Compute $\begin{pmatrix} 2 & 3 \\ 7 & -1 \end{pmatrix} \begin{pmatrix} 1 & -5 \\ 0 & 4 \end{pmatrix}.$
gpt
We have that \[\begin{pmatrix} 2 & 3 \\ 7 & -1 \end{pmatrix} \begin{pmatrix} 1 & -5 \\ 0 & 4 \end{pmatrix} = \begin{pmatrix} (2)(1) + (3)(0) & (2)(-5) + (3)(4) \\ (7)(1) + (-1)(0) & (7)(-5) + (-1)(4) \end{pmatrix} = \boxed{\begin{pmatrix} 2 & 2 \\ 7 & -39 \end{pmatrix}}.\]

Find the integer $n,$ $0 \le n \le 180,$ such that $\cos n^\circ = \cos 758^\circ.$
gpt
Since the cosine function has period $360^\circ,$ \[\cos 758^\circ = \cos (758^\circ - 2 \cdot 360^\circ) = \cos 38^\circ,\]so $n = \boxed{38}.$

Let $\mathcal{T}$ be the set of ordered triples $(x,y,z)$ of nonnegative real numbers that lie in the plane $x+y+z=1.$ Let us say that $(x,y,z)$ supports $(a,b,c)$ when exactly two of the following are true: $x\ge a, y\ge b, z\ge c.$ Let $\mathcal{S}$ consist of those triples in $\mathcal{T}$ that support $\left(\frac 12,\frac 13,\frac 16\right).$ Find the area of $\mathcal{S}$ divided by the area of $\mathcal{T}.$
gpt
We see that $\mathcal{T}$ is the triangle whose vertices are $(1,0,0),$ $(0,1,0),$ and $(0,0,1).$ We are looking for the points $(x,y,z) \in \mathcal{T}$ such that exactly two of the following inequalities hold: $x \ge \frac{1}{2},$ $y \ge \frac{1}{3},$ and $z \ge \frac{1}{6}.$ The plane $x = \frac{1}{2}$ cuts triangle $\mathcal{T}$ in a line that is parallel to one of its sides. The same holds for the planes $y = \frac{1}{3}$ and $z = \frac{1}{6}.$ Let $\mathcal{A}$ be the set of points in $\mathcal{T}$ such that $x \ge \frac{1}{2}$ and $y \ge \frac{1}{3}.$ Then the inequality $z \le \frac{1}{6}$ is automatically satisfied, and $z = \frac{1}{6}$ only for the point $\left( \frac{1}{2}, \frac{1}{3}, \frac{1}{6} \right).$ Thus, $\mathcal{A}$ is a triangle which is similar to $\mathcal{T},$ and the ratio of their areas is $\frac{1}{6^2} = \frac{1}{36}.$ [asy] import three; size(220); currentprojection = perspective(6,3,2); triple P = (1/2,1/3,1/6), Q = (5/6,0,1/6), R = (1/2,0,1/2), S = (0,1/3,2/3), T = (0,5/6,1/6), U = (1/2,1/2,0), V = (2/3,1/3,0); draw(surface(P--Q--R--cycle),paleyellow,nolight); draw(surface(P--S--T--cycle),paleyellow,nolight); draw(surface(P--U--V--cycle),paleyellow,nolight); draw((1,0,0)--(0,1,0)--(0,0,1)--cycle); draw((0,0,0)--(1,0,0),dashed); draw((0,0,0)--(0,1,0),dashed); draw((0,0,0)--(0,0,1),dashed); draw(Q--T); draw(R--U); draw(S--V); draw((1,0,0)--(1.2,0,0),Arrow3(6)); draw((0,1,0)--(0,1.2,0),Arrow3(6)); draw((0,0,1)--(0,0,1.2),Arrow3(6)); label("$x$", (1.3,0,0)); label("$y$", (0,1.3,0)); label("$z$", (0,0,1.3)); label("$x = \frac{1}{2}$", R, W); label("$y = \frac{1}{3}$", S, NE); label("$z = \frac{1}{6}$", T, NE); label("$\mathcal{A}$", (P + U + V)/3); label("$\mathcal{B}$", (P + Q + R)/3); label("$\mathcal{C}$", (P + S + T)/3); [/asy] Likewise, let $\mathcal{B}$ be the set of points in $\mathcal{T}$ such that $x \ge \frac{1}{2}$ and $z \ge \frac{1}{6},$ and let $\mathcal{C}$ be the set of points in $\mathcal{T}$ such that $y \ge \frac{1}{3}$ and $z \ge \frac{1}{6}.$ Then $\mathcal{B}$ and $\mathcal{C}$ are triangles that are also similar to $\mathcal{T},$ and the ratio of their areas to the area of $\mathcal{T}$ are $\frac{1}{3^2} = \frac{1}{9}$ and $\frac{1}{2^2} = \frac{1}{4},$ respectively. Therefore, the area of $\mathcal{S}$ divided by the area of $\mathcal{T}$ is $\frac{1}{36} + \frac{1}{9} + \frac{1}{4} = \boxed{\frac{7}{18}}.$

In equilateral triangle $ABC,$ let points $D$ and $E$ trisect $\overline{BC}$. Find $\sin \angle DAE.$

Without loss of generality, let the triangle sides have length 6.

Then triangle $ACM$ is a $30^\circ$-$60^\circ$-$90^\circ$ triangle with $MC = 3$, $AC = 6,$ and $AM = 3\sqrt{3}.$ Since triangle $AME$ is right, we use the Pythagorean Theorem to find $AE = 2 \sqrt{7}$. The area of triangle $DAE$ is \[\frac{1}{2} \cdot DE \cdot AM = \frac{1}{2} \cdot 2 \cdot 3 \sqrt{3} = 3 \sqrt{3}.\]The area of triangle $DAE$ is also \[\frac{1}{2} \cdot AD \cdot AE \cdot \sin \angle DAE = 14 \sin \angle DAE.\]Therefore, $\sin \angle DAE = \boxed{\frac{3 \sqrt{3}}{14}}.$

A line is parameterized by \[\begin{pmatrix} x \\ y \end{pmatrix} = \begin{pmatrix} 0 \\ -2 \end{pmatrix} + t \begin{pmatrix} 3 \\ 4 \end{pmatrix}.\]A second line is parameterized by \[\begin{pmatrix} x \\ y \end{pmatrix} = \begin{pmatrix} -8 \\ 12 \end{pmatrix} + u \begin{pmatrix} 1 \\ 3 \end{pmatrix}.\]If $\theta$ is the acute angle formed by the two lines, then find $\cos \theta.$
gpt
The direction vectors of the lines are $\begin{pmatrix} 3 \\ 4 \end{pmatrix}$ and $\begin{pmatrix} 1 \\ 3 \end{pmatrix}.$ The cosine of the angle between these direction vectors is \[\frac{\begin{pmatrix} 3 \\ 4 \end{pmatrix} \cdot \begin{pmatrix} 1 \\ 3 \end{pmatrix}}{\left\| \begin{pmatrix} 3 \\ 4 \end{pmatrix} \right\| \left\| \begin{pmatrix} 1 \\ 3 \end{pmatrix} \right\|} = \frac{15}{\sqrt{25} \sqrt{10}} = \frac{3}{\sqrt{10}}.\]Hence, $\cos \theta = \boxed{\frac{3}{\sqrt{10}}}.$

Let $x$, $y$, and $z$ be real numbers such that \[\cos x + \cos y + \cos z = \sin x + \sin y + \sin z = 0.\]Find the sum of all possible values of $\cos 2x + \cos 2y + \cos 2z.$
gpt
Let $a = e^{ix}$, $b = e^{iy}$, and $c = e^{iz}$. Then \begin{align*} a + b + c &= e^{ix} + e^{iy} + e^{iz} \\ &= (\cos x + \cos y + \cos z) + i (\sin x + \sin y + \sin z) \\ &= 0. \end{align*}Also, \begin{align*} \frac{1}{a} + \frac{1}{b} + \frac{1}{c} &= \frac{1}{e^{ix}} + \frac{1}{e^{iy}} + \frac{1}{e^{iz}} \\ &= e^{-ix} + e^{-iy} + e^{-iz} \\ &= [\cos (-x) + \cos (-y) + \cos (-z)] + i [\sin (-x) + \sin (-y) + \sin (-z)] \\ &= (\cos x + \cos y + \cos z) - i (\sin x + \sin y + \sin z) \\ &= 0. \end{align*}Hence, \[abc \left( \frac{1}{a} + \frac{1}{b} + \frac{1}{c} \right) = ab + ac + bc = 0.\]Now, \begin{align*} a^2 + b^2 + c^2 &= e^{2ix} + e^{2iy} + e^{2iz} \\ &= (\cos 2x + \cos 2y + \cos 2z) + i (\sin 2x + \sin 2y + \sin 2z). \end{align*}Squaring $a + b + c = 0,$ we get \[(a + b + c)^2 = a^2 + b^2 + c^2 + 2(ab + ac + bc) = 0.\]Therefore, $a^2 + b^2 + c^2 = 0,$ which means the only possible value of $\cos 2x + \cos 2y + \cos 2z$ is $\boxed{0}.$

Let $z_2 = \omega z_1,$ where $\omega = e^{\pi i/3}.$ Then by Vieta's formulas, \begin{align*} -a &= z_1 + z_2 = (1 + \omega) z_1, \\ b &= z_1 z_2 = \omega z_1^2. \end{align*}Hence, \begin{align*} \frac{a^2}{b} &= \frac{(1 + \omega)^2 z_1^2}{\omega z_1^2} \\ &= \frac{\omega^2 + 2 \omega + 1}{\omega} \\ &= \omega + 2 + \frac{1}{\omega} \\ &= e^{\pi i/3} + 2 + e^{-\pi i/3} \\ &= \frac{1}{2} + i \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} + 2 + \frac{1}{2} - i \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \\ &= \boxed{3}. \end{align*}

The graph of $y = \sin 5x$ passes through one full period as $5x$ ranges from $0$ to $2\pi$, which means $x$ ranges from $0$ to $\boxed{\frac{2\pi}{5}}.$ The graph of $y = \sin 5x$ is shown below: [asy] import TrigMacros; size(400); real g(real x) { return sin(5*x); } draw(graph(g,-3*pi,3*pi,n=700,join=operator ..),red); trig_axes(-3*pi,3*pi+.4,-2,2,pi,1); layer(); rm_trig_labels(-3, 3, 1); [/asy]

If the matrix $\mathbf{A}$ has an inverse and $(\mathbf{A} - 2 \mathbf{I})(\mathbf{A} - 4 \mathbf{I}) = \mathbf{0},$ then find \[\mathbf{A} + 8 \mathbf{A}^{-1}.\]
gpt
Expanding $(\mathbf{A} - 2 \mathbf{I})(\mathbf{A} - 4 \mathbf{I}) = \mathbf{0},$ we get \[\mathbf{A}^2 - 6 \mathbf{A} + 8 \mathbf{I} = \mathbf{0}.\]Multiplying both sides by $\mathbf{A}^{-1},$ we get \[\mathbf{A} - 6 \mathbf{I} + 8 \mathbf{A}^{-1} = \mathbf{0}.\]Then \[\mathbf{A} + 8 \mathbf{A}^{-1} = 6 \mathbf{I} = \boxed{\begin{pmatrix} 6 & 0 \\ 0 & 6 \end{pmatrix}}.\]

Find the unit vector $\mathbf{v},$ lying in the $xz$-plane, which makes an angle of $45^\circ$ with $\begin{pmatrix} 2 \\ 2 \\ -1 \end{pmatrix},$ and an angle of $60^\circ$ with $\begin{pmatrix} 0 \\ 1 \\ - 1 \end{pmatrix}.$
gpt
Since $\mathbf{v}$ is a unit vector lying in the $xz$-plane, it is of the form $\begin{pmatrix} x \\ 0 \\ z \end{pmatrix},$ where $x^2 + z^2 = 1.$ Since it makes an angle of $45^\circ$ with $\begin{pmatrix} 2 \\ 2 \\ -1 \end{pmatrix},$ \[\frac{\begin{pmatrix} x \\ 0 \\ z \end{pmatrix} \cdot \begin{pmatrix} 2 \\ 2 \\ -1 \end{pmatrix}}{\left\| \begin{pmatrix} x \\ 0 \\ z \end{pmatrix} \right\| \left\| \begin{pmatrix} 2 \\ 2 \\ 1 \end{pmatrix} \right\|} = \cos 45^\circ = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}.\]Then \[\frac{2x - z}{3} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}},\]so $2x - z = \frac{3}{\sqrt{2}}.$ Since $\mathbf{v}$ makes an angle of $60^\circ$ with $\begin{pmatrix} 0 \\ 1 \\ -1 \end{pmatrix},$ \[\frac{\begin{pmatrix} x \\ 0 \\ z \end{pmatrix} \cdot \begin{pmatrix} 0 \\ 1 \\ -1 \end{pmatrix}}{\left\| \begin{pmatrix} x \\ 0 \\ z \end{pmatrix} \right\| \left\| \begin{pmatrix} 0 \\ 1 \\ -1 \end{pmatrix} \right\|} = \cos 60^\circ = \frac{1}{2}.\]Then \[\frac{-z}{\sqrt{2}} = \frac{1}{2},\]so $z = -\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}.$ Then we can solve for $x,$ to get $x = \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}.$ Thus, $\mathbf{v} = \boxed{\begin{pmatrix} \sqrt{2}/2 \\ 0 \\ -\sqrt{2}/2 \end{pmatrix}}.$

Two transformations are applied to the complex number $-3 - 8i$: A $45^\circ$ rotation around the origin in the counter-clockwise direction. A dilation, centered at the origin, with scale factor $\sqrt{2}.$ What is the resulting complex number?
gpt
A $45^\circ$ rotation in the counter-clockwise direction corresponds to multiplication by $\operatorname{cis} 45^\circ = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} + \frac{i}{\sqrt{2}},$ and the dilation corresponds to multiplication by $\sqrt{2}.$ Therefore, both transformations correspond to multiplication by $\left( \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} + \frac{i}{\sqrt{2}} \right) \sqrt{2} = 1 + i.$ [asy] unitsize(0.5 cm); pair A = (-3,-8), B = (5,-11); draw((-4,0)--(6,0)); draw((0,-12)--(0,2)); draw((0,0)--A,dashed); draw((0,0)--B,dashed); dot("$-3 - 8i$", A, SW); dot("$5 - 11i$", B, SE); [/asy] This means the image of $-3 - 8i$ is $(-3 - 8i)(1 + i) = \boxed{5 - 11i}.$

Find the distance from the point $(1,-1,2)$ to the line passing through $(-2,2,1)$ and $(-1,-1,3).$
gpt
Let $\mathbf{a} = \begin{pmatrix} 1 \\ -1 \\ 2 \end{pmatrix}.$ The line can be parameterized by \[\bold{v} = \begin{pmatrix} -2 \\ 2 \\ 1 \end{pmatrix} + t \begin{pmatrix} 1 \\ -3 \\ 2 \end{pmatrix} = \begin{pmatrix} -2 + t \\ 2 - 3t \\ 1 + 2t \end{pmatrix}.\]If $\bold{v}$ is the vector that is closest to $\bold{a}$, then the vector joining $\bold{v}$ and $\bold{a}$ is orthogonal to the direction vector of the line. This vector is \[\mathbf{v} - \mathbf{a} = \begin{pmatrix} -2 + t \\ 2 - 3t \\ 1 + 2t \end{pmatrix} - \begin{pmatrix} 1 \\ -1 \\ 2 \end{pmatrix} = \begin{pmatrix} -3 + t \\ 3 - 3t \\ -1 + 2t \end{pmatrix}.\][asy] unitsize (0.6 cm); pair A, B, C, D, E, F, H; A = (2,5); B = (0,0); C = (8,0); D = (A + reflect(B,C)*(A))/2; draw(A--D); draw((0,0)--(8,0)); dot("$\mathbf{a}$", A, N); dot("$\mathbf{v}$", D, S); [/asy] Hence, \[\begin{pmatrix} -3 + t \\ 3 - 3t \\ -1 + 2t \end{pmatrix} \cdot \begin{pmatrix} 1 \\ -3 \\ 2 \end{pmatrix} = 0,\]so $(-3 + t)(1) + (3 - 3t)(-3) + (-1 + 2t)(2) = 0.$ Solving for $t$, we find $t = 1.$ Then the distance between the point and the line is \[\| \mathbf{v} - \mathbf{a} \| = \left\| \begin{pmatrix} -2 \\ 0 \\ -1 \end{pmatrix} \right\| = \boxed{\sqrt{5}}.\]

A line is expressed in the form \[\begin{pmatrix} 1 \\ 3 \end{pmatrix} \cdot \left( \begin{pmatrix} x \\ y \end{pmatrix} - \begin{pmatrix} -2 \\ 8 \end{pmatrix} \right) = 0.\]The equation of the line can be expressed in the form $y = mx + b.$ Enter the ordered pair $(m,b).$
gpt
Expanding, we get \[\begin{pmatrix} 1 \\ 3 \end{pmatrix} \cdot \left( \begin{pmatrix} x \\ y \end{pmatrix} - \begin{pmatrix} -2 \\ 8 \end{pmatrix} \right) = \begin{pmatrix} 1 \\ 3 \end{pmatrix} \cdot \begin{pmatrix} x + 2 \\ y - 8 \end{pmatrix} = (x + 2) + 3(y - 8) = 0.\]Solving for $y,$ we find \[y = -\frac{1}{3} x + \frac{22}{3}.\]Thus, $(m,b) = \boxed{\left( -\frac{1}{3}, \frac{22}{3} \right)}.$

Find the equation of the plane which passes through the point $(1,4,-2),$ and which is parallel to the plane $-2x + y - 3z = 7.$ Enter your answer in the form \[Ax + By + Cz + D = 0,\]where $A,$ $B,$ $C,$ $D$ are integers such that $A > 0$ and $\gcd(|A|,|B|,|C|,|D|) = 1.$
gpt
The plane $-2x + y - 3z = 7$ has normal vector $\begin{pmatrix} -2 \\ 1 \\ -3 \end{pmatrix},$ so the plane we seek will also have this normal vector. In other words, the plane will have an equation of the form \[-2x + y - 3z + D = 0.\]Since we want the coefficient of $x$ to be positive, we can multiply by $-1$ to get \[2x - y + 3z - D = 0.\]Setting $x = 1,$ $y = 4,$ and $z = -2,$ we get $-8 - D = 0,$ so $D = -8.$ Thus, the equation we seek is \[\boxed{2x - y + 3z + 8 = 0}.\]

Let $\mathbf{M} = \begin{pmatrix} a & b \\ c & d \end{pmatrix}.$ Note that \[\mathbf{M} (\mathbf{M}^3 - 4 \mathbf{M}^2 + 5 \mathbf{M}) = \mathbf{M}^4 - 4 \mathbf{M}^3 + 5 \mathbf{M}^2 = (\mathbf{M}^3 - 4 \mathbf{M}^2 + 5 \mathbf{M}) \mathbf{M},\]so \[\begin{pmatrix} a & b \\ c & d \end{pmatrix} \begin{pmatrix} 10 & 20 \\ 5 & 10 \end{pmatrix} = \begin{pmatrix} 10 & 20 \\ 5 & 10 \end{pmatrix} \begin{pmatrix} a & b \\ c & d \end{pmatrix}.\]This becomes \[\begin{pmatrix} 10a + 5b & 20a + 10b \\ 10c + 5d & 20c + 10d \end{pmatrix} = \begin{pmatrix} 10a + 20c & 10b + 20d \\ 5a + 10c & 5b + 10d \end{pmatrix}.\]Comparing entries, we get \begin{align*} 10a + 5b &= 10a + 20c, \\ 20a + 10b &= 10b + 20d, \\ 10c + 5d &= 5a + 10c, \\ 20c + 10d &= 5b + 10d. \end{align*}Then from the first and second equations, $5b = 20c$ and $20a = 20d,$ so $b = 4c$ and $a = d.$ (The other equations give us the same information.) Thus, \[\mathbf{M} = \begin{pmatrix} a & 4c \\ c & a \end{pmatrix}.\]Then \[\mathbf{M}^2 = \begin{pmatrix} a & 4c \\ c & a \end{pmatrix} \begin{pmatrix} a & 4c \\ c & a \end{pmatrix} = \begin{pmatrix} a^2 + 4c^2 & 8ac \\ 2ac & a^2 + 4c^2 \end{pmatrix},\]and \[\mathbf{M}^3 = \begin{pmatrix} a & 4c \\ c & a \end{pmatrix} \begin{pmatrix} a^2 + 4c^2 & 8ac \\ 2ac & a^2 + 4c^2 \end{pmatrix} = \begin{pmatrix} a^3 + 12ac^2 & 12a^2 c + 16c^3 \\ 3a^2 c + 4c^3 & a^3 + 12ac^2 \end{pmatrix}.\]Hence, \begin{align*} \mathbf{M}^3 - 4 \mathbf{M}^2 + 5 \mathbf{M} &= \begin{pmatrix} a^3 + 12ac^2 & 12a^2 c + 16c^3 \\ 3a^2 c + 4c^3 & a^3 + 12ac^2 \end{pmatrix} - 4 \begin{pmatrix} a^2 + 4c^2 & 8ac \\ 2ac & a^2 + 4c^2 \end{pmatrix} + 5 \begin{pmatrix} a & 4c \\ c & a \end{pmatrix} \\ &= \begin{pmatrix} a^3 + 12ac^2 - 4a^2 - 16c^2 + 5a & 12a^2 c + 16c^3 - 32ac + 20c \\ 3a^2 c + 4c^3 - 8ac + 5c & a^3 + 12ac^2 - 4a^2 - 16c^2 + 5a \end{pmatrix} \end{align*}Again comparing entries, we get \begin{align*} a^3 + 12ac^2 - 4a^2 - 16c^2 + 5a &= 10, \\ 3a^2 c + 4c^3 - 8ac + 5c &= 5. \end{align*}Then \[(a^3 + 12ac^2 - 4a^2 - 16c^2 + 5a) - 2 (3a^2 c + 4c^3 - 8ac + 5c) = 0.\]Expanding, we get \[a^3 - 6a^2 c + 12ac^2 - 8c^3 - 4a^2 + 16ac - 16c^2 + 5a - 10c = 0,\]which we can write as \[(a - 2c)^3 - 4(a - 2c)^2 + 5(a - 2c) = 0.\]Let $x = a - 2c,$ so \[x^3 - 4x^2 + 5x = 0,\]which factors as $x(x^2 - 4x + 5) = 0.$ The quadratic factor has no real roots, so $x = 0,$ which means $a = 2c.$ Substituting into the equation $3a^2 c + 4c^3 - 8ac + 5c = 5,$ we get \[3(2c)^2 c + 4c^3 - 8(2c) c + 5c = 5,\]which simplifies to $16c^3 - 16c^2 + 5c - 5 = 0.$ This factors as $(c - 1)(16c^2 + 5) = 0,$ so $c = 1.$ It follows that $a = 2,$ $b = 4,$ and $d = 2,$ so \[\mathbf{M} = \boxed{\begin{pmatrix} 2 & 4 \\ 1 & 2 \end{pmatrix}}.\]

We can write \[\cos \alpha + i \sin \alpha + \cos \beta + i \sin \beta = \frac{1}{4} + \frac{3}{7} i,\]so $\cos \alpha + \cos \beta = \frac{1}{4}$ and $\sin \alpha + \sin \beta = \frac{3}{7}.$ Therefore, \begin{align*} e^{-i \alpha} + e^{-i \beta} &= \cos (-\alpha) + i \sin (-\alpha) + \cos (-\beta) + i \sin (-\beta) \\ &= \cos \alpha - i \sin \alpha + \cos \beta - i \sin \beta \\ &= \boxed{\frac{1}{4} - \frac{3}{7} i}. \end{align*}

To find the distance between the lines, we find a vector from a point on one line to a point on the other. Below, we have the two lines, and the projection: [asy] usepackage("amsmath"); unitsize(0.4 cm); pair A, B, P; A = (1,4); B = (-5,6); P = (A + reflect(B, B + (4,3))*(A))/2; draw((A + (4,3))--(A - 2*(4,3))); draw((B + 2*(4,3))--(B - (4,3))); draw(B--P,linewidth(2*bp),Arrow(8)); draw(B--A,Arrow(8)); draw(A--P,dashed); draw((-5,10)--((-5,10) + (4,3)),Arrow(8)); dot("$\mathbf{a} = \begin{pmatrix} 2 \\ -3 \end{pmatrix}$", A, SE); dot("$\mathbf{b} = \begin{pmatrix} 1 \\ -5 \end{pmatrix}$", B, NW); label("$\mathbf{a} + t \mathbf{d}$", A + (4,3), E); label("$\mathbf{b} + s \mathbf{d}$", B + 2*(4,3), E); label("$\mathbf{v}$", (A + B)/2, S); label("$\mathbf{p}$", (B + P)/2, NW); label("$\mathbf{d}$", (-5,10) + 0.5*(4,3), NW); dot("$\mathbf{c}$", P, NW); [/asy] Let $\bold{a} = \begin{pmatrix} 2 \\ -3 \end{pmatrix}$, $\bold{b} = \begin{pmatrix} 1 \\ -5 \end{pmatrix}$, and $\bold{d} = \begin{pmatrix} 1 \\ -7 \end{pmatrix}$. Let $\bold{v} = \bold{a} - \bold{b} = \begin{pmatrix} 1 \\ 2 \end{pmatrix}$. Letting $\bold{p}$ be the projection of $\bold{v}$ onto $\bold{d}$, we have \begin{align*} \bold{p} &= \text{proj}_{\bold{d}} \bold{v} \\ &= \frac{\bold{v} \cdot \bold{d}}{\bold{d} \cdot \bold{d}} \bold{d} \\ &= \frac{\begin{pmatrix} 1 \\ 2 \end{pmatrix} \cdot \begin{pmatrix} 1 \\ -7 \end{pmatrix}}{\begin{pmatrix} 1 \\ -7 \end{pmatrix} \cdot \begin{pmatrix} 1 \\ -7 \end{pmatrix}} \begin{pmatrix} 1 \\ -7 \end{pmatrix} \\ &= -\frac{13}{50} \begin{pmatrix} 1 \\ -7 \end{pmatrix} \\ &= \begin{pmatrix} -\frac{13}{50} \\ \frac{91}{50} \end{pmatrix}. \end{align*}Thus, if $\bold{c} = \bold{b} + \bold{p}$, then the vector joining $\bold{a}$ and $\bold{c}$ is orthogonal to $\bold{d}$. We have that \[\bold{c} = \begin{pmatrix} 1 \\ -5 \end{pmatrix} + \begin{pmatrix} -\frac{13}{50} \\ \frac{91}{50} \end{pmatrix} = \begin{pmatrix} \frac{37}{50} \\ -\frac{159}{50} \end{pmatrix},\]so the distance between the two parallel lines is \[\left\| \begin{pmatrix} 2 \\ -3 \end{pmatrix} - \begin{pmatrix} \frac{37}{50} \\ -\frac{159}{50} \end{pmatrix} \right\| = \left\| \begin{pmatrix} \frac{63}{50} \\ \frac{9}{50} \end{pmatrix} \right\| = \boxed{\frac{9 \sqrt{2}}{10}}.\]

Find the equation of the plane passing through the point $(0,7,-7)$ and containing the line \[\frac{x + 1}{-3} = \frac{y - 3}{2} = \frac{z + 2}{1}.\]Enter your answer in the form \[Ax + By + Cz + D = 0,\]where $A,$ $B,$ $C,$ $D$ are integers such that $A > 0$ and $\gcd(|A|,|B|,|C|,|D|) = 1.$
gpt
From the equation, $\frac{x + 1}{-3} = \frac{y - 3}{2},$ \[2x + 3y - 7 = 0.\]From the equation $\frac{y - 3}{2} = \frac{z + 2}{1},$ \[y - 2z - 7 = 0.\]So, any point on the line given in the problem will satisfy $2x + 3y - 7 = 0$ and $y - 2z - 7 = 0,$ which means it will also satisfy any equation of the form \[a(2x + 3y - 7) + b(y - 2z - 7) = 0,\]where $a$ and $b$ are constants. We also want the plane to contain $(0,7,-7).$ Plugging in these values, we get \[14a + 14b = 0.\]Thus, we can take $a = 1$ and $b = -1.$ This gives us \[(2x + 3y - 7) - (y - 2z - 7) = 0,\]which simplifies to $2x + 2y + 2z = 0.$ Thus, the equation of the plane is $\boxed{x + y + z = 0}.$

What is the volume of the region in three-dimensional space defined by the inequalities $|x|+|y|+|z|\le1$ and $|x|+|y|+|z-1|\le1$?

In the octant where $x \ge 0,$ $y \ge 0,$ and $z \ge 0,$ the inequality $|x| + |y| + |z| \le 1$ becomes \[x + y + z \le 1.\]Thus, the region in this octant is the tetrahedron with vertices $(0,0,0),$ $(1,0,0),$ $(0,1,0),$ and $(1,0,0).$ By symmetry, the region defined by $|x| + |y| + |z| \le 1$ is the octahedron with vertices $(\pm 1,0,0),$ $(0,\pm 1,0),$ and $(0,0,\pm 1).$ Let the base of the upper-half of the octahedron be $ABCD,$ and let $E = (0,0,1).$ Similarly, the region defined by $|x| + |y| + |z - 1| \le 1$ is also an octahedron, centered at $(0,0,1).$ Let the base of the lower-half of the octahedron be $A'B'C'D',$ and let $E' = (0,0,0).$ [asy] import three; size(250); currentprojection = perspective(6,3,2); triple A, B, C, D, E, Ap, Bp, Cp, Dp, Ep, M, N, P, Q; A = (1,0,0); B = (0,1,0); C = (-1,0,0); D = (0,-1,0); E = (0,0,1); Ap = (1,0,1); Bp = (0,1,1); Cp = (-1,0,1); Dp = (0,-1,1); Ep = (0,0,0); M = (A + E)/2; N = (B + E)/2; P = (C + E)/2; Q = (D + E)/2; draw(D--A--B); draw(D--C--B,dashed); draw(C--E,dashed); draw(A--M); draw(M--E,dashed); draw(B--N); draw(N--E,dashed); draw(D--Q); draw(Q--E,dashed); draw(Ap--Bp--Cp--Dp--cycle); draw(Ap--M); draw(M--Ep,dashed); draw(Bp--N); draw(N--Ep,dashed); draw(Cp--Ep,dashed); draw(Dp--Q); draw(Q--Ep,dashed); draw(Q--M--N); draw(Q--P--N,dashed); label("$A$", A, SW); label("$B$", B, dir(0)); label("$C$", C, S); label("$D$", D, W); label("$E$", E, dir(90)); label("$A'$", Ap, dir(90)); label("$B'$", Bp, dir(0)); label("$C'$", Cp, dir(90)); label("$D'$", Dp, W); label("$E'$", Ep, S); label("$M$", M, SW); label("$N$", N, dir(0)); label("$P$", P, NE); label("$Q$", Q, W); [/asy] Faces $ABE$ and $A'B'E'$ intersect in line segment $\overline{MN},$ where $M$ is the midpoint of $\overline{AE},$ and $N$ is the midpoint of $\overline{BE}.$ Thus, the intersection of the two octahedra is another octahedra, consisting of the upper-half of pyramid $ABCDE,$ and the lower-half of pyramid $A'B'C'D'E'.$ The volume of pyramid $ABCDE$ is \[\frac{1}{3} \cdot (\sqrt{2})^2 \cdot 1 = \frac{2}{3},\]so the volume of its upper half is $\left( \frac{1}{2} \right)^3 \cdot \frac{2}{3} = \frac{1}{12}.$ Then the volume of the smaller octahedron is $\frac{2}{12} = \boxed{\frac{1}{6}}.$

Let $\mathbf{A} = \begin{pmatrix} 1 & 2 & a \\ 0 & 1 & 4 \\ 0 & 0 & 1 \end{pmatrix}.$ Then we can write $\mathbf{A} = \mathbf{I} + \mathbf{B},$ where \[\mathbf{B} = \begin{pmatrix} 0 & 2 & a \\ 0 & 0 & 4 \\ 0 & 0 & 0 \end{pmatrix}.\]Note that \[\mathbf{B}^2 = \begin{pmatrix} 0 & 2 & a \\ 0 & 0 & 4 \\ 0 & 0 & 0 \end{pmatrix} \begin{pmatrix} 0 & 2 & a \\ 0 & 0 & 4 \\ 0 & 0 & 0 \end{pmatrix} = \begin{pmatrix} 0 & 0 & 8 \\ 0 & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & 0 \end{pmatrix}\]and \[\mathbf{B}^3 = \mathbf{B} \mathbf{B}^2 = \begin{pmatrix} 0 & 2 & a \\ 0 & 0 & 4 \\ 0 & 0 & 0 \end{pmatrix} \begin{pmatrix} 0 & 0 & 8 \\ 0 & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & 0 \end{pmatrix} = \mathbf{0}.\]Then by the Binomial Theorem, \begin{align*} \mathbf{A}^n &= (\mathbf{I} + \mathbf{B})^n \\ &= \mathbf{I}^n + \binom{n}{1} \mathbf{I}^{n - 1} \mathbf{B} + \binom{n}{2} \mathbf{I}^{n - 2} \mathbf{B}^2 + \binom{n}{3} \mathbf{I}^{n - 3} \mathbf{B}^3 + \dots + \mathbf{B}^n \\ &= \mathbf{I} + n \mathbf{B} + \frac{n(n - 1)}{2} \mathbf{B}^2 \\ &= \begin{pmatrix} 1 & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & 1 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & 1 \end{pmatrix} + n \begin{pmatrix} 0 & 2 & a \\ 0 & 0 & 4 \\ 0 & 0 & 0 \end{pmatrix} + \frac{n(n - 1)}{2} \begin{pmatrix} 0 & 0 & 8 \\ 0 & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & 0 \end{pmatrix} \\ &= \begin{pmatrix} 1 & 2n & an + 4n(n - 1) \\ 0 & 1 & 4n \\ 0 & 0 & 1 \end{pmatrix}. \end{align*}Hence, $2n = 18,$ $an + 4n(n - 1) = 2007,$ and $4n = 36.$ Solving, we find $a = 191$ and $n = 9,$ so $a + n = \boxed{200}.$ Note: We can expand $(\mathbf{I} + \mathbf{B})^{2016}$ using the Binomial Theorem because the matrices $\mathbf{B}$ and $\mathbf{I}$ commute, i.e. $\mathbf{B} \mathbf{I} = \mathbf{I} \mathbf{B}.$ In general, expanding a power of $\mathbf{A} + \mathbf{B}$ is difficult. For example, \[(\mathbf{A} + \mathbf{B})^2 = \mathbf{A}^2 + \mathbf{A} \mathbf{B} + \mathbf{B} \mathbf{A} + \mathbf{B}^2,\]and without knowing more about $\mathbf{A}$ and $\mathbf{B},$ this cannot be simplified.

From the equation $\cos x - 4 \sin x = 1,$ \[\cos x - 1 = 4 \sin x.\]Squaring both sides, we get \[\cos^2 x - 2 \cos x + 1 = 16 \sin^2 x = 16 - 16 \cos^2 x.\]This simplifies to $17 \cos^2 x - 2 \cos x - 15 = 0,$ which factors as \[(\cos x - 1)(17 \cos x + 15) = 0.\]Hence, $\cos x = 1$ or $\cos x = -\frac{15}{17}.$ If $\cos x = 1,$ then $\sin x = \frac{\cos x - 1}{4} = 0,$ so \[\sin x + 4 \cos x = 0 + 4(1) = \boxed{4}.\]If $\cos x = -\frac{15}{17},$ then $\sin x = \frac{\cos x - 1}{4} = -\frac{8}{17},$ so \[\sin x + 4 \cos x = -\frac{8}{17} + 4 \left( -\frac{15}{17} \right) = \boxed{-4}.\]

A square pyramid with base $ABCD$ and vertex $E$ has eight edges of length 4. A plane passes through the midpoints of $\overline{AE}$, $\overline{BC}$, and $\overline{CD}$. The plane's intersection with the pyramid has an area that can be expressed as $\sqrt{p}$. Find $p$.

Place the pyramid on a coordinate system with $A$ at $(0,0,0)$, $B$ at $(4,0,0)$, $C$ at $(4,4,0)$, $D$ at $(0,4,0)$ and with $E$ at $(2,2,2\sqrt{2})$. Let $R$, $S$, and $T$ be the midpoints of $\overline{AE}$, $\overline{BC}$, and $\overline{CD}$ respectively. The coordinates of $R$, $S$, and $T$ are respectively $(1,1,\sqrt{2})$, $(4,2,0)$ and $(2,4,0)$.

Points on $\overline{BE}$ have coordinates of the form $(4-t, t, t\sqrt{2}).$ Substituting into the equation of the plane, we get \[4 - t + t + 4t = 6.\]Then $t = \frac{1}{2},$ so $U = \left(\dfrac{7}{2},\dfrac{1}{2},\dfrac{\sqrt{2}}{2}\right).$ Similarly, points on $\overline{DE}$ have coordinates of the form $(t,4-t,t\sqrt{2}).$ Substituting into the equation of the plane, we get \[t + 4 - t + 4t = 6.\]Then $t = \frac{1}{2},$ so $V = \left(\dfrac{1}{2},\dfrac{7}{2},\dfrac{\sqrt{2}}{2}\right).$ Then $RU=RV=\sqrt{7}$, $US=VT=\sqrt{3}$ and $ST = 2\sqrt{2}$.

Let $a,$ $b,$ $c$ be integers such that \[\mathbf{A} = \frac{1}{5} \begin{pmatrix} -3 & a \\ b & c \end{pmatrix}\]and $\mathbf{A}^2 = \mathbf{I}.$ Find the largest possible value of $a + b + c.$
gpt
We have that \begin{align*} \mathbf{A}^2 &= \frac{1}{25} \begin{pmatrix} -3 & a \\ b & c \end{pmatrix} \begin{pmatrix} -3 & a \\ b & c \end{pmatrix} \\ &= \frac{1}{25} \begin{pmatrix} 9 + ab & -3a + ac \\ -3b + bc & ab + c^2 \end{pmatrix}. \end{align*}Thus, $9 + ab = ab + c^2 = 25$ and $-3a + ac = -3b + bc = 0.$ From $9 + ab = ab + c^2 = 25,$ $ab = 16$ and $c^2 = 9,$ so $c = \pm 3.$ If $c = -3,$ then $-6a = -6b = 0,$ so $a = b = 0.$ But then $ab = 0,$ contradiction, so $c = 3.$ Thus, any values of $a,$ $b,$ and $c$ such that $ab = 16$ and $c = 3$ work. We want to maximize $a + b + c = a + \frac{16}{a} + 3.$ Since $a$ is an integer, $a$ must divide 16. We can then check that $a + \frac{16}{a} + 3$ is maximized when $a = 1$ or $a = 16,$ which gives a maximum value of $\boxed{20}.$

Lines $l_1^{}$ and $l_2^{}$ both pass through the origin and make first-quadrant angles of $\frac{\pi}{70}$ and $\frac{\pi}{54}$ radians, respectively, with the positive $x$-axis. For any line $l$, the transformation $R(l)$ produces another line as follows: $l$ is reflected in $l_1$, and the resulting line is reflected in $l_2$. Let $R^{(1)}(l)=R(l)$ and $R^{(n)}(l)=R\left(R^{(n-1)}(l)\right)$. Given that $l$ is the line $y=\frac{19}{92}x$, find the smallest positive integer $m$ for which $R^{(m)}(l)=l$.
gpt
More generally, suppose we have a line $l$ that is reflect across line $l_1$ to obtain line $l'.$ [asy] unitsize(3 cm); draw(-0.2*dir(35)--dir(35)); draw(-0.2*dir(60)--dir(60)); draw(-0.2*dir(10)--dir(10)); draw((-0.2,0)--(1,0)); draw((0,-0.2)--(0,1)); label("$l$", dir(60), NE); label("$l_1$", dir(35), NE); label("$l'$", dir(10), E); [/asy] Also, suppose line $l$ makes angle $\theta$ with the $x$-axis, and line $l_1$ makes angle $\alpha$ with the $x$-axis. Then line $l'$ makes angle $2 \alpha - \theta$ with the $x$-axis. (This should make sense, because line $l_1$ is "half-way" between lines $l$ and $l',$ so the angle of line $l_1$ is the average of the angles of line $l$ and $l'$.) So, if $l$ makes an angle of $\theta$ with the $x$-axis, then its reflection $l'$ across line $l_1$ makes an angle of \[2 \cdot \frac{\pi}{70} - \theta = \frac{\pi}{35} - \theta\]with the $x$-axis. Then the reflection of $l'$ across line $l_2$ makes an angle of \[2 \cdot \frac{\pi}{54} - \left( \frac{\pi}{35} - \theta \right) = \theta + \frac{8 \pi}{945}\]with the $x$-axis. Therefore, the line $R^{(n)}(l)$ makes an angle of \[\theta + \frac{8 \pi}{945} \cdot n\]with the $x$-axis. For this line to coincide with the original line $l,$ \[\frac{8 \pi}{945} \cdot n\]must be an integer multiple of $2 \pi.$ The smallest such positive integer for which this happens is $n = \boxed{945}.$

One line is described by \[\begin{pmatrix} 2 \\ 3 \\ 4 \end{pmatrix} + t \begin{pmatrix} 1 \\ 1 \\ -k \end{pmatrix}.\]Another line is described by \[\begin{pmatrix} 1 \\ 4 \\ 5 \end{pmatrix} + u \begin{pmatrix} k \\ 2 \\ 1 \end{pmatrix}.\]If the lines are coplanar (i.e. there is a plane that contains both lines), then find all possible values of $k.$
gpt
The direction vectors of the lines are $\begin{pmatrix} 1 \\ 1 \\ -k \end{pmatrix}$ and $\begin{pmatrix} k \\ 2 \\ 1 \end{pmatrix}.$ Suppose these vectors are proportional. Then comparing $y$-coordinates, we can get the second vector by multiplying the first vector by 2. But then $2 = k$ and $-2k = 1,$ which is not possible. So the vectors cannot be proportional, which means that the lines cannot be parallel. Therefore, the only way that the lines can be coplanar is if they intersect. Equating the representations for both lines, and comparing entries, we get \begin{align*} 2 + t &= 1 + ku, \\ 3 + t &= 4 + 2u, \\ 4 - kt &= 5 + u. \end{align*}Then $t = 2u + 1.$ Substituting into the first equation, we get $2u + 3 = 1 + ku,$ so $ku = 2u + 2.$ Substituting into the second equation, we get $4 - k(2u + 1) = 5 + u,$ so $2ku = -k - u - 1.$ Hence, $4u + 4 = -k - u - 1,$ so $k = -5u - 5.$ Then \[(-5u - 5)u = 2u + 2,\]which simplifies to $5u^2 + 7u + 2 = 0.$ This factors as $(u + 1)(5u + 2) = 0,$ so $u = -1$ or $u = -\frac{2}{5}.$ This leads to the possible values $\boxed{0,-3}$ for $k.$

In coordinate space, a particle starts at the point $(2,3,4)$ and ends at the point $(-1,-3,-3),$ along the line connecting the two points. Along the way, the particle intersects the unit sphere centered at the origin at two points. Then the distance between these two points can be expressed in the form $\frac{a}{\sqrt{b}},$ where $a$ and $b$ are positive integers, and $b$ is not divisible by the square of a prime. Find $a + b.$

The line can be parameterized by \[\begin{pmatrix} 2 \\ 3 \\ 4 \end{pmatrix} + t \left( \begin{pmatrix} -1 \\ -3 \\ -3 \end{pmatrix} - \begin{pmatrix} 2 \\ 3 \\ 4 \end{pmatrix} \right) = \begin{pmatrix} 2 - 3t \\ 3 - 6t \\ 4 - 7t \end{pmatrix}.\]Then the particle intersects the sphere when \[(2 - 3t)^2 + (3 - 6t)^2 + (4 - 7t)^2 = 1.\]This simplifies to $94t^2 - 104t + 28 = 0.$ Let $t_1$ and $t_2$ be the roots, so by Vieta's formulas, $t_1 + t_2 = \frac{104}{94} = \frac{52}{47}$ and $t_1 t_2 = \frac{28}{94} = \frac{14}{47}.$ Then \[(t_1 - t_2)^2 = (t_1 + t_2)^2 - 4t_1 t_2 = \frac{72}{2209},\]so $|t_1 - t_2| = \sqrt{\frac{72}{2209}} = \frac{6 \sqrt{2}}{47}.$ The two points of intersection are then $(2 - 3t_1, 3 - 6t_1, 4 - 7t_1)$ and $(2 - 3t_2, 3 - 6t_2, 4 - 7t_2),$ so the distance between them is \[\sqrt{3^2 (t_1 - t_2)^2 + 6^2 (t_1 - t_2)^2 + 7^2 (t_1 - t_2)^2} = \sqrt{94} \cdot \frac{6 \sqrt{2}}{47} = \frac{12}{\sqrt{47}}.\]Thus, $a + b = 12 + 47 = \boxed{59}.$

The determinant $D$ is given by $\mathbf{a} \cdot (\mathbf{b} \times \mathbf{c}).$ Then the determinant of the matrix whose column vectors are $\mathbf{a} + \mathbf{b},$ $\mathbf{b} + \mathbf{c},$ and $\mathbf{c} + \mathbf{a}$ is given by \[(\mathbf{a} + \mathbf{b}) \cdot ((\mathbf{b} + \mathbf{c}) \times (\mathbf{c} + \mathbf{a})).\]We can first expand the cross product: \begin{align*} (\mathbf{b} + \mathbf{c}) \times (\mathbf{c} + \mathbf{a}) &= \mathbf{b} \times \mathbf{c} + \mathbf{b} \times \mathbf{a} + \mathbf{c} \times \mathbf{c} + \mathbf{c} \times \mathbf{a} \\ &= \mathbf{b} \times \mathbf{a} + \mathbf{c} \times \mathbf{a} + \mathbf{b} \times \mathbf{c}. \end{align*}Then \begin{align*} (\mathbf{a} + \mathbf{b}) \cdot ((\mathbf{b} + \mathbf{c}) \times (\mathbf{c} + \mathbf{a})) &= (\mathbf{a} + \mathbf{b}) \cdot (\mathbf{b} \times \mathbf{a} + \mathbf{c} \times \mathbf{a} + \mathbf{b} \times \mathbf{c}) \\ &= \mathbf{a} \cdot (\mathbf{b} \times \mathbf{a}) + \mathbf{a} \cdot (\mathbf{c} \times \mathbf{a}) + \mathbf{a} \cdot (\mathbf{b} \times \mathbf{c}) \\ &\quad + \mathbf{b} \cdot (\mathbf{b} \times \mathbf{a}) + \mathbf{b} \cdot (\mathbf{c} \times \mathbf{a}) + \mathbf{b} \cdot (\mathbf{b} \times \mathbf{c}). \end{align*}Since $\mathbf{a}$ and $\mathbf{b} \times \mathbf{a}$ are orthogonal, their dot product is 0. Similarly, most of these dot products vanish, and we are left with \[\mathbf{a} \cdot (\mathbf{b} \times \mathbf{c}) + \mathbf{b} \cdot (\mathbf{c} \times \mathbf{a}).\]By the scalar triple product, $\mathbf{a} \cdot (\mathbf{b} \times \mathbf{c}) = \mathbf{b} \cdot (\mathbf{c} \times \mathbf{a}) = D,$ so the determinant of the matrix whose column vectors are $\mathbf{a} + \mathbf{b},$ $\mathbf{b} + \mathbf{c},$ and $\mathbf{c} + \mathbf{a}$ is $\boxed{2D}.$

Suppose the curve intersects itself when $t = a$ and $t = b,$ so $a^2 - 2 = b^2 - 2$ and $a^3 - 9a + 5 = b^3 - 9b + 5.$ Then $a^2 = b^2,$ so $a = \pm b.$ We assume that $a \neq b,$ so $a = -b,$ or $b = -a.$ Then \[a^3 - 9a + 5 = (-a)^3 - 9(-a) + 5 = -a^3 + 9a + 5,\]or $2a^3 - 18a = 0.$ This factors as $2a (a - 3)(a + 3) = 0.$ If $a = 0,$ then $b = 0,$ so we reject this solution. Otherwise, $a = \pm 3.$ For either value, $(x,y) = \boxed{(7,5)}.$
