Find the number of ordered pairs $(a,b)$ of complex numbers such that \[a^3 b^5 = a^7 b^2 = 1.\]
gpt
From the equation $a^3 b^5 = 1,$ $a^6 b^{10} = 1.$ From the equation $a^7 b^2 = 1,$ $a^{35} b^{10} = 1.$ Dividing these equations, we get \[a^{29} = 1.\]Therefore, $a$ must be a 29th root of unity. From the equation $a^7 b^2 = 1,$ $a^{14} b^4 = 1.$ Hence, \[\frac{a^3 b^5}{a^{14} b^4} = 1.\]This leads to $b = a^{11}.$ Conversely, if $a$ is a 29th root of unity, and $b = a^{11},$ then \begin{align*} a^3 b^5 &= a^3 (a^{11})^5 = a^{58} = 1, \\ a^7 b^2 &= a^7 (a^{11})^2 = a^{29} = 1. \end{align*}Therefore, the solutions $(a,b)$ are of the form $(\omega, \omega^{11}),$ where $\omega$ is a 29th root of unity, giving us $\boxed{29}$ solutions.

There exists a scalar $c$ so that \[\mathbf{i} \times (\mathbf{v} \times \mathbf{i}) + \mathbf{j} \times (\mathbf{v} \times \mathbf{j}) + \mathbf{k} \times (\mathbf{v} \times \mathbf{k}) = c \mathbf{v}\]for all vectors $\mathbf{v}.$ Find $c.$
gpt
In general, the vector triple product states that for any vectors $\mathbf{a},$ $\mathbf{b},$ and $\mathbf{c},$ \[\mathbf{a} \times (\mathbf{b} \times \mathbf{c}) = (\mathbf{a} \cdot \mathbf{c}) \mathbf{b} - (\mathbf{a} \cdot \mathbf{b}) \mathbf{c}.\]So \begin{align*} \mathbf{i} \times (\mathbf{v} \times \mathbf{i}) &= (\mathbf{i} \cdot \mathbf{i}) \mathbf{v} - (\mathbf{i} \cdot \mathbf{v}) \mathbf{i} = \mathbf{v} - (\mathbf{i} \cdot \mathbf{v}) \mathbf{i}, \\ \mathbf{j} \times (\mathbf{v} \times \mathbf{j}) &= (\mathbf{j} \cdot \mathbf{j}) \mathbf{v} - (\mathbf{j} \cdot \mathbf{v}) \mathbf{j} = \mathbf{v} - (\mathbf{j} \cdot \mathbf{v}) \mathbf{j}, \\ \mathbf{k} \times (\mathbf{v} \times \mathbf{k}) &= (\mathbf{k} \cdot \mathbf{k}) \mathbf{v} - (\mathbf{k} \cdot \mathbf{v}) \mathbf{k} = \mathbf{v} - (\mathbf{k} \cdot \mathbf{v}) \mathbf{k}. \end{align*}Hence, \begin{align*} &\mathbf{i} \times (\mathbf{v} \times \mathbf{i}) + \mathbf{j} \times (\mathbf{v} \times \mathbf{j}) + \mathbf{k} \times (\mathbf{v} \times \mathbf{k}) \\ &= 3 \mathbf{v} - ((\mathbf{i} \cdot \mathbf{v}) \mathbf{i} + (\mathbf{j} \cdot \mathbf{v}) \mathbf{j} + (\mathbf{k} \cdot \mathbf{v}) \mathbf{k}) \\ &= 3 \mathbf{v} - \mathbf{v} = 2 \mathbf{v}. \end{align*}Thus, $c = \boxed{2}.$

Here is a plot of the line: [asy] size(200); import TrigMacros; //Gives the maximum line that fits in the box. path maxLine(pair A, pair B, real xmin, real xmax, real ymin, real ymax) { pair[] endpoints = intersectionpoints(A+10(B-A) -- A-10(B-A), (xmin, ymin)--(xmin, ymax)--(xmax, ymax)--(xmax, ymin)--cycle); if (endpoints.length >= 2) return endpoints[0]--endpoints[1]; else return nullpath; } rr_cartesian_axes(-3, 9, -3, 6,complexplane=false,usegrid=true); pair A = (2, 2); pair B = (6,3); draw(maxLine(A, B, -3, 9, -3, 6)); [/asy] We need a vector pointing from the origin to the line in the direction of $\begin{pmatrix}2\\1\end{pmatrix}$. That means that the tail of the vector will be at the origin, and the head of the vector will be somewhere on this blue line: [asy] size(200); import TrigMacros; //Gives the maximum line that fits in the box. path maxLine(pair A, pair B, real xmin, real xmax, real ymin, real ymax) { pair[] endpoints = intersectionpoints(A+10(B-A) -- A-10(B-A), (xmin, ymin)--(xmin, ymax)--(xmax, ymax)--(xmax, ymin)--cycle); if (endpoints.length >= 2) return endpoints[0]--endpoints[1]; else return nullpath; } rr_cartesian_axes(-3,9,-3,6,complexplane=false,usegrid=true); pair A = (2, 2); pair B = (6,3); draw(maxLine(A, B, -3, 9, -3, 6)); draw(maxLine((0,0), B, -3, 9, -3, 6), blue); [/asy] Since the head of the vector needs to be on the black line as well, it must be the intersection point of the two lines. The lines intersect when \[\begin{pmatrix} x \\ y \end{pmatrix} = k \begin{pmatrix} 2 \\ 1 \end{pmatrix} = \begin{pmatrix} 2k \\ k \end{pmatrix}\]for some real number $k.$ In other words, $4t + 2 = 2k$ and $t + 2 = k.$ Solving, we find $t = 1$ and $k = 3.$ Therefore, the lines intersect at $\boxed{\begin{pmatrix}6\\3\end{pmatrix}}.$ [asy] size(200); import TrigMacros; //Gives the maximum line that fits in the box. path maxLine(pair A, pair B, real xmin, real xmax, real ymin, real ymax) { pair[] endpoints = intersectionpoints(A+10(B-A) -- A-10(B-A), (xmin, ymin)--(xmin, ymax)--(xmax, ymax)--(xmax, ymin)--cycle); if (endpoints.length >= 2) return endpoints[0]--endpoints[1]; else return nullpath; } rr_cartesian_axes(-3,9,-3,6,complexplane=false,usegrid=true); pair A = (2, 2); pair B = (6,3); draw(maxLine(A, B, -3, 9, -3, 6)); draw((0,0)--B, red, Arrow(size = 0.3cm)); [/asy]

A line passes through the distinct vectors $\mathbf{a}$ and $\mathbf{b}.$ Then for a certain value of $k,$ the vector \[k \mathbf{a} + \frac{3}{4} \mathbf{b}\]must also lie on the line. Find $k.$
gpt
The line passing through $\mathbf{a}$ and $\mathbf{b}$ can be parameterized by \[\mathbf{a} + t (\mathbf{b} - \mathbf{a}).\]Taking $t = \frac{3}{4},$ we get \[\mathbf{a} + \frac{3}{4} (\mathbf{b} - \mathbf{a}) = \frac{1}{4} \mathbf{a} + \frac{3}{4} \mathbf{b}.\]Thus, $k = \boxed{\frac{1}{4}}.$

Let $S$ be a region in the plane with area 10. When we apply the matrix \[\begin{pmatrix} 2 & 1 \\ 7 & -3 \end{pmatrix}\]to $S,$ we obtain the region $S'.$ Find the area of $S'.$
gpt
Note that \[\begin{vmatrix} 2 & 1 \\ 7 & -3 \end{vmatrix} = (2)(-3) - (1)(7) = -13,\]so the matrix scales the area of any region by a factor of $|-13| = 13.$ In particular, the area of $S'$ is $13 \cdot 10 = \boxed{130}.$

Let $\mathbf{M}$ be a matrix, and let $\mathbf{v}$ and $\mathbf{w}$ be vectors, such that \[\mathbf{M} \mathbf{v} = \begin{pmatrix} 1 \\ -5 \end{pmatrix} \quad \text{and} \quad \mathbf{M} \mathbf{w} = \begin{pmatrix} 7 \\ 2 \end{pmatrix}.\]Compute $\mathbf{M} (-2 \mathbf{v} + \mathbf{w}).$
gpt
We can distribute, to get \begin{align*} \mathbf{M} (-2 \mathbf{v} + \mathbf{w}) &= \mathbf{M} (-2 \mathbf{v}) + \mathbf{M} \mathbf{w} \\ &= -2 \mathbf{M} \mathbf{v} + \mathbf{M} \mathbf{w} \\ &= -2 \begin{pmatrix} 1 \\ -5 \end{pmatrix} + \begin{pmatrix} 7 \\ 2 \end{pmatrix} \\ &= \boxed{\begin{pmatrix} 5 \\ 12 \end{pmatrix}}. \end{align*}

Let $\mathbf{a}$ and $\mathbf{b}$ be vectors, and let $\mathbf{m}$ be the midpoint of $\mathbf{a}$ and $\mathbf{b}.$ Given $\mathbf{m} = \begin{pmatrix} 3 \\ 7 \end{pmatrix}$ and $\mathbf{a} \cdot \mathbf{b} = 6,$ find $\|\mathbf{a}\|^2 + \|\mathbf{b}\|^2.$
gpt
Since $\mathbf{m}$ is the midpoint of $\mathbf{a}$ and $\mathbf{b},$ \[\mathbf{m} = \frac{\mathbf{a} + \mathbf{b}}{2}.\]Hence, $\mathbf{a} + \mathbf{b} = 2 \mathbf{m} = \begin{pmatrix} 6 \\ 14 \end{pmatrix}.$ Then \[\|\mathbf{a} + \mathbf{b}\|^2 = \left\| \begin{pmatrix} 6 \\ 14 \end{pmatrix} \right\|^2 = 6^2 + 14^2 = 232.\]But \begin{align*} \|\mathbf{a} + \mathbf{b}\|^2 &= (\mathbf{a} + \mathbf{b}) \cdot (\mathbf{a} + \mathbf{b}) \\ &= \mathbf{a} \cdot \mathbf{a} + 2 \mathbf{a} \cdot \mathbf{b} + \mathbf{b} \cdot \mathbf{b} \\ &= \|\mathbf{a}\|^2 + 2 \mathbf{a} \cdot \mathbf{b} + \|\mathbf{b}\|^2, \end{align*}so \[\|\mathbf{a}\|^2 + \|\mathbf{b}\|^2 = \|\mathbf{a} + \mathbf{b}\|^2 - 2 \mathbf{a} \cdot \mathbf{b} = 232 - 2 \cdot 6 = \boxed{220}.\]

The matrix \[\mathbf{M} = \begin{pmatrix} 0 & 2y & z \\ x & y & -z \\ x & -y & z \end{pmatrix}\]satisfies $\mathbf{M}^T \mathbf{M} = \mathbf{I}.$ Find $x^2 + y^2 + z^2.$ Note: For a matrix $\mathbf{A},$ $\mathbf{A}^T$ is the transpose of $\mathbf{A},$ which is generated by reflecting the matrix $\mathbf{A}$ over the main diagonal, going from the upper-left to the lower-right. So here, \[\mathbf{M}^T = \begin{pmatrix} 0 & x & x \\ 2y & y & -y \\ z & -z & z \end{pmatrix}.\]
gpt
We have that \[\mathbf{M}^T \mathbf{M} = \begin{pmatrix} 0 & x & x \\ 2y & y & -y \\ z & -z & z \end{pmatrix} \begin{pmatrix} 0 & 2y & z \\ x & y & -z \\ x & -y & z \end{pmatrix} = \begin{pmatrix} 2x^2 & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & 6y^2 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & 3z^2 \end{pmatrix}.\]We want this to equal $\mathbf{I},$ so $2x^2 = 6y^2 = 3z^2 = 1.$ Hence, \[x^2 + y^2 + z^2 = \frac{1}{2} + \frac{1}{6} + \frac{1}{3} = \boxed{1}.\]

Let $\mathbf{a}$ and $\mathbf{b}$ be nonzero vectors such that \[\|\mathbf{a}\| = \|\mathbf{b}\| = \|\mathbf{a} + \mathbf{b}\|.\]Find the angle between $\mathbf{a}$ and $\mathbf{b},$ in degrees.
gpt
Let $d = \|\mathbf{a}\| = \|\mathbf{b}\| = \|\mathbf{a} + \mathbf{b}\|.$ Then \begin{align*} d^2 &= \|\mathbf{a} + \mathbf{b}\|^2 \\ &= (\mathbf{a} + \mathbf{b}) \cdot (\mathbf{a} + \mathbf{b}) \\ &= \mathbf{a} \cdot \mathbf{a} + 2 \mathbf{a} \cdot \mathbf{b} + \mathbf{b} \cdot \mathbf{b} \\ &= \|\mathbf{a}\|^2 + 2 \mathbf{a} \cdot \mathbf{b} + \|\mathbf{b}\|^2 \\ &= 2d^2 + 2 \mathbf{a} \cdot \mathbf{b}, \end{align*}so $\mathbf{a} \cdot \mathbf{b} = -\frac{d^2}{2}.$ Hence, if $\theta$ is the angle between $\mathbf{a}$ and $\mathbf{b},$ then \[\cos \theta = \frac{\mathbf{a} \cdot \mathbf{b}}{\|\mathbf{a}\| \|\mathbf{b}\|} = \frac{-\frac{d^2}{2}}{d^2} = -\frac{1}{2},\]so $\theta = \boxed{120^\circ}.$

Find $\tan \frac{9 \pi}{4}.$
gpt
Converting to degrees, \[\frac{9 \pi}{4} = \frac{180^\circ}{\pi} \cdot \frac{9 \pi}{4} = 405^\circ.\]Since the tangent function has period $360^\circ,$ $\tan 405^\circ = \tan (405^\circ - 360^\circ) = \tan 45^\circ = \boxed{1}.$

Find the range of $f(x) = \sin^4 x - \sin x \cos x +\cos^4 x.$
gpt
We know that $\sin^2 x + \cos^2 x = 1.$ Squaring, we get \[\sin^4 x + 2 \sin^2 x \cos^2 x + \cos^4 x = 1.\]Hence, \begin{align*} f(x) &= (\sin^4 x + \cos^4 x) - \sin x \cos x \\ &= (1 - 2 \sin^2 x \cos^2 x) - \sin x \cos x \\ &= 1 - \frac{1}{2} \sin 2x - \frac{1}{2} \sin^2 2x \\ &= \frac{9}{8} - \frac{1}{2} \left( \sin 2x + \frac{1}{2} \right)^2. \end{align*}Since the range of $\sin x$ is $[-1,1],$ the range of $f(x)$ reaches a minimum when $\sin 2x = 1,$ in which case $f(x) = 0,$ and a maximum when $\sin 2x = -\frac{1}{2},$ in which case $f(x) = \frac{9}{8}.$ Therefore, the range of $f(x)$ is $\boxed{\left[ 0, \frac{9}{8} \right]}.$

A line is parameterized by a parameter $t,$ so that the vector on the line at $t = 2$ is $\begin{pmatrix} 1 \\ 4 \end{pmatrix},$ and the vector on the line at $t = 3$ is $\begin{pmatrix} 3 \\ -4 \end{pmatrix}.$ Find the vector on the line at $t = -7.$
gpt
Let the line be \[\begin{pmatrix} x \\ y \end{pmatrix} = \mathbf{a} + t \mathbf{d}.\]Then from the given information, \begin{align*} \begin{pmatrix} 1 \\ 4 \end{pmatrix} = \mathbf{a} + 2 \mathbf{d}, \\ \begin{pmatrix} 3 \\ -4 \end{pmatrix} = \mathbf{a} + 3 \mathbf{d}. \end{align*}We can treat this system as a linear set of equations in $\mathbf{a}$ and $\mathbf{d}.$ Accordingly, we can solve to get $\mathbf{a} = \begin{pmatrix} -3 \\ 20 \end{pmatrix}$ and $\mathbf{d} = \begin{pmatrix} 2 \\ -8 \end{pmatrix}.$ Hence, \[\begin{pmatrix} x \\ y \end{pmatrix} = \begin{pmatrix} -3 \\ 20 \end{pmatrix} + t \begin{pmatrix} 2 \\ -8 \end{pmatrix}.\]Taking $t = -7,$ we get \[\begin{pmatrix} x \\ y \end{pmatrix} = \begin{pmatrix} -3 \\ 20 \end{pmatrix} - 7 \begin{pmatrix} 2 \\ -8 \end{pmatrix} = \boxed{\begin{pmatrix} -17 \\ 76 \end{pmatrix}}.\]

Note that $x^7 = \cos 2 \pi + i \sin 2 \pi = 1,$ so $x^7 - 1 = 0,$ which factors as \[(x - 1)(x^6 + x^5 + x^4 + x^3 + x^2 + x + 1) = 0.\]Since $x \neq 1,$ \[x^6 + x^5 + x^4 + x^3 + x^2 + x + 1 = 0.\]Then \begin{align*} (2x + x^2)(2x^6 + x^{12}) &= 4x^7 + 2x^8 + 2x^{13} + x^{14} = 4 + 2x + 2x^6 + 1 = 5 + 2x + 2x^6, \\ (2x^2 + x^4)(2x^5 + x^{10}) &= 4x^7 + 2x^9 + 2x^{12} + x^{14} = 4 + 2x^2 + 2x^5 + 1 = 5 + 2x^2 + 2x^5, \\ (2x^3 + x^6)(2x^4 + x^8) &= 4x^7 + 2x^{10} + 2x^{11} + x^{14} = 4 + 2x^3 + 2x^4 + 1 = 5 + 2x^3 + 2x^4. \end{align*}Let $\alpha = x + x^6,$ $\beta = x^2 + x^5,$ and $\gamma = x^3 + x^4,$ so we want to compute \[(5 + 2 \alpha)(5 + 2 \beta)(5 + 2 \gamma).\]Then \[\alpha + \beta + \gamma = x + x^6 + x^2 + x^5 + x^3 + x^4 = -1.\]Also, \begin{align*} \alpha \beta + \alpha \gamma + \beta \gamma &= (x + x^6)(x^2 + x^5) + (x + x^6)(x^3 + x^4) + (x^2 + x^5)(x^3 + x^4) \\ &= x^3 + x^6 + x^8 + x^{11} + x^4 + x^5 + x^9 + x^{10} + x^5 + x^6 + x^8 + x^9 \\ &= x^3 + x^6 + x + x^4 + x^4 + x^5 + x^2 + x^3 + x^5 + x^6 + x + x^2 \\ &= 2x + 2x^2 + 2x^3 + 2x^4 + 2x^5 + 2x^6 \\ &= -2 \end{align*}and \begin{align*} \alpha \beta \gamma &= (x + x^6)(x^2 + x^5)(x^3 + x^4) \\ &= (x^3 + x^6 + x^8 + x^{11})(x^3 + x^4) \\ &= (x^3 + x^6 + x + x^4)(x^3 + x^4) \\ &= x^6 + x^9 + x^4 + x^7 + x^7 + x^{10} + x^5 + x^8 \\ &= x^6 + x^2 + x^4 + 1 + 1 + x^3 + x^5 + x \\ &= 1. \end{align*}Therefore, \begin{align*} (5 + 2 \alpha)(5 + 2 \beta)(5 + 2 \gamma) &= 125 + 50 (\alpha + \beta + \gamma) + 20 (\alpha \beta + \alpha \gamma + \beta \gamma) + 8 \alpha \beta \gamma \\ &= 125 + 50(-1) + 20(-2) + 8(1) \\ &= \boxed{43}. \end{align*}

Compute the number of real solutions $(x,y,z,w)$ to the system of equations: \begin{align*} x &= z+w+zwx, \\ y &= w+x+wxy, \\ z &= x+y+xyz, \\ w &= y+z+yzw. \end{align*}
gpt
We can re-write the first equation as \[x = \frac{w+z}{1-wz}.\]which is an indication to consider trigonometric substitution. Let $x = \tan a,$ $y = \tan b,$ $z = \tan c,$ and $w = \tan d,$ where $-90^{\circ} < a,$ $b,$ $c,$ $d < 90^{\circ}$. Then \[\tan a = \frac{\tan d + \tan c}{1 - \tan d \tan c} = \tan (c + d).\]Similarly, \begin{align*} \tan b &= \tan (d + a), \\ \tan c &= \tan (a + b), \\ \tan d &= \tan (b + c). \end{align*}Since the tangent function has period $180^\circ,$ \begin{align*} a &\equiv c + d, \\ b &\equiv d + a, \\ c &\equiv a + b, \\ d &\equiv b + c, \end{align*}where all the congruences are taken modulo $180^\circ.$ Adding all these congruences, we get $a + b + c + d \equiv 0.$ Then \[a \equiv c + d \equiv -a - b,\]so $b \equiv -2a.$ Similarly, $c \equiv -2b,$ $d \equiv -2c,$ and $a \equiv -2d.$ Then \[a \equiv -2d \equiv 4c \equiv -8b \equiv 16a,\]so $15a \equiv 0.$ Hence, $(a,b,c,d) \equiv (t,-2t,4t,-8t),$ where $15t \equiv 0.$ Since $a \equiv c + d,$ \[t \equiv 4t - 8t \equiv -4t,\]so $5t \equiv 0.$ We can check that this condition always leads to a solution, giving us $\boxed{5}$ solutions. Note: We divided the first equation to get \[x = \frac{w + z}{1 - wz},\]so we should check that $wz \neq 1$ for all five solutions. If $wz = 1,$ then from the equation $x = z + w + zwx,$ \[z + w = 0.\]Then $wz = -w^2,$ which cannot be equal to 1, contradiction. The same holds for the division in the other equations.

Since $\sin 66^\circ = \cos 24^\circ$ and $\sin 78^\circ = \cos 12^\circ,$ the product is equal to \[\sin 6^\circ \cos 12^\circ \cos 24^\circ \sin 42^\circ.\]Then \[\sin 6^\circ \cos 12^\circ \cos 24^\circ \sin 42^\circ = \frac{\cos 6^\circ \sin 6^\circ \cos 12^\circ \cos 24^\circ \sin 42^\circ}{\cos 6^\circ}.\]By the double-angle formula, $2 \cos 6^\circ \sin 6^\circ = \sin 12^\circ,$ so \[\frac{\cos 6^\circ \sin 6^\circ \cos 12^\circ \cos 24^\circ \sin 42^\circ}{\cos 6^\circ} = \frac{\sin 12^\circ \cos 12^\circ \cos 24^\circ \sin 42^\circ}{2 \cos 6^\circ}.\]From the same formula, \begin{align*} \frac{\sin 12^\circ \cos 12^\circ \cos 24^\circ \sin 42^\circ}{2 \cos 6^\circ} &= \frac{\sin 24^\circ \cos 24^\circ \sin 42^\circ}{4 \cos 6^\circ} \\ &= \frac{\sin 48^\circ \sin 42^\circ}{8 \cos 6^\circ}. \end{align*}Then \[\frac{\sin 48^\circ \sin 42^\circ}{8 \cos 6^\circ} = \frac{\cos 42^\circ \sin 42^\circ}{8 \cos 6^\circ} = \frac{\sin 84^\circ}{16 \cos 6^\circ} = \frac{\cos 6^\circ}{16 \cos 6^\circ} = \boxed{\frac{1}{16}}.\]

gpt
From the angle addition formula, \[1 = \tan 45^\circ = \tan (20^\circ + 25^\circ) = \frac{\tan 20^\circ + \tan 25^\circ}{1 - \tan 20^\circ \tan 25^\circ},\]so $\tan 20^\circ + \tan 25^\circ = 1 - \tan 20^\circ \tan 25^\circ.$ Then \[(1 + \tan 20^\circ)(1 + \tan 25^\circ) = 1 + \tan 20^\circ + \tan 25^\circ + \tan 20^\circ \tan 25^\circ = \boxed{2}.\]

Let $\mathbf{a} = \begin{pmatrix} 1 \\ -2 \\ -5 \end{pmatrix},$ $\mathbf{b} = \begin{pmatrix} \sqrt{7} \\ 4 \\ -1 \end{pmatrix},$ and $\mathbf{c} = \begin{pmatrix} 13 \\ -4 \\ 17 \end{pmatrix}.$ Find the angle between the vectors $\mathbf{a}$ and $(\mathbf{a} \cdot \mathbf{c}) \mathbf{b} - (\mathbf{a} \cdot \mathbf{b}) \mathbf{c},$ in degrees.
gpt
Note that the dot product of $\mathbf{a}$ and $(\mathbf{a} \cdot \mathbf{c}) \mathbf{b} - (\mathbf{a} \cdot \mathbf{b}) \mathbf{c}$ is \[\mathbf{a} \cdot [(\mathbf{a} \cdot \mathbf{c}) \mathbf{b} - (\mathbf{a} \cdot \mathbf{b}) \mathbf{c}] = (\mathbf{a} \cdot \mathbf{c}) (\mathbf{a} \cdot \mathbf{b}) - (\mathbf{a} \cdot \mathbf{b}) (\mathbf{a} \cdot \mathbf{c}) = 0.\]Therefore, the angle between the vectors is $\boxed{90^\circ}.$

Find $x$ if \[3 \arctan \frac{1}{4} + \arctan \frac{1}{20} + \arctan \frac{1}{x} = \frac{\pi}{4}.\]
gpt
Note that $\arctan \frac{1}{4}$ is the argument of $4 + i,$ $\arctan \frac{1}{20}$ is the argument of $20 + i,$ and $\arctan x$ is the argument of $x + i.$ Therefore, $3 \arctan \frac{1}{4} + \arctan \frac{1}{20} + \arctan \frac{1}{x}$ is the argument of \begin{align*} (4 + i)^3 (20 + i)(x + i) &= (52 + 47i)(20 + i)(x + i) \\ &= (993 + 992i)(x + i) \\ &= (993x - 992) + (993 + 992x) i. \end{align*}But this argument is also $\frac{\pi}{4},$ which is the argument of $1 + i.$ Thus, we want the real and imaginary parts to be equal: \[993x - 992 = 993 + 992x.\]Solving, find $x = \boxed{1985}.$

Consider two solid spherical balls, one centered at $\left( 0, 0, \frac{21}{2} \right),$ with radius 6, and the other centered at $(0,0,1)$ with radius $\frac{9}{2}.$ How many points $(x,y,z)$ with only integer coefficients are there in the intersection of the balls?
gpt
If $(x,y,z)$ lies inside the first sphere, then \[x^2 + y^2 + \left( z - \frac{21}{2} \right)^2 \le 36,\]and if $(x,y,z)$ lies inside the second sphere, then \[x^2 + y^2 + (z - 1)^2 \le \frac{81}{4}.\]Thus, we are looking for the number of lattice points that satisfy both inequalities. From the first inequality, $z - \frac{21}{2} \ge -6,$ so $z \ge \frac{9}{2}.$ From the second inequality, $z - 1 \le \frac{9}{2},$ so $z \le \frac{11}{2}.$ Since $z$ must be an integer, $z = 5.$ Then \[x^2 + y^2 \le 36 - \left( 5 - \frac{21}{2} \right)^2 = \frac{23}{4}\]and \[x^2 + y^2 \le \frac{81}{4} - (5 - 1)^2 = \frac{17}{4}.\]Since $x$ and $y$ are integers, $x^2 + y^2 \le 4.$ The possible pairs $(x,y)$ are then $(-2,0),$ $(-1,-1),$ $(-1,0),$ $(-1,1),$ $(0,-2),$ $(0,-1),$ $(0,0),$ $(0,1),$ $(0,2),$ $(1,-1),$ $(1,0),$ $(1,1),$ and $(2,0),$ giving us a total of $\boxed{13}$ points.

Since the cosine function has period $360^\circ,$ \[\cos 259^\circ = \cos (259^\circ - 360^\circ) = \cos (-101^\circ).\]And since the cosine function is even, $\cos (-101^\circ) = \cos 101^\circ,$ so $n = \boxed{101}.$

Let $\mathbf{a}$ denote $\overrightarrow{A},$ etc. Since $\overline{BE}$ is the angle bisector, by the Angle Bisector Theorem, \[\frac{BD}{CD} = \frac{AB}{AC} = \frac{7}{5},\]so $\mathbf{d} = \frac{5}{12} \mathbf{b} + \frac{7}{12} \mathbf{c}.$ Similarly, \[\frac{AE}{CE} = \frac{AB}{BC} = \frac{7}{3},\]so $\mathbf{e} = \frac{3}{10} \mathbf{a} + \frac{7}{10} \mathbf{c}.$ [asy] unitsize(1 cm); pair A, B, C, D, E, P; B = (0,0); C = (3,0); A = intersectionpoint(arc(B,7,0,180),arc(C,5,0,180)); D = extension(A,incenter(A,B,C),B,C); E = extension(B,incenter(A,B,C),A,C); P = incenter(A,B,C); draw(A--B--C--cycle); draw(A--D); draw(B--E); label("$A$", A, N); label("$B$", B, SW); label("$C$", C, SE); label("$D$", D, S); label("$E$", E, SE); label("$P$", P, NW); [/asy] Isolating $\mathbf{c}$ in each equation, we obtain \[\mathbf{c} = \frac{12 \mathbf{d} - 5 \mathbf{b}}{7} = \frac{10 \mathbf{e} - 3 \mathbf{a}}{7}.\]Then $12 \mathbf{d} - 5 \mathbf{b} = 10 \mathbf{e} - 3 \mathbf{a},$ so $3 \mathbf{a} + 12 \mathbf{d} = 5 \mathbf{b} + 10 \mathbf{e},$ or \[\frac{3}{15} \mathbf{a} + \frac{12}{15} \mathbf{d} = \frac{5}{15} \mathbf{b} + \frac{10}{15} \mathbf{e}.\]Since the coefficients on both sides of the equation add up to 1, the vector on the left side lies on line $AD,$ and the vector on the right side lies on line $BE.$ Therefore, this common vector is $\mathbf{p}.$ Furthermore, $\frac{BP}{PE} = \frac{10}{5} = \boxed{2}.$

Squaring both equations, we get \begin{align*} 9 \sin^2 A + 24 \sin A \cos B + 16 \cos^2 B &= 36, \\ 9 \cos^2 A + 24 \cos A \sin B + 16 \sin^2 B &= 1. \end{align*}Adding these equations, and using the identity $\cos^2 \theta + \sin^2 \theta = 1,$ we get \[24 \sin A \cos B + 24 \cos A \sin B = 12,\]so \[\sin A \cos B + \cos A \sin B = \frac{1}{2}.\]Then from the angle addition formula, $\sin (A + B) = \frac{1}{2},$ so \[\sin C = \sin (180^\circ - A - B) = \sin (A + B) = \frac{1}{2}.\]Hence, $C = 30^\circ$ or $C = 150^\circ.$ If $C = 150^\circ,$ then $A < 30^\circ,$ so \[3 \sin A + 4 \cos B < 3 \cdot \frac{1}{2} + 4 < 6,\]contradiction.

The form \[\begin{pmatrix} x \\ y \end{pmatrix} = \mathbf{v} + t \mathbf{d}\]parameterizes a line if and only if $\mathbf{v}$ lies on the line, and $\mathbf{d}$ is a possible direction vector for the line.

Equating the coefficients of $c$, we get \[1 - ki = k \sqrt{3} - ki,\]so $k = 1/\sqrt{3}$.

We can write the first equation as \[\frac{\cos^4 \alpha}{\cos^2 \beta} + \frac{\sin^4 \alpha}{\sin^2 \beta} = \cos^2 \alpha + \sin^2 \alpha.\]Then \[\cos^4 \alpha \sin^2 \beta + \sin^4 \alpha \cos^2 \beta = \cos^2 \alpha \cos^2 \beta \sin^2 \beta + \sin^2 \alpha \cos^2 \beta \sin^2 \beta,\]so \[\cos^4 \alpha \sin^2 \beta + \sin^4 \alpha \cos^2 \beta - \cos^2 \alpha \cos^2 \beta \sin^2 \beta - \sin^2 \alpha \cos^2 \beta \sin^2 \beta = 0.\]We can write this as \[\cos^2 \alpha \sin^2 \beta (\cos^2 \alpha - \cos^2 \beta) + \sin^2 \alpha \cos^2 \beta (\sin^2 \alpha - \sin^2 \beta) = 0.\]Note that \[\sin^2 \alpha - \sin^2 \beta = (1 - \cos^2 \alpha) - (1 - \cos^2 \beta) = \cos^2 \beta - \cos^2 \alpha,\]so \[\cos^2 \alpha \sin^2 \beta (\cos^2 \alpha - \cos^2 \beta) - \sin^2 \alpha \cos^2 \beta (\cos^2 \alpha - \cos^2 \beta) = 0.\]Hence, \[(\cos^2 \alpha - \cos^2 \beta)(\cos^2 \alpha \sin^2 \beta - \sin^2 \alpha \cos^2 \beta) = 0.\]Therefore, either $\cos^2 \alpha = \cos^2 \beta$ or $\cos^2 \alpha \sin^2 \beta = \sin^2 \alpha \cos^2 \beta.$ If $\cos^2 \alpha \sin^2 \beta = \sin^2 \alpha \cos^2 \beta,$ then \[\cos^2 \alpha (1 - \cos^2 \beta) = (1 - \cos^2 \alpha) \cos^2 \beta,\]which simplifies to $\cos^2 \alpha = \cos^2 \beta.$ So in either case, $\cos^2 \alpha = \cos^2 \beta.$ Then $\sin^2 \alpha = \sin^2 \beta,$ so \[\frac{\sin^4 \beta}{\sin^2 \alpha} + \frac{\cos^4 \beta}{\cos^2 \alpha} = \frac{\sin^4 \beta}{\sin^2 \beta} + \frac{\cos^4 \beta}{\cos^2 \beta} = \sin^2 \beta + \cos^2 \beta = \boxed{1}.\]

The line segment connecting $(-2,7)$ and $(3,11)$ can be parameterized by the equations \begin{align*} x &= at + b, \\ y &= ct + d, \end{align*}where $0 \le t \le 1,$ and $t = 0$ corresponds to the point $(-2,7).$ Find $a^2 + b^2 + c^2 + d^2.$
gpt
Taking $t = 0,$ we get $(x,y) = (b,d) = (-2,7),$ so $b = -2$ and $d = 7.$ Taking $t = 1,$ we get $(x,y) = (a + b, c + d) = (3,11),$ so $a + b = 3$ and $c + d = 11.$ Hence, $a = 5$ and $c = 4.$ Then $a^2 + b^2 + c^2 + d^2 = 5^2 + (-2)^2 + 4^2 + 7^2 = \boxed{94}.$

Find the smallest positive angle $\theta,$ in degrees, for which \[\cos \theta = \sin 60^\circ + \cos 42^\circ - \sin 12^\circ - \cos 6^\circ.\]
gpt
We have that \begin{align*} \sin 60^\circ &= \cos 30^\circ, \\ \cos 42^\circ &= \cos (360^\circ - 42^\circ) = \cos 318^\circ, \\ -\sin 12^\circ &= -\cos (90^\circ - 12^\circ) = -\cos 78^\circ = \cos (180^\circ - 78^\circ) = \cos 102^\circ, \\ -\cos 6^\circ &= \cos (180^\circ - 6^\circ) = \cos 174^\circ, \end{align*}so \[\cos \theta = \cos 30^\circ + \cos 318^\circ + \cos 102^\circ + \cos 174^\circ.\]If we plot $(\cos t, \sin t)$ for $t = 30^\circ,$ $102^\circ,$ $174^\circ,$ $246^\circ,$ and $318^\circ,$ the five points form the vertices of a regular pentagon. [asy] unitsize(2 cm); pair A, B, C, D, E, O; A = dir(30); B = dir(30 + 360/5); C = dir(30 + 2*360/5); D = dir(30 + 3*360/5); E = dir(30 + 4*360/5); O = (0,0); draw((-1.2,0)--(1.2,0)); draw((0,-1.2)--(0,1.2)); draw(Circle(O,1)); draw(O--A); draw(O--B); draw(O--C); draw(O--D); draw(O--E); label("$30^\circ$", A, A); label("$102^\circ$", B, B); label("$174^\circ$", C, C); label("$246^\circ$", D, D); label("$318^\circ$", E, E); [/asy] Then by symmetry, the sum of the $x$-coordinates is \[\cos 30^\circ + \cos 102^\circ + \cos 174^\circ + \cos 246^\circ + \cos 318^\circ = 0.\]Thus, \begin{align*} \cos \theta &= -\cos 246^\circ \\ &= -\cos (360^\circ - 246^\circ) \\ &= -\cos 114^\circ \\ &= \cos (180^\circ - 114^\circ) \\ &= \cos 66^\circ. \end{align*}Thus, the smallest such $\theta$ is $\boxed{66^\circ}.$

Let $\mathbf{P}$ be the matrix for projecting onto the vector $\begin{pmatrix} -3 \\ -2 \end{pmatrix}.$ Find $\mathbf{P}^{-1}.$ If the inverse does not exist, then enter the zero matrix.
gpt
A projection matrix is always of the form \[\begin{pmatrix} \cos^2 \theta & \cos \theta \sin \theta \\ \cos \theta \sin \theta & \sin^2 \theta \end{pmatrix},\]where the vector being projected onto has direction vector $\begin{pmatrix} \cos \theta \\ \sin \theta \end{pmatrix}.$ The determinant of this matrix is then \[\cos^2 \theta \sin^2 \theta - (\cos \theta \sin \theta)^2 = 0,\]so the inverse does not exist, and the answer is the zero matrix $\boxed{\begin{pmatrix} 0 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 \end{pmatrix}}.$

Let $P$ be a point inside triangle $ABC$ such that \[\overrightarrow{PA} + 2 \overrightarrow{PB} + 3 \overrightarrow{PC} = \mathbf{0}.\]Find the ratio of the area of triangle $ABC$ to the area of triangle $APC.$
gpt
We let $\mathbf{a} = \overrightarrow{A},$ etc. Then the equation $\overrightarrow{PA} + 2 \overrightarrow{PB} + 3 \overrightarrow{PC} = \mathbf{0}$ becomes \[\mathbf{a} - \mathbf{p} + 2 (\mathbf{b} - \mathbf{p}) + 3 (\mathbf{c} - \mathbf{p}) = \mathbf{0}.\]Solving for $\mathbf{p},$ we find \[\mathbf{p} = \frac{\mathbf{a} + 2 \mathbf{b} + 3 \mathbf{c}}{6}.\]Let lines $BP$ and $AC$ intersect at $E.$ [asy] unitsize(0.6 cm); pair A, B, C, E, P; A = (2,5); B = (0,0); C = (6,0); P = (A + 2*B + 3*C)/6; E = extension(B,P,A,C); draw(A--B--C--cycle); draw(A--P); draw(B--P); draw(C--P); draw(P--E); label("$A$", A, N); label("$B$", B, SW); label("$C$", C, SE); label("$E$", E, NE); label("$P$", P, S); [/asy] From the equation $\mathbf{p} = \frac{\mathbf{a} + 2 \mathbf{b} + 3 \mathbf{c}}{6},$ $6 \mathbf{p} - 2 \mathbf{b} = \mathbf{a} + 3 \mathbf{c},$ so \[\frac{6}{4} \mathbf{p} - \frac{2}{4} \mathbf{b} = \frac{1}{4} \mathbf{a} + \frac{3}{4} \mathbf{c}.\]Since the coefficients on both sides of the equation add up to 1, the vector on the left side lies on line $BP,$ and the vector on the right side lies on line $AC.$ Therefore, this common vector is $\mathbf{e}$: \[\mathbf{e} = \frac{6}{4} \mathbf{p} - \frac{2}{4} \mathbf{b} = \frac{3}{2} \mathbf{p} - \frac{1}{2} \mathbf{b}.\]Isolating $\mathbf{p},$ we find \[\mathbf{p} = \frac{1}{3} \mathbf{b} + \frac{2}{3} \mathbf{e}.\]Therefore, $BP:PE = 2:1.$ Triangles $ABE$ and $APE$ have the same height with respect to base $\overline{BE},$ so \[\frac{[ABE]}{[APE]} = \frac{BE}{PE} = 3.\]Similarly, triangles $CBE$ and $CPE$ have the same height with respect to base $\overline{BE}$, so \[\frac{[CBE]}{[CPE]} = \frac{BE}{PE} = 3.\]Therefore, \[\frac{[ABC]}{[APC]} = \frac{[ABE] + [CBE]}{[APE] + [CPE]} = \boxed{3}.\]

Find the area of the parallelogram generated by $\begin{pmatrix} 3 \\ 1 \\ -2 \end{pmatrix}$ and $\begin{pmatrix} 1 \\ -3 \\ 4 \end{pmatrix}.$ [asy] unitsize(0.4 cm); pair A, B, C, D; A = (0,0); B = (7,2); C = (1,3); D = B + C; draw(A--B,Arrow(6)); draw(A--C,Arrow(6)); draw(B--D--C); [/asy]

In general, the area of the parallelogram generated by two vectors $\mathbf{v}$ and $\mathbf{w}$ is \[\|\mathbf{v}\| \|\mathbf{w}\| \sin \theta,\]where $\theta$ is the angle between $\mathbf{v}$ and $\mathbf{w}.$ This is precisely the magnitude of $\mathbf{v} \times \mathbf{w}.$ Thus, the area of the parallelogram is \[\left\| \begin{pmatrix} 3 \\ 1 \\ -2 \end{pmatrix} \times \begin{pmatrix} 1 \\ -3 \\ 4 \end{pmatrix} \right\| = \left\| \begin{pmatrix} -2 \\ -14 \\ -10 \end{pmatrix} \right\| = \boxed{10 \sqrt{3}}.\]
