The set of vectors $\left\{ \begin{pmatrix} 1 \\ 2 \end{pmatrix}, \begin{pmatrix} 3 \\ k \end{pmatrix} \right\}$ is linearly dependent. Find all possible values of $k.$ Enter all the possible values, separated by commas.
gpt
Since the set $\left\{ \begin{pmatrix} 1 \\ 2 \end{pmatrix}, \begin{pmatrix} 3 \\ k \end{pmatrix} \right\}$ is linearly dependent, there exist non-zero constants $c_1$ and $c_2$ such that \[c_1 \begin{pmatrix} 1 \\ 2 \end{pmatrix} + c_2 \begin{pmatrix} 3 \\ k \end{pmatrix} = \begin{pmatrix} 0 \\ 0 \end{pmatrix}.\]Then $c_1 + 3c_2 = 0$ and $2c_1 + kc_2 = 0.$ From the first equation, $c_1 = -3c_2.$ Then \[-6c_2 + kc_2 = 0,\]or $(k - 6) c_2 = 0.$ Since $c_2 \neq 0,$ $k - 6 = 0,$ so $k = \boxed{6}.$

Find the $3 \times 3$ matrix $\mathbf{M}$ such that \[\mathbf{M} \mathbf{v} = -4 \mathbf{v}\]for all three-dimensional vectors $\mathbf{v}.$
gpt
Taking $\mathbf{v} = \mathbf{i},$ we get that the first column of $\mathbf{M}$ is \[\mathbf{M} \mathbf{i} = -4 \mathbf{i} = \begin{pmatrix} -4 \\ 0 \\ 0 \end{pmatrix}.\]Similarly, the second column of $\mathbf{M}$ is $-4 \mathbf{j},$ and the third column of $\mathbf{M}$ is $-4 \mathbf{k}.$ Therefore, \[\mathbf{M} = \boxed{\begin{pmatrix} -4 & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & -4 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & -4 \end{pmatrix}}.\]

There are $2n$ complex numbers that satisfy both $z^{28} - z^{8} - 1 = 0$ and $|z| = 1$. These numbers have the form $z_{m} = \cos\theta_{m} + i\sin\theta_{m}$, where $0\leq\theta_{1} < \theta_{2} < \dots < \theta_{2n} < 360$ and angles are measured in degrees. Find the value of $\theta_{2} + \theta_{4} + \dots + \theta_{2n}$.
gpt
From the equation $z^{28} - z^8 - 1 = 0,$ $z^{28} - z^8 = 1,$ or \[z^8 (z^{20} - 1) = 1.\]Then $|z^8| |z^{20} - 1| = 1.$ Since $|z| = 1,$ $|z^{20} - 1| = 1.$ So if $w = z^{20},$ then $w$ lies on the circle centered at 1 with radius 1. But $|w| = |z^{20}| = |z|^{20} = 1,$ so $w$ also lies on the circle centered at the origin with radius 1. These circles intersect at $\operatorname{cis} 60^\circ$ and $\operatorname{cis} 300^\circ,$ so $w = z^{20}$ must be one of these values.

The line $y = 3x - 11$ is parameterized by the form \[\begin{pmatrix} x \\ y \end{pmatrix} = \begin{pmatrix} r \\ 1 \end{pmatrix} + t \begin{pmatrix} 4 \\ k \end{pmatrix}.\]Enter the ordered pair $(r,k).$
gpt
Taking $t = 0,$ we find $\begin{pmatrix} r \\ 1 \end{pmatrix}$ lies on the line, so for this vector, \[3r - 11 = 1.\]Solving, we find $r = 4.$ Taking $t = 1,$ we get \[\begin{pmatrix} x \\ y \end{pmatrix} = \begin{pmatrix} 4 \\ 1 \end{pmatrix} + \begin{pmatrix} 4 \\ k \end{pmatrix} = \begin{pmatrix} 8 \\ k + 1 \end{pmatrix}.\]For $x = 8,$ $y = 3 \cdot 8 - 11 = 13,$ so $k + 1 = 13,$ which means $k = 12.$ Hence, $(r,k) = \boxed{(4,12)}.$

From $\cos x = \tan y,$ \[\cos^2 x = \tan^2 y = \frac{\sin^2 y}{\cos^2 y} = \frac{1 - \cos^2 y}{\cos^2 y} = \frac{1}{\cos^2 y} - 1.\]Since $\cos y = \tan z,$ $\cos^2 x = \cot^2 y - 1.$ Then \[1 + \cos^2 x = \cot^2 z = \frac{\cos^2 z}{\sin^2 z} = \frac{\cos^2 z}{1 - \cos^2 z}.\]Since $\cos z = \tan x,$ \[1 + \cos^2 x = \frac{\tan^2 x}{1 - \tan^2 x} = \frac{\sin^2 x}{\cos^2 x - \sin^2 x}.\]We can write this as \[1 + (1 - \sin^2 x) = \frac{\sin^2 x}{(1 - \sin^2 x) - \sin^2 x},\]so $(2 - \sin^2 x)(1 - 2 \sin^2 x) = \sin^2 x.$ This simplifies to \[\sin^4 x - 3 \sin^2 x + 1 = 0.\]We recognize this as a quadratic in $\sin^2 x$: $(\sin^2 x)^2 - 3 \sin^2 x + 1 = 0.$ Then by the quadratic formula, \[\sin^2 x = \frac{3 \pm \sqrt{5}}{2}.\]Since $\frac{3 + \sqrt{5}}{2} > 1,$ we must have \[\sin^2 x = \frac{3 - \sqrt{5}}{2}.\]We guess that $\sin x$ is of the form $a + b \sqrt{5},$ for some numbers $a$ and $b.$ Thus, \[(a + b \sqrt{5})^2 = \frac{3 - \sqrt{5}}{2} = \frac{3}{2} - \frac{1}{2} \sqrt{5}.\]Expanding, we get \[a^2 + 5b^2 + 2ab \sqrt{5} = \frac{3}{2} - \frac{1}{2} \sqrt{5}.\]We set $a^2 + 5b^2 = \frac{3}{2}$ and $2ab = -\frac{1}{2}.$ Then $ab = -\frac{1}{4},$ so $b = -\frac{1}{4a}.$ Substituting into $a^2 + 5b^2 = \frac{3}{2},$ we get \[a^2 + \frac{5}{16a^2} = \frac{3}{2}.\]Then $16a^4 + 5 = 24a^2,$ so $16a^4 - 24a^2 + 5 = 0.$ This factors as $(4a^2 - 1)(4a^2 - 5) = 0.$ Thus, possible values of $a$ are $\pm \frac{1}{2}.$ Then $b = \mp \frac{1}{2},$ so \[\sin x = \pm \frac{1 - \sqrt{5}}{2}.\]Let \[\theta = \arcsin a,\]where $a = \frac{\sqrt{5} - 1}{2}.$ Note that $a$ satisfies $a^2 + a - 1 = 0.$ Then \begin{align*} \cos \theta - \tan \theta &= \cos \theta - \frac{\sin \theta}{\cos \theta} \\ &= \frac{\cos^2 \theta - \sin \theta}{\cos \theta} \\ &= \frac{1 - \sin^2 \theta - \sin \theta}{\cos \theta} \\ &= \frac{1 - a^2 - a}{\cos \theta} = 0. \end{align*}Thus, $(x,y,z) = (\theta, \theta, \theta)$ is a solution to the given system, which means the largest possible value of $\sin x$ is $\boxed{\frac{\sqrt{5} - 1}{2}}.$

What is the smallest positive integer $n$ such that all the roots of $z^4 - z^2 + 1 = 0$ are $n^{\text{th}}$ roots of unity?
gpt
Multiplying the equation $z^4 - z^2 + 1 = 0$ by $z^2 + 1$, we get $z^6 + 1 = 0$. Multiplying this equation by $z^6 - 1 = 0$, we get $z^{12} - 1 = 0$. Therefore, every root of $z^4 - z^2 + 1 = 0$ is a $12^{\text{th}}$ root of unity. We can factor $z^{12} - 1 = 0$ as \[(z^6 - 1)(z^6 + 1) = (z^6 - 1)(z^2 + 1)(z^4 - z^2 + 1) = 0.\]The $12^{\text{th}}$ roots of unity are $e^{0}$, $e^{2 \pi i/12}$, $e^{4 \pi i/12}$, $\dots$, $e^{22 \pi i/12}$. We see that $e^{0}$, $e^{4 \pi i/12}$, $e^{8 \pi i/12}$, $e^{12 \pi i/12}$, $e^{16 \pi i/12}$, and $e^{20 \pi i/12}$ are the roots of $z^6 - 1 = 0$. Also, $e^{6 \pi i/12} = e^{\pi i/2} = i$ and $e^{18 \pi i/12} = e^{3 \pi i/2} = -i$ are the roots of $z^2 + 1 = 0$. Thus, the roots of \[z^4 - z^2 + 1 = 0\]are the remaining four $12^{\text{th}}$ roots of unity, namely $e^{2 \pi i/12}$, $e^{10 \pi i/12}$, $e^{14 \pi i/12}$, and $e^{22 \pi i/12}$. The complex number $e^{2 \pi i/12}$ is a primitive $12^{\text{th}}$ root of unity, so by definition, the smallest positive integer $n$ such that $(e^{2 \pi i/12})^n = 1$ is 12. Therefore, the smallest possible value of $n$ is $\boxed{12}$.

First, we can write $z^4 = -16i = 16 \operatorname{cis} 270^\circ.$ Therefore, the four roots are \begin{align*} &2 \operatorname{cis} 67.5^\circ, \\ &2 \operatorname{cis} (67.5^\circ + 90^\circ) = 2 \operatorname{cis} 157.5^\circ, \\ &2 \operatorname{cis} (67.5^\circ + 180^\circ) = 2 \operatorname{cis} 247.5^\circ, \\ &2 \operatorname{cis} (67.5^\circ + 270^\circ) = 2 \operatorname{cis} 337.5^\circ. \end{align*}Then $\theta_1 + \theta_2 + \theta_3 + \theta_4 = 67.5^\circ + 157.5^\circ + 247.5^\circ + 337.5^\circ = \boxed{810^\circ}.$

The matrix \[\begin{pmatrix} \frac{4}{29} & -\frac{10}{29} \\ -\frac{10}{29} & \frac{25}{29} \end{pmatrix}\]corresponds to projecting onto a certain vector $\begin{pmatrix} x \\ y \end{pmatrix}.$ Find $\frac{y}{x}.$

How many times do the graphs $r = 4 \cos \theta$ and $r = 8 \sin \theta$ intersect?
gpt
For $r = 4 \cos \theta,$ \begin{align*} x &= r \cos \theta = 4 \cos^2 \theta = 2 \cos 2 \theta + 2, \\ y &= r \sin \theta = 4 \sin \theta \cos \theta = 2 \sin 2 \theta. \end{align*}Hence, \[(x - 2)^2 + y^2 = 4 \cos^2 2 \theta + 4 \sin^2 2 \theta = 4.\]Thus, the graph of $r = 4 \cos \theta$ is the circle centered at $(2,0)$ with radius 2. For $r = 8 \sin \theta,$ \begin{align*} x &= r \cos \theta = 8 \sin \theta \cos \theta = 4 \sin 2 \theta, \\ y &= r \sin \theta = 8 \sin^2 \theta = 4 - 4 \cos 2 \theta. \end{align*}Hence, \[x^2 + (y - 4)^2 = 16 \sin^2 2 \theta + 16 \cos^2 2 \theta = 16.\]Thus, the graph of $r = 8 \sin \theta$ is the circle centered at $(0,4)$ with radius 4.

gpt
If $O$ is the origin, then we know $$H = \overrightarrow{A} + \overrightarrow{B} + \overrightarrow{C}.$$Therefore \begin{align*} OH^2 &= |\overrightarrow{OH}|^2 \\ &= |\overrightarrow{A} + \overrightarrow{B} + \overrightarrow{C}|^2 \\ &= (\overrightarrow{A} + \overrightarrow{B} + \overrightarrow{C}) \cdot (\overrightarrow{A} + \overrightarrow{B} + \overrightarrow{C}) \\ &= \overrightarrow{A} \cdot \overrightarrow{A} + \overrightarrow{B} \cdot \overrightarrow{B} + \overrightarrow{C} \cdot \overrightarrow{C} + 2 \overrightarrow{A} \cdot \overrightarrow{B} + 2 \overrightarrow{A} \cdot \overrightarrow{C} + 2 \overrightarrow{B} \cdot \overrightarrow{C}. \end{align*}Using what we know about these dot products given that the origin is the circumcenter, we have: \begin{align*} OH^2 &= R^2 + R^2 + R^2 + 2 \left( R^2 - \frac{c^2}{2} \right) + 2 \left( R^2 - \frac{b^2}{2} \right) + 2 \left( R^2 - \frac{a^2}{2} \right) \\ &= 9R^2 - (a^2 + b^2 + c^2) \\ &= 9 \cdot 7^2 - 29 \\ &= \boxed{412}. \end{align*}

In three-dimensional space, find the number of lattice points that have a distance of 3 from the origin. Note: A point is a lattice point if all its coordinates are integers.
gpt
Let the point be $(x,y,z).$ Each coordinate can only be 0, $\pm 1,$ $\pm 2,$ or $\pm 3.$ Checking we find that up to sign, the only possible combinations of $x,$ $y,$ and $z$ that work are either two 0s and one 3, or one 1 and two 2s. If there are two 0s and one 3, then there are 3 ways to place the 3. Then the 3 can be positive or negative, which gives us $3 \cdot 2 = 6$ points. If there is one 1 and two 2s, then there are 3 ways to place the 1. Then each coordinate can be positive or negative, which gives us $3 \cdot 2^3 = 24$ points. Therefore, there are $6 + 24 = \boxed{30}$ such lattice points.

By DeMoivre's Theorem, \begin{align*} \cos 5 \theta + i \sin 5 \theta &= (\cos \theta + i \sin \theta)^5 \\ &= \cos^5 \theta + 5i \cos^4 \theta \sin \theta - 10 \cos^3 \theta \sin^2 \theta - 10i \cos^2 \theta \sin^3 \theta + 5 \cos \theta \sin^4 \theta + i \sin^5 \theta. \end{align*}Equating real parts, we get \[\cos 5 \theta = \cos^5 \theta - 10 \cos^3 \theta \sin^2 \theta + 5 \cos \theta \sin^4 \theta.\]Since $\cos \theta = \frac{1}{3},$ $\sin^2 \theta = 1 - \cos^2 \theta = \frac{8}{9}.$ Therefore, \begin{align*} \cos 5 \theta &= \cos^5 \theta - 10 \cos^3 \theta \sin^2 \theta + 5 \cos \theta \sin^4 \theta \\ &= \left( \frac{1}{3} \right)^5 - 10 \left (\frac{1}{3} \right)^3 \cdot \frac{8}{9} + 5 \cdot \frac{1}{3} \cdot \left( \frac{8}{9} \right)^2 \\ &= \boxed{\frac{241}{243}}. \end{align*}

Let $\theta = \angle AOC = \angle BOD.$ Then by the Law of Cosines on triangle $BOD,$ \[\cos \theta = \frac{4^2 + 5^2 - 8^2}{2 \cdot 4 \cdot 5} = -\frac{23}{40}.\]Then by the Law of Cosines on triangle $AOC,$ \begin{align*} x^2 &= 4^2 + 10^2 - 2 \cdot 4 \cdot 10 \cos \theta \\ &= 4^2 + 10^2 - 2 \cdot 4 \cdot 10 \cdot \left( -\frac{23}{40} \right) \\ &= 162, \end{align*}so $x = \sqrt{162} = \boxed{9 \sqrt{2}}.$

Let $A,$ $B,$ $C$ be the angles of a non-right triangle. Compute \[\begin{vmatrix} \tan A & 1 & 1 \\ 1 & \tan B & 1 \\ 1 & 1 & \tan C \end{vmatrix}.\]
gpt
Expanding the determinant, we get \begin{align*} \begin{vmatrix} \tan 1 & 1 & 1 \\ 1 & \tan B & 1 \\ 1 & 1 & \tan C \end{vmatrix} &= \tan A \begin{vmatrix} \tan B & 1 \\ 1 & \tan C \end{vmatrix} - \begin{vmatrix} 1 & 1 \\ 1 & \tan C \end{vmatrix} + \begin{vmatrix} 1 & \tan B \\ 1 & 1 \end{vmatrix} \\ &= \tan A(\tan B \tan C - 1) - (\tan C - 1) + (1 - \tan B) \\ &= \tan A \tan B \tan C - \tan A - \tan B - \tan C + 2. \end{align*}From the tangent addition formula, \[\tan (A + B) = \frac{\tan A + \tan B}{1 - \tan A \tan B}.\]But \[\tan (A + B) = \tan (180^\circ - C) = -\tan C,\]so \[-\tan C = \frac{\tan A + \tan B}{1 - \tan A \tan B}.\]Then $-\tan C + \tan A \tan B \tan C = \tan A + \tan B.$ Therefore, \[\tan A \tan B \tan C - \tan A - \tan B - \tan C + 2 = \boxed{2}.\]

Let $l,$ $m,$ and $n$ be real numbers, and let $A,$ $B,$ $C$ be points such that the midpoint of $\overline{BC}$ is $(l,0,0),$ the midpoint of $\overline{AC}$ is $(0,m,0),$ and the midpoint of $\overline{AB}$ is $(0,0,n).$ Find \[\frac{AB^2 + AC^2 + BC^2}{l^2 + m^2 + n^2}.\]

Let $D = (l,0,0),$ $E = (0,m,0),$ and $F = (0,0,n).$ Then triangle $DEF$ is the medial triangle of triangle $ABC.$ [asy] unitsize(0.5 cm); pair A, B, C, D, E, F; A = (2,5); B = (0,0); C = (9,0); D = (B + C)/2; E = (A + C)/2; F = (A + B)/2; draw(A--B--C--cycle); draw(D--E--F--cycle); label("$A$", A, N); label("$B$", B, SW); label("$C$", C, SE); label("$D$", D, S); label("$E$", E, NE); label("$F$", F, NW); [/asy] Hence, $EF = \frac{BC}{2},$ so \[BC^2 = 4EF^2 = 4m^2 + 4n^2.\]Similarly, $AC^2 = 4l^2 + 4n^2,$ and $AB^2 = 4l^2 + 4m^2,$ so \[\frac{AB^2 + AC^2 + BC^2}{l^2 + m^2 + n^2} = \frac{(4l^2 + 4m^2) + (4l^2 + 4n^2) + (4m^2 + 4n^2)}{l^2 + m^2 + n^2} = \frac{8l^2 + 8m^2 + 8n^2}{l^2 + m^2 + n^2} = \boxed{8}.\]

Let $\mathcal{C}$ be the hyperbola $y^2 - x^2 = 1$. Given a point $P_0$ on the $x$-axis, we construct a sequence of points $(P_n)$ on the $x$-axis in the following manner: let $\ell_n$ be the line with slope 1 passing passing through $P_n$, then $P_{n+1}$ is the orthogonal projection of the point of intersection of $\ell_n$ and $\mathcal C$ onto the $x$-axis. (If $P_n = 0$, then the sequence simply terminates.) Find the number of starting positions $P_0$ on the $x$-axis such that $P_0 = P_{2008}$. Your answer should use exponential notation, in simplest form.
gpt
Let $P_n = (x_n, 0)$. Then the $\ell_n$ meet $\mathcal{C}$ at $(x_{n+1}, x_{n+1} - x_n)$. Since this point lies on the hyperbola, we have $(x_{n+1} - x_n)^2 - x_{n+1}^2 = 1$. Rearranging this equation gives \[ x_{n+1} = \frac{x_n^2 - 1}{2x_n}. \]Choose a $\theta_0 \in (0, \pi)$ with $\cot\theta_0 = x_0$, and define $\theta_n = 2^n \theta_0$. Using the double-angle formula, we have \[ \cot \theta_{n+1} = \cot( 2 \theta_n ) = \frac{\cot^2 \theta_n - 1}{2 \cot \theta_n}. \]It follows by induction that $x_n = \cot \theta_n$. Then, $P_0 = P_{2008}$ corresponds to $\cot \theta_0 = \cot ( 2^{2008} \theta_0 )$ (assuming that $P_0$ is never at the origin, or equivalently, $2^{n} \theta$ is never an integer multiple of $\pi$). So, we need to find the number of $\theta_0 \in (0, \pi)$ with the property that $2^{2008} \theta_0 - \theta_0 = k \pi$ for some integer $k$. We have $\theta_0 = \frac{k \pi}{2^{2008} - 1}$, so $k$ can be any integer between $1$ and $2^{2008}-2$ inclusive (and note that since the denominator is odd, the sequence never terminates). It follows that the number of starting positions is $\boxed{2^{2008} -2}$.

Let $P$ and $Q$ be the points on $\overline{AB}$ and $\overline{AC}$, respectively, where the paper is folded. Let $x = BP.$ Then $PA = PA' = 12 - x,$ so by the Law of Cosines on triangle $PBA',$ \[x^2 - 9x + 81 = (12 - x)^2.\]Solving, we find $x = \frac{21}{5},$ so $PA = \frac{39}{5}.$ Let $y = CQ.$ Then $QA = QA' = 12 - y,$ so by the Law of Cosines on triangle $QCA',$ \[y^2 - 3y + 9 = (12 - y)^2.\]Solving, we find $y = \frac{45}{7},$ so $QA = \frac{39}{7}.$ Therefore, by the Law of Cosines on triangle $PAQ,$ \[PQ^2 = PA^2 - PA \cdot QA + QA^2 = \boxed{\frac{59319}{1225}}.\][asy] unitsize(0.25 cm); pair A, Ap, B, C, P, Q; real x, y; x = 21/5; y = 45/7; A = 12*dir(60); Ap = (9,0); B = (0,0); C = (12,0); P = x*dir(60); Q = C + y*dir(120); draw(B--C--Q--P--cycle); draw(P--Ap--Q); draw(P--A--Q,dashed); label("$A$", A, N); label("$A'$", Ap, S); label("$B$", B, SW); label("$C$", C, SE); label("$P$", P, NW); label("$Q$", Q, NE); [/asy]
