    TEAM PROBLEMS

    February, 2001

    Instructions: Answer as many of the problems below as you can. At the end of the time
    allotted, turn in a list of your answers. Your answers should be expressed in simplest form.
    Exact answers are required on all problems.

    1. What is the maximum value of the function


    3 cos 2 sin ?
    2. There are 6 people in a room. Each person randomly chooses a positive integer 20.
    What is the probability that some two of the people choose the same number? Express
    your answer as an exact decimal.
    3. The largest known explicit example of a prime number is currently 26972593 1. How many
    digits does it have?
    4. Let P be a point in an equilateral triangle with each side of length 1. Let h1 , h2 , and
    h3 be the distances from P to the three sides of the triangle. What are all the possible
    values for h1 + h2 + h3 ?
    5. Suppose that f (x) is a polynomial of degree 5 and with leading coefficient 2001. Suppose
    further that
    f (1) = 1,

    f (2) = 3,

    f (3) = 5,

    f (4) = 7,

    and f (5) = 9.

    What is the value of f (6)?


    6. Suppose x and y are real numbers such that
    2x2 + y 2 2xy + 12y + 72 0.
    What is the value of x2 y?
    Solutions are located at the website http://www.math.sc.edu/~filaseta/contests/contests.html

    7. A triangle has two sides of length 5 and one side of length 6. A rectangle R is formed
    with one edge on the side of length 6 and a vertex (or corner point) on each of the other
    two sides. What is the maximum possible value for the area of R?
    8. Let
    N = 1096 1080 + 1064 1048 + 1032 1016 + 1.
    Then

    1
    = 0.d1 d2 d3 . . . dr
    N
    (so that the block of digits d1 d2 d3 . . . dr repeats indefinitely). There is more than one
    value of r for which such digits d1 , d2 , . . . , dr exist. If the smallest such r is k, then it is
    known (and not so hard to show) that every such value of r is divisible by k. What is the
    value of k?
