question:Let d_1, d_2, ... , d_k be the positive divisors of n = 1990! . Show that sum frac{d_i}{sqrt{n}} = sum frac{sqrt{n}}{d_i} .
answer:1. Let ( n = 1990! ). The positive divisors of ( n ) are denoted by ( d_1, d_2, ldots, d_k ). 2. Consider a divisor ( d_i ) of ( n ). By the definition of divisors, there exists another divisor ( d_j ) such that ( d_j = frac{n}{d_i} ). 3. Notice that for each ( d_i ), there is a corresponding ( d_j ) such that ( d_i cdot d_j = n ). This implies ( d_j = frac{n}{d_i} ). 4. We need to show that: [ sum_{i=1}^k frac{d_i}{sqrt{n}} = sum_{i=1}^k frac{sqrt{n}}{d_i} ] 5. Consider the left-hand side of the equation: [ sum_{i=1}^k frac{d_i}{sqrt{n}} ] Since ( d_i cdot d_j = n ), we can rewrite ( d_j ) as ( frac{n}{d_i} ). Therefore, the left-hand side becomes: [ sum_{i=1}^k frac{d_i}{sqrt{n}} = sum_{i=1}^k frac{d_i}{sqrt{n}} ] 6. Now consider the right-hand side of the equation: [ sum_{i=1}^k frac{sqrt{n}}{d_i} ] Using the fact that ( d_j = frac{n}{d_i} ), we can rewrite the right-hand side as: [ sum_{i=1}^k frac{sqrt{n}}{d_i} = sum_{i=1}^k frac{sqrt{n}}{frac{n}{d_i}} = sum_{i=1}^k frac{d_i}{sqrt{n}} ] 7. Since both sides of the equation are equal, we have: [ sum_{i=1}^k frac{d_i}{sqrt{n}} = sum_{i=1}^k frac{sqrt{n}}{d_i} ] (blacksquare)
question:3 buffaloes eat as much as 4 cows, 2 oxen, or 6 goats. At a farm, there are 15 buffaloes, 8 oxen, 24 cows, and 12 goats. The fodder for these animals is available for 48 days. If 80 more cows, 50 more buffaloes, 20 more oxen, and 30 more goats are brought in, how many days will the fodder last?
answer:First, let's find out the fodder consumption ratio for each type of animal based on the given information: 3 buffaloes = 4 cows = 2 oxen = 6 goats This means: 1 buffalo = 4/3 cows 1 buffalo = 2/3 oxen 1 buffalo = 6/3 goats = 2 goats Now, let's calculate the total fodder consumption for the current animals on the farm: 15 buffaloes = 15 * (4/3 cows) = 20 cows worth of fodder 8 oxen = 8 * (3/2 buffaloes) = 12 buffaloes worth of fodder = 12 * (4/3 cows) = 16 cows worth of fodder 24 cows = 24 cows worth of fodder 12 goats = 12 * (1/2 buffalo) = 6 buffaloes worth of fodder = 6 * (4/3 cows) = 8 cows worth of fodder Total fodder consumption in terms of "cow units" is: 20 (buffaloes) + 16 (oxen) + 24 (cows) + 8 (goats) = 68 cow units The fodder available is enough for 48 days for these animals. So, the total amount of fodder available is: 68 cow units * 48 days = 3264 cow unit-days Now, let's calculate the total fodder consumption for the additional animals: 80 more cows = 80 cows worth of fodder 50 more buffaloes = 50 * (4/3 cows) = 200/3 cows worth of fodder ≈ 66.67 cows worth of fodder 20 more oxen = 20 * (3/2 buffaloes) = 30 buffaloes worth of fodder = 30 * (4/3 cows) = 40 cows worth of fodder 30 more goats = 30 * (1/2 buffalo) = 15 buffaloes worth of fodder = 15 * (4/3 cows) = 20 cows worth of fodder Total additional fodder consumption in terms of "cow units" is: 80 (cows) + 66.67 (buffaloes) + 40 (oxen) + 20 (goats) = 206.67 cow units Now, let's add the additional animals to the current animals to get the new total fodder consumption: 68 (current cow units) + 206.67 (additional cow units) = 274.67 cow units Finally, let's find out how many days the fodder will last for all the animals: 3264 cow unit-days / 274.67 cow units = 11.88 days Therefore, the fodder will last for approximately boxed{11.88} days after the additional animals are brought in.
question:Amanda initially had 65 notebooks. This week, she ordered 23 more and then lost 15% of her total collection. How many notebooks does Amanda have now?
answer:First, let's find out how many notebooks Amanda had after ordering more but before losing any: Initial notebooks: 65 Ordered more: 23 Total before loss: 65 + 23 = 88 notebooks Now, let's calculate how many notebooks she lost: 15% of 88 notebooks = 0.15 * 88 = 13.2 notebooks Since Amanda can't lose a fraction of a notebook, we'll round this to the nearest whole number. Depending on the context, you might round down to 13 notebooks (since you typically can't lose part of a physical notebook), or round up to 14 notebooks (if the percentage represents a statistical average over many instances). Let's assume we round down to 13 notebooks for this calculation. Now, let's find out how many notebooks Amanda has after the loss: Total after loss: 88 - 13 = 75 notebooks So, Amanda has boxed{75} notebooks now.
question:Given vectors overrightarrow{a}=(3,1), overrightarrow{b}=(1,1), and overrightarrow{c}=overrightarrow{a}+koverrightarrow{b}. If overrightarrow{a} is perpendicular to overrightarrow{c}, find the value of k.
answer:Given: - overrightarrow{a}=(3,1) - overrightarrow{b}=(1,-1) - overrightarrow{c}=overrightarrow{a}+koverrightarrow{b} Since vectors overrightarrow{a} and overrightarrow{c} are perpendicular, their dot product equals zero. This can be formulated as overrightarrow{a} cdot overrightarrow{c} = 0. We expand overrightarrow{c} based on its definition: overrightarrow{c} = overrightarrow{a} + koverrightarrow{b} = (3,1) + k(1,-1) = (3+k, 1-k) Now, applying the dot product of overrightarrow{a} and overrightarrow{c}: overrightarrow{a} cdot overrightarrow{c} = (3,1) cdot (3+k, 1-k) = 3(3+k) + 1(1-k) Simplifying the dot product expression gives: 9 + 3k + 1 - k = 10 + 2k Setting the equation equal to zero (because overrightarrow{a} and overrightarrow{c} are perpendicular): 10 + 2k = 0 Solving for k involves isolating k: 2k = -10 k = frac{-10}{2} k = -5 Therefore, the value of k that satisfies the condition is k = boxed{-5}.
