The number of ways Kate can divide the four red socks into two pairs is $\binom{4}{2} / 2=3$. The number of ways she can divide the four blue socks into two pairs is also 3 .

A solid in the shape of a right circular cone is 4 inches tall and its base has a 3-inch radius. The entire surface of the cone, including its base, is painted.

Our original solid $V$ has surface area $A_v = \pi r^2 + \pi r \ell$, where $\ell$ is the slant height of the cone. Using the Pythagorean Theorem or Pythagorean Triple knowledge, we obtain $\ell = 5$ and lateral area $A_\ell = 15\pi$. The area of the base is $A_B = 3^2\pi = 9\pi$. $V$ and $C$ are similar cones, because...

Let $p$ have roots $r, r, s, t$. Using Vieta's on the coefficient of the cubic and linear terms, we see that $2 r+s+t=r^{2} s+r^{2} t+2 r s t$. Rearranging gives $2 r(1-s t)=\left(r^{2}-1\right)(s+t)$. If $r^{2}-1=0$, then since $r \neq 0$, we require that $1-s t=0$ for the equation to hold. Conversely, if $1-s t=0$, t...
