The number of positive integer divisors of a number with prime factorization

2^a \times 3^b \times 5^c

is given by

(a+1)(b+1)(c+1)

. Setting this product equal to 40 and factoring 40 into three integers greater than 1 yields two distinct sets of factors:

\{2, 2, 10\}

and

\{2, 4, 5\}

. The sum of the factors in

\{2, 4, 5\}

is

2 + 4 + 5 = 11

, which is smaller than

2 + 2 + 10 = 14

. Subtracting 1 from each factor gives the exponents

a, b, c

as

1, 3, 4

, making the minimum sum

a+b+c = 1 + 3 + 4 = 8

.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Express the number of divisors of

n

in terms of its exponents.

For

n = 2^a \times 3^b \times 5^c

, the total number of positive divisors is

(a+1)(b+1)(c+1) = 40

.

The total divisor count formula requires taking the product of each prime factor's exponent increased by 1.

2

Find all combinations of three integers greater than 1 whose product is 40.

Since

a, b, c \ge 1

, we have

a+1, b+1, c+1 \ge 2

. The integer factorizations of 40 into 3 factors

\ge 2

are

(2, 2, 10)

and

(2, 4, 5)

.

We must break down 40 into 3 integer components corresponding to

(a+1)

,

(b+1)

, and

(c+1)

.

3

Calculate the sum

(a+1)+(b+1)+(c+1)

for each combination to find the minimum sum.

For

(2, 2, 10)

, the sum is

2 + 2 + 10 = 14

. For

(2, 4, 5)

, the sum is

2 + 4 + 5 = 11

. The minimum sum of factors is 11.

Minimizing

(a+1)+(b+1)+(c+1)

directly minimizes

a+b+c

.

4

Subtract 3 to obtain the minimum possible value of

a+b+c

.

a+b+c = 11 - 3 = 8

.

Since

(a+1)+(b+1)+(c+1) = (a+b+c) + 3 = 11

, subtracting 3 yields

a+b+c = 8

.

For any positive integer $n$ , let $u(n)$ denote the units digit of the sum $7^n + 3^{n+1} + 2^{n+2}$ . What is the remainder when the sum $u(1) + u(2) + u(3) + \dots + u(100)$ is divided by 7?

Cevap: 6

Cevap

The remainder when the sum is divided by 7 is 6.

Evaluating the units digit

u(n)

for

n = 1, 2, 3, 4

gives

u(1) = 4

,

u(2) = 2

,

u(3) = 6

, and

u(4) = 0

. This pattern of 4 values repeats indefinitely. The sum of one full cycle of 4 terms is

4 + 2 + 6 + 0 = 12

. Since there are 100 terms in total, there are

100 / 4 = 25

full cycles. The total sum is

25 \times 12 = 300

. Dividing 300 by 7 gives a quotient of 42 with a remainder of 6. Thus, the correct choice is 6.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Determine the units digit cyclicity for each power term.

The units digits of

7^n

follow the 4-term cycle [7, 9, 3, 1]. The units digits of

3^{n+1}

follow [9, 7, 1, 3]. The units digits of

2^{n+2}

follow [8, 4, 2, 6].

Units digits of positive integer powers repeat periodically with a cycle length of 4.

2

Calculate

u(n)

for the first 4 terms to identify the repeating pattern of

u(n)

.

For

n=1

:

7+9+8 = 24 \implies u(1)=4

. For

n=2

:

9+7+4 = 20 \implies u(2)=0

. For

n=3

:

3+1+2 = 6 \implies u(3)=6

. For

n=4

:

1+3+6 = 10 \implies u(4)=0

. The sequence of

u(n)

is

[4, 0, 6, 0]

.

Evaluating individual terms determines the fundamental period and sum per period of

u(n)

.

3

Sum the values of

u(n)

over one complete cycle of 4 terms.

Sum of one cycle =

4 + 0 + 6 + 0 = 10

.

Finding the sum of a single period simplifies finding the total sum over 100 terms.

4

Calculate the total sum for 100 terms and determine its remainder modulo 7.

Since 100 terms contain

100 / 4 = 25

complete cycles, the total sum

S = 25 \times 10 = 250

. Dividing 250 by 7 gives

250 = 7 \times 35 + 5

? Wait:

u(2) = (9+7+4)

units digit is 0. Let's verify:

7^2=49

(9),

3^3=27

(7),

2^4=16

(6).

9+7+6=22 \implies u(2)=2

. Let's re-verify:

u(1)=4, u(2)=2, u(3)=6, u(4)=0

. Sum per cycle =

4+2+6+0 = 12

. Total sum

S = 25 \times 12 = 300

.

300 = 7 \times 42 + 6

. Remainder is 6.

Dividing the total sum of 300 by 7 yields a quotient of 42 and a remainder of 6.

Cevap: 11

Cevap

The value of

2^{x+y} + 3^{x-y}

is 11.

Factoring the left side of the equation yields

2^{x-2}(2^2 - 1) = 3 \cdot 2^{x-2}

. Setting this equal to

3^y

and dividing both sides by 3 gives

2^{x-2} = 3^{y-1}

. Because 2 and 3 are coprime bases, equality is possible only when both exponents equal zero. This determines

x = 2

and

y = 1

, both of which are positive integers. Substituting these values into

2^{x+y} + 3^{x-y}

results in

2^3 + 3^1 = 8 + 3 = 11

.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Factor out the common term on the left side of the given equation

2^x - 2^{x-2} = 2^{x-2}(2^2 - 1) = 2^{x-2}(4 - 1) = 3 \cdot 2^{x-2}

Factoring out the smallest power of 2 simplifies the subtraction into a multiplication.

2

Equate the factored expression to the right side and simplify

3 \cdot 2^{x-2} = 3^y \implies 2^{x-2} = \frac{3^y}{3} = 3^{y-1}

Dividing both sides by 3 isolates the prime bases 2 and 3 on opposite sides of the equation.

3

Apply fundamental properties of prime factorizations

x - 2 = 0 \implies x = 2

and

y - 1 = 0 \implies y = 1

Since 2 and 3 are distinct prime numbers,

2^a = 3^b

can hold for integer exponents only if

a = 0

and

b = 0

.

4

Evaluate the target expression using

x = 2

and

y = 1

2^{2+1} + 3^{2-1} = 2^3 + 3^1 = 8 + 3 = 11

The total number of positive divisors of

n = 3^x \cdot 5^y \cdot 7^z

is

(x+1)(y+1)(z+1) = 24

. Because

x, y, z

are positive integers, each factor term must be at least 2. Factoring 24 into three integer factors each

\ge 2

yields two possibilities:

(2, 2, 6)

and

(2, 3, 4)

. The sum of the exponents

x+y+z

equals

(x+1)+(y+1)+(z+1) - 3

. For

Express the number of divisors using the prime factorization formula.

For

n = 3^x \cdot 5^y \cdot 7^z

, the number of positive divisors is

(x+1)(y+1)(z+1) = 24

.

The total number of divisors of a prime-factored integer is found by taking the product of each prime factor's exponent plus one.

2

Determine the constraints on the factor terms.

Since

x, y, z

are positive integers (

x, y, z \ge 1

Cevap: $\frac{14}{5}$

Cevap

The sum of all real values of

x

satisfying the equation is

\frac{14}{5}

(or

2.8

).

The system of linear equations has infinitely many solutions when the ratio of coefficients is constant:

\frac{k}{k+1} = \frac{6}{9} = \frac{18}{27} = \frac{2}{3}

, which yields

k = 2

. Substituting

k = 2

gives

|2x - 10| = 3x - 4

. Breaking this into cases yields

2x - 10 = 3x - 4 \implies x = -6

and

-(2x - 10) = 3x - 4 \implies x = \frac{14}{5}

. Testing

x = -6

in the original equation gives

|-22| = -22

, which is false, making

x = -6

an extraneous solution. Testing

x = \frac{14}{5}

gives

|-4.4| = 4.4

, which is true. Thus, the only real solution is

\frac{14}{5}

, making the option equal to

\frac{14}{5}

correct.

1

Determine the value of the constant

k

from the system of linear equations.

k = 2

For a system of two linear equations in two variables to have infinitely many solutions, the ratio of coefficients of

x

,

y

, and the constant terms must all be equal:

\frac{k}{k+1} = \frac{6}{9} = \frac{18}{27}

. Since

\frac{6}{9} = \frac{2}{3}

, setting

\frac{k}{k+1} = \frac{2}{3}

gives

3k = 2k + 2 \implies k = 2

.

2

Substitute

k = 2

into the absolute value equation.

|2x - 10| = 3x - 4

Replacing

k

with

sets up the single-variable linear absolute value equation to solve.

3

Solve Case 1 where the expression inside the absolute value is non-negative (

2x - 10 \ge 0

x = -6

(Extraneous)

Setting

2x - 10 = 3x - 4

yields

x = -6

. However, substituting

x = -6

back into the right side gives

3(-6) - 4 = -22

. Since an absolute value cannot equal a negative number,

x = -6

is an extraneous solution.

Solve Case 2 where the expression inside the absolute value is negative (

2x - 10 < 0

x = \frac{14}{5}

(Valid)

Setting

-(2x - 10) = 3x - 4

gives

-2x + 10 = 3x - 4 \implies 5x = 14 \implies x = \frac{14}{5}

. Substituting

x = 2.8

into the right side yields

3(2.8) - 4 = 4.4 \ge 0

, and

|2(2.8) - 10| = |-4.4| = 4.4

. Thus,

x = \frac{14}{5}

is valid.

5

Sum all valid real solutions.

\frac{14}{5}

Since

.

Reducing bases modulo 7 simplifies calculating large exponents.

2

Determine the remainder cyclicity of powers of 2 modulo 7

The cycle length is 3 with pattern

(2, 4, 1)

, because

2^1 \equiv 2

Powers of integers modulo a divisor repeat periodically.

Evaluate each term using the exponent modulo the cycle length

86 \equiv 2 \pmod 3 \implies 2^{86} \equiv 2^2 = 4 \pmod 7

, and

43 \equiv 1 \pmod 3 \implies 2^{43} \equiv 2^1 = 2 \pmod 7

Factoring out

4^x

gives

4^x(1 + 4 + 16) = 21 \cdot 4^x

. Dividing both sides of

21 \cdot 4^x = 84 \cdot 2^{10}

by 21 yields

4^x = 4 \cdot 2^{10}

. Converting terms to base 2 produces

2^{2x} = 2^2 \cdot 2^{10} = 2^{12}

. Setting exponents equal gives

2x = 12

, which yields

x = 6

.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Factor out the common term

4^x

from the left side of the equation.

4^x(1 + 4^1 + 4^2) = 4^x(1 + 4 + 16) = 21 \cdot 4^x

Expressions adding powers with consecutive exponents can be simplified by factoring out the lowest power.

2

Substitute the factored expression into the equation and solve for

4^x

.

21 \cdot 4^x = 84 \cdot 2^{10} \implies 4^x = \frac{84}{21} \cdot 2^{10} = 4 \cdot 2^{10}

Dividing both sides by 21 isolates the exponential term on the left.

3

Convert both sides of the equation to powers of base 2.

(2^2)^x = 2^2 \cdot 2^{10} \implies 2^{2x} = 2^{12}

Expressing both sides with a common base enables equating exponents.

4

Equate exponents and solve for

x

.

2x = 12 \implies x = 6

When bases are equal, the powers must be equal.

If $x$ , $y$ , and $z$ are integers satisfying $x < y < 0 < z$ , $x + y + z = 0$ , and $x y z = 160$ , what is the value of $z - x$ ?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 18

Cevap

The value of

z - x

is

18

.

By defining positive variables

a = -x

and

b = -y

, the given inequality

x < y < 0

implies

a > b > 0

. Since

x + y + z = 0

,

z = a + b

. The product condition

xyz = 160

translates to

ab(a+b) = 160

. Testing positive integer values reveals that

b = 2

and

a = 8

is the unique solution satisfying

a > b > 0

. This gives

x = -8

,

y = -2

, and

z = 10

, making

z - x = 10 - (-8) = 18

.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Set up positive variables for the negative integers

Let

a = -x

and

b = -y

, where

a

and

b

are positive integers with

a > b > 0

. From

x + y + z = 0

, we get

-a - b + z = 0

, so

z = a + b

.

Converting negative integers to positive magnitude variables simplifies sign analysis in products and sums.

2

Substitute variables into the product equation

Substituting

x = -a

,

y = -b

, and

z = a + b

into

x y z = 160

gives

(-a)(-b)(a + b) = 160

, which simplifies to

a b (a + b) = 160

.

Multiplying two negative numbers yields a positive product, simplifying the product expression.

3

Solve for positive integer pairs

(a, b)

with

a > b

Testing integer values of

b

:
- If

b = 1

,

a(a+1) = 160

(no integer solution as

12 \times 13 = 156

).
- If

b = 2

,

2a(a+2) = 160 \implies a(a+2) = 80 \implies a = 8

.
- If

b = 3

,

3a(a+3) = 160 \implies a(a+3) = 53.33

(not an integer).
- If

b = 4

,

4a(a+4) = 160 \implies a(a+4) = 40

(no integer solution).
- If

b \ge 5

,

a > b \implies a \ge 6

, so

a b (a+b) \ge 6 \times 5 \times 11 = 330 > 160

.
Thus, the only valid integer pair is

a = 8

and

b = 2

.

Systematically checking integer factors under inequality constraints guarantees finding all unique solutions.

4

Calculate the target expression

z - x

Since

a = 8

and

b = 2

, we have

x = -8

,

y = -2

, and

z = 8 + 2 = 10

. Therefore,

z - x = 10 - (-8) = 18

.

Evaluating

z - x

using the identified values completes the solution.

Cevap

72

The value 72 has the prime factorization

2^3 \cdot 3^2

. It is divisible by

8 = 2^3

and

9 = 3^2

, and its number of positive integer divisors is

(3+1)(2+1) = 12

, satisfying all conditions of the problem.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Express the divisibility conditions in terms of prime factors.

Since

k

is divisible by

8 = 2^3

and

9 = 3^2

, the prime factorization of

k

must be of the form

k = 2^a \cdot 3^b \cdot p_1^{c_1} \cdots

, where

a \geq 3

and

b \geq 2

.

Any multiple of 8 must contain at least three factors of 2, and any multiple of 9 must contain at least two factors of 3.

2

Write the formula for the total number of positive integer divisors.

The number of positive integer divisors is given by

(a+1)(b+1)(c_1+1)\cdots = 12

.

The total number of divisors of a number expressed in prime factorization is found by adding 1 to each exponent and multiplying the results.

3

Determine the values of the exponents

a

and

b

.

Since

a \geq 3

, we have

a+1 \geq 4

. Since

b \geq 2

, we have

b+1 \geq 3

. Therefore,

(a+1)(b+1) \geq 4 \times 3 = 12

.

Because the product

(a+1)(b+1)

is already at least 12, there can be no additional prime factors, so

a+1 = 4 \implies a = 3

and

b+1 = 3 \implies b = 2

.

4

Calculate the value of

k

.

k = 2^3 \cdot 3^2 = 8 \cdot 9 = 72

.

Evaluating

2^3 \cdot 3^2

gives the unique positive integer satisfying all given conditions.

For a set of consecutive integers to sum to zero, the elements must be symmetric about zero. Therefore, the set has an odd number of terms

n = 2k + 1

ranging from

-k

to

k

. Setting up the product of the smallest term

(-k)

and the term count

(2k + 1)

gives

(-k)(2k + 1) = -300

, which simplifies to

2k^2 + k - 300 = 0

. Factoring this quadratic yields

(2k + 25)(k - 12) = 0

, so

k = 12

. The positive integers in the set are

1

through

12

, totaling 12 elements.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Determine the symmetry and structure of set

The median of set

S

0

, and the set contains an odd number of terms

n = 2k + 1

centered at

0

, expressed as

\{-k, -(k-1), \dots, 0, \dots, k-1, k\}

.

For a set of consecutive integers to sum to

0

, the terms must be symmetric around

0

. Since

0

is an element of the set,

n

must be odd.

2

Set up the quadratic equation using the given product.

The smallest element is

-k

and the total number of elements is

n = 2k + 1

, yielding

(-k)(2k + 1) = -300

, which simplifies to

2k^2 + k - 300 = 0

.

The question specifies that the product of the smallest element and the number of elements is

-300

.

3

Solve the quadratic equation for

k

.

Factoring

(2k + 25)(k - 12) = 0

gives

k = 12

as the only positive integer solution.

Since

k

represents a count of elements strictly above zero,

k

must be a positive integer.

4

Count the number of positive integers in set

S

.

The positive integers are

1, 2, \dots, 12

The correct answer is

60

. The outbound time is

\frac{180}{v}

hours and the return time is

\frac{180}{v - 15}

hours. Setting their difference equal to

1

gives

\frac{180}{v - 15} - \frac{180}{v} = 1

. Solving the resulting quadratic equation

v^2 - 15v - 2700 = 0

t_2 = \frac{180}{v - 15}

hours.

Time is equal to distance divided by speed.

hour longer than the outbound trip.

3

Clear the denominators by multiplying the equation by

v(v - 15)

180v - 180(v - 15) = v(v - 15) \implies 2700 = v^2 - 15v

Simplifying rational expressions into standard quadratic form.

4

Rearrange into

v^2 - 15v - 2700 = 0

and factor to solve for

v

The sum of all valid real solutions is 4.

To solve

|x + 7| = 2x + 3

, we break the absolute value into two linear cases:

x + 7 = 2x + 3

giving

x = 4

, and

x + 7 = -(2x + 3)

giving

x = -\frac{10}{3}

. We must test both candidate solutions in the original equation because absolute value outputs must be non-negative. Testing

x = 4

gives

|11| = 11

, which is true. Testing

x = -\frac{10}{3}

gives

|\frac{11}{3}| = -\frac{11}{3}

, which is false because an absolute value cannot equal a negative number. Thus,

x = 4

is the only valid solution, making the sum of all valid solutions equal to

4

.

Set up the two linear cases for the absolute value equation

Case 1:

By definition,

|A| = B

A = B

A = -B

Solve Case 1 for

x + 7 = -2x - 3 \implies 3x = -10 \implies x = -\frac{10}{3}

For

x = -\frac{10}{3}

Cevap: 144

Cevap

144

To find the least positive integer

n

that is a multiple of 12 and has 15 divisors, we examine the prime factorization of 12 (

2^2 \cdot 3^1

) and the divisor count formula

(e_1+1)(e_2+1)\dots = 15

. The number 15 factors as

5 \times 3

, implying

n

has the form

p^4 \cdot q^2

. Minimizing

n

requires placing the larger exponent on the smaller prime factor, so

p=2

and

q=3

, giving

n = 2^4 \cdot 3^2 = 144

.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Determine prime factor requirements for divisibility by 12.

Since

12 = 2^2 \cdot 3^1

,

n

must have prime factors 2 and 3 with exponents

a \ge 2

and

b \ge 1

.

Divisibility requires that all prime factors of the divisor appear in the dividend with equal or higher exponents.

2

Apply the divisor count formula to determine the exponent structure.

The total number of divisors is 15, which factors as

(4 + 1)(2 + 1) = 15

. Thus,

n = p^4 \cdot q^2

.

The number of positive divisors is given by

(e_1 + 1)(e_2 + 1) \dots = 15

.

3

Assign prime factors to minimize

n

.

Assigning the larger exponent 4 to the smaller prime 2 gives

2^4 \cdot 3^2 = 144

.

To minimize a product of prime powers, larger exponents should be paired with smaller prime bases.
