A square has sides of length 10, and a circle centered at one of its vertices has radius 10. What is the area of the union of the regions enclosed by the square and the circle? Express your answer in terms of $\pi$.
gpt
The areas of the regions enclosed by the square and the circle are $10^{2}=100$ and $\pi(10)^{2}= 100\pi$, respectively. One quarter of the second region is also included in the first, so the area of the union is \[ 100+ 100\pi -25\pi= \boxed{100+75\pi}. \]

The rules for a race require that all runners start at $A$, touch any part of the 1200-meter wall, and stop at $B$. What is the number of meters in the minimum distance a participant must run? Express your answer to the nearest meter.

Call the point where the the runner touches the wall $C$. Reflect $B$ across the wall to $B'$. Since $CB=CB'$, minimizing $AC+CB$ is equivalent to minimizing $AC+CB'$. The wall is between $A$ and $B'$, so we may choose $C$ on line segment $AB'$. This choice minimizes $AC+CB'$, because the shortest distance between two points is a straight line. By the Pythagorean theorem, $AB'=\sqrt{1200^2+(300+500)^2}=400\sqrt{13}$ meters, which to the nearest meter is $\boxed{1442}$ meters.

In pentagon $ABCDE$, $BC=CD=DE=2$ units, $\angle E$ is a right angle and $m \angle B = m \angle C = m \angle D = 135^\circ$. The length of segment $AE$ can be expressed in simplest radical form as $a+2\sqrt{b}$ units. What is the value of $a+b$?
gpt
We draw the pentagon as follows, and draw altitude $\overline{BG}$ from $B$ to $\overline{AE}$. Since $\angle BAG = 45^\circ$, $AG=GB$. [asy] import olympiad; draw((0,0)--(1,0)--(1+1/sqrt(2),1/sqrt(2))--(1+1/sqrt(2),1+1/sqrt(2))--(-1-1/sqrt(2),1+1/sqrt(2))--cycle); draw((0,1+1/sqrt(2))--(0,0)); draw(rightanglemark((0,0),(0,1+1/sqrt(2)),(-1-1/sqrt(2),1+1/sqrt(2)))); label("$B$",(0,0),SW); label("$G$",(0,1+1/sqrt(2)),N); label("$C$",(1,0),SE); label("$D$",(1+1/sqrt(2),1/sqrt(2)),E); label("$E$",(1+1/sqrt(2),1+1/sqrt(2)),NE); label("$A$",(-1-1/sqrt(2),1+1/sqrt(2)),NW); label("2",(.5,0),S); label("2",(1.7,1.2),E); label("2",(1.3,.5)); draw((1,0)--(1+1/sqrt(2),0)--(1+1/sqrt(2),1/sqrt(2)),dashed); label("$F$",(1+1/sqrt(2),0),SE); [/asy] We extend lines $BC$ and $ED$ past points $C$ and $D$ respectively until they intersect at $F$. $\triangle CFD$ is a 45-45-90 triangle with $CF=FD=\frac{2}{\sqrt{2}}=\sqrt{2}$. So $GBFE$ is a square with side length $2+\sqrt{2}$, and $AG = BG = 2+\sqrt{2}$. It follows that $AE = AG + GE = 2(2+\sqrt{2}) = 4+2\sqrt{2}$, and finally $a+b = \boxed{6}$.

From $30^\circ$-$60^\circ$-$90^\circ$ triangle $CEB$, we have $BC=6\sqrt{3}$. Therefore, $FD=AD-AF=6\sqrt{3}-2$. In the $30^\circ$-$60^\circ$-$90^\circ$ triangle $CFD$, $CD=FD\sqrt{3}=18-2\sqrt{3}$. The area of rectangle $ABCD$ is $$(BC)(CD)=\left(6\sqrt{3}\right)\left(18-2\sqrt{3}\right)= \boxed{108\sqrt{3}-36}.$$

Let $A,$ $B,$ and $C$ be points on a circle of radius $18.$ If $\angle ACB = 70^\circ,$ what is the circumference of the minor arc ${AB}$? Express your answer in terms of $\pi.$

A diagram can help us get on the right track. [asy] pair pA, pB, pC, pO; pO = (0, 0); pA = pO + dir(-40); pB = pO + dir(100); pC = pO + dir(180); draw(pA--pC--pB); label("$A$", pA, SE); label("$B$", pB, N); label("$C$", pC, W); draw(circle(pO, 1)); [/asy] First of all, the circumference of the entire circle is $36\pi.$ Since $\angle C = 70^\circ,$ we can see that the minor arc ${AB}$ has measure of twice that, or $140^\circ.$ Therefore, we can find its circumference by finding $36\pi \cdot \frac{140^\circ}{360^\circ} = \boxed{14\pi}.$

Triangle $ABC$ has vertices $A(0,8)$, $B(2,0)$, $C(8,0)$. A vertical line intersects $AC$ at $R$ and $\overline{BC}$ at $S$, forming triangle $RSC$. If the area of $\triangle RSC$ is 12.5, determine the positive difference of the $x$ and $y$ coordinates of point $R$.
gpt
Since $\overline{RS}$ is vertical and $S$ lies on $\overline{BC}$ which is horizontal, $\triangle RSC$ has a right angle at $S$. $R$ lies on line segment $\overline{AC}$, which has slope $\frac{0-8}{8-0}=-1$. Since line $AC$ has a slope of $-1$, it makes an angle of $45^\circ$ with the $x$-axis, and the angle between lines $RC$ and $SC$ is $45^\circ$. Since $\triangle RSC$ is right-angled at $S$ and has a $45^\circ$ angle at $C$, then the third-angle must be $180^\circ - 90^\circ - 45^\circ = 45^\circ$, which means that the triangle is right-angled and isosceles. Let $RS=SC=x$; then the area of $\triangle RSC$ is $\frac{1}{2}x^2$. But we know that this area is 12.5, so $\frac{1}{2}x^2 = 12.5 \Rightarrow x^2=25$. Since $x>0$, we have $x=5$. Thus, $S$ is 5 units to the left of $C$ and has coordinates $(8-5,0)=(3,0)$. Point $R$ is 5 units above $S$ and has coordinates $(3,0+5)=(3,5)$. Finally, the desired difference is $5-3=\boxed{2}$.

In trapezoid $ABCD$, the parallel sides $AB$ and $CD$ have lengths of 8 and 20 units, respectively, and the altitude is 12 units. Points $E$ and $F$ are the midpoints of sides $AD$ and $BC$, respectively. What is the area of quadrilateral $EFCD$ in square units?
gpt
Since $E$ and $F$ are midpoints of the legs of the trapezoid, quadrilateral $EFCD$ is a trapezoid with half the altitude of the original trapezoid (the altitude of trapezoid $EFCD$ is $12/2 = 6$). The length of base $CD$ is still $20$, but now we have to find the length of base $EF$. Since $EF$ connects the midpoints of the legs of the trapezoid, its length is also the average of the lengths of $AB$ and $CD$. Thus, $EF$ has length $\frac{8+20}{2} = 14$. Finally, we can find the area of the trapezoid with the formula $\text{Area} = a \left(\frac{b_1+b_2}{2}\right)$ where $a$ is the altitude and $b_1$ and $b_2$ are the lengths of the bases. The area of trapezoid $EFCD $ is $6 \left(\frac{14+20}{2}\right)=6 \cdot 17 = \boxed{102}$ square units.

In the figure, the visible gray area within the larger circle is equal to three times the area of the white circular region. What is the ratio of the radius of the small circle to the radius of the large circle? Express your answer as a common fraction. [asy]size(101); filldraw(Circle((0,0),2)^^Circle((.8,-.3),1),gray(.6)+fillrule(1),black);[/asy]
gpt
Let $a$ be the radius of the small circle, and let $b$ be the radius of the large circle. Then the area of the gray area is $\pi b^2 - \pi a^2,$ so \[\pi b^2 - \pi a^2 = 3 (\pi a^2).\]Then $b^2 - a^2 = 3a^2,$ which simplifies to \[b^2 = 4a^2.\]Since $a$ and $b$ are positive, $b = 2a,$ so $\frac{a}{b} = \boxed{\frac{1}{2}}.$

Tony will paint 16 right, cylindrical columns. The top face and bottom face of each column will be covered, so those parts will not be painted. Each column is 18 feet tall and has a diameter of 10 feet. One gallon of paint will cover 350 square feet. If paint is sold only in full gallons, how many gallons of paint must Tony buy to paint all 16 columns?
gpt
Since each column has a radius of 5 feet and height of 18 feet, the lateral surface area of each column is $2 \pi (5) \cdot 18 = 180 \pi$ square feet. Thus, the lateral surface area of 16 columns is $180\pi\cdot16\approx9043$ square feet. Since each gallon of paint covers 350 square feet, and since $9043/350\approx25.8$, we need $\boxed{26}$ gallons of paint.

The midpoints of the sides of a regular hexagon $ABCDEF$ are joined to form a smaller hexagon. What fraction of the area of $ABCDEF$ is enclosed by the smaller hexagon?

gpt
Let $R$ and $S$ be the vertices of the smaller hexagon adjacent to vertex $E$ of the larger hexagon, and let $O$ be the center of the hexagons. Then, since $\angle ROS=60^\circ$, quadrilateral $ORES$ encloses $1/6$ of the area of $ABCDEF$, $\triangle ORS$ encloses $1/6$ of the area of the smaller hexagon, and $\triangle ORS$ is equilateral. Let $T$ be the center of $\triangle ORS$. Then triangles $TOR$, $TRS$, and $TSO$ are congruent isosceles triangles with largest angle $120^\circ$. Triangle $ERS$ is an isosceles triangle with largest angle $120^\circ$ and a side in common with $\triangle TRS$, so $ORES$ is partitioned into four congruent triangles, exactly three of which form $\triangle ORS$. Since the ratio of the area enclosed by the small regular hexagon to the area of $ABCDEF$ is the same as the ratio of the area enclosed by $\triangle ORS$ to the area enclosed by $ORES$, the ratio is $\boxed{\frac{3}{4}}$.

A right cylindrical oil tank is $15$ feet tall and its circular bases have diameters of $4$ feet each. When the tank is lying flat on its side (not on one of the circular ends), the oil inside is $3$ feet deep. How deep, in feet, would the oil have been if the tank had been standing upright on one of its bases? Express your answer as a decimal to the nearest tenth.
gpt
Since the oil is $3$ feet deep, we want to find the ratio of the area of the part of the circle covered with oil (part under the horizontal line of the figure below) to the entire area of the circle. [asy] draw(Circle((0,0),2)); draw((-1.732,1)--(1.732,1)); draw((0,0)--(-1.732,1)); draw((0,0)--(1.732,1)); draw((0,0)--(0,1)); [/asy] The two radii drawn makes a $120$ degree angle, so the area of the fraction of the circle covered by the oil is $\frac23$ of the circle in addition to the isosceles triangle. We can find the length of half the base of the isosceles triangle by using the Pythagorean theorem on the smaller right triangle. Setting half the length of the base to $x$, we have $x^2+1=4$, so $x=\sqrt{3}$ and the length of the base is $2\sqrt3$. Therefore, we have that the area of the triangle is $\frac12 \cdot 1 \cdot 2\sqrt3=\sqrt3$. So, the area of the part of the circle that's covered in oil is $\frac23 \cdot 4\pi + \sqrt3=\frac83\pi+\sqrt3$. Thus, we have that the oil takes up $\dfrac{\frac83\pi+\sqrt3}{4\pi} \approx \frac{10.11}{12.57} \approx 0.805$ of the cylinder. With the cylinder upright, the fraction of the cylinder the oil covers is the same as the fraction of the height the oil covers. Therefore, the oil would be $15 \text{ feet} \cdot 0.805 \approx 12.08 \approx \boxed{12.1}$.

In the figure below, $ABCD$ is a square piece of paper 6 cm on each side. Corner $C$ is folded over so that it coincides with $E$, the midpoint of $\overline{AD}$. If $\overline{GF}$ represents the crease created by the fold such that $F$ is on $CD,$ what is the length of $\overline{FD}$? Express your answer as a common fraction.

gpt
Notice that after folding the paper, $\overline{CF}$ becomes $\overline{EF}$ (we are basically reflecting the segment across the crease line). If $FD=x$, then $CF=EF=6-x$. Angle $FDE$ is a right angle since $ABCD$ is a square, so $\triangle FDE$ is a right triangle. We also know the length of $\overline{ED}$ is $3$ since $E$ is the midpoint of $\overline{AD}$. By the Pythagorean Theorem, $(6-x)^2=x^2+3^2$ and we can solve for $x$. \begin{align*} (36-12x+x^2)&=x^2+9\quad\Rightarrow\\ 36-12x&=9\quad\Rightarrow\\ 27&=12x\quad\Rightarrow\\ \frac{9}{4}&=x \end{align*} The length of $\overline{FD}$ is $\boxed{\frac94}$ cm.

We look at the lateral area of the cylinder as a rectangle (imagine a peeling the label off of a soup can and laying it flat). The length of the rectangle is the circumference of the base, $12$ inches in this case, and the width of the rectangle is the height of the cylinder, $5$ inches. The spiral strip goes from one corner of the rectangular lateral area to the other, so it is also the hypotenuse of a right triangle. We find the length of the hypotenuse with the Pythagorean Theorem, or we recognize that $5$ and $12$ are part of the Pythagorean triple $(5, 12, 13)$, so the length of the hypotenuse (the spiral strip) is $\boxed{13}$ inches.

At the MP Donut Hole Factory, Niraek, Theo, and Akshaj are coating spherical donut holes in powdered sugar. Niraek's donut holes have radius 6 mm, Theo's donut holes have radius 8 mm, and Akshaj's donut holes have radius 10 mm. All three workers coat the surface of the donut holes at the same rate and start at the same time. Assuming that the powdered sugar coating has negligible thickness and is distributed equally on all donut holes, how many donut holes will Niraek have covered by the first time all three workers finish their current donut hole at the same time?
gpt
The amount of powdered sugar on a given donut hole is given by the surface area of the donut hole. The surface area of a sphere with radius $r$ is $4\pi r^2$, so Niraek's donut holes each have surface area $4\pi \cdot 6^2 = 144\pi$ square millimeters. Similarly, Theo's donut holes each have surface area $4\pi \cdot 8^2 = 256\pi$ square millimeters and Akshaj's donut holes each have surface area $4\pi \cdot 10^2 = 400\pi$ square millimeters. To determine the amount of powdered sugar used the first time all three workers finish at the same time, we compute the lowest common multiple of $144\pi$, $256\pi$, and $400\pi$. $144=2^4\cdot 3^2$, $256=2^8$, and $400=2^4\cdot 5^2$, so the desired LCM is $2^8\cdot 3^2\cdot 5^2\pi$. The number of donut holes Niraek will have covered by this point is $\frac{2^8\cdot 3^2\cdot 5^2\pi }{ 144\pi }= 2^4\cdot 5^2 = \boxed{400}$.

We use Pythagorean theorem on $\triangle ORP$: we have $OP=8+2=10$ and $OR=8-2=6$, so $RP=\sqrt{OP^2-OR^2}=\sqrt{10^2-6^2}=8$. Then $TS=8$ as well.

A spherical soap bubble lands on a horizontal wet surface and forms a hemisphere of the same volume. Given the radius of the hemisphere is $3\sqrt[3]{2}$ cm, find the radius of the original bubble.
gpt
A sphere with radius $r$ has volume $\frac43\pi r^3$, so the volume of a hemisphere with radius $r$ is $\frac23\pi r^3$. Therefore if a hemisphere of radius $r$ has the same volume as a sphere of radius $R$, we get $\frac43\pi R^3=\frac23 \pi r^3$. Simplifying gives $R^3=\frac12 r^3\Rightarrow R=\frac{1}{\sqrt[3]{2}}r$. We know that $r=3\sqrt[3]{2}$ and that $R$ is the quantity we want to solve for, so substituting in our value of $r$ gives $R=\frac{1}{\sqrt[3]{2}}\cdot 3\sqrt[3]{2}=\boxed{3}.$

We can now employ the Pythagorean Theorem in triangle $ABH$ to compute \[ BH = \sqrt{(AB)^2-(AH)^2} = \sqrt{4^2-3^2} = \sqrt{7}. \] Finally, we use the Pythagorean Theorem in triangle $BHC$ to find that \[ BC = \sqrt{(BH)^2+(HC)^2} = \sqrt{(\sqrt{7})^2+1^2} = \sqrt{8} = \boxed{2\sqrt{2}}. \]

Thus, $\triangle ABH$ and $\triangle CBH$ are congruent $30^\circ - 60^\circ - 90^\circ$ triangles. These triangles are each half an equilateral triangle, so their short leg is half as long as their hypotenuse. Since $AB=BC=10$, we have $BH = AB/2 = 5$ and $AH = CH = \sqrt{10^2-5^2} = \sqrt{75} = 5\sqrt{3}$. (Notice that this value is $\sqrt{3}$ times the length of $BH$, the short leg. In general, the ratio of the sides in a $30^\circ - 60^\circ - 90^\circ$ is $1:\sqrt{3}:2$, which can be shown by the Pythagorean Theorem.) Then, $AC = 2\cdot 5\sqrt{3} = 10\sqrt{3}$. The shaded region is a rectangle with base length $10$ and height length $10\sqrt{3}$; its area is $10\cdot 10\sqrt{3} = \boxed{100\sqrt{3}}$ square cm.

For his birthday, Bert gets a box that holds $125$ jellybeans when filled to capacity. A few weeks later, Carrie gets a larger box full of jellybeans. Her box is twice as high, twice as wide and twice as long as Bert's. Approximately, how many jellybeans did Carrie get?
gpt
Since the exact dimensions of Bert's box do not matter, assume the box is $1 \times 2 \times 3$. Its volume is 6. Carrie's box is $2 \times 4 \times 6$, so its volume is 48 or 8 times the volume of Bert's box. Carrie has approximately $8(125) = \boxed{1000}$ jellybeans. $\textbf{Note:}$ Other examples may help to see that the ratio is always 8 to 1.

The corner of a unit cube is chopped off such that the cut runs through the three vertices adjacent to the vertex of the chosen corner. What is the height of the remaining cube when the freshly-cut face is placed on a table?
gpt
The major diagonal has a length of $\sqrt{3}$. The volume of the pyramid is $1/6$, and so its height $h$ satisfies $\frac{1}{3}\cdot h\cdot \frac{\sqrt{3}}{4}(\sqrt{2})^2=1/6$ since the freshly cut face is an equilateral triangle of side length $\sqrt{2}$. Thus $h=\sqrt{3}/3$, and the answer is $\boxed{\frac{2\sqrt{3}}{3}}$.

A right cone has a base with a circumference of $16\pi$ inches and a height of 30 inches. The height of this cone is reduced while the circumference stays the same. The volume of the shorter cone is $192\pi$ cubic inches. What is the ratio of the shorter height to the original height? Express your answer as a common fraction.
gpt
Let the cone have radius $r$ inches; we have $2\pi r = 16\pi$, so $r = 8$. Let the new height of the cone be $h$ inches. We have $192\pi = (1/3)\pi(8^2)(h)$; solving yields $h = 9$. Thus the ratio of the new height to the original height is $9/30 = \boxed{\frac{3}{10}}$.

An equilateral triangle has two vertices at $(0,5)$ and $(8,5)$. If the third vertex is in the first quadrant, what is the y-coordinate? Express your answer in simplest radical form.

To begin this problem, we first notice that the side length of this equilateral triangle is $8$ (the distance between the two points given). We then consider the altitude of an equilateral triangle with side length $8$. If we draw an equilateral triangle and its altitude, we notice that the altitude splits the equilateral triangle into two $30-60-90$ triangles with the side length being the hypotenuse of these triangles. In our case, the hypotenuse of the $30-60-90$ triangle has length $8$, so the altitude (the side opposite the $60^\circ$ angle) has length $4\sqrt{3}$ because the side lengths of a $30-60-90$ triangle are related in the ratio $1:\sqrt{3}:2$. Since the base of the equilateral triangle is at a $y$-coordinate of $5$ and $4\sqrt{3}>5$, for the third vertex to be in the first quadrant, its $y$ coordinate must be $5$ $+ $ the altitude of the equilateral triangle. The third vertex has a $y$-coordinate of $\boxed{5+4\sqrt{3}}$.

We do so by drawing altitude $\overline{SF}$ from $S$ to diagonal $\overline{PR}$ as shown. We then have $\cos \angle PXS = \cos\angle FXS = \frac{FX}{XS}$. The Pythagorean Theorem gives us $PR = QS = 26$, so $XP=SX = QS/2 = 13$. We also have $\triangle FPS \sim \triangle SPR$ by AA Similarity (both are right triangles and $\angle SPR = \angle FPS$), so \[\frac{FP}{PS} = \frac{SP}{PR}.\]This gives us \[FP = PS \cdot \frac{SP}{PR} = \frac{10\cdot 10}{26} = \frac{50}{13}.\]Finally, we have $FX = XP - FP = 13 - \frac{50}{13} = \frac{119}{13}$, so \[\cos \angle PXS = \frac{FX}{XS} = \frac{119/13}{13} = \boxed{\frac{119}{169}}.\]

Trapezoid $ABCD$ has base $AB = 20$ units and base $CD = 30$ units. Diagonals $AC$ and $BD$ intersect at $X$. If the area of trapezoid $ABCD$ is $300$ square units, what is the area of triangle $BXC$?
gpt
The formula for the area of a trapezoid is $\frac{1}{2}h\times(b_1+b_2)$, with $h$ being the height, $b_1$ being the shorter base, and $b_2$ being the longer base. We can find the height of this particular trapezoid with algebra: \begin{align*} 300&=\frac{1}{2}h\times(20+30)\\ 600&=h\times50\\ h&=12 \end{align*}Now that we know the height of the trapezoid, we can find the area of triangle $ADC$, whose base is $30$ (the longer base of the trapezoid), and whose height is $12$. Therefore, the area of triangle $ADC=\frac{1}{2}\cdot30\times12=180$. We can use this information to find that the area of triangle $ABC$, or the upper portion of the trapezoid, is $300-180=120$. Now we need to separate the area of $BXC$ from $AXB$, knowing that $ABC=120$. Because trapezoid $ABCD$ is not necessarily an isosceles trapezoid, nothing can be assumed about the diagonals, except that they will cut each other, and the height, in the same ratio as the bases, or $2:3$. The height of the trapezoid, $12$ units, is therefore divided into the heights of triangles $DXC$ and $AXB$. We can find these heights with the equation, letting $x$ be the height of triangle $DXC$: \begin{align*} \frac{2}{3}\cdot x+x&=12\\ x\left(\frac{2}{3}+1\right)&=12\\ \frac{5}{3}x&=12\\ x&=7.2 \end{align*}So, the height of triangle $AXB$ is $\frac{2}{3}\times7.2=4.8$. We know that $AB$, the base of $AXB$, is $20$ units, so the area of $AXB=\frac{1}{2}(20)\times4.8=48$. Therefore, the area of triangle $BXC=120-48=\boxed{72}$ square units.

Since $AD$ is a median, $D$ is the midpoint of $BC$, so $BD = CD = 4$. Let $P$ be the projection of $A$ onto $BC$. (Without loss of generality, we may assume that $P$ lies on $BD$.) Let $x = BP$, so $PD = 4 - x$. Let $h = AP$. [asy] unitsize(0.4 cm); pair A, B, C, D, P; A = (4,12); B = (0,0); C = (14,0); D = (B + C)/2; P = (A + reflect(B,C)*(A))/2; draw(A--B--C--cycle); draw(A--D); draw(A--P); label("$A$", A, dir(90)); label("$B$", B, SW); label("$C$", C, SE); label("$D$", D, SE); label("$P$", P, SW); label("$x$", (B + P)/2, S); label("$4 - x$", (P + D)/2, S); label("$4$", (D + C)/2, S); label("$5$", (A + D)/2, E); label("$h$", (A + P)/2, W); [/asy] Then by Pythagoras on right triangles $APB$, $APC$, and $APD$, \begin{align*} AB^2 &= x^2 + h^2, \\ AC^2 &= (8 - x)^2 + h^2, \\ 25 &= (4 - x)^2 + h^2. \end{align*}Adding the first two equations, we get \[AB^2 + AC^2 = x^2 + h^2 + (8 - x)^2 + h^2 = 2x^2 - 16x + 64 + 2h^2.\]But from the third equation, $25 = x^2 - 8x + 16 + h^2$, so \begin{align*} AB^2 + AC^2 &= 2x^2 - 16x + 64 + 2h^2 \\ &= 2(x^2 - 8x + 16 + h^2) + 32 \\ &= 2 \cdot 25 + 32 \\ &= 82. \end{align*}Hence, from the given data, $AB^2 + AC^2$ can only take on the value 82. Therefore, $M = m = 82$, so $M - m = \boxed{0}$.

At 8:00, the hour hand is in the 8 o'clock position and the minute hand is in the 12 o'clock position.

Every minute, the minute hand goes $\frac{1}{60}(360^\circ)=6$ degrees and the hour hand goes $\frac{1}{60}\cdot\frac{1}{12} (360^\circ)=0.5$ degrees. Therefore, the angle between the hands decreases at a rate of 5.5 degrees per minute. After 15 minutes, the angle between the hands has decreased to $240^\circ-5.5^\circ\cdot 15=\boxed{157.5}$ degrees.

We look at right triangle $\triangle OAB$. We seek a ratio of areas, which remains constant no matter the side lengths, so for simplicity, we let the big square have side length $2$ and the small square have side length $2x$. Then, $OA=1+2x$, $AB=x$, and $OB$ is a radius of the circle, which has length $\sqrt{2}$ by 45-45-90 triangles. Then, the Pythagorean theorem states that $OA^2+AB^2=OB^2$, or \[(1+2x)^2 + x^2 = (\sqrt{2})^2.\] Simplifying the equation yields \begin{align*} & 1+4x+4x^2 + x^2 = 2 \\ \Longleftrightarrow\ & 5x^2 + 4x-1 =0 \\ \Longleftrightarrow\ & (5x-1)(x+1). \end{align*} Thus, $x=-1$ or $x=1/5$. Lengths are clearly positive, so the valid solution is $x=1/5$. Then the small square has side length $2x=2/5$, and area $(2/5)^2 = 4/25$. The large square has area $2^2=4$, so the small square has \[\frac{4/25}{4}=1/25=\boxed{4\%}\] the area of the large square.

More generally, suppose $(a_i),$ $(b_i),$ $(c_i)$ represent the entries in rows $n - 1,$ $n,$ $n + 1$ of Pascal's triangle. Then \[a_i = \binom{n - 1}{i}, \ b_i = \binom{n}{i}, \ c_i = \binom{n + 1}{i},\]so \begin{align*} \frac{a_i}{b_i} &= \frac{\binom{n - 1}{i}}{\binom{n}{i}} \\ &= \frac{\frac{(n - 1)!}{i!

Then by AM-GM, \[a^2 + \frac{3}{4a^2} \ge 2 \sqrt{a^2 \cdot \frac{3}{4a^2}} = \sqrt{3}.\]Equality occurs when $a = \sqrt[4]{\frac{3}{4}},$ so the minimum value is $\boxed{\sqrt{3}}.$

The increasing sequence of positive integers $a_1,$ $a_2,$ $a_3,$ $\dots$ has the property that \[a_{n + 2} = a_{n + 1} + a_n\]for all $n \ge 1.$ If $a_7 = 120,$ then find $a_8.$
gpt
Let $a_1 = a$ and $a_2 = b.$ Then \begin{align*} a_3 &= a + b, \\ a_4 &= a + 2b, \\ a_5 &= 2a + 3b, \\ a_6 &= 3a + 5b, \\ a_7 &= 5a + 8b, \\ a_8 &= 8a + 13b. \end{align*}Hence, $5a + 8b = 120.$ Then $5a = 120 - 8b = 8(15 - b).$ Since 5 is relatively prime to 8, $a$ is divisible by 8. If $a = 8,$ then $b = 10.$ If $a = 16,$ then $b = 5,$ which does not work, because the sequence is increasing, so $b > a.$ Note that higher values of $b$ return lower values of $a,$ so the only possible value of $a$ is 8. Then $b = 10,$ so $a_8 = 8a + 13b = \boxed{194}.$

Find the minimum value of \[\sqrt{x^2 + (1 - x)^2} + \sqrt{(1 - x)^2 + (1 + x)^2}\]over all real numbers $x.$
gpt
In the coordinate plane, let $A = (0,1),$ $B = (1,-1),$ and $P = (x,x).$ Then \[AP = \sqrt{x^2 + (1 - x)^2}\]and \[BP = \sqrt{(x - 1)^2 + (x + 1)^2},\]so we want to minimize $AP + BP,$ subject to $P$ lying on the line $y = x.$ [asy] unitsize(2.5 cm); pair A, B, P; A = (0,1); B = (1,-1); P = (0.8,0.8); draw(A--P--B); draw((-0.2,-0.2)--(1.2,1.2),dashed); label("$y = x$", (1.2,1.2), NE); dot("$A$", A, NW); dot("$B$", B, SE); dot("$P$", P, N); [/asy] By the Triangle Inequality, $AP + BP \ge AB = \sqrt{5}.$ Equality occurs when $P$ is the intersection of the line $y = x$ and line $AB$ (which occurs when $x = \frac{1}{3}$), so the minimum value is $\boxed{\sqrt{5}}.$

Solve \[(x^3 + 3x^2 \sqrt{2} + 6x + 2 \sqrt{2}) + (x + \sqrt{2}) = 0.\]Enter all the solutions, separated by commas.
gpt
We can write the equation as \[(x + \sqrt{2})^3 + (x + \sqrt{2}) = 0.\]Then \[(x + \sqrt{2})[(x + \sqrt{2})^2 + 1] = 0,\]so $x = -\sqrt{2}$ or $(x + \sqrt{2})^2 = -1.$ For the latter equation, \[x + \sqrt{2} = \pm i,\]so $x = -\sqrt{2} \pm i.$ Thus, the solutions are $\boxed{-\sqrt{2}, -\sqrt{2} + i, -\sqrt{2} - i}.$

Let $m$ be a positive integer, and let $a_0, a_1, \dots , a_m$ be a sequence of real numbers such that $a_0 = 37$, $a_1 = 72$, $a_m=0$, and $$ a_{k+1} = a_{k-1} - \frac{3}{a_k} $$for $k = 1, 2, \dots, m-1$. Find $m$.
gpt
We rewrite the given recursion as \[a_ka_{k+1} = a_{k-1}a_k - 3.\]This implies that the numbers $a_0a_1, a_1a_2, a_2a_3, \ldots$ form an arithmetic sequence with common difference $-3$. We have $a_0a_1 = 37 \cdot 72$ and $a_{m-1}a_m = 0$ (because $a_m = 0$). Since those two terms are $m-1$ terms apart, we have \[a_{m-1}a_m - a_0a_1 = 0 - 37 \cdot 72 = -3 (m-1),\]so \[m = 37 \cdot 24 + 1 = \boxed{889}.\]

Let $x,$ $y,$ $z$ be positive real numbers such that $xyz = 8.$ Find the minimum value of $x + 2y + 4z.$

By AM-GM, \[x + 2y + 4z \ge 3 \sqrt[3]{(x)(2y)(4z)} = 3 \sqrt[3]{8xyz} = 3 \sqrt[3]{8 \cdot 8} = 12.\]Equality occurs when $x = 2y = 4z$ and $xyz = 8.$ We can solve to get $x = 4,$ $y = 2,$ and $z = 1,$ so the minimum value is $\boxed{12}.$

Let $a,$ $b,$ and $t$ be real numbers such that $a + b = t.$ Find, in terms of $t,$ the minimum value of $a^2 + b^2.$
gpt
By QM-AM, \[\sqrt{\frac{a^2 + b^2}{2}} \ge \frac{a + b}{2} = \frac{t}{2}.\]Then \[\frac{a^2 + b^2}{2} \ge \frac{t^2}{4},\]so $a^2 + b^2 \ge \frac{t^2}{2}.$ Equality occurs when $a = b = \frac{t}{2},$ so the minimum value of $a^2 + b^2$ is $\boxed{\frac{t^2}{2}}.$

Let $a$ and $b$ be real numbers. One of the roots of \[x^3 + ax^2 - x + b = 0\]is $1 - 2i.$ Enter the ordered pair $(a,b).$
gpt
Since the coefficients of the polynomial are all real, another is the conjugate of $1 - 2i,$ namely $1 + 2i.$ Let $r$ be the third root. Then the polynomial is \[(x - 1 + 2i)(x - 1 - 2i)(x - r) = x^3 - (r + 2)x^2 + (2r + 5)x - 5r.\]Then $2r + 5 = -1,$ so $r = -3.$ Then $a = -(r + 2) = 1$ and $b = -5r = 15,$ so $(a,b) = \boxed{(1,15)}.$

Solve \[\frac{x + 6}{x^2 + 2x + 7} \ge 0.\]Enter your answer using interval notation.
gpt
Since $x^2 + 2x + 7 = (x + 1)^2 + 6 > 0$ for all $x,$ the sign of $\frac{x + 6}{x^2 + 2x + 7}$ is the same as the sign of $x + 6.$ Thus, the solution is $x \in \boxed{[-6,\infty)}.$

The expression \[a^3 (b^2 - c^2) + b^3 (c^2 - a^2) + c^3 (a^2 - b^2)\]can be factored into the form $(a - b)(b - c)(c - a) p(a,b,c),$ for some polynomial $p(a,b,c).$ Find $p(a,b,c).$
gpt
First, we take out a factor of $a - b$: \begin{align*} a^3 (b^2 - c^2) + b^3 (c^2 - a^2) + c^3 (a^2 - b^2) &= a^3 b^2 - a^2 b^3 + b^3 c^2 - a^3 c^2 + c^3 (a + b)(a - b) \\ &= a^2 b^2 (a - b) + (b^3 - a^3) c^2 + c^3 (a + b)(a - b) \\ &= (a - b)[a^2 b^2 - (a^2 + ab + b^2) c^2 + c^3 (a + b)] \\ &= (a - b)(a^2 b^2 - a^2 c^2 - abc^2 - b^2 c^2 + ac^3 + bc^3). \end{align*}We can then take out a factor of $b - c$: \begin{align*} a^2 b^2 - a^2 c^2 - abc^2 - b^2 c^2 + ac^3 + bc^3 &= a^2 (b^2 - c^2) + ac^3 - abc^2 + bc^3 - b^2 c^2 \\ &= a^2 (b^2 - c^2) + ac^2 (c - b) + bc^2 (c - b) \\ &= a^2 (b - c)(b + c) + ac^2 (c - b) + bc^2 (c - b) \\ &= (b - c)[a^2 (b + c) - ac^2 - bc^2] \\ &= (b - c)(a^2 b + a^2 c - ac^2 - bc^2). \end{align*}Finally, we take out a factor of $c - a$: \begin{align*} a^2 b + a^2 c - ac^2 - bc^2 &= a^2 b - bc^2 + a^2 c - ac^2 \\ &= b (a^2 - c^2) + ac(a - c) \\ &= b (a - c)(a + c) + ac(a - c) \\ &= -(c - a)(ab + ac + bc). \end{align*}Thus, $p(a,b,c) = \boxed{-(ab + ac + bc)}.$

Find the distance between the foci of the hyperbola $x^2 - 6x - 4y^2 - 8y = 27.$
gpt
Completing the square in $x$ and $y,$ we get \[(x - 3)^2 - 4(y + 1)^2 = 32.\]Then \[\frac{(x - 3)^2}{32} - \frac{(y + 1)^2}{8} = 1.\]We see that $a^2 = 32$ and $b^2 = 8,$ so $c^2 = a^2 + b^2 = 40,$ and $c = 2 \sqrt{10}.$ Therefore, the distance between the foci is $2c = \boxed{4 \sqrt{10}}.$

Find all real values of $x$ that satisfy $\frac{x^2+x^3-2x^4}{x+x^2-2x^3} \ge -1.$ (Give your answer in interval notation.)
gpt
We notice that the numerator and denominator share common factors: $x^2+x^3-2x^4 = x^2(1+x-2x^2)$ and $x+x^2-2x^3=x(1+x-2x^2).$ Hence, whenever $x(1+x-2x^2) \neq 0,$ we can write \[\frac{x^2+x^3-2x^4}{x+x^2-2x^3} = \frac{x^2(1+x-2x^2)}{x(1+x-2x^2)} = x.\]It follows that the given inequality is satisfied if and only if $x \ge -1$ and $x(1+x-2x^2) \neq 0.$ The roots of $1+x-2x^2$ are $x=1$ and $x=-\frac12,$ so we cannot have $x=0,$ $x=1,$ or $x=-\tfrac12.$ Putting all this together, the solution set of the inequality consists of the interval $[-1, \infty)$ with three "holes": \[x \in \boxed{[-1, -\tfrac12) \cup (-\tfrac12, 0) \cup (0, 1) \cup (1, \infty)}.\]

Let $a,$ $b,$ $c$ be a three-term arithmetic series where all the terms are positive, such that $abc = 64.$ Find the smallest possible value of $b.$
gpt
By AM-GM, \[\frac{a + b + c}{3} \ge \sqrt[3]{abc} = \sqrt[3]{64} = 4.\]Since $a,$ $b,$ $c$ form an arithmetic series, $\frac{a + b + c}{3} = b,$ so $b \ge 4.$ Equality occurs when $a = b = c = 4,$ so the smallest possible value of $b$ is $\boxed{4}.$
