Among all the roots of \[z^8 - z^6 + z^4 - z^2 + 1 = 0,\]the maximum imaginary part of a root can be expressed as $\sin \theta,$ where $-90^\circ \le \theta \le 90^\circ.$ Find $\theta.$
gpt
If $z^8 - z^6 + z^4 - z^2 + 1 = 0,$ then \[(z^2 + 1)(z^8 - z^6 + z^4 - z^2 + 1) = z^{10} + 1 = 0.\]So $z^{10} = -1 = \operatorname{cis} 180^\circ,$ which means \[z = 18^\circ + \frac{360^\circ \cdot k}{10} = 18^\circ + 36^\circ \cdot k\]for some integer $k.$ Furthermore, $z^2 \neq -1.$ Thus, the roots $z$ are graphed below, labelled in black.

Compute \[\frac{1}{2^{1990}} \sum_{n = 0}^{995} (-3)^n \binom{1990}{2n}.\]

By the Binomial Theorem, \begin{align*} (1 + i \sqrt{3})^{1990} &= \binom{1990}{0} + \binom{1990}{1} (i \sqrt{3}) + \binom{1990}{2} (i \sqrt{3})^2 + \binom{1990}{3} (i \sqrt{3})^3 + \binom{1990}{4} (i \sqrt{3})^4 + \dots + \binom{1990}{1990} (i \sqrt{3})^{1990} \\ &= \binom{1990}{0} + i \binom{1990}{1} \sqrt{3} - 3 \binom{1990}{2} + 3i \sqrt{3} \binom{1990}{3} + 3^2 \binom{1990}{4} + \dots - 3^{995} \binom{1990}{1990}. \end{align*}Thus, $\sum_{n = 0}^{1995} (-3)^n \binom{1990}{2n}$ is the real part of $(1 + i \sqrt{3})^{1990}.$ By DeMoivre's Theorem, \begin{align*} (1 + i \sqrt{3})^{1990} &= (2 \operatorname{cis} 60^\circ)^{1990} \\ &= 2^{1990} \operatorname{cis} 119400^\circ \\ &= 2^{1990} \operatorname{cis} 240^\circ \\ &= 2^{1990} \left( -\frac{1}{2} - i \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \right). \end{align*}Therefore, \[\frac{1}{2^{1990}} \sum_{n = 0}^{995} (-3)^n \binom{1990}{2n} = \boxed{-\frac{1}{2}}.\]

A certain regular tetrahedron has three of its vertices at the points $(0,1,2),$ $(4,2,1),$ and $(3,1,5).$ Find the coordinates of the fourth vertex, given that they are also all integers.
gpt
The side length of the regular tetrahedron is the distance between $(0,1,2)$ and $(4,2,1),$ which is \[\sqrt{(0 - 4)^2 + (1 - 2)^2 + (2 - 1)^2} = \sqrt{18} = 3 \sqrt{2}.\]So if $(x,y,z)$ is the fourth vertex, with integer coordinates, then \begin{align*} x^2 + (y - 1)^2 + (z - 2)^2 &= 18, \\ (x - 4)^2 + (y - 2)^2 + (z - 1)^2 &= 18, \\ (x - 3)^2 + (y - 1)^2 + (z - 5)^2 &= 18. \end{align*}Subtracting the first and third equations, we get $6x + 6z - 30 = 0$, so $x + z = 5,$ which means $z = 5 - x.$ Subtracting the first and second equation, we get $8x + 2y - 2z - 16 = 0,$ so \[y = z - 4x + 8 = (5 - x) - 4x + 8 = 13 - 5x.\]Substituting into the first equation, we get \[x^2 + (12 - 5x)^2 + (3 - x)^2 = 18.\]This simplifies to $27x^2 - 126x + 135 = 0,$ which factors as $9(x - 3)(3x - 5) = 0.$ Since $x$ is an integer, $x = 3.$ Then $y = -2$ and $z = 2.$ Thus, the fourth vertex is $\boxed{(3,-2,2)}.$

By the Law of Cosines, the third side is \[\sqrt{7^2 + 8^2 - 2 \cdot 7 \cdot 8 \cos 120^\circ} = \sqrt{7^2 + 8^2 + 7 \cdot 8} = \boxed{13}.\]

Find the range of the function \[f(x) = \left( \arccos \frac{x}{2} \right)^2 + \pi \arcsin \frac{x}{2} - \left( \arcsin \frac{x}{2} \right)^2 + \frac{\pi^2}{12} (x^2 + 6x + 8).\]
gpt
First, we claim that $\arccos x + \arcsin x = \frac{\pi}{2}$ for all $x \in [-1,1].$ Note that \[\cos \left( \frac{\pi}{2} - \arcsin x \right) = \cos (\arccos x) = x.\]Furthermore, $-\frac{\pi}{2} \le \arcsin x \le \frac{\pi}{2},$ so $0 \le \frac{\pi}{2} - \arcsin x \le \pi.$ Therefore, \[\frac{\pi}{2} - \arcsin x = \arccos x,\]so $\arccos x + \arcsin x = \frac{\pi}{2}.$ In particular, \begin{align*} f(x) &= \left( \arccos \frac{x}{2} \right)^2 + \pi \arcsin \frac{x}{2} - \left( \arcsin \frac{x}{2} \right)^2 + \frac{\pi^2}{12} (x^2 + 6x + 8) \\ &= \left( \arccos \frac{x}{2} \right)^2 - \left( \arcsin \frac{x}{2} \right)^2 + \pi \arcsin \frac{x}{2} + \frac{\pi^2}{12} (x^2 + 6x + 8) \\ &= \left( \arccos \frac{x}{2} + \arcsin \frac{x}{2} \right) \left( \arccos \frac{x}{2} - \arcsin \frac{x}{2} \right) + \pi \arcsin \frac{x}{2} + \frac{\pi^2}{12} (x^2 + 6x + 8) \\ &= \frac{\pi}{2} \arccos \frac{x}{2} - \frac{\pi}{2} \arcsin \frac{x}{2} + \pi \arcsin \frac{x}{2} + \frac{\pi^2}{12} (x^2 + 6x + 8) \\ &= \frac{\pi}{2} \arccos \frac{x}{2} + \frac{\pi}{2} \arcsin \frac{x}{2} + \frac{\pi^2}{12} (x^2 + 6x + 8) \\ &= \frac{\pi^2}{4} + \frac{\pi^2}{12} (x^2 + 6x + 8) \\ &= \frac{\pi^2}{6} + \frac{\pi^2}{12} (x + 3)^2. \end{align*}The function $f(x)$ is defined for $-2 \le x \le 2,$ so the range is $\boxed{\left[ \frac{\pi^2}{4}, \frac{9 \pi^2}{4} \right]}.$

By constructing a right triangle with adjacent side 1, opposite side 7, and hypotenuse $\sqrt{1^2 + 7^2} = 5 \sqrt{2}$, we see that \[\cos \angle AOC = \frac{1}{5 \sqrt{2}} \quad \text{and} \quad \sin \angle AOC = \frac{7}{5 \sqrt{2}}.\]Then \begin{align*} \cos \angle AOB &= \cos (\angle AOC + \angle BOC) \\ &= \cos \angle AOC \cos \angle BOC - \sin \angle AOC \sin \angle BOC \\ &= \frac{1}{5 \sqrt{2}} \cdot \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} - \frac{7}{5 \sqrt{2}} \cdot \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \\ &= -\frac{3}{5}. \end{align*}Taking the dot product of the equation $\overrightarrow{OC} = m \overrightarrow{OA} + n \overrightarrow{OB}$ with $\overrightarrow{OA},$ we get \[\overrightarrow{OA} \cdot \overrightarrow{OC} = m \overrightarrow{OA} \cdot \overrightarrow{OA} + n \overrightarrow{OA} \cdot \overrightarrow{OB}.\]Then $\|\overrightarrow{OA}\| \|\overrightarrow{OC}\| \cos \angle AOC = m \|\overrightarrow{OA}\|^2 + n \|\overrightarrow{OA}\| \|\overrightarrow{OB}\| \cos \angle AOB,$ or \[\frac{1}{5} = m - \frac{3}{5} n.\]Taking the dot product of the equation $\overrightarrow{OC} = m \overrightarrow{OA} + n \overrightarrow{OB}$ with $\overrightarrow{OB},$ we get \[\overrightarrow{OB} \cdot \overrightarrow{OC} = m \overrightarrow{OA} \cdot \overrightarrow{OB} + n \overrightarrow{OB} \cdot \overrightarrow{OB}.\]Then $\|\overrightarrow{OB}\| \|\overrightarrow{OC}\| \cos \angle BOC = m \|\overrightarrow{OA}\| \|\overrightarrow{OB}\| \cos \angle AOB + n \|\overrightarrow{OB}\|^2,$ or \[1 = -\frac{3}{5} m + n.\]Solving the system $\frac{1}{5} = m - \frac{3}{5} n$ and $1 = -\frac{3}{5} m + n,$ we find $(m,n) = \boxed{\left( \frac{5}{4}, \frac{7}{4} \right)}.$

Each term is of the form $\frac{1}{\sin k^\circ \sin (k + 1)^\circ}.$ To deal with this term, we look at $\sin ((k + 1)^\circ - k^\circ).$ From the angle subtraction formula, \[\sin ((k + 1)^\circ - k^\circ) = \sin (k + 1)^\circ \cos k^\circ - \cos (k + 1)^\circ \sin k^\circ.\]Then \begin{align*} \frac{\sin 1^\circ}{\sin k^\circ \sin (k + 1)^\circ} &= \frac{\sin ((k + 1)^\circ - k^\circ)}{\sin k^\circ \sin (k + 1)^\circ} \\ &= \frac{\sin (k + 1)^\circ \cos k^\circ - \cos (k + 1)^\circ \sin k^\circ}{\sin k^\circ \sin (k + 1)^\circ} \\ &= \frac{\cos k^\circ}{\sin k^\circ} - \frac{\cos (k + 1)^\circ}{\sin (k + 1)^\circ} \\ &= \cot k^\circ - \cot (k + 1)^\circ. \end{align*}Hence, \[\frac{1}{\sin k^\circ \sin (k + 1)^\circ} = \frac{1}{\sin 1^\circ} (\cot k^\circ - \cot (k + 1)^\circ).\]Then \begin{align*} &\frac{1}{\sin 45^\circ \sin 46^\circ} + \frac{1}{\sin 47^\circ \sin 48^\circ} + \dots + \frac{1}{\sin 133^\circ \sin 134^\circ} \\ &= \frac{1}{\sin 1^\circ} (\cot 45^\circ - \cot 46^\circ + \cot 47^\circ - \cot 48^\circ + \dots + \cot 133^\circ - \cot 134^\circ). \end{align*}Since $\cot (180^\circ - x) = -\cot x,$ the sum reduces to \[\frac{\cot 45^\circ - \cot 90^\circ}{\sin 1^\circ} = \frac{1}{\sin 1^\circ}.\]Thus, the smallest such positive integer $n$ is $\boxed{1}.$

Let $f(\theta) = \cos \theta.$ When $\theta = 0,$ $r = 1,$ so in rectangular coordinates, \[(x,y) = (1 \cos \theta, 1 \sin \theta) = (1,0).\]Furthermore, the function $f(\theta) = \cos \theta$ is periodic, so we must find the next angle for which $(x,y) = (1,0).$ This occurs if and only if either of the following conditions is met: (1) $\theta$ is of the form $2 \pi k,$ where $k$ is an integer, and $r = 1,$ or (2) $\theta$ is of the form $2 \pi k + \pi,$ where $k$ is an integer, and $r = -1.$ If $\theta = 2 \pi k,$ then \[r = \cos \theta = \cos 2 \pi k = 1,\]so any angle of the form $\theta = 2 \pi k$ works. If $\theta = 2 \pi k + \pi,$ then \[r = \cos \theta = \cos (2 \pi k + \pi) = -1,\]so any of the form $\theta = 2 \pi k + \pi$ also works. Also, if $r = f(\theta) = \cos \theta,$ then \[f(\theta + \pi) = \cos (\theta + \pi) = -\cos \theta = -r.\]In polar coordinates, the points $(r, \theta)$ and $(-r, \theta + \pi)$ coincide, so the graph repeats after an interval of $\pi.$ Therefore, the smallest possible value of $t$ is $\boxed{\pi}.$ [asy] unitsize(3 cm); pair moo (real t) { real r = cos(t); return (r*cos(t), r*sin(t)); } path foo = moo(0); real t; for (t = 0; t <= pi + 0.1; t = t + 0.1) { foo = foo--moo(t); } draw(foo,red); draw((-0.5,0)--(1.5,0)); draw((0,-0.5)--(0,0.5)); label("$r = \cos \theta$", (1.3,0.4), red); [/asy]

The condition $\cos 3A + \cos 3B + \cos 3C = 1$ implies \begin{align*} 0 &= 1 - \cos 3A - (\cos 3B + \cos 3C) \\ &= 2 \sin^2 \frac{3A}{2} - 2 \cos \frac{3B + 3C}{2} \cos \frac{3B - 3C}{2} \\ &= 2 \sin^2 \frac{3A}{2} - 2 \cos \left( 270^\circ - \frac{3A}{2} \right) \cos \frac{3B - 3C}{2} \\ &= 2 \sin^2 \frac{3A}{2} + 2 \sin \frac{3A}{2} \cos \frac{3B - 3C}{2} \\ &= 2 \sin \frac{3A}{2} \left( \sin \frac{3A}{2} + \cos \frac{3B - 3C}{2} \right) \\ &= 2 \sin \frac{3A}{2} \left( \sin \left( 270^\circ - \frac{3B + 3C}{2} \right) + \cos \frac{3B - 3C}{2} \right) \\ &= 2 \sin \frac{3A}{2} \left( \cos \frac{3B - 3C}{2} - \cos \frac{3B + 3C}{2} \right) \\ &= 2 \sin \frac{3A}{2} \cdot \left( -2 \sin \frac{3B}{2} \sin \left( -\frac{3C}{2} \right) \right) \\ &= 4 \sin \frac{3A}{2} \sin \frac{3B}{2} \sin \frac{3C}{2}. \end{align*}Therefore, one of $\frac{3A}{2},$ $\frac{3B}{2},$ $\frac{3C}{2}$ must be $180^\circ,$ which means one of $A,$ $B,$ $C$ must be $120^\circ.$ Then the maximum length is obtained when the $120^\circ$ is between the sides of length 10 and 13. By the Law of Cosines, this length is \[\sqrt{10^2 + 10 \cdot 13 + 13^2} = \boxed{\sqrt{399}}.\]

gpt
Since the determinant is $(9)(-12) - (18)(-6) = 0,$ the inverse does not exist, so the answer is the zero matrix $\boxed{\begin{pmatrix} 0 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 \end{pmatrix}}.$

We see that the side length of equilateral triangle $PQR$ is 5. Let $x = AQ.$ By the Law of Cosines on triangle $BCP,$ \[BC^2 = 2^2 + 3^2 - 2 \cdot 2 \cdot 3 \cdot \cos 60^\circ = 7.\]Then by the Law of Cosines on triangle $ACQ,$ \[AC^2 = x^2 + 2^2 - 2 \cdot x \cdot 2 \cdot \cos 60^\circ = x^2 - 2x + 4.\]Also, $AB = 3$ and $AR = 5 - x,$ so by the Law of Cosines on triangle $ABR,$ \[AB^2 = 3^2 + (5 - x)^2 - 2 \cdot 3 \cdot (5 - x) \cdot 60^\circ = x^2 - 7x + 19.\]Finally, by Pythagoras on right triangle $ABC,$ $BC^2 + AC^2 = AB^2,$ so \[7 + x^2 - 2x + 4 = x^2 - 7x + 19.\]Solving, we find $x = \boxed{\frac{8}{5}}.$

From the given equation, \[\frac{\sin 4x}{\cos 4x} = \frac{\cos x - \sin x}{\cos x + \sin x}.\]Then \[\cos x \sin 4x + \sin x \sin 4x = \cos x \cos 4x - \sin x \cos 4x,\]or \[\cos x \sin 4x + \sin x \cos 4x = \cos x \cos 4x - \sin x \sin 4x.\]Applying sum-to-product to both sides, we get \[\sin 5x = \cos 5x,\]so $\tan 5x = 1.$ The smallest such positive angle $x$ is $\boxed{9^\circ}.$

Let $x = \frac{\pi y}{2}.$ Then the given equation becomes \[2 \cos (\pi y) \left( \cos (\pi y) - \cos \left( \frac{4028 \pi}{y} \right) \right) = \cos (2 \pi y) - 1.\]By the double-angle formula, \[2 \cos (\pi y) \left( \cos (\pi y) - \cos \left( \frac{4028 \pi}{y} \right) \right) = -2 \sin^2 (\pi y).\]Dividing by 2 and expanding \[\cos^2 (\pi y) - \cos (\pi y) \cos \left( \frac{4028 \pi}{y} \right) = -\sin^2 (\pi y).\]Hence, \[\cos (\pi y) \cos \left( \frac{4028 \pi}{y} \right) = \cos^2 (\pi y) + \sin^2 (\pi y) = 1.\]For this equation to hold, we must have $\cos (\pi y) = \cos \left( \frac{4028 \pi}{y} \right) = 1$ or $\cos (\pi y) = \cos \left( \frac{4028 \pi}{y} \right) = -1.$ In turn, these conditions hold only when $y$ and $\frac{4028}{y}$ are integers with the same parity. The prime factorization of 4028 is $2^2 \cdot 19 \cdot 53.$ Clearly both $y$ and $\frac{4028}{y}$ cannot be odd, so both are even, which means both get exactly one factor of 2. Then the either $y$ or $\frac{4028}{y}$ can get the factor of 19, and either can get the factor of 53. Therefore, the possible values of $y$ are 2, $2 \cdot 19,$ 5$2 \cdot 53,$ and $2 \cdot 19 \cdot 53.$ Then the sum of the possible values of $x$ is \[\pi (1 + 19 + 53 + 19 \cdot 53) = \boxed{1080 \pi}.\]

We can expand the determinant as follows: \begin{align*} \begin{vmatrix} 0 & \sin \alpha & -\cos \alpha \\ -\sin \alpha & 0 & \sin \beta \\ \cos \alpha & -\sin \beta & 0 \end{vmatrix} &= -\sin \alpha \begin{vmatrix} -\sin \alpha & \sin \beta \\ \cos \alpha & 0 \end{vmatrix} - \cos \alpha \begin{vmatrix} -\sin \alpha & 0 \\ \cos \alpha & -\sin \beta \end{vmatrix} \\ &= -\sin \alpha (-\sin \beta \cos \alpha) - \cos \alpha (\sin \alpha \sin \beta) \\ &= \boxed{0}. \end{align*}

We compute the first few powers of $\mathbf{A}$: \begin{align*} \mathbf{A}^2 &= \begin{pmatrix} 0 & 0 & 1 \\ 1 & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & 1 & 0 \end{pmatrix} \begin{pmatrix} 0 & 0 & 1 \\ 1 & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & 1 & 0 \end{pmatrix} = \begin{pmatrix} 0 & 1 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & 1 \\ 1 & 0 & 0 \end{pmatrix}, \\ \mathbf{A}^3 &= \mathbf{A} \mathbf{A}^2 = \begin{pmatrix} 0 & 0 & 1 \\ 1 & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & 1 & 0 \end{pmatrix} \begin{pmatrix} 0 & 1 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & 1 \\ 1 & 0 & 0 \end{pmatrix} = \begin{pmatrix} 1 & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & 1 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & 1 \end{pmatrix} = \mathbf{I}. \end{align*}Then \[\mathbf{A}^{100} = (\mathbf{A}^3)^{33} \mathbf{A} = \mathbf{A} = \boxed{\begin{pmatrix} 0 & 0 & 1 \\ 1 & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & 1 & 0 \end{pmatrix}}.\]

Since \[\bold{v} = \begin{pmatrix} -10 \\ 6 \end{pmatrix} = -\frac{2}{3} \begin{pmatrix} 15 \\ -9 \end{pmatrix} = -\frac{2}{3} \bold{w}\]is a scalar multiple of $\bold{w}$, \[\text{proj}_{\bold{w}} \bold{v} = \bold{v} = \boxed{\begin{pmatrix} -10 \\ 6 \end{pmatrix}}.\]

Let \[\bold{A} = \begin{pmatrix} 0 & 1 & 2 \\ 1 & 0 & 1 \\ 2 & 1 & 0 \end{pmatrix}.\]There exist constants $p$, $q$, and $r$ such that \[\bold{A}^3 + p \bold{A}^2 + q \bold{A} + r \bold{I} = \bold{0},\]where $\bold{I}$ and $\bold{0}$ are the $3 \times 3$ identity matrix and zero matrix, respectively. Enter the ordered triple $(p,q,r).$

We see that \[\bold{A}^2 = \begin{pmatrix} 0 & 1 & 2 \\ 1 & 0 & 1 \\ 2 & 1 & 0 \end{pmatrix} \begin{pmatrix} 0 & 1 & 2 \\ 1 & 0 & 1 \\ 2 & 1 & 0 \end{pmatrix} = \begin{pmatrix} 5 & 2 & 1 \\ 2 & 2 & 2 \\ 1 & 2 & 5 \end{pmatrix}\]and \[\bold{A}^3 = \begin{pmatrix} 0 & 1 & 2 \\ 1 & 0 & 1 \\ 2 & 1 & 0 \end{pmatrix} \begin{pmatrix} 5 & 2 & 1 \\ 2 & 2 & 2 \\ 1 & 2 & 5 \end{pmatrix} = \begin{pmatrix} 4 & 6 & 12 \\ 6 & 4 & 6 \\ 12 & 6 & 4 \end{pmatrix}.\]Thus, we want $p$, $q$, and $r$ to satisfy \[\begin{pmatrix} 4 & 6 & 12 \\ 6 & 4 & 6 \\ 12 & 6 & 4 \end{pmatrix} + p \begin{pmatrix} 5 & 2 & 1 \\ 2 & 2 & 2 \\ 1 & 2 & 5 \end{pmatrix} + q \begin{pmatrix} 0 & 1 & 2 \\ 1 & 0 & 1 \\ 2 & 1 & 0 \end{pmatrix} + r \begin{pmatrix} 1 & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & 1 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & 1 \end{pmatrix} = \begin{pmatrix} 0 & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & 0 \end{pmatrix}.\]The left-hand side is equal to \[\begin{pmatrix} 5p + r + 4 & 2p + q + 6 & p + 2q + 12 \\ 2p + q + 6 & 2p + r + 4 & 2p + q + 6 \\ p + 2q + 12 & 2p + q + 6 & 5p + r + 4 \end{pmatrix}.\]This gives us the system of equations \begin{align*} 5p + r &= -4, \\ 2p + q &= -6, \\ p + 2q &= -12, \\ 2p + r &= -4. \end{align*}Solving this system, we find $(p,q,r) = \boxed{(0,-6,-4)}.$ Note: The polynomial $x^3+px^2+qx+r$ is the characteristic polynomial of the matrix $\mathbf A.$

By sum-to-product, \begin{align*} \sin 10^\circ + \sin 80^\circ &= 2 \sin 45^\circ \cos 35^\circ, \\ \sin 20^\circ + \sin 70^\circ &= 2 \sin 45^\circ \cos 25^\circ, \\ \sin 30^\circ + \sin 60^\circ &= 2 \sin 45^\circ \cos 15^\circ, \\ \sin 40^\circ + \sin 50^\circ &= 2 \sin 45^\circ \cos 5^\circ, \end{align*}so the given expression becomes \[\frac{2 \sin 45^\circ (\cos 35^\circ + \cos 25^\circ + \cos 15^\circ + \cos 5^\circ)}{\cos 5^\circ \cos 10^\circ \cos 20^\circ}.\]Similarly, \begin{align*} \cos 35^\circ + \cos 5^\circ &= 2 \cos 20^\circ \cos 15^\circ, \\ \cos 25^\circ + \cos 15^\circ &= 2 \cos 20^\circ \cos 5^\circ, \end{align*}so the expression becomes \[\frac{4 \sin 45^\circ \cos 20^\circ (\cos 5^\circ + \cos 15^\circ)}{\cos 5^\circ \cos 10^\circ \cos 20^\circ} = \frac{4 \sin 45^\circ (\cos 5^\circ + \cos 15^\circ)}{\cos 5^\circ \cos 10^\circ}.\]Finally, $\cos 5^\circ + \cos 15^\circ = 2 \cos 10^\circ \cos 5^\circ,$ so \[\frac{4 \sin 45^\circ (\cos 5^\circ + \cos 15^\circ)}{\cos 5^\circ \cos 10^\circ} = 8 \sin 45^\circ = \boxed{4 \sqrt{2}}.\]

Since $\mathbf{a}$ is parallel to $\begin{pmatrix} 1 \\ 1 \\ 1 \end{pmatrix},$ \[\mathbf{a} = t \begin{pmatrix} 1 \\ 1 \\ 1 \end{pmatrix} = \begin{pmatrix} t \\ t \\ t \end{pmatrix}\]for some scalar $t.$ Then \[\mathbf{b} = \begin{pmatrix} 6 \\ -3 \\ -6 \end{pmatrix} - \begin{pmatrix} t \\ t \\ t \end{pmatrix} = \begin{pmatrix} 6 - t \\ -3 - t \\ -6 - t \end{pmatrix}.\]We want this to be orthogonal to $\begin{pmatrix} 1 \\ 1 \\ 1 \end{pmatrix},$ so \[\begin{pmatrix} 6 - t \\ -3 - t \\ -6 - t \end{pmatrix} \cdot \begin{pmatrix} 1 \\ 1 \\ 1 \end{pmatrix} = 0.\]Then $(6 - t)(1) + (-3 - t)(1) + (-6 - t)(1) = 0.$ Solving, we find $t = -1.$ Then $\mathbf{b} = \boxed{\begin{pmatrix} 7 \\ -2 \\ -5 \end{pmatrix}}.$

Let $A = (\alpha,0,0),$ $B = (0,\beta,0),$ and $C = (0,0,\gamma).$ Then the equation of plane $ABC$ is given by \[\frac{x}{\alpha} + \frac{y}{\beta} + \frac{z}{\gamma} = 1.\]Since the distance between the origin and plane is 1, \[\frac{1}{\sqrt{\frac{1}{\alpha^2} + \frac{1}{\beta^2} + \frac{1}{\gamma^2}}} = 1.\]Then \[\frac{1}{\alpha^2} + \frac{1}{\beta^2} + \frac{1}{\gamma^2} = 1.\]The centroid of triangle $ABC$ is \[(p,q,r) = \left( \frac{\alpha}{3}, \frac{\beta}{3}, \frac{\gamma}{3} \right).\]Then $p = \frac{\alpha}{3},$ $q = \frac{\beta}{3},$ and $r = \frac{\gamma}{3},$ so \[\frac{1}{p^2} + \frac{1}{q^2} + \frac{1}{r^2} = \frac{9}{\alpha^2} + \frac{9}{\beta^2} + \frac{9}{\gamma^2} = \boxed{9}.\]

Find the area bounded by the graph of $y = \arccos(\sin x)$ and the $x$-axis on the interval $\frac{\pi}{2} \le x \le \frac{5 \pi}{2}.$
gpt
Suppose $\frac{\pi}{2} \le x \le \frac{3 \pi}{2}.$ Then \[\sin x = \cos \left( x - \frac{\pi}{2} \right),\]and $0 \le x - \frac{\pi}{2} \le \pi,$ so \[\arccos(\sin x) = x - \frac{\pi}{2}.\]Now, suppose $\frac{3 \pi}{2} \le x \le \frac{5 \pi}{2}.$ Then \[\sin x = \cos \left( \frac{5 \pi}{2} - x \right),\]and $0 \le \frac{5 \pi}{2} - x \le \pi,$ so \[\arccos(\sin x) = \frac{5 \pi}{2} - x.\]Thus, the graph of $y = \arccos(\sin x)$ for $\frac{\pi}{2} \le x \le \frac{5 \pi}{2}$ consists of two line segments, going from $\left( \frac{\pi}{2}, 0 \right)$ to $\left( \frac{3 \pi}{2}, \pi \right),$ then to $\left( \frac{5 \pi}{2}, 0 \right).$ [asy] unitsize(1 cm); draw((pi/2,0)--(3*pi/2,pi)--(5*pi/2,0),red); draw((pi/2,0)--(5*pi/2,0)); draw((pi/2,0)--(pi/2,pi)); label("$\frac{\pi}{2}$", (pi/2,0), S); label("$\frac{5 \pi}{2}$", (5*pi/2,0), S); label("$\frac{3 \pi}{2}$", (3*pi/2,0), S); label("$0$", (pi/2,0), W); label("$\pi$", (pi/2,pi), W); [/asy] Thus, the region we are interested in is a triangle with base $2 \pi$ and height $\pi,$ so its area is $\frac{1}{2} \cdot 2 \pi \cdot \pi = \boxed{\pi^2}.$

Find the number of $x$-intercepts on the graph of $y = \sin \frac{1}{x}$ (evaluated in terms of radians) in the interval $(0.0001, 0.001).$
gpt
The intercepts occur where $\sin \frac{1}{x}= 0$, that is, where $x = \frac{1}{k\pi}$ and $k$ is a nonzero integer. Solving \[0.0001 < \frac{1}{k\pi} < 0.001\]yields \[\frac{1000}{\pi} < k < \frac{10{,}000}{\pi}.\]Thus the number of $x$ intercepts in $(0.0001, 0.001)$ is \[\left\lfloor\frac{10{,}000}{\pi}\right\rfloor -\left\lfloor\frac{1000}{\pi}\right\rfloor = 3183 - 318 = \boxed{2865}.\]
