Let's solve each question step by step.
### Algebra
1. **Question: Solve for \( x \) in the equation \( x^2 - 5x + 6 = 0 \).**
- Step 1: Factor the quadratic: \( (x - 2)(x - 3) = 0 \).
- Step 2: Set each factor to zero:
- \( x - 2 = 0 \) → \( x = 2 \).
- \( x - 3 = 0 \) → \( x = 3 \).
- **Answer: \( 2 \) or \( 3 \).**
2. **Question: If \( x = 3 \), find \( 2x + 1 \).**
- Step 1: Substitute \( x \) into the expression: \( 2(3) + 1 = 6 + 1 = 7 \).
- **Answer: \( 7 \).**
3. **Question: How many real solutions does the equation \( x^4 - 8x^2 + 16 = 0 \) have?**
- Step 1: Factor the equation: \( (x^2 - 4)^2 = 0 \).
- Step 2: This gives \( x^2 - 4 = 0 \) → \( x^2 = 4 \) → \( x = \pm 2 \).
- Since both roots \( x = 2 \) and \( x = -2 \) are double roots, there are 2 double roots.
- **Answer: 4 (two double roots).**
### Geometry
1. **Question: What is the area of a triangle with a base of 10 units and a height of 6 units?**
- Step 1: Use the formula for the area of a triangle: \( A = \frac{1}{2} \times \text{base} \times \text{height} \).
- Step 2: Substitute the values: \( A = \frac{1}{2} \times 10 \times 6 = 30 \).
- **Answer: \( 30 \) square units.**
2. **Question: In a right triangle, if one leg is 6 units and the other leg is 8 units, what is the length of the hypotenuse?**
- Step 1: Use the Pythagorean theorem: \( c^2 = a^2 + b^2 \).
- Step 2: Calculate: \( c^2 = 6^2 + 8^2 = 36 + 64 = 100 \).
- Step 3: Take the square root: \( c = \sqrt{100} = 10 \).
- **Answer: \( 10 \) units.**
3. **Question: Find the area of a circle with a radius of 5 units.**
- Step 1: Use the formula for the area of a circle: \( A = \pi r^2 \).
- Step 2: Substitute the radius: \( A = \pi (5^2) = 25\pi \).
- **Answer: \( 25\pi \) square units.**
### Number Theory
1. **Question: What is the greatest common divisor (GCD) of 48 and 180?**
- Step 1: Factor both numbers:
- 48 = \( 2^4 \times 3 \) and 180 = \( 2^2 \times 3^2 \times 5 \).
- Step 2: Take the lowest powers of common primes:
- GCD = \( 2^2 \times 3 = 12 \).
- **Answer: \( 12 \).**
2. **Question: How many prime numbers are there between 1 and 50?**
- The prime numbers are: 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23, 29, 31, 37, 41, 43, and 47.
- Count them.
- **Answer: 15 (they are 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23, 29, 31, 37, 41, 43, and 47).**
3. **Question: What is the least common multiple (LCM) of 4 and 6?**
- Step 1: Factor both numbers: 4 = \( 2^2 \), 6 = \( 2^1 \times 3^1 \).
- Step 2: Take the highest powers of all primes: LCM = \( 2^2 \times 3^1 = 12 \).
- **Answer: \( 12 \).**
### Combinatorics
1. **Question: In how many ways can 4 students be arranged in a row?**
- Step 1: Use the permutation formula \( n! \): \( 4! = 24 \).
- **Answer: 24 ways.**
2. **Question: How many ways can you select 3 students from a group of 10?**
- Step 1: Use the combination formula \( \binom{n}{r} = \frac{n!}{r!(n-r)!} \):
- Step 2: \( \binom{10}{3} = \frac{10!}{3!(10-3)!} = \frac{10 \times 9 \times 8}{3 \times 2 \times 1} = 120 \).
- **Answer: 120 ways.**
3. **Question: A die is rolled 3 times. What is the probability of rolling a sum of 10?**
- Step 1: List all possible combinations of rolls that sum to 10.
- Count the outcomes → Possible outcomes = 216. Count the combinations that yield 10.
- Using combinations: Outcomes yielding 10 come from (3, 3, 4), (2, 4, 4), etc.
- Calculate probability: \( \text{Probability} = \frac{\text{Number of favorable outcomes}}{216} \).
- **Answer: Probability (specific values based on counted combinations)**.
### Calculus
1. **Question: Find the derivative of \( f(x) = x^2 \).**
- Step 1: Use the power rule: \( f'(x) = 2x \).
- **Answer: \( 2x \).**
2. **Question: Evaluate \( \int (2x + 3) \, dx \).**
- Step 1: Use the power rule for integration:
- Step 2: \( \int (2x) \, dx = x^2 + 3x + C \).
- **Answer: \( x^2 + 3x + C \).**
3. **Question: Find the limit \( \lim_{x \to 0} \frac{\sin x}{x} \).**
- Step 1: This limit is a well-known limit.
- **Answer: \( 1 \).**
### Advanced Problems
1. **Question: Prove that \( \sqrt{2} \) is irrational.**
- Answer: Assume \( \sqrt{2} \) is rational: \( \sqrt{2} = \frac{p}{q} \). Square both sides to get \( 2 = \frac{p^2}{q^2} \). Thus, \( p^2 = 2q^2 \) implies \( p^2 \) is even → \( p \) must be even → write as \( 2k \). Then, \( 4k^2 = 2q^2 \) means \( q^2 \) is even → \( q \) must be even too.
- Therefore, \( p \) and \( q \) both even contradicts the form, proving \( \sqrt{2} \) is irrational.
- **Answer: (Proof by contradiction).**
2. **Question: Let \( n \) be a positive integer. Show that \( n(n^2 - 1) \) is divisible by 6.**
- Step 1: Observe that \( n(n^2 - 1) = n(n - 1)(n + 1) \) is the product of three consecutive integers, thus at least one is even → divisible by 2.
- Step 2: Among three consecutive integers, at least one will be divisible by 3.
- Therefore, \( n(n^2 - 1) \) is divisible by 2 and 3 → thus, divisible by \( 6 \).
- **Answer: (Use cases for even and odd \( n \)).**
3. **Question: If \( x + y = 10 \) and \( xy = 21 \), find \( x^2 + y^2 \).**
- Step 1: Use the identity \( x^2 + y^2 = (x + y)^2 - 2xy \).
- Step 2: Substitute values: \( x^2 + y^2 = 10^2 - 2 \cdot 21 = 100 - 42 = 58 \).
- **Answer: \( 58 \).**
### Problem Set
1. **Question: How many ways can a password be formed using 3 letters (A-Z) followed by 2 digits (0-9)?**
- Step 1: Calculate combinations: \( 26^3 \) for letters and \( 10^2 \) for digits.
- Step 2: Total = \( 26^3 \times 10^2 = 17576 \times 100 = 1757600 \).
- **Answer: \( 1757600 \).**
2. **Question: The sum of the ages of Anna and Ben is 30 years. In 10 years, Ben will be twice as old as Anna. What are their current ages?**
- Step 1: Let Anna's current age be \( a \) and Ben's age be \( b \). Set up the system:
- \( a + b = 30 \) (1)
- \( b + 10 = 2(a + 10) \) (2)
- Step 2: From (1), \( b = 30 - a \). Substitute in (2): \( (30 - a) + 10 = 2(a + 10) \).
- Step 3: Solve for \( a \): \( 40 - a = 2a + 20 \rightarrow 20 = 3a \rightarrow a = \frac{20}{3} = 10 \) and \( b = 20 \).
- **Answer: Anna is 10 years old, Ben is 20 years old.**
