question:(given to Ambroise Marigot and Christopher Wells). Disks of diameter strictly less than 0.02 are arranged in a square so that two interior points each in one of these disks are never 0.02 apart. Show that the area covered by the union of these disks is strictly less than 0.35.

answer:. The statement implies that if we translate the set of these disks by 0.02, the new set of disks is disjoint from the first. We can notably translate this set by two vectors overrightarrow{A B} and overrightarrow{A C} forming an angle of 60^{circ}: the first set of disks will be disjoint from the second and the third. But the second and the third will also be disjoint from each other, as we can go from one to the other by a third translation of 0.02 of vector overrightarrow{B C}, with A B C being an equilateral triangle. The three sets of disks thus obtained are not all within the initial square, but in a slightly larger square, with a side of 1.02. Since these sets are pairwise disjoint, the sum of their areas (which is three times each of the areas) is less than or equal to the area of the large square, which is 1.02^2 < 1.05. It follows that the area of the union of the initial disks is strictly less than frac{1.05}{3}=0.35.

question:One, (Full marks 14 points) Solve the equation1+frac{1}{1+frac{1}{1+frac{1}{x}}}=left|frac{3 x+2}{2 x+1}right|

answer:First, find the allowed values of x.left{begin{array} { l } { x neq 0 , } { 1 + frac { 1 } { x } neq 0 , } { 1 + frac { 1 } { 1 + frac { 1 } { x } } neq 0 }end{array} Rightarrow left{begin{array}{l}x neq 0, x neq-1, x neq-frac{1}{2} .end{array}right.right.From the left =frac{3 x+2}{2 x+1}, from the original equation we know frac{3 x+2}{2 x+1} geqslant 0.Solving this, we get x leqslant-frac{2}{3} or x>-frac{1}{2}.Combining (1) and (2), the solution to the original equation isx leqslant-frac{2}{3} and x neq-1 or x>-frac{1}{2} and x neq 0.

question:Let f be a function defined on {(i,j): i,j in mathbb{N}} satisfying(i) f(i,i+1)=frac{1}{3} for all i(ii) f(i,j)=f(i,k)+f(k,j)-2f(i,k)f(k,j) for all k such that i <k<j.Find the value of f(1,100).

answer:1. We start with the given conditions: - ( f(i, i+1) = frac{1}{3} ) for all ( i ). - ( f(i, j) = f(i, k) + f(k, j) - 2f(i, k)f(k, j) ) for all ( k ) such that ( i < k < j ).2. We need to find ( f(1, 100) ). Using the second condition with ( i = 1 ), ( k = 2 ), and ( j = 100 ), we get: [ f(1, 100) = f(1, 2) + f(2, 100) - 2f(1, 2)f(2, 100) ] Given ( f(1, 2) = frac{1}{3} ), we substitute: [ f(1, 100) = frac{1}{3} + f(2, 100) - 2 cdot frac{1}{3} cdot f(2, 100) ] Simplifying, we get: [ f(1, 100) = frac{1}{3} + f(2, 100) - frac{2}{3}f(2, 100) ] [ f(1, 100) = frac{1}{3} + left(1 - frac{2}{3}right)f(2, 100) ] [ f(1, 100) = frac{1}{3} + frac{1}{3}f(2, 100) ] [ f(1, 100) = frac{1}{3}(1 + f(2, 100)) ]3. Similarly, we can express ( f(2, 100) ) using the same recurrence relation: [ f(2, 100) = f(2, 3) + f(3, 100) - 2f(2, 3)f(3, 100) ] Given ( f(2, 3) = frac{1}{3} ), we substitute: [ f(2, 100) = frac{1}{3} + f(3, 100) - 2 cdot frac{1}{3} cdot f(3, 100) ] Simplifying, we get: [ f(2, 100) = frac{1}{3} + f(3, 100) - frac{2}{3}f(3, 100) ] [ f(2, 100) = frac{1}{3} + left(1 - frac{2}{3}right)f(3, 100) ] [ f(2, 100) = frac{1}{3} + frac{1}{3}f(3, 100) ] [ f(2, 100) = frac{1}{3}(1 + f(3, 100)) ]4. By induction, we can generalize this pattern: [ f(1, n) = frac{1}{3}(1 + f(2, n)) ] [ f(2, n) = frac{1}{3}(1 + f(3, n)) ] [ vdots ] [ f(n-1, n) = frac{1}{3} ]5. We observe that: [ f(1, n) = frac{1}{3} left(1 + frac{1}{3} left(1 + frac{1}{3} left(1 + cdots left(1 + frac{1}{3}right) cdots right) right) right) ]6. This forms a geometric series: [ S_n = 1 + frac{1}{3} + frac{1}{3^2} + cdots + frac{1}{3^{n-1}} ] The sum of this geometric series is: [ S_n = frac{1 - left(frac{1}{3}right)^n}{1 - frac{1}{3}} = frac{1 - frac{1}{3^n}}{frac{2}{3}} = frac{3}{2} left(1 - frac{1}{3^n}right) ]7. Therefore: [ f(1, n) = frac{1}{3} S_n = frac{1}{3} cdot frac{3}{2} left(1 - frac{1}{3^n}right) = frac{1}{2} left(1 - frac{1}{3^n}right) ]8. For ( n = 100 ): [ f(1, 100) = frac{1}{2} left(1 - frac{1}{3^{100}}right) ]The final answer is (boxed{frac{1}{2} left(1 - frac{1}{3^{100}}right)})

question:7.4. Vsevolod assembled an octahedron from eight identical triangles (depicted in the image), after which he painted each of the twelve segments composing it in red, blue, or green. It turned out that at each of the six vertices of the octahedron, segments of each color arrive. How many segments could have been painted green in total? (Find all the options and show that there are no others.)![](https://cdn.mathpix.com/cropped/2024_05_06_8a7313c77a58492b8e01g-2.jpg?height=840&width=851&top_left_y=965&top_left_x=611)

answer:Solution: Consider one of the colors. According to the condition, an edge of this color leaves each vertex. The total number of such exits is at least 6, and each edge leaves exactly two vertices. Therefore, the total number of edges of each color is at least 3. From this, it also follows that the number of edges of each color is no more than 6, otherwise there would not be enough edges of other colors.As can be seen from the diagram, the edges can be colored such that exactly one edge of each color leaves each vertex. The total number of colored edges will be 9, leaving 3 more edges. These 3 edges can be colored in any way. Depending on this, the number of green edges will vary from 3 to 6.Criteria: Only the answer - 0 points.Proved that the number of edges is at least 3 - 2 points.Proved that the number of edges is no more than 6 - 1 point.Example for each number of edges - 1 point each.These points are cumulative.

question:In triangle ABC, it satisfies |overrightarrow{BC}| = |overrightarrow{AC}| and (overrightarrow{AB} - 3overrightarrow{AC}) perp overrightarrow{CB}. The size of angle C is (  )A: frac{pi}{3} B: frac{pi}{6} C: frac{2pi}{3} D: frac{5pi}{6}

answer:Since in triangle ABC, it satisfies |overrightarrow{BC}| = |overrightarrow{AC}| and (overrightarrow{AB} - 3overrightarrow{AC}) perp overrightarrow{CB}, then (overrightarrow{AB} - 3overrightarrow{AC}) cdot overrightarrow{CB} = 0, Since overrightarrow{AB} = overrightarrow{AC} + overrightarrow{CB}, then |overrightarrow{CB}|^2 = 2overrightarrow{AC} cdot overrightarrow{CB}, thus |overrightarrow{CB}| cdot |overrightarrow{AC}| = -2overrightarrow{CA} cdot overrightarrow{CB}, therefore cos C = frac{overrightarrow{CA} cdot overrightarrow{CB}}{|overrightarrow{CB}| cdot |overrightarrow{CA}|} = -frac{1}{2}, Since C in (0, pi), therefore C = frac{2pi}{3}. Hence, the correct answer is: boxed{text{C}}. From the given information, (overrightarrow{AB} - 3overrightarrow{AC}) cdot overrightarrow{CB} = 0, thus |overrightarrow{CB}| cdot |overrightarrow{AC}| = -2overrightarrow{CA} cdot overrightarrow{CB}, and then cos C = frac{overrightarrow{CA} cdot overrightarrow{CB}}{|overrightarrow{CB}| cdot |overrightarrow{CA}|} = -frac{1}{2}, from which the size of angle C can be determined. This question examines the method of determining the size of an angle, which is a basic problem. When solving, it is important to apply the knowledge of vector operations appropriately.

question:Given a set of data a, b, c with an average of 5, then the average of the data a-2, b-2, c-2 is ______.

answer:Given that the average of the data a, b, c is 5, we start by expressing this mathematically:[frac{1}{3}(a + b + c) = 5]From this equation, we want to find the average of the data a-2, b-2, c-2. We can express this new average as:[frac{1}{3}left((a-2) + (b-2) + (c-2)right) = frac{1}{3}(a + b + c - 6)]Since we know frac{1}{3}(a + b + c) = 5, we can substitute this value into our new equation:[frac{1}{3}(a + b + c - 6) = 5 - 2 = 3]Therefore, the average of the data a-2, b-2, c-2 is boxed{3}.
