, the triangle has two legs of length $10$ and $10\sqrt{3}$, and the semicircle has diameter $10\sqrt{3}$. The area of Region $A$ can be expressed as $\frac{a\pi+b\sqrt{c}}{d}$, where $a, b, c, d$ are positive integers, $c$ is square-free, $\text{ gcd }(a, d) = 1$, and $\text{ gcd }(b, d) = 1$. Find $a+b+c+d$.

$\textbf{(A)}\ 130 \qquad\textbf{(B)}\ 131 \qquad\textbf{(C)}\ 132 \qquad\textbf{(D)}\ 133 \qquad\textbf{(E)}\ 134$

Solution

Problem 13

Kevin has a friend named Anna. The two of them are both in the same class, BC Calculus, which is a class that has $32$ students. To split the class up into partners that work on a group project involving integrals, the teacher, Mrs. Jannesen, randomly partitions the class into groups of two. If he is assigned to be partners with his friend, he will be happy. What is the probability that Kevin is assigned to be with Anna?
