[User] What is the indefinite integral of $r e^{r}$ with respect to $r$?

[Assistant]
To find the indefinite integral of \( r e^{r} \) with respect to \( r \), we use integration by parts. The formula for integration by parts is given by:

\[
\int u \, dv = uv - \int v \, du
\]

We choose \( u = r \) and \( dv = e^{r} \, dr \). Then, we compute the differentials:

\[
du = dr \quad \text{and} \quad v = \int e^{r} \, dr = e^{r}
\]

Applying the integration by parts formula:

\[
\int r e^{r} \, dr = r e^{r} - \int e^{r} \, dr
\]

The remaining integral is straightforward:

\[
\int e^{r} \, dr = e^{r}
\]

Thus, we have:

\[
\int r e^{r} \, dr = r e^{r} - e^{r} + C
\]

We can factor out \( e^{r} \) from the expression:

\[
\int r e^{r} \, dr = e^{r} (r - 1) + C
\]

Therefore, the indefinite integral of \( r e^{r} \) with respect to \( r \) is:

\[
\boxed{e^{r} (r - 1) + C}
\]

[User] The volume of a given sphere is $36\pi$ cubic inches. How many square inches are in its surface area? Express your answer in terms of $\pi$.

[Assistant]
To find the surface area of a sphere given its volume, we start with the volume formula for a sphere:
\[
V = \frac{4}{3} \pi r^3
\]
We are given that the volume \( V \) is \( 36\pi \) cubic inches. So we can set up the equation:
\[
\frac{4}{3} \pi r^3 = 36\pi
\]
To isolate \( r^3 \), we first divide both sides of the equation by \( \pi \):
\[
\frac{4}{3} r^3 = 36
\]
Next, we multiply both sides by \( \frac{3}{4} \) to solve for \( r^3 \):
\[
r^3 = 36 \times \frac{3}{4} = 27
\]
Taking the cube root of both sides, we get:
\[
r = \sqrt[3]{27} = 3
\]
Now that we have the radius \( r = 3 \) inches, we can use the surface area formula for a sphere:
\[
A = 4 \pi r^2
\]
Substituting \( r = 3 \) into the formula, we get:
\[
A = 4 \pi (3)^2 = 4 \pi \times 9 = 36 \pi
\]
Thus, the surface area of the sphere is:
\[
\boxed{36\pi}
\]

[User]
Calculate the integral
$$\int\limits_{0}^{1}dx\int\limits_{x}^{1}dy\int\limits_{y}^{1}e^{z^3}dz$$

[Assistant]
To solve the given triple integral
\[
\int_{0}^{1} \int_{x}^{1} \int_{y}^{1} e^{z^3} \, dz \, dy \, dx,
\]
we will change the order of integration to simplify the computation.

### Step 1: Change the Order of Integration
The original region of integration is defined by \(0 \le x \le y \le z \le 1\). To change the order of integration to \(dx \, dy \, dz\), we need to express the same region in terms of \(z\), \(y\), and \(x\).

For a fixed \(z\):
- \(y\) ranges from \(0\) to \(z\).
- For each \(y\), \(x\) ranges from \(0\) to \(y\).

Thus, the integral becomes:
\[
\int_{0}^{1} \int_{0}^{z} \int_{0}^{y} e^{z^3} \, dx \, dy \, dz.
\]

### Step 2: Integrate with Respect to \(x\)
First, integrate the innermost integral with respect to \(x\):
\[
\int_{0}^{y} dx = y.
\]
So the integral now is:
\[
\int_{0}^{1} \int_{0}^{z} y e^{z^3} \, dy \, dz.
\]

### Step 3: Integrate with Respect to \(y\)
Next, integrate with respect to \(y\):
\[
\int_{0}^{z} y \, dy = \left[ \frac{1}{2} y^2 \right]_{0}^{z} = \frac{1}{2} z^2.
\]
So the integral now is:
\[
\int_{0}^{1} \frac{1}{2} z^2 e^{z^3} \, dz.
\]

### Step 4: Integrate with Respect to \(z\) Using Substitution
Finally, integrate with respect to \(z\). Use the substitution \(u = z^3\), so \(du = 3z^2 \, dz\), or \(z^2 \, dz = \frac{1}{3} du\).

When \(z = 0\), \(u = 0\); when \(z = 1\), \(u = 1\). The integral becomes:
\[
\frac{1}{2} \int_{0}^{1} z^2 e^{z^3} \, dz = \frac{1}{2} \cdot \frac{1}{3} \int_{0}^{1} e^u \, du = \frac{1}{6} \left[ e^u \right]_{0}^{1} = \frac{1}{6} (e - 1).
\]

### Final Answer
The value of the integral is:
\[
\boxed{\frac{e - 1}{6}}.

[User] How many different 7-digit numbers can be formed using each of the digits 2, 5, 2, 5, 2, 5, 0 exactly once?

[Assistant]
To determine the number of different 7-digit numbers that can be formed using the digits 2, 5, 2, 5, 2, 5, 0 exactly once, we need to account for the permutations of these digits while ensuring that the number does not start with 0.

1. **Calculate the total number of permutations of the digits 2, 5, 2, 5, 2, 5, 0:**

   The formula for permutations of a multiset is given by:
   \[
   \frac{n!}{n_1! \cdot n_2! \cdot \ldots \cdot n_k!}
   \]
   where \( n \) is the total number of items to arrange, and \( n_1, n_2, \ldots, n_k \) are the frequencies of the distinct items.

   Here, we have 7 digits in total, with three 2s, three 5s, and one 0. Thus, the total number of permutations is:
   \[
   \frac{7!}{3! \cdot 3! \cdot 1!} = \frac{5040}{6 \cdot 6 \cdot 1} = \frac{5040}{36} = 140
   \]

2. **Subtract the permutations where 0 is the first digit:**

   If 0 is fixed as the first digit, we need to permute the remaining six digits: 2, 5, 2, 5, 2, 5. The number of such permutations is:
   \[
   \frac{6!}{3! \cdot 3!} = \frac{720}{6 \cdot 6} = \frac{720}{36} = 20
   \]

3. **Calculate the number of valid 7-digit numbers:**

   Subtract the invalid permutations (where 0 is the first digit) from the total permutations:
   \[
   140 - 20 = 120
   \]

Therefore, the number of different 7-digit numbers that can be formed using the digits 2, 5, 2, 5, 2, 5, 0 exactly once is:
\[
\boxed{120}
\]

[User] Carbon-10 is a radioactive isotope with a half-life of 19.255 seconds. Suppose you start with 1 gram of carbon-10. Determine the function \( f(t) \) that represents the amount of carbon-10 left after \( t \) seconds. Use a formula of the form \( f(t) = A \cdot 2^{-t/T} \) with suitable values for \( A \) and \( T \).

[Assistant]
To determine the function \( f(t) \) that represents the amount of Carbon-10 left after \( t \) seconds, we use the exponential decay formula given by:

\[
f(t) = A \cdot 2^{-t/T}
\]

where:
- \( A \) is the initial amount of Carbon-10,
- \( T \) is the half-life of Carbon-10.

Given:
- The initial amount \( A = 1 \) gram,
- The half-life \( T = 19.255 \) seconds.

Substituting these values into the formula, we get:

\[
f(t) = 1 \cdot 2^{-t/19.255}
\]

Since the initial amount \( A = 1 \) can be omitted for simplicity, the function becomes:

\[
f(t) = 2^{-t/19.255}
\]

Thus, the function representing the amount of Carbon-10 remaining after \( t \) seconds is:

\[
\boxed{f(t) = 2^{-t/19.255}}
\]

[User] Caroline can make eleven lassis out of two mangoes. How many lassis can she make out of twelve mangoes?

[Assistant]
To determine how many lassis Caroline can make with 12 mangoes, given that she can make 11 lassis with 2 mangoes, we can set up a proportion.

First, we recognize that the relationship between the number of mangoes and the number of lassis is linear. We can express this relationship as a proportion:

\[
\frac{2 \text{ mangoes}}{11 \text{ lassis}} = \frac{12 \text{ mangoes}}{x \text{ lassis}}
\]

Here, \( x \) represents the number of lassis that can be made with 12 mangoes. To solve for \( x \), we cross-multiply:

\[
2x = 11 \times 12
\]

Calculating the right-hand side:

\[
11 \times 12 = 132
\]

Thus, the equation becomes:

\[
2x = 132
\]

Next, we solve for \( x \) by dividing both sides of the equation by 2:

\[
x = \frac{132}{2} = 66
\]

Therefore, Caroline can make \(\boxed{66}\) lassis with 12 mangoes.

[User] How many ways are there to color the vertices of a square with six colors if rotations are considered the same?

[Assistant]
To determine the number of distinct ways to color the vertices of a square using six colors, considering that rotations are considered the same, we can use Burnside's Lemma. Burnside's Lemma states that the number of distinct colorings under group actions (such as rotations) is equal to the average number of colorings fixed by each group element.

The square's rotational symmetry group, \(C_4\), has four elements: rotations by 0°, 90°, 180°, and 270°. We need to count the number of colorings fixed by each rotation and then average these counts.

1. **0° Rotation (Identity Rotation):**
   - Every coloring is fixed by this rotation.
   - Number of fixed colorings: \(6^4 = 1296\).

2. **90° Rotation:**
   - For a coloring to be fixed, all four vertices must be the same color.
   - Number of fixed colorings: \(6\).

3. **180° Rotation:**
   - This swaps vertices 1 and 3, and vertices 2 and 4.
   - Each pair of vertices must be the same color.
   - Number of fixed colorings: \(6 \times 6 = 36\).

4. **270° Rotation:**
   - Similar to the 90° rotation, all four vertices must be the same color.
   - Number of fixed colorings: \(6\).

Now, we apply Burnside's Lemma to find the average number of fixed colorings:

\[
\text{Number of distinct colorings} = \frac{1}{4} \left(1296 + 6 + 36 + 6\right) = \frac{1344}{4} = 336
\]

Thus, the number of distinct colorings of the vertices of a square with six colors, considering rotations as the same, is:

\[
\boxed{336}
\]

[User] Given two real numbers $1<p<q$ so that $\frac{1}{p} + \frac{1}{q} = 1$ and $pq = \frac{9}{2}$, what is $q$?

[Assistant]
Given two real numbers \(1 < p < q\) such that \(\frac{1}{p} + \frac{1}{q} = 1\) and \(pq = \frac{9}{2}\), we need to find the value of \(q\).

First, start with the equation \(\frac{1}{p} + \frac{1}{q} = 1\). Rewrite it as:
\[
\frac{p + q}{pq} = 1
\]
Given \(pq = \frac{9}{2}\), substitute this into the equation:
\[
\frac{p + q}{\frac{9}{2}} = 1 \implies p + q = \frac{9}{2}
\]

Now we have a system of equations:
1. \(p + q = \frac{9}{2}\)
2. \(pq = \frac{9}{2}\)

To solve this system, consider \(p\) and \(q\) as the roots of the quadratic equation \(t^2 - (p+q)t + pq = 0\). Substitute the known values:
\[
t^2 - \frac{9}{2}t + \frac{9}{2} = 0
\]

To solve this quadratic equation, use the quadratic formula \(t = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a}\) where \(a = 1\), \(b = -\frac{9}{2}\), and \(c = \frac{9}{2}\):
\[
t = \frac{\frac{9}{2} \pm \sqrt{\left(\frac{9}{2}\right)^2 - 4 \cdot 1 \cdot \frac{9}{2}}}{2 \cdot 1}
\]
Simplify inside the square root:
\[
t = \frac{\frac{9}{2} \pm \sqrt{\frac{81}{4} - 18}}{2} = \frac{\frac{9}{2} \pm \sqrt{\frac{81}{4} - \frac{72}{4}}}{2} = \frac{\frac{9}{2} \pm \sqrt{\frac{9}{4}}}{2} = \frac{\frac{9}{2} \pm \frac{3}{2}}{2}
\]

This gives two solutions:
\[
t = \frac{\frac{9}{2} + \frac{3}{2}}{2} = \frac{\frac{12}{2}}{2} = \frac{6}{2} = 3
\]
\[
t = \frac{\frac{9}{2} - \frac{3}{2}}{2} = \frac{\frac{6}{2}}{2} = \frac{3}{2}
\]

Thus, the roots are \(p = \frac{3}{2}\) and \(q = 3\). Since \(1 < p < q\), we have \(p = \frac{3}{2}\) and \(q = 3\).

Finally, verify the solutions:
1. \(\frac{1}{p} + \frac{1}{q} = \frac{2}{3} + \frac{1}{3} = 1\)
2. \(pq = \frac{3}{2} \cdot 3 = \frac{9}{2}\)

Both conditions are satisfied. Therefore, the value of \(q\) is:
\[
\boxed{3}
\]

[User] Solve the equation \( x! = x^3 - 5 \), where \( x! = 1 \cdot 2 \cdot 3 \cdot \ldots \cdot x \).

[Assistant]
To solve the equation \( x! = x^3 - 5 \), where \( x! = 1 \cdot 2 \cdot 3 \cdot \ldots \cdot x \), we need to consider the properties of the factorial function and the polynomial on the right-hand side.

1. **Domain of \( x \)**:
   - The factorial function \( x! \) is defined only for non-negative integers \( x \geq 0 \).
   - Therefore, \( x \) must be a non-negative integer.

2. **Checking small values of \( x \)**:
   - For \( x = 0 \):
     \[
     0! = 1 \quad \text{and} \quad 0^3 - 5 = -5 \quad \Rightarrow \quad 1 \neq -5
     \]
     No solution.

   - For \( x = 1 \):
     \[
     1! = 1 \quad \text{and} \quad 1^3 - 5 = 1 - 5 = -4 \quad \Rightarrow \quad 1 \neq -4
     \]
     No solution.

   - For \( x = 2 \):
     \[
     2! = 2 \quad \text{and} \quad 2^3 - 5 = 8 - 5 = 3 \quad \Rightarrow \quad 2 \neq 3
     \]
     No solution.

   - For \( x = 3 \):
     \[
     3! = 6 \quad \text{and} \quad 3^3 - 5 = 27 - 5 = 22 \quad \Rightarrow \quad 6 \neq 22
     \]
     No solution.

   - For \( x = 4 \):
     \[
     4! = 24 \quad \text{and} \quad 4^3 - 5 = 64 - 5 = 59 \quad \Rightarrow \quad 24 \neq 59
     \]
     No solution.

   - For \( x = 5 \):
     \[
     5! = 120 \quad \text{and} \quad 5^3 - 5 = 125 - 5 = 120 \quad \Rightarrow \quad 120 = 120
     \]
     This is a solution.

3. **Verifying for larger \( x \)**:
   - For \( x = 6 \):
     \[
     6! = 720 \quad \text{and} \quad 6^3 - 5 = 216 - 5 = 211 \quad \Rightarrow \quad 720 \neq 211
     \]
     No solution.

   - For \( x = 7 \):
     \[
     7! = 5040 \quad \text{and} \quad 7^3 - 5 = 343 - 5 = 338 \quad \Rightarrow \quad 5040 \neq 338
     \]
     No solution.

   - As \( x \) increases, \( x! \) grows much faster than \( x^3 \). Therefore, there will be no other solutions for \( x > 5 \).

4. **Conclusion**:
   - The only integer solution to the equation \( x! = x^3 - 5 \) is \( x = 5 \).

Thus, the solution is:
\[
\boxed{5}
\]

[User]
A city has a system of bus routes with the following properties:
- Each route has exactly 11 bus stops.
- It is possible to travel between any two bus stops without changing routes.
- Any two bus routes have exactly one bus stop in common.
What is the number of bus routes in the city?

[Assistant]
To solve the problem of determining the number of bus routes in the city, we need to analyze the given conditions and apply the appropriate combinatorial design theory. The conditions are:

1. Each route has exactly 11 bus stops.
2. It is possible to travel between any two bus stops without changing routes.
3. Any two bus routes have exactly one bus stop in common.

These conditions suggest a symmetric Balanced Incomplete Block Design (BIBD) with parameters \( (v, k, \lambda) = (v, 11, 1) \), where:
- \( v \) is the number of bus stops.
- \( k \) is the number of bus stops per route.
- \( \lambda \) is the number of routes that any two bus stops share.

In a symmetric BIBD, the number of blocks (routes) \( b \) equals the number of elements (stops) \( v \), and each element appears in \( r \) blocks, with each block containing \( k \) elements. The relations in a symmetric BIBD are given by:
1. \( \lambda(v - 1) = r(k - 1) \)
2. \( bk = vr \)

Given \( k = 11 \) and \( \lambda = 1 \):
- From the relation \( \lambda(v - 1) = r(k - 1) \), substituting the values gives:
  \[
  1(v - 1) = r(11 - 1) \implies v - 1 = 10r
  \]
- Since the design is symmetric, \( b = v \) and \( r = k \), leading to:
  \[
  r = 11
  \]
- Substituting \( r = 11 \) into the equation \( v - 1 = 10r \) gives:
  \[
  v - 1 = 10 \times 11 \implies v - 1 = 110 \implies v = 111
  \]

Thus, the number of bus routes (which equals the number of stops \( v \)) is \(\boxed{111}\).

[User] The area of a rectangular rug is $84 \text{ ft}^2$ and its perimeter is $38 \text{ ft}$. Find the length and width of the rug.

[Assistant]
To find the length and width of a rectangular rug with an area of \(84 \text{ ft}^2\) and a perimeter of \(38 \text{ ft}\), we start by setting up the equations based on the given conditions.

Let \( l \) be the length and \( w \) be the width of the rug. The equations are:

1. The area equation:
\[
l \cdot w = 84
\]

2. The perimeter equation:
\[
2(l + w) = 38 \implies l + w = 19
\]

First, solve the perimeter equation for \( l \):
\[
l = 19 - w
\]

Next, substitute \( l = 19 - w \) into the area equation:
\[
(19 - w) \cdot w = 84
\]

This simplifies to:
\[
19w - w^2 = 84
\]

Rearrange the equation to standard quadratic form:
\[
w^2 - 19w + 84 = 0
\]

Now, solve the quadratic equation by factoring. We look for two numbers that multiply to 84 and add up to 19. The numbers are 7 and 12. Thus, we can factor the quadratic equation as:
\[
(w - 7)(w - 12) = 0
\]

Setting each factor to zero gives the solutions:
\[
w - 7 = 0 \implies w = 7
\]
\[
w - 12 = 0 \implies w = 12
\]

For each value of \( w \), we find the corresponding \( l \):
- If \( w = 7 \), then \( l = 19 - 7 = 12 \).
- If \( w = 12 \), then \( l = 19 - 12 = 7 \).

Since length is typically the longer dimension, we identify the length and width as:
\[
l = 12 \text{ ft} \quad \text{and} \quad w = 7 \text{ ft}
\]

Thus, the dimensions of the rug are:
\[
\boxed{12 \text{ ft (length)}, 7 \text{ ft (width)}}
\]

[User] In a right triangle ABC with hypotenuse AB, side AC = 15. The altitude CH divides AB into segments AH and HB, with HB = 16. Find the area of triangle ABC.

[Assistant]
Given a right triangle \(ABC\) with hypotenuse \(AB\) and right angle at \(C\), we know \(AC = 15\) and the altitude \(CH\) divides \(AB\) into segments \(AH\) and \(HB\) such that \(HB = 16\). We need to find the area of triangle \(ABC\).

1. **Identify the segments using the geometric mean theorem:**
   The geometric mean theorem states that the segments created by the altitude to the hypotenuse are related to the legs of the triangle. Specifically:
   \[
   AH = \frac{AC^2}{AB} \quad \text{and} \quad HB = \frac{BC^2}{AB}
   \]
   Given \(HB = 16\), we have:
   \[
   \frac{BC^2}{AB} = 16 \implies BC^2 = 16 \cdot AB
   \]

2. **Apply the Pythagorean theorem:**
   Let \(AB = c\). Using the Pythagorean theorem:
   \[
   AC^2 + BC^2 = AB^2 \implies 15^2 + BC^2 = c^2
   \]
   Substituting \(BC^2 = 16c\):
   \[
   225 + 16c = c^2 \implies c^2 - 16c - 225 = 0
   \]

3. **Solve the quadratic equation:**
   Using the quadratic formula \(c = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a}\) with \(a = 1\), \(b = -16\), and \(c = -225\):
   \[
   c = \frac{16 \pm \sqrt{256 + 900}}{2} = \frac{16 \pm 34}{2}
   \]
   Taking the positive root:
   \[
   c = \frac{16 + 34}{2} = 25
   \]

4. **Find the length of \(BC\):**
   Substituting \(AB = 25\) back to find \(BC\):
   \[
   BC^2 = 16 \cdot 25 = 400 \implies BC = 20
   \]

5. **Calculate the area of triangle \(ABC\):**
   The area of triangle \(ABC\) can be calculated as:
   \[
   \text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \cdot AC \cdot BC = \frac{1}{2} \cdot 15 \cdot 20 = 150
   \]

Thus, the area of triangle \(ABC\) is \(\boxed{150}\).

[User] Given the demand function for boneless chicken breast \( q = -0.5p + 6 \), where \( p \) is the price per pound and \( q \) is the average number of pounds purchased per week per customer, determine the price at which the demand is unit elastic.

[Assistant]
To determine the price at which the demand for boneless chicken breast is unit elastic, we start with the given demand function:

\[ q = -0.5p + 6 \]

where \( q \) is the quantity demanded and \( p \) is the price per pound.

### Step 1: Calculate the Derivative
First, we compute the derivative of \( q \) with respect to \( p \):

\[ \frac{dq}{dp} = -0.5 \]

### Step 2: Write the Elasticity Formula
The price elasticity of demand \( E \) is given by:

\[ E = \left( \frac{dq}{dp} \right) \left( \frac{p}{q} \right) \]

Substitute the derivative \( \frac{dq}{dp} = -0.5 \) into the formula:

\[ E = -0.5 \cdot \frac{p}{q} \]

### Step 3: Set the Absolute Value of Elasticity to 1
For unit elasticity, the absolute value of \( E \) must be 1:

\[ \left| -0.5 \cdot \frac{p}{q} \right| = 1 \]

Since \( \left| -0.5 \cdot \frac{p}{q} \right| = 0.5 \cdot \left| \frac{p}{q} \right| \), we can write:

\[ 0.5 \cdot \left| \frac{p}{q} \right| = 1 \]

Solving for \( \left| \frac{p}{q} \right| \):

\[ \left| \frac{p}{q} \right| = 2 \]

### Step 4: Substitute the Demand Function
Substitute the demand function \( q = -0.5p + 6 \) into the equation:

\[ \left| \frac{p}{-0.5p + 6} \right| = 2 \]

This equation implies two cases:

1. \( \frac{p}{-0.5p + 6} = 2 \)
2. \( \frac{p}{-0.5p + 6} = -2 \)

### Step 5: Solve Each Case
#### Case 1: \( \frac{p}{-0.5p + 6} = 2 \)

\[ p = 2(-0.5p + 6) \]
\[ p = -p + 12 \]
\[ 2p = 12 \]
\[ p = 6 \]

#### Case 2: \( \frac{p}{-0.5p + 6} = -2 \)

\[ p = -2(-0.5p + 6) \]
\[ p = p - 12 \]
\[ 0 = -12 \]

This case results in a contradiction, so it has no solution.

### Step 6: Verify the Solution
At \( p = 6 \), the quantity demanded \( q \) is:

\[ q = -0.5(6) + 6 = -3 + 6 = 3 \]

Now, calculate the elasticity at \( p = 6 \):

\[ E = -0.5 \cdot \frac{6}{3} = -0.5 \cdot 2 = -1 \]

The absolute value of the elasticity is \( 1 \), confirming unit elasticity.

### Final Answer
The price at which the demand is unit elastic is:

\[
\boxed{6}

[User] How many ways can you choose a pair of cards from a set of 2 cards?

[Assistant]
To determine the number of ways to choose a pair of cards from a set of 2 cards, we use the combination formula \( C(n, k) = \frac{n!}{k!(n - k)!} \), where \( n \) is the total number of items, and \( k \) is the number of items to choose.

Here, \( n = 2 \) and \( k = 2 \). Plugging these values into the formula, we get:

\[
C(2, 2) = \frac{2!}{2!(2 - 2)!} = \frac{2!}{2! \cdot 0!}
\]

We know that \( 2! = 2 \times 1 = 2 \) and \( 0! = 1 \). Therefore, the expression simplifies to:

\[
C(2, 2) = \frac{2}{2 \times 1} = \frac{2}{2} = 1
\]

Thus, there is only 1 way to choose 2 cards out of 2.

Alternatively, we can reason intuitively: with only two cards, say Card A and Card B, the only possible pair is both Card A and Card B together. Hence, there is only one possible combination.

Therefore, the number of ways to choose a pair of cards from a set of 2 cards is \(\boxed{1}\).

[User] Simplify $(x+15)+(100x+15)$.

[Assistant]
To simplify the expression \((x + 15) + (100x + 15)\), we start by removing the parentheses since there are no negative signs or other operations that would change the terms inside:

\[
(x + 15) + (100x + 15) = x + 15 + 100x + 15
\]

Next, we combine the like terms. The terms involving \(x\) are \(x\) and \(100x\). Adding these together, we get:

\[
x + 100x = 101x
\]

The constant terms are \(15\) and \(15\). Adding these together, we get:

\[
15 + 15 = 30
\]

Putting it all together, the simplified expression is:

\[
101x + 30
\]

Thus, the final answer is:

\[
\boxed{101x + 30}
\]

[User] Determine the convergence of the sequence defined by \( x(1) = 1 \) and \( x(n+1) = x(n)^2 + x(n) + 1 \).

[Assistant]
To determine the convergence of the sequence defined by \( x(1) = 1 \) and \( x(n+1) = x(n)^2 + x(n) + 1 \), we will analyze the behavior of the sequence step-by-step.

### Step 1: Check for a Possible Limit
Assume the sequence converges to a limit \( L \). Then, taking the limit on both sides of the recursive formula, we get:
\[
L = L^2 + L + 1
\]
Rearranging this equation, we obtain:
\[
L^2 + 1 = 0
\]
This simplifies to:
\[
L^2 = -1
\]
Since \( L^2 = -1 \) has no real solutions, there is no real number \( L \) that satisfies this equation. Therefore, the sequence cannot converge to a finite limit.

### Step 2: Show the Sequence is Strictly Increasing
To show that the sequence is strictly increasing, we need to prove that \( x(n+1) > x(n) \) for all \( n \).

**Base Case:**
For \( n = 1 \):
\[
x(2) = x(1)^2 + x(1) + 1 = 1^2 + 1 + 1 = 3 > 1 = x(1)
\]
So, \( x(2) > x(1) \).

**Inductive Step:**
Assume \( x(k+1) > x(k) \) for some \( k \geq 1 \). We need to show that \( x(k+2) > x(k+1) \).

Given \( x(k+1) > x(k) \), we have:
\[
x(k+2) = x(k+1)^2 + x(k+1) + 1
\]
Since \( x(k+1) > x(k) \) and the function \( f(x) = x^2 + x + 1 \) is strictly increasing for \( x > -0.5 \) (as \( f'(x) = 2x + 1 > 0 \) for \( x > -0.5 \)), it follows that:
\[
x(k+2) = x(k+1)^2 + x(k+1) + 1 > x(k)^2 + x(k) + 1 = x(k+1)
\]
Thus, by induction, the sequence is strictly increasing.

### Step 3: Show the Sequence is Unbounded
To show that the sequence is unbounded, observe that for \( x(n) \geq 1 \):
\[
x(n+1) = x(n)^2 + x(n) + 1 \geq x(n)^2
\]
Since the sequence is strictly increasing and starts at \( x(1) = 1 \), each term is at least the square of the previous term after the first term. This implies super-exponential growth.

For example:
\[
x(1) = 1
\]
\[
x(2) = 3 \geq 1^2 = 1
\]
\[
x(3) = 13 \geq 3^2 = 9
\]
\[
x(4) = 183 \geq 13^2 = 169
\]
and so on.

Since each term grows at least as fast as the square of the previous term, the sequence must diverge to infinity.

### Conclusion
Combining these observations, the sequence is strictly increasing and each term grows at least as fast as the square of the previous term, leading to super-exponential growth. Therefore, the sequence diverges to infinity.

\[
\boxed{\text{The sequence diverges to infinity.}}

[User] What is the degree measure of the smaller angle formed by the hands of a clock at 10 o'clock?

[Assistant]
To determine the degree measure of the smaller angle formed by the hands of a clock at 10 o'clock, we can follow these steps:

1. **Determine the degrees per hour:**
   Since a clock is a circle with 360 degrees and there are 12 hours, each hour mark is:
   \[
   \frac{360 \text{ degrees}}{12 \text{ hours}} = 30 \text{ degrees per hour}
   \]

2. **Calculate the angle between the hour and minute hands:**
   At 10 o'clock, the hour hand is on the 10, and the minute hand is on the 12. The number of hours between the 10 and the 12 is 2 hours. Therefore, the angle between the hour hand at 10 and the minute hand at 12 is:
   \[
   2 \text{ hours} \times 30 \text{ degrees per hour} = 60 \text{ degrees}
   \]

3. **Verify using the angle formula:**
   The formula for the angle between the hour and minute hands is given by:
   \[
   |30H - 5.5M|
   \]
   where \(H\) is the hour and \(M\) is the minutes. At 10 o'clock, \(H = 10\) and \(M = 0\). Substituting these values into the formula:
   \[
   |30 \times 10 - 5.5 \times 0| = |300 - 0| = 300 \text{ degrees}
   \]
   Since we need the smaller angle, we take the minimum between 300 degrees and \(360 - 300 = 60\) degrees. Thus, the smaller angle is:
   \[
   \min(300, 60) = 60 \text{ degrees}
   \]

Therefore, the smaller angle formed by the hands of a clock at 10 o'clock is:
\[
\boxed{60}
\]

Determine the geometric locus represented by the equation

\]
without developing the determinants.

[Assistant]
To determine the geometric locus represented by the equation

\[
\begin{vmatrix} x & y & 1\\ x_{1} & y_{1} & 1\\ x_{2} & y_{2} & 1 \end{vmatrix} \cdot \begin{vmatrix} x & y & 1\\ x_{3} & y_{3} & 1\\ x_{4} & y_{4} & 1 \end{vmatrix} = 0,
\]

we start by analyzing each determinant separately. The determinant

\[
\begin{vmatrix} x & y & 1\\ x_{1} & y_{1} & 1\\ x_{2} & y_{2} & 1 \end{vmatrix}
\]

represents the equation of the line passing through the points \((x_1, y_1)\) and \((x_2, y_2)\). This is because the determinant being zero indicates that the point \((x, y)\) lies on the line defined by \((x_1, y_1)\) and \((x_2, y_2)\).

Similarly, the determinant

\[
\begin{vmatrix} x & y & 1\\ x_{3} & y_{3} & 1\\ x_{4} & y_{4} & 1 \end{vmatrix}
\]

represents the equation of the line passing through the points \((x_3, y_3)\) and \((x_4, y_4)\). This determinant being zero indicates that the point \((x, y)\) lies on the line defined by \((x_3, y_3)\) and \((x_4, y_4)\).

The given equation states that the product of these two determinants is zero. Therefore, the point \((x, y)\) must satisfy at least one of the following conditions:
1. \(\begin{vmatrix} x & y & 1\\ x_{1} & y_{1} & 1\\ x_{2} & y_{2} & 1 \end{vmatrix} = 0\)
2. \(\begin{vmatrix} x & y & 1\\ x_{3} & y_{3} & 1\\ x_{4} & y_{4} & 1 \end{vmatrix} = 0\)

This means that the point \((x, y)\) lies on either the line passing through \((x_1, y_1)\) and \((x_2, y_2)\) or the line passing through \((x_3, y_3)\) and \((x_4, y_4)\).

Thus, the geometric locus represented by the equation is the union of these two lines.

\[
\boxed{\text{The union of the lines through } (x_1, y_1) \text{ and } (x_2, y_2) \text{ and through } (x_3, y_3) \text{ and } (x_4, y_4)}

[User] A rectangular floor that is $10$ feet wide and $17$ feet long is tiled with $170$ one-foot square tiles. A bug walks from one corner to the opposite corner in a straight line. Including the first and the last tile, how many tiles does the bug visit?

[Assistant]
To determine how many 1-foot square tiles a bug visits when traveling diagonally across a 10 feet by 17 feet rectangular floor, we use the formula for the number of tiles a diagonal line crosses in an \( m \times n \) grid, which is given by:

\[
m + n - \gcd(m, n)
\]

where \( \gcd(m, n) \) is the greatest common divisor of \( m \) and \( n \).

1. **Identify the dimensions**: The floor dimensions are 10 feet by 17 feet, so \( m = 10 \) and \( n = 17 \).

2. **Calculate the greatest common divisor**: The greatest common divisor of 10 and 17 is 1, since 10 and 17 are coprime (they have no common factors other than 1).

3. **Apply the formula**: Substitute \( m = 10 \), \( n = 17 \), and \( \gcd(10, 17) = 1 \) into the formula:

\[
10 + 17 - 1 = 26
\]

Thus, the number of tiles the bug visits is \(\boxed{26}\).

[User] Monica tosses a fair 6-sided die.  If the roll is a prime number, then she wins that amount of dollars (so that, for example, if she rolls 3, then she wins 3 dollars).  If the roll is composite, she wins nothing. Otherwise, she loses 3 dollars. What is the expected value of her winnings on one die toss? Express your answer as a dollar value to the nearest cent.

[Assistant]
To find the expected value of Monica's winnings when she tosses a fair 6-sided die, we need to consider the outcomes and their associated probabilities and winnings.

The possible outcomes on a 6-sided die are the numbers 1 through 6. We categorize these outcomes as follows:
- Prime numbers: 2, 3, 5. If she rolls a prime number, she wins that amount in dollars.
- Composite numbers: 4, 6. If she rolls a composite number, she wins nothing.
- The number 1. If she rolls a 1, she loses 3 dollars.

The probability of each outcome is \(\frac{1}{6}\).

Now, we calculate the expected value \(E\) by multiplying each outcome's value by its probability and summing the results:

\[
E = \left(\frac{1}{6} \times (-3)\right) + \left(\frac{1}{6} \times 2\right) + \left(\frac{1}{6} \times 3\right) + \left(\frac{1}{6} \times 0\right) + \left(\frac{1}{6} \times 5\right) + \left(\frac{1}{6} \times 0\right)
\]

Simplifying each term:
\[
E = \frac{-3}{6} + \frac{2}{6} + \frac{3}{6} + \frac{0}{6} + \frac{5}{6} + \frac{0}{6}
\]

Combining the fractions:
\[
E = \frac{-3 + 2 + 3 + 0 + 5 + 0}{6} = \frac{7}{6}
\]

Converting \(\frac{7}{6}\) to a decimal:
\[
\frac{7}{6} \approx 1.1667
\]

Rounding to the nearest cent, the expected value is:
\[
\boxed{1.17}

[User] How many total days were there in the years 2001 through 2004?

[Assistant]
To determine the total number of days from the years 2001 through 2004, we need to identify which of these years are leap years and which are regular years.

A regular year has 365 days, while a leap year has 366 days. Leap years occur every 4 years, but there are exceptions: a year that is divisible by 100 is not a leap year unless it is also divisible by 400.

Let's check each year:

- 2001: Not divisible by 4 (2001 ÷ 4 = 500.25), so it is a regular year with 365 days.
- 2002: Not divisible by 4 (2002 ÷ 4 = 500.5), so it is a regular year with 365 days.
- 2003: Not divisible by 4 (2003 ÷ 4 = 500.75), so it is a regular year with 365 days.
- 2004: Divisible by 4 (2004 ÷ 4 = 501), so it is a leap year with 366 days.

Now, we sum the days from each year:

\[
365 + 365 + 365 + 366
\]

First, calculate the total for the three regular years:

\[
365 \times 3 = 1095
\]

Next, add the days from the leap year:

\[
1095 + 366 = 1461
\]

Therefore, the total number of days from the years 2001 through 2004 is:

\[
\boxed{1461}
\]

[User] A positive integer \( n \) not exceeding 100 is chosen such that if \( n \leq 50 \), the probability of choosing \( n \) is \( p \), and if \( n > 50 \), the probability of choosing \( n \) is \( 3p \). What is the probability that a perfect square is chosen?

[Assistant]
To find the probability that a perfect square is chosen from the set of positive integers \( n \) not exceeding 100, we start by defining the probability distribution. The probability of choosing a number \( n \) is \( p \) if \( n \leq 50 \) and \( 3p \) if \( n > 50 \). Since the total probability must sum to 1, we can set up the following equation:

\[
50p + 50 \cdot 3p = 1
\]

Simplifying, we get:

\[
50p + 150p = 200p = 1 \implies p = \frac{1}{200}
\]

Thus, the probability of choosing a number \( n \leq 50 \) is \( \frac{1}{200} \), and the probability of choosing a number \( n > 50 \) is \( \frac{3}{200} \).

Next, we identify the perfect squares between 1 and 100. These are \( 1^2, 2^2, 3^2, \ldots, 10^2 \), which are 1, 4, 9, 16, 25, 36, 49, 64, 81, and 100. We split these into two groups: those less than or equal to 50 and those greater than 50.

The perfect squares less than or equal to 50 are: 1, 4, 9, 16, 25, 36, 49. There are 7 such numbers. The perfect squares greater than 50 are: 64, 81, 100. There are 3 such numbers.

The probability of choosing a perfect square is the sum of the probabilities of choosing each of these perfect squares. For the perfect squares \( \leq 50 \), the probability is \( \frac{1}{200} \) each, and for the perfect squares \( > 50 \), the probability is \( \frac{3}{200} \) each. Therefore, the total probability is:

\[
7 \cdot \frac{1}{200} + 3 \cdot \frac{3}{200} = \frac{7}{200} + \frac{9}{200} = \frac{16}{200} = \frac{2}{25}
\]

Thus, the probability that a perfect square is chosen is \(\boxed{\frac{2}{25}}\).

[User] From the first 15 natural numbers, 5 are selected so that no two of them are consecutive. If the number of such selections is 33 × k, find k.

[Assistant]
To solve the problem of selecting 5 numbers from the first 15 natural numbers such that no two are consecutive, we use the combinatorial formula for non-consecutive selections. The formula for choosing \( k \) non-consecutive elements from \( n \) elements is given by:

\[
\binom{n - k + 1}{k}
\]

Here, \( n = 15 \) and \( k = 5 \). Applying the formula, we get:

\[
\binom{15 - 5 + 1}{5} = \binom{11}{5}
\]

Next, we calculate \( \binom{11}{5} \):

\[
\binom{11}{5} = \frac{11!}{5!(11-5)!} = \frac{11!}{5! \cdot 6!} = \frac{11 \times 10 \times 9 \times 8 \times 7}{5 \times 4 \times 3 \times 2 \times 1} = 462
\]

According to the problem, the number of such selections is \( 33 \times k \). Therefore, we have:

\[
462 = 33 \times k
\]

Solving for \( k \):

\[
k = \frac{462}{33} = 14
\]

Thus, the value of \( k \) is \(\boxed{14}\).

[User] What is the sum of $\left(\dfrac{1}{3}\right) + \left(\dfrac{1}{3}\right)^2 + \left(\dfrac{1}{3}\right)^3 + \left(\dfrac{1}{3}\right)^4$?

[Assistant]
To find the sum of the series \(\left(\dfrac{1}{3}\right) + \left(\dfrac{1}{3}\right)^2 + \left(\dfrac{1}{3}\right)^3 + \left(\dfrac{1}{3}\right)^4\), we can use the formula for the sum of the first \(n\) terms of a geometric series. The formula is given by:

\[ S_n = a \frac{1 - r^n}{1 - r} \]

where \(a\) is the first term, \(r\) is the common ratio, and \(n\) is the number of terms.

For the given series:
- The first term \(a = \dfrac{1}{3}\)
- The common ratio \(r = \dfrac{1}{3}\)
- The number of terms \(n = 4\)

Substituting these values into the formula, we get:

\[ S_4 = \dfrac{1}{3} \frac{1 - \left(\dfrac{1}{3}\right)^4}{1 - \dfrac{1}{3}} \]

First, calculate \(\left(\dfrac{1}{3}\right)^4\):

\[ \left(\dfrac{1}{3}\right)^4 = \dfrac{1}{81} \]

Next, substitute \(\dfrac{1}{81}\) back into the formula:

\[ S_4 = \dfrac{1}{3} \frac{1 - \dfrac{1}{81}}{1 - \dfrac{1}{3}} \]

Simplify the numerator \(1 - \dfrac{1}{81}\):

\[ 1 - \dfrac{1}{81} = \dfrac{81}{81} - \dfrac{1}{81} = \dfrac{80}{81} \]

Simplify the denominator \(1 - \dfrac{1}{3}\):

\[ 1 - \dfrac{1}{3} = \dfrac{3}{3} - \dfrac{1}{3} = \dfrac{2}{3} \]

Now, substitute these simplified values back into the formula:

\[ S_4 = \dfrac{1}{3} \frac{\dfrac{80}{81}}{\dfrac{2}{3}} \]

Dividing by a fraction is the same as multiplying by its reciprocal:

\[ S_4 = \dfrac{1}{3} \cdot \dfrac{80}{81} \cdot \dfrac{3}{2} \]

Simplify the expression:

\[ S_4 = \dfrac{1 \cdot 80 \cdot 3}{3 \cdot 81 \cdot 2} = \dfrac{240}{486} \]

Reduce the fraction by dividing the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 6:

\[ \dfrac{240 \div 6}{486 \div 6} = \dfrac{40}{81} \]

Thus, the sum of the series is:

\[
\boxed{\dfrac{40}{81}}
\]

[User] Evaluate the integral \(\int_{0}^{\tfrac{\pi}{2}}\sin ^5x\mathrm{d}x\).

[Assistant]
To evaluate the integral \(\int_{0}^{\tfrac{\pi}{2}} \sin^5 x \, \mathrm{d}x\), we can use the substitution method by factoring out one sine term and using the identity \(\sin^2 x = 1 - \cos^2 x\).

1. **Rewrite the integrand:**
   \[
   \sin^5 x = \sin^4 x \cdot \sin x = (1 - \cos^2 x)^2 \cdot \sin x
   \]

2. **Substitute \(u = \cos x\):**
   \[
   \mathrm{d}u = -\sin x \, \mathrm{d}x \quad \Rightarrow \quad \sin x \, \mathrm{d}x = -\mathrm{d}u
   \]
   When \(x = 0\), \(u = \cos 0 = 1\).
   When \(x = \frac{\pi}{2}\), \(u = \cos \frac{\pi}{2} = 0\).

3. **Transform the integral:**
   \[
   \int_{0}^{\tfrac{\pi}{2}} \sin^5 x \, \mathrm{d}x = \int_{1}^{0} (1 - u^2)^2 (-\mathrm{d}u) = \int_{0}^{1} (1 - u^2)^2 \, \mathrm{d}u
   \]

4. **Expand the integrand:**
   \[
   (1 - u^2)^2 = 1 - 2u^2 + u^4
   \]
   Thus, the integral becomes:
   \[
   \int_{0}^{1} (1 - 2u^2 + u^4) \, \mathrm{d}u
   \]

5. **Integrate term by term:**
   \[
   \int_{0}^{1} 1 \, \mathrm{d}u - 2 \int_{0}^{1} u^2 \, \mathrm{d}u + \int_{0}^{1} u^4 \, \mathrm{d}u
   \]

6. **Evaluate each integral:**
   \[
   \int_{0}^{1} 1 \, \mathrm{d}u = \left[ u \right]_{0}^{1} = 1
   \]
   \[
   -2 \int_{0}^{1} u^2 \, \mathrm{d}u = -2 \left[ \frac{u^3}{3} \right]_{0}^{1} = -2 \left( \frac{1}{3} \right) = -\frac{2}{3}
   \]
   \[
   \int_{0}^{1} u^4 \, \mathrm{d}u = \left[ \frac{u^5}{5} \right]_{0}^{1} = \frac{1}{5}
   \]

7. **Combine the results:**
   \[
   1 - \frac{2}{3} + \frac{1}{5}
   \]

8. **Find a common denominator and simplify:**
   \[
   1 = \frac{15}{15}, \quad \frac{2}{3} = \frac{10}{15}, \quad \frac{1}{5} = \frac{3}{15}
   \]
   \[
   \frac{15}{15} - \frac{10}{15} + \frac{3}{15} = \frac{15 - 10 + 3}{15} = \frac{8}{15}
   \]

Therefore, the value of the integral is:

[User] Determine if the function \( g: \mathbb{N} \to \mathbb{N} \) defined by \( g(x) = \left\lfloor \frac{3x+1}{3} \right\rfloor \) is bijective and find its inverse if it exists.

[Assistant]
To determine if the function \( g: \mathbb{N} \to \mathbb{N} \) defined by \( g(x) = \left\lfloor \frac{3x + 1}{3} \right\rfloor \) is bijective and to find its inverse if it exists, we proceed as follows:

1. **Simplify the function \( g(x) \):**
   \[
   g(x) = \left\lfloor \frac{3x + 1}{3} \right\rfloor
   \]
   We can rewrite the expression inside the floor function:
   \[
   \frac{3x + 1}{3} = x + \frac{1}{3}
   \]
   Since \( x \) is a natural number, \( x + \frac{1}{3} \) lies between \( x \) and \( x + 1 \). Therefore, the floor of \( x + \frac{1}{3} \) is \( x \):
   \[
   \left\lfloor x + \frac{1}{3} \right\rfloor = x
   \]
   Hence,
   \[
   g(x) = x
   \]

2. **Verify that \( g(x) \) is the identity function:**
   The function \( g(x) = x \) is the identity function on \( \mathbb{N} \).

3. **Check injectivity (one-to-one property):**
   A function \( f \) is injective if \( f(a) = f(b) \) implies \( a = b \). For the identity function:
   \[
   g(a) = g(b) \implies a = b
   \]
   Therefore, \( g \) is injective.

4. **Check surjectivity (onto property):**
   A function \( f \) is surjective if for every \( y \in \mathbb{N} \), there exists an \( x \in \mathbb{N} \) such that \( f(x) = y \). For the identity function:
   \[
   g(x) = y \implies x = y
   \]
   Since \( x = y \) is always in \( \mathbb{N} \), \( g \) is surjective.

5. **Conclusion on bijectivity:**
   Since \( g \) is both injective and surjective, it is bijective.

6. **Find the inverse function:**
   The inverse of the identity function is the identity function itself. Therefore,
   \[
   g^{-1}(x) = x
   \]

Thus, the function \( g \) is bijective, and its inverse is \( g^{-1}(x) = x \).

\[
\boxed{g^{-1}(x) = x}
\]

[User] What is the slope of the family of lines tangent to the curve \( y = x^2 \)?

To find the slope of the family of lines tangent to the curve \( y = x^2 \), we start by determining the derivative of the function \( y = x^2 \). The derivative \( \frac{dy}{dx} \) gives the slope of the tangent line at any point \( x \).

Using the power rule, the derivative of \( y = x^2 \) is:
\[
\frac{dy}{dx} = 2x
\]

This means that at any point \( (x, y) \) on the curve \( y = x^2 \), the slope of the tangent line is \( 2x \).

Since \( x \) can be any real number, the expression \( 2x \) can take any real value. Therefore, the set of all possible slopes of the tangent lines to the curve \( y = x^2 \) is the set of all real numbers, denoted by \( \mathbb{R} \).

Thus, the slope of the family of tangent lines to the curve \( y = x^2 \) is:
\[
\boxed{\mathbb{R}}

[User] In a classroom with five chairs labelled 1 to 5 and five students labelled 1 to 5, what is the probability that exactly two students sit in a chair that corresponds with their number, and the other three sit in different numbers?

[Assistant]
To find the probability that exactly two students sit in chairs corresponding to their numbers, while the other three sit in different chairs, we proceed as follows:

1. **Total Number of Arrangements**:
   The total number of ways to arrange 5 students in 5 chairs is given by \(5!\):
   \[
   5! = 120
   \]

2. **Choosing the Correctly Seated Students**:
   We need to choose 2 out of the 5 students to sit in their correct chairs. The number of ways to choose 2 students out of 5 is given by the binomial coefficient \(\binom{5}{2}\):
   \[
   \binom{5}{2} = \frac{5!}{2!(5-2)!} = \frac{5 \times 4}{2 \times 1} = 10
   \]

3. **Derangement of the Remaining Students**:
   The remaining 3 students must sit in chairs such that none of them is in their correct chair. The number of derangements (permutations where no element appears in its original position) of 3 elements is denoted by \(!3\). The formula for the derangement of \(n\) elements is:
   \[
   !n = n! \sum_{i=0}^{n} \frac{(-1)^i}{i!}
   \]
   For \(n = 3\):
   \[
   !3 = 3! \left(1 - \frac{1}{1!} + \frac{1}{2!} - \frac{1}{3!}\right) = 6 \left(1 - 1 + \frac{1}{2} - \frac{1}{6}\right) = 6 \left(\frac{1}{2} - \frac{1}{6}\right) = 6 \left(\frac{3}{6} - \frac{1}{6}\right) = 6 \left(\frac{2}{6}\right) = 2
   \]

4. **Number of Favorable Outcomes**:
   The number of favorable outcomes is the product of the number of ways to choose the 2 correctly seated students and the number of derangements of the remaining 3 students:
   \[
   \text{Number of favorable outcomes} = \binom{5}{2} \times !3 = 10 \times 2 = 20
   \]

5. **Probability Calculation**:
   The probability is the ratio of the number of favorable outcomes to the total number of possible outcomes:
   \[
   \text{Probability} = \frac{\text{Number of favorable outcomes}}{\text{Total number of arrangements}} = \frac{20}{120} = \frac{1}{6}
   \]

Thus, the probability that exactly two students sit in chairs corresponding to their numbers, while the other three sit in different chairs is:
\[
\boxed{\frac{1}{6}}
\]

[User] A particular novel contains $40,\!000$ words. If the author completed the novel in $80$ hours, on average how many words per hour did she write?

[Assistant]
To determine the average number of words per hour the author wrote, we need to divide the total number of words by the total number of hours spent writing.

The total number of words in the novel is 40,000, and the total time spent writing is 80 hours. The average rate of writing is given by:

\[
\text{Average words per hour} = \frac{\text{Total words}}{\text{Total hours}} = \frac{40,000 \text{ words}}{80 \text{ hours}}
\]

To simplify the division, we can break it down step-by-step:

1. Divide 40,000 by 10 to get 4,000.
2. Then, divide 4,000 by 8 to get 500.

Thus,

\[
\frac{40,000}{80} = \frac{40,000 \div 10}{80 \div 10} = \frac{4,000}{8} = 500
\]

Therefore, the average number of words per hour the author wrote is:

\[
\boxed{500}
\]

[User] Andi, Beni, Coki, Doni, and Edo are playing a game where each player is either a mousedeer (who always tells the truth) or a wolf (who always lies). Andi says that Beni is a mousedeer. Coki says Doni is a wolf, while Edo says Andi is not a wolf. Beni says Coki is not a mousedeer, and Doni says that Edo and Andi are different animals. Determine the number of wolves in the game.

[Assistant]
To determine the number of wolves in the game, we need to analyze the statements made by each player and determine their consistency based on whether they are mousedeers (truth-tellers) or wolves (liars).

Here are the statements:
1. Andi says Beni is a mousedeer.
2. Coki says Doni is a wolf.
3. Edo says Andi is not a wolf.
4. Beni says Coki is not a mousedeer.
5. Doni says that Edo and Andi are different animals.

Let's analyze these statements step-by-step to determine the type of each player.

1. **Assume Andi is a wolf:**
   - Andi's statement "Beni is a mousedeer" is false, so Beni must be a wolf.
   - Beni's statement "Coki is not a mousedeer" is false, so Coki must be a mousedeer.
   - Coki's statement "Doni is a wolf" is true, so Doni is a wolf.
   - Doni's statement "Edo and Andi are different animals" is false, so Edo and Andi must be the same type. Since Andi is a wolf, Edo must also be a wolf.
   - Edo's statement "Andi is not a wolf" is false, which is consistent because Andi is indeed a wolf.

2. **Verify the consistency:**
   - Andi (wolf): Lies about Beni being a mousedeer. Beni is a wolf.
   - Beni (wolf): Lies about Coki not being a mousedeer. Coki is a mousedeer.
   - Coki (mousedeer): Truthfully says Doni is a wolf.
   - Doni (wolf): Lies about Edo and Andi being different. Edo and Andi are the same (both wolves).
   - Edo (wolf): Lies about Andi not being a wolf. Andi is a wolf.

All statements are consistent with the assumption that Andi is a wolf. Therefore, the players are:
- Andi: Wolf
- Beni: Wolf
- Coki: Mousedeer
- Doni: Wolf
- Edo: Wolf

Thus, the number of wolves in the game is \(\boxed{4}\).
