A maritime patrol boat departs from its home harbor to secure coastal waters. It first sails $24\text{ km}$ strictly towards the West to investigate a radar blip. Finding nothing, it turns North and travels $7\text{ km}$ to a reported location. It then changes course, sailing $45\text{ km}$ East to follow a distress signal. Finally, it turns South and travels $27\text{ km}$ to successfully intercept the target. Calculate the exact straight-line distance from the home harbor to the interception point.

By resolving the boat's path into net vertical and horizontal components, we find its final position is

21\text{ km}

East and

20\text{ km}

South of its starting point. Using the Pythagorean theorem (

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

), the shortest straight-line distance is the hypotenuse:

\sqrt{21^2 + 20^2} = 29\text{ km}

Evaluate the exact positive remainder that results from dividing $5^{75} - 45$ by $126$ .

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 80

Cevap

The positive remainder is 80.

The exact remainder is determined using modular arithmetic rules. By noting that

5^3 = 125

, we see that

125 \equiv -1 \pmod{126}

. The expression

5^{75}

can be rewritten as

(5^3)^{25}

, which evaluates to

(-1)^{25} = -1

. Subtracting the constant

45

yields an intermediate remainder of

-46

. Because standard division requires a non-negative remainder, we must add the divisor (

126

) to

-46

, which results in

80

.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Relate the base of the exponential term to the divisor

5^3 = 125 \equiv -1 \pmod{126}

Finding a power of the base that equals 1 or -1 modulo the divisor significantly simplifies calculations with large exponents.

2

Express the given exponent in terms of the chosen power

5^{75} = (5^3)^{25}

This allows for direct substitution of the modular equivalent.

3

Evaluate the remainder of the exponential portion

(-1)^{25} = -1 \pmod{126}

Substituting

-1

for

125

makes evaluating the

25^{th}

power trivial.

4

Incorporate the constant term into the expression

-1 - 45 = -46 \pmod{126}

The full expression is

5^{75} - 45

, so the constant must be subtracted from the remainder of the exponential part.

5

Convert the negative remainder into a standard positive remainder

-46 + 126 = 80

Remainders must be non-negative. Adding the divisor to a negative remainder provides the correct equivalent positive remainder.

If the 9-digit number $94x257y36$ is exactly divisible by $88$ , what is the maximum possible value of the mathematical expression $(5x - 3y)$ ?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 27

Cevap

27

By applying the divisibility rules of 8 and 11, we isolate a finite set of possible digit combinations for x and y. Evaluating

(5x - 3y)

across all mathematically valid pairs proves that the pair

x=6, y=1

produces the highest numerical output of 27.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Determine the co-prime factors of the divisor.

The number must be divisible by 8 and 11, since 88 = 8 * 11 and GCD(8, 11) = 1.

Applying individual divisibility rules for co-prime factors is the standard method for composite divisors.

2

Apply the divisibility rule for 8 to the last three digits (

y36

).

The possible values for

y

are 1, 3, 5, 7, and 9.

A number is divisible by 8 if its last three digits form a multiple of 8. 136, 336, 536, 736, and 936 all yield a remainder of 0 when divided by 8.

3

Apply the divisibility rule for 11 to the entire number.

The expression

(x + y + 4)

must be a multiple of 11.

The rule for 11 requires the difference between the alternating sum of digits to be divisible by 11. Odd positions sum to

(20 + x + y)

and even positions sum to

16

. Difference =

(x + y + 4)

.

4

Find all valid

(x, y)

coordinate pairs.

The valid digit pairs are (6, 1), (4, 3), (2, 5), (0, 7), and (9, 9).

Since

x

and

y

are single digits between 0 and 9,

(x + y + 4)

can only equal 11 or 22. This implies

x + y = 7

or

x + y = 18

.

5

Evaluate the target expression

(5x - 3y)

for all valid pairs.

The values obtained are 27, 11, -5, -21, and 18 respectively. The absolute maximum is 27.

Testing all valid edge cases guarantees that the maximum possible value is correctly identified without assumptions.

At exactly 10:10 AM, the hour hand of a standard analog clock is mechanically locked in its precise current position. The minute hand is then manually rotated forward (clockwise) by exactly $210^{\circ}$ . Calculate the new angle (in degrees) formed between the hour and minute hands after this adjustment. Provide the smaller of the two possible angles.

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 35

Cevap

The smaller angle between the hands after the adjustment is 35 degrees.

The correct calculation properly tracks the absolute angular positions from the 12 o'clock reference, correctly adding the

5^{\circ}

proportional movement of the hour hand before finding the difference against the shifted minute hand.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Find the initial position of the minute hand at 10:10 AM relative to the 12 o'clock mark.

The minute hand is at the 10-minute mark. Since each minute is

6^{\circ}

, its position is

10 \times 6^{\circ} = 60^{\circ}

.

Establishing the starting angle of the minute hand is required before applying the rotation.

2

Find the exact initial position of the hour hand at 10:10 AM.

The 10 o'clock mark is at

10 \times 30^{\circ} = 300^{\circ}

. In 10 minutes, the hour hand drifts

10 \times 0.5^{\circ} = 5^{\circ}

. The exact position is

300^{\circ} + 5^{\circ} = 305^{\circ}

.

The hour hand continuously moves. It does not stay exactly on the 10 while the minute hand moves.

3

Calculate the new position of the minute hand after the manual rotation.

The new minute hand position is

60^{\circ} + 210^{\circ} = 270^{\circ}

.

The problem states the minute hand is pushed forward by exactly

210^{\circ}

.

4

Calculate the angle between the locked hour hand and the new minute hand position.

The difference is

305^{\circ} - 270^{\circ} = 35^{\circ}

.

Subtracting the smaller angular position from the larger one gives the acute interior angle between the hands.

Trees are planted in a single straight line along a newly constructed highway. An Oak tree is the $42^{\text{nd}}$ tree from the northern end of the line, and a Maple tree is the $58^{\text{th}}$ tree from the southern end. If there are exactly $18$ trees planted between the Oak tree and the Maple tree, what is the minimum possible total number of trees in this line?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 80

Cevap

80

To find the minimum possible number of trees, we must assume an overlapping scenario where the Maple tree is situated north of the Oak tree. In this arrangement, adding their positions from opposite ends (

42 + 58

) double-counts the

18

trees between them, as well as the Oak and Maple trees themselves. Therefore, the minimum total is

42 + 58 - (18 + 2) = 80

.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Identify the given positional values and the condition.

Oak tree = 42nd from North, Maple tree = 58th from South, trees between = 18.

These are the core variables needed to determine the total number of items in the line.

2

Determine the spatial arrangement required for a 'minimum' total.

The two trees must overlap. The Maple tree (counted from the South) must be located further North than the Oak tree (counted from the North).

If the positions do not overlap, we get the maximum possible number of trees. Overlapping them minimizes the total line length.

3

Apply the overlapping rank formula.

Total = (Position from one end) + (Position from other end) - (Number in between) - 2.

Adding the two ranks double-counts the items between them AND double-counts the two specific boundary items (the Oak and Maple trees) themselves.

4

Substitute the values and calculate the result.

Total = 42 + 58 - 18 - 2 = 100 - 20 = 80.

Computing the arithmetic expression gives the minimum number of trees.

In an advanced error-checking algorithm, a data packet's integrity is verified by calculating a specific numerical signature. This signature is defined as the remainder when the value $V = 112^{2029} - 122^{2026}$ is divided by $13$ . What is the numerical signature of this data packet?

Cevap: 9

Cevap

The numerical signature of the data packet is 9.

The expression evaluates to

-4 \pmod{13}

after simplifying the bases and exponents. Converting this to a valid positive remainder by adding the modulus

13

yields the correct answer,

9

.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Reduce the base 112 modulo 13.

112 = 13 \times 8 + 8

, so

112 \equiv 8 \pmod{13}

.

In modular arithmetic, bases can be replaced by their remainders to simplify exponentiation.

2

Reduce the base 122 modulo 13.

122 = 13 \times 9 + 5

, so

122 \equiv 5 \pmod{13}

.

This simplifies the second term of the expression.

3

Apply Fermat's Little Theorem to simplify the exponent for the first term.

Since 13 is prime,

a^{12} \equiv 1 \pmod{13}

. For

8^{2029}

, dividing

2029

by

12

leaves a remainder of

1

(

2029 = 12 \times 169 + 1

). Thus,

8^{2029} \equiv 8^1 = 8 \pmod{13}

.

Large powers can be reduced by finding the remainder of the exponent divided by

p-1

.

4

Apply Fermat's Little Theorem to simplify the exponent for the second term.

For

5^{2026}

, dividing

2026

by

12

leaves a remainder of

10

(

2026 = 12 \times 168 + 10

). Thus,

5^{2026} \equiv 5^{10} \pmod{13}

.

This reduces the exponent to a manageable size.

5

Evaluate

5^{10} \pmod{13}

.

Since

5^2 = 25 \equiv -1 \pmod{13}

, we calculate

5^{10} = (5^2)^5 \equiv (-1)^5 = -1 \equiv 12 \pmod{13}

.

Using negative remainders for intermediate steps significantly speeds up manual exponentiation.

6

Subtract the evaluated terms and find the final positive remainder.

8 - 12 = -4

. To find the positive remainder, add the modulus 13:

-4 + 13 = 9

.

The final remainder must be a non-negative integer strictly less than the divisor.

Anahtar Kavram

Modular arithmetic, Fermat's Little Theorem, and handling negative remainders.

Alternatif Yöntem

Instead of using Fermat's Little Theorem (mod 12), you can find the exact order of the bases. Notice that

8^2 = 64 \equiv -1 \pmod{13}

, so

8^4 \equiv 1 \pmod{13}

. Similarly,

5^2 = 25 \equiv -1 \pmod{13}

, so

5^4 \equiv 1 \pmod{13}

. Both bases have an order of 4 modulo 13. Dividing the exponents by 4:

2029 \div 4

leaves a remainder of 1, so

8^{2029} \equiv 8^1 = 8

.

2026 \div 4

leaves a remainder of 2, so

5^{2026} \equiv 5^2 = 25 \equiv -1 \equiv 12

. The final subtraction is

8 - 12 = -4 \equiv 9 \pmod{13}

. This method requires less calculation.

What is the total number of positive divisors of the integer $10800$ that are perfect squares?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 12

Cevap

12

The correct answer is found by prime factorizing

10800

into

2^4 \times 3^3 \times 5^2

. A factor is a perfect square only when its prime exponents are all even integers. Counting the available even exponents from 0 up to the maximum exponent for each prime gives 3 choices for base 2 (0, 2, 4), 2 choices for base 3 (0, 2), and 2 choices for base 5 (0, 2). Multiplying these independent choices gives

3 \times 2 \times 2 = 12

.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Find the prime factorization of

10800

.

10800 = 108 \times 100 = (2^2 \times 3^3) \times (2^2 \times 5^2) = 2^4 \times 3^3 \times 5^2

The prime factorization is necessary to systematically identify and count the divisors of the number based on exponent combinations.

2

Identify the mathematical condition for a divisor to be a perfect square.

A divisor

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

is a perfect square if and only if the exponents

a

,

b

, and

c

are all even integers.

Perfect squares must have even exponents in their prime factorization so that their square roots are integers.

3

List the valid even exponent values for each prime base.

For base 2 (max exponent 4), valid even values are 0, 2, 4 (3 options). For base 3 (max exponent 3), valid even values are 0, 2 (2 options). For base 5 (max exponent 2), valid even values are 0, 2 (2 options).

These are the exponents that keep the divisor as a perfect square while still remaining a factor of

10800

.

4

Calculate the total number of perfect square divisors.

A solid wooden cube is painted Black on two adjacent faces, while the remaining four faces are painted White. The large cube is then cut into $64$ identical smaller cubes. What is the total number of smaller cubes that have at least one Black face?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 28

Cevap

28

The large cube is divided into

64

smaller cubes, which means it forms a

4 \times 4 \times 4

grid. A single face of this large cube contains

4 \times 4 = 16

smaller cubes. Since two adjacent faces are painted Black, we count the cubes on both faces. The first face has

16

Black cubes. The second face also has

16

Black cubes, but it shares one edge with the first face. This shared edge consists of

4

smaller cubes. If we simply add

16 + 16 = 32

, we double-count the

4

cubes on the shared edge. Subtracting the overlap gives

32 - 4 = 28

unique smaller cubes that have at least one Black face.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Find the edge length of the large cube in terms of smaller cubes.

n = 4

The total number of smaller cubes is

64

, and the total volume of a cube is

n^3

. Therefore,

n = \sqrt[3]{64} = 4

.

2

Count the smaller cubes on the first Black face.

16

cubes

Each face of an

n \times n \times n

cube contains

n^2

smaller cubes. Here,

4^2 = 16

cubes.

3

Count the smaller cubes on the second Black face and identify the overlap.

The second face adds

16

cubes, but the two faces share an edge of

4

cubes.

Since the two Black faces are adjacent, they intersect along one edge. The cubes on this edge are counted as part of both faces.

Calculate the total unique cubes with at least one Black face.

An industrial control system tracks part serial numbers using a cyclic validation algorithm. A batch identifier $N$ is generated using the formula $N = 65^{202} - 32^{145} - 45$ . The system validates this batch by computing the positive remainder when $N$ is divided by the base modulus $33$ . What is the expected positive remainder for this batch?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 23

Cevap

The expected positive remainder is 23.

By applying the principles of modular arithmetic, we can simplify each term of the expression

65^{202} - 32^{145} - 45

modulo

33

. First,

65 \equiv -1 \pmod{33}

, so

65^{202} \equiv (-1)^{202} = 1

. Next,

32 \equiv -1 \pmod{33}

, so

32^{145} \equiv (-1)^{145} = -1

. Substituting these simplified values back into the expression yields

1 - (-1) - 45 = 2 - 45 = -43

. To find the positive remainder when dividing by

33

, we add a multiple of

33

(in this case,

66

) to

-43

, which results in

23

.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Express the base numbers

65

and

32

modulo

33

.

65 \equiv -1 \pmod{33}

and

32 \equiv -1 \pmod{33}

Finding remainders close to

1

or

-1

significantly simplifies the evaluation of large exponents.

2

Evaluate the first term,

65^{202}

modulo

33

.

(-1)^{202} = 1

An even power of a negative one results in positive one.

3

Evaluate the second term,

32^{145}

modulo

33

.

(-1)^{145} = -1

An odd power of a negative one results in negative one.

4

Substitute the simplified terms back into the original expression modulo

33

.

N \equiv 1 - (-1) - 45 \equiv 2 - 45 \equiv -43 \pmod{33}

Combines all parts of the expression to find the overall remainder before final normalization.

5

Convert the negative remainder into a valid positive remainder.

-43 \equiv -43 + 66 = 23 \pmod{33}

Remainders must be positive integers between

0

and the modulus minus one. Adding the smallest multiple of

33

that is greater than

43

(which is

66

) gives the valid positive remainder.
