question:In a round-robin tournament, 23 teams participated. Each team played exactly once against all the others. We say that 3 teams have cycled victories if, considering only their games against each other, each of them won exactly once. What is the maximum number of cycled victories that could have occurred during the tournament?

answer:Let's solve the problem more generally for n teams, where n is an odd number. We will represent each team with a point. After a match between two teams, an arrow should point from the losing team to the winning team. (In this context, we can assume that there has never been a tie.)If the teams A, B, and C have beaten each other in a cycle, which can happen in two ways, then the triangle ABC is called directed. Otherwise, the triangle is not directed.Provide an estimate for the number of non-directed triangles.In every non-directed triangle, there is exactly one vertex such that the team represented by this vertex has beaten the other two. We will count the non-directed triangles according to the "winning" vertex.Let the teams be represented by the points A_{1}, A_{2}, ldots, A_{n}, and let d_{i} denote the number of wins for A_{i}. Since there were a total of binom{n}{2} matches, sum_{i=1}^{n} d_{i}=frac{n(n-1)}{2}. Then, binom{d_{i}}{2} non-directed triangles are associated with the vertex A_{i}, since we need to choose two from the teams it has beaten.Thus, the total number of non-directed triangles is: sum_{i=1}^{n}binom{d_{i}}{2}.By the inequality between the arithmetic mean and the quadratic mean:begin{gathered}sum_{i=1}^{n}binom{d_{i}}{2}=frac{1}{2} sum_{i=1}^{n} d_{i}^{2}-frac{1}{2} sum_{i=1}^{n} d_{i}=frac{1}{2} n frac{sum_{i=1}^{n} d_{i}^{2}}{n}-frac{1}{2} sum_{i=1}^{n} d_{i} geq frac{1}{2} nleft(frac{sum_{i=1}^{n} d_{i}}{n}right)^{2}-frac{1}{2} sum_{i=1}^{n} d_{i}= =frac{1}{2} nleft(frac{n-1}{2}right)^{2}-frac{1}{2} frac{n(n-1)}{2}=frac{n^{3}-4 n^{2}+3 n}{8}end{gathered}Can equality hold here? Yes, if we can provide a directed complete graph for whichd_{1}=d_{2}=cdots=d_{n}=frac{n-1}{2}Let n=2 k+1. Then one possible construction is as follows:If 1 leq i<j leq 2 k+1 and j-i is greater than k, then A_{j} beat A_{i}, otherwise A_{i} beat A_{j}. It is easy to verify that in this case,d_{1}=d_{2}=cdots=d_{n}=frac{n-1}{2}Since there are binom{n}{3} triangles in total, the number of directed triangles in our case isbinom{n}{3}-frac{n^{3}-4 n^{2}+3 n}{8}=frac{n(n-1)(n-2)}{6}-frac{n^{3}-4 n^{2}+3 n}{8}=frac{n^{3}-n}{24}For the case n=23, this is 506, so at most 506 cycles of wins could have occurred during the tournament.Based on the work of András Juhász (Fazekas M.

question:If the function f(n) = k, where n in mathbb{N}, and k is the digit in the n-th position after the decimal point of pi = 3.1415926535ldots, for example, f(2) = 4, then f{fldots f[f(7)]} (with a total of 2007 f's) equals to.

answer:From the given condition, we have f(7) = 6.Therefore, f(f(7)) = f(6) = 2,Therefore, f(f(f(7))) = f(2) = 4,Therefore, f(f(f(f(7)))) = f(4) = 5,Therefore, f(f(f(f(f(7))))) = f(5) = 9,Therefore, f(f(f(f(f(7))))) = f(f(9)) = 5,Therefore, f(f(f(f(f(f(7)))))) = f(5) = 3,Therefore, f(f(f(f(f(f(f(7))))))) = f(3) = 1,After this, a cycle occurs, and every function value equals zero,Thus, it is derived that f{fldots f[f(7)]} (with a total of 2007 f's) = 1.Hence, the answer is boxed{1}.

question:On the diagonals A C and B D of trapezoid A B C D, points M and N are taken respectively such that A M: M C=D N: N B=1: 4. Find M N, if the bases A D=a, B C=b(a>b).

answer:Continue M N until it intersects one of the lateral sides of the trapezoid.## SolutionDraw a line through point M parallel to the bases. Let K and N_{1} be the points of intersection of this line with side C D and diagonal B D, respectively (see figure). From Thales' theorem, it follows that D K: K C = A M: M C = 1: 4, D N_{1}: N_{1} B = D K: K C = 1: 4. Therefore, point N_{1} coincides with point N. Consequently, M N | A D.From the similarity of triangles C K M and C D A, we find that M K = 4 / 5 A D = 4 / 5 a, and from the similarity of triangles D K N and D C B, we find that K N = 1 / 5 B C = 1 / 5 b.Therefore, M N = M K - K N = 1 / 5 (4 a - b).![](https://cdn.mathpix.com/cropped/2024_05_06_3ae27f1f0c68451d31a7g-25.jpg?height=378&width=669&top_left_y=134&top_left_x=700)Answer1 / 5 (4 a - b).Send a comment

question:## Task 4 - 110914In a plane varepsilon lies a rectangle A B C D . S is a point on the perpendicular in A to varepsilon.Determine the size of the angle angle C D S!

answer:The points A, D, S lie in a plane varepsilon^{prime}, which is perpendicular to the plane varepsilon through A, B, C and D; for by assumption, A D perp A B and, if S neq A, also S A perp A B.In the case S=A, let varepsilon^{prime} be the plane perpendicular to varepsilon through A and D. Therefore, in any case, C D perp varepsilon^{prime} and thus |angle C D S|=90^{circ}.

question:In regular hexagon ABCDEF, points W, X, Y, and Z are chosen on sides overline{BC}, overline{CD}, overline{EF}, and overline{FA} respectively, so lines AB, ZW, YX, and ED are parallel and equally spaced. What is the ratio of the area of hexagon WCXYFZ to the area of hexagon ABCDEF?textbf{(A)} frac{1}{3}qquadtextbf{(B)} frac{10}{27}qquadtextbf{(C)} frac{11}{27}qquadtextbf{(D)} frac{4}{9}qquadtextbf{(E)} frac{13}{27}

answer:We draw a diagram to make our work easier:Assume that AB is of length 1. Therefore, the area of ABCDEF is frac{3sqrt 3}2. To find the area of WCXYFZ, we draw overline{CF}, and find the area of the trapezoids WCFZ and CXYF. From this, we know that CF=2. We also know that the combined heights of the trapezoids is frac{sqrt 3}3, since overline{ZW} and overline{YX} are equally spaced, and the height of each of the trapezoids is frac{sqrt 3}6. From this, we know overline{ZW} and overline{YX} are each frac 13 of the way from overline{CF} to overline{DE} and overline{AB}, respectively. We know that these are both equal to frac 53.We find the area of each of the trapezoids, which both happen to be frac{11}6 cdot frac{sqrt 3}6=frac{11sqrt 3}{36}, and the combined area is frac{11sqrt 3}{18}.We find that dfrac{frac{11sqrt 3}{18}}{frac{3sqrt 3}2} is equal to frac{22}{54}=boxed{textbf{(C)} frac{11}{27}}.

question:9. As shown in the figure, the diagonal B D of square A B C D is 20 cm long, and B D F E is a rectangle. Then, the area of pentagon A B E F D isqquad square centimeters.

answer:【Analysis】300 square centimetersConnecting lines as shown in the figure can divide the shape into 6 equal parts, where the area of any one part is 10 times 10 div 2=50 square centimeters; therefore, the area of pentagon A B E F D is 50 times 6=300 square centimeters.
