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 $c.$
|

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, $c = \boxed{2}.$

\end{align*}Find a vector $\begin{pmatrix}a \\ b \end{pmatrix}$ pointing from the origin to this line that is parallel to $\begin{pmatrix}2 \\1 \end{pmatrix}$.

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 $\boxed{\begin{pmatrix}6\\3\end{pmatrix}}.$

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}}.

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 $\theta = \boxed{120^\circ}.$

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
\[\begin{pmatrix} x \\ y \end{pmatrix} = \begin{pmatrix} -3 \\ 20 \end{pmatrix} - 7 \begin{pmatrix} 2 \\ -8 \end{pmatrix} = \boxed{\begin{pmatrix} -17 \\ 76 \end{pmatrix}}.\]

So, by looking at the three vertices, we have $10a+d=10,$ $10b+d=11,$ and $10c+d=12.$ Then $10a = 10 - d,$ $10b = 11 - d,$ and $10c = 12 - d,$ so
\[(10-d)^2+(11-d)^2+(12-d)^2= 100\cdot(a^2+b^2+c^2)=100.\]Solving for $d,$ we find
\[d = 11 \pm 7 \sqrt{\frac{2}{3}}.\]Note that the distance from the origin to the plane is $d,$ which must be less than 10, so
\[d = 11 - 7 \sqrt{\frac{2}{3}} = \frac{33 - \sqrt{294}}{3}.\]The final answer is $33+294+3=\boxed{330}$.

\[2 \sin \left( \frac{a + b}{2} \right) \cos \left( \frac{a - b}{2} \right) = \frac{3}{11}.\]Dividing these equations, we get

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) \\

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.

Compute $\sin 6^\circ \sin 42^\circ \sin 66^\circ \sin 78^\circ.$
|
gpt

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
\[\frac{\sin 48^\circ \sin 42^\circ}{8 \cos 6^\circ} = \frac{\cos 42^\circ \sin 42^\circ}{8 \cos 6^\circ} = \frac{\sin 84^\circ}{16 \cos 6^\circ} = \frac{\cos 6^\circ}{16 \cos 6^\circ} = \boxed{\frac{1}{16}}.\]

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
\[(1 + \tan 20^\circ)(1 + \tan 25^\circ) = 1 + \tan 20^\circ + \tan 25^\circ + \tan 20^\circ \tan 25^\circ = \boxed{2}.\]

Note that the dot product of $\mathbf{a}$ and $(\mathbf{a} \cdot \mathbf{c}) \mathbf{b} - (\mathbf{a} \cdot \mathbf{b}) \mathbf{c}$ is

Find $x$ if

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.

Let $\mathbf{a}$ denote $\overrightarrow{A},$ etc.
Since $\overline{BE}$ is the angle bisector, by the Angle Bisector Theorem,

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, $\frac{BP}{PE} = \frac{10}{5} = \boxed{2}.$

Note that $\mathbf{p}$ is the midpoint of $\mathbf{v}$ and $\mathbf{r}.$ Thus, we can use $\mathbf{p}$ to compute the reflection matrix.

From the projection formula,
\begin{align*}
\mathbf{p} &= \operatorname{proj}_{\begin{pmatrix} 3 \\ 2 \end{pmatrix}} \begin{pmatrix} x \\ y \end{pmatrix} \\

&= \begin{pmatrix} \frac{9x + 6y}{13} \\ \frac{6x + 4y}{13} \end{pmatrix}.
\end{align*}Since $\mathbf{p}$ is the midpoint of $\mathbf{v}$ and $\mathbf{r},$
\[\mathbf{p} = \frac{\mathbf{v} + \mathbf{r}}{2}.\]Then
\begin{align*}
\mathbf{r} &= 2 \mathbf{p} - \mathbf{v} \\
&= 2 \begin{pmatrix} \frac{9x + 6y}{13} \\ \frac{6x + 4y}{13} \end{pmatrix} - \begin{pmatrix} x \\ y \end{pmatrix} \\
&= \begin{pmatrix} \frac{5x + 12y}{13} \\ \frac{12x - 5y}{13} \end{pmatrix} \\
&= \begin{pmatrix} 5/13 & 12/13 \\ 12/13 & -5/13 \end{pmatrix} \begin{pmatrix} x \\ y \end{pmatrix}.

\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. Hence, the only possible value of $C$ is $\boxed{30^\circ}.$

We want triangle $A'B'C'$ to be equilateral, so we want $a'$, $b'$, and $c'$ to satisfy
\[c' - a' = e^{\pi i/3} (b' - a').\]Substituting our expressions for $a'$, $b'$, and $c'$, and using the fact that
\[e^{\pi i/3} = \frac{1}{2} + \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} i,\]we get
\[c + ki(b - a) - a - ki(c - b) = \left( \frac{1}{2} + \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} i \right) [b + ki(a - c) - a - ki(c - b)].\]Expanding and simplifying both sides, we get
\begin{align*}
&(-1 - ki) a + 2ki b + (1 - ki) c \\
&= \frac{-k \sqrt{3} - 1 + ki - i \sqrt{3}}{2} \cdot a + \frac{- k \sqrt{3} + 1 + ki + i \sqrt{3}}{2} \cdot b + (k \sqrt{3} - ki) c.
\end{align*}We want the coefficients of $a$, $b$, and $c$ to be equal on both sides. Equating the coefficients of $c$, we get
\[1 - ki = k \sqrt{3} - ki,\]so $k = 1/\sqrt{3}$. For this value of $k$, both coefficients of $a$ become $-1 - i/\sqrt{3}$, and both coefficients of $b$ become $2i/\sqrt{3}$.
Hence, the value of $k$ that works is $k = \boxed{\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}}$.

Find the minimum value of
\[(\sin x + \csc x)^2 + (\cos x + \sec x)^2\]for $0 < x < \frac{\pi}{2}.$
|
gpt

We can write
\begin{align*}
(\sin x + \csc x)^2 + (\cos x + \sec x)^2 &= \sin^2 x + 2 + \csc^2 x + \cos^2 x + 2 + \sec^2 x \\
&= \csc^2 x + \sec^2 x + 5 \\
&= \frac{1}{\sin^2 x} + \frac{1}{\cos^2 x} + 5 \\
&= \frac{\cos^2 x + \sin^2 x}{\sin^2 x} + \frac{\cos^2 x + \sin^2 x}{\cos^2 x} + 5 \\
&= \frac{\cos^2 x}{\sin^2 x} + \frac{\sin^2 x}{\cos^2 x} + 7 \\
&= \frac{\cos^2 x}{\sin^2 x} - 2 + \frac{\sin^2 x}{\cos^2 x} + 9 \\
&= \left( \frac{\cos x}{\sin x} - \frac{\sin x}{\cos x} \right)^2 + 9 \\
&\ge 9.
\end{align*}Equality occurs when $x = \frac{\pi}{4},$ so the minimum value is $\boxed{9}.$

If
\[\frac{\cos^4 \alpha}{\cos^2 \beta} + \frac{\sin^4 \alpha}{\sin^2 \beta} = 1,\]then find the sum of all possible values of
\[\frac{\sin^4 \beta}{\sin^2 \alpha} + \frac{\cos^4 \beta}{\cos^2 \alpha}.\]

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
\[\cos \theta = \sin 60^\circ + \cos 42^\circ - \sin 12^\circ - \cos 6^\circ.\]
|

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.

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.

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 $M$ be the midpoint of $\overline{AB}.$ Then $\angle AOM = \frac{\pi}{3}$ and $\angle AMO = \frac{\pi}{2},$ so $OM = \frac{AO}{2} = 4.$ Also, $\overline{OM}$ makes an angle of $\frac{5 \pi}{12} - \frac{\pi}{3} = \frac{\pi}{12}$ with the positive $x$-axis, so the polar coordinates of $M$ are $\boxed{\left( 4, \frac{\pi}{12} \right)}.$

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 $E.$

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,
\[\frac{[ABC]}{[APC]} = \frac{[ABE] + [CBE]}{[APE] + [CPE]} = \boxed{3}.\]

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
\[\left\| \begin{pmatrix} 3 \\ 1 \\ -2 \end{pmatrix} \times \begin{pmatrix} 1 \\ -3 \\ 4 \end{pmatrix} \right\| = \left\| \begin{pmatrix} -2 \\ -14 \\ -10 \end{pmatrix} \right\| = \boxed{10 \sqrt{3}}.\]
