question:[b]p1.[/b] You have 10 bags of 2006 coins each and a scale which can show exact weight. You know that nine bags contain honest coins which weigh 10 grams each. The remaining bag contains false coins which weigh 11 grams each. All bags look alike, so you don’t know which bag contains false coins. How to determine the bag with false coins by one weighing? (This means that you can put some coins on the scale, read the result and make a decision based on the result).[b]p2.[/b] Is it true that if the lengths of all three altitudes of a triangle are less than 1 centimeter, then its area is less than 100 square centimeters?[b]p3.[/b] Find the smallest possible whole number with the following property: its half is a square of some whole number, its third is a cube of some whole number and its fifth is the fifth power of some whole numer.[b]p4.[/b] Martian bus tickets have six-digit numbers, so that all tickets are numbered from 000001 to 999999. Martians think that the ticket is lucky if the sum of the first three digits is equal to the sum of the last three digits. Prove that the total sum of all 6-digit numbers which appear on the lucky tickets is divisible by 13.PS. You should use hide for answers.

answer: Problem 1:1. Label the bags from 1 to 10.2. Take 1 coin from the first bag, 2 coins from the second bag, 3 coins from the third bag, and so on, until you take 10 coins from the tenth bag.3. Weigh all these coins together.Let ( W ) be the total weight of the coins. If all coins were honest, the total weight would be:[W_{text{honest}} = 10 times (1 + 2 + 3 + cdots + 10) = 10 times frac{10 times 11}{2} = 550 text{ grams}]Since one of the bags contains false coins weighing 11 grams each, the actual weight ( W ) will be:[W = 550 + (n - 1)]where ( n ) is the number of the bag with false coins.By comparing the actual weight ( W ) with the expected weight ( W_{text{honest}} ), we can determine the bag with false coins:[n = W - 549] Problem 2:1. Let ( a, b, c ) be the sides of the triangle, and ( h_a, h_b, h_c ) be the altitudes corresponding to these sides.2. The area ( A ) of the triangle can be expressed using any altitude:[A = frac{1}{2} a h_a = frac{1}{2} b h_b = frac{1}{2} c h_c]3. Given ( h_a, h_b, h_c < 1 ) cm, we have:[A < frac{1}{2} a times 1 = frac{a}{2}][A < frac{1}{2} b times 1 = frac{b}{2}][A < frac{1}{2} c times 1 = frac{c}{2}]4. Since ( a, b, c ) are the sides of a triangle, by the triangle inequality, the maximum possible area is less than:[A < frac{1}{2} times text{(sum of sides)} times 1 < 100 text{ cm}^2] Problem 3:1. Let ( x ) be the number. We need:[frac{x}{2} = a^2, quad frac{x}{3} = b^3, quad frac{x}{5} = c^5]2. Therefore, ( x ) must be divisible by ( 2, 3, ) and ( 5 ) raised to the appropriate powers:[x = 2^3 times 3^4 times 5^6]3. Calculating the value:[x = 8 times 81 times 15625 = 10125000] Problem 4:1. Let ( N ) be the total sum of all 6-digit numbers on lucky tickets.2. A ticket is lucky if the sum of the first three digits equals the sum of the last three digits.3. The total sum of all 6-digit numbers is:[sum_{i=000001}^{999999} i]4. The sum of the digits of each lucky ticket is divisible by 13, as the sum of the first three digits equals the sum of the last three digits.5. Therefore, the total sum ( N ) is divisible by 13.(blacksquare)The final answer is ( boxed{ x = 10125000 } )

question:Among the following four propositions, the correct one is (  )A: Angles in the first quadrant must be acute angles.B: Acute angles must be angles in the first quadrant.C: Angles with the same terminal side must be equal.D: Angles in the second quadrant must be greater than those in the first quadrant.

answer:For A and B, since acute angles are angles in the first quadrant, but angles in the first quadrant are not necessarily acute angles, so A is incorrect, and B is correct. For C, there are many angles with the same terminal side, and their relationship is that their difference is an integer multiple of a full angle, so C is incorrect. For D, there are both positive and negative angles in the second quadrant, and similarly, there are both positive and negative angles in each quadrant. Therefore, it is impossible to compare the sizes of angles in the first quadrant with those in the second quadrant, making D incorrect. Thus, the correct choice is boxed{text{B}}. This question examines the relationship between quadrant angles and special angles. Acute angles must be angles in each quadrant, but angles in the first quadrant are not necessarily acute angles. Angles with the same terminal side differ by an integer multiple of a full angle. Angles in the second quadrant can be negative, and there are also positive angles in the first quadrant, so it is impossible to compare the sizes of angles in the second quadrant with those in the first quadrant. The key point of this question is the relationship between quadrant angles and axial angles, examining the relationship between quadrant angles and acute angles, the size relationship between angles with the same terminal side, and the size relationship between angles in two different quadrants. It effectively checks the basic knowledge of quadrant angles and axial angles.

question:Find all odd prime p such that 1+k(p-1) is prime for all integer k where 1 le k le dfrac{p-1}{2}.

answer:1. Restate the problem: We need to find all odd primes ( p ) such that ( 1 + k(p-1) ) is prime for all integers ( k ) where ( 1 le k le frac{p-1}{2} ).2. Consider the case ( p ge 13 ): - Let ( q ) be an odd prime such that ( q le frac{p-1}{2} ). - We need ( 1 + k(p-1) ) to be prime for ( k = 1, 2, ldots, q ). - By the Pigeonhole Principle, there exist ( a ) and ( b ) such that ( 1 + a(p-1) equiv 1 + b(p-1) pmod{q} ). - This implies ( q mid (a-b)(p-1) ) and since ( |a-b| < q ), we have ( q mid p-1 ). - Therefore, ( q mid frac{p-1}{2} ).3. Apply Bertrand's Postulate: - Bertrand's Postulate states that for any integer ( n > 1 ), there is always at least one prime ( r ) such that ( n < r < 2n ). - Applying this to ( frac{p-1}{4} ), we get a prime ( r ) such that ( frac{p-1}{4} < r < frac{p-1}{2} ). - Since ( r ) is a prime and ( r neq 3 ), we have ( r mid frac{p-1}{2} ) and ( 3 mid frac{p-1}{2} ).4. Derive a contradiction: - If ( 3r mid frac{p-1}{2} ), then ( frac{3(p-1)}{2} < 3r le frac{p-1}{2} ), which is a contradiction because ( frac{3(p-1)}{2} ) is greater than ( frac{p-1}{2} ).5. Consider the case ( p le 12 ): - For ( p = 11 ): ( 1 + 2(11-1) = 21 ) is not prime. - For ( p = 7 ): ( 1 + (7-1) = 7 ), ( 1 + 2(7-1) = 13 ), ( 1 + 3(7-1) = 19 ) are all primes. - For ( p = 5 ): ( 1 + 2(5-1) = 9 ) is not prime. - For ( p = 3 ): ( 1 + (3-1) = 3 ) is prime.6. Conclusion: - The only odd primes ( p ) that satisfy the condition are ( p = 3 ) and ( p = 7 ).The final answer is (boxed{3, 7})

question:18 cdot 24 In triangle ABC, angle CBA=72^{circ}, E is the midpoint of side AC, D is on BC such that 2BD=DC, and AD intersects BE at F. Then the ratio of the area of triangle BDF to the area of quadrilateral FDEC is(A) frac{1}{5}.(B) frac{1}{4}.(C) frac{1}{3}.(D) frac{2}{5}.(E) None of these.(31st American High School Mathematics Examination, 1980)

answer:[Solution] As shown in the figure, draw a line from E to the midpoint G of DC.Since EG is the line connecting the midpoints of sides AC and DC in triangle ACD, EG parallel AD, thenS_{triangle EBG}=frac{2}{3} S_{triangle EBC},and S_{triangle BDF}=frac{1}{4} S_{triangle EBG}=frac{1}{6} S_{triangle EBC}.Therefore, S_{FDC E}=frac{5}{6} S_{triangle EBC}.Thus, frac{S_{triangle BDF}}{S_{FDC E}}=frac{1}{5}.Hence, the answer is (A).

question:A1. In the factory, the equipment was upgraded and productivity increased by 25 %. When some workers were laid off, productivity decreased by 20 %. By what percentage did productivity change in this factory after both changes?(A) Decreased by 5 %(B) Decreased by 2.5%(C) Decreased by 2 %(D) Did not change(E) Increased by 5 %

answer:A1. If at the beginning the factory produced x products, then after the equipment was updated, they produced frac{125}{100} cdot x products, and after the layoffs, they produced frac{80}{100} cdot frac{125}{100} cdot x=x products. The number of final products has therefore not changed. The correct answer is D.
