question:The teacher told the six different factors of a twodigit number to six intelligent and honest students, named A to F respectively. A and B simultaneously said: We know what the number is. C and D simultaneously said: After listening to them, we also know what the number is. E: After listening to them, I know my number must be larger than F's number. F: My number is between C's and D's numbers. The sum of the numbers held by the six students is: A. 141 B. 152 C. 171 D. 175
answer:1. **Identify the position and relationship of the six numbers**: According to the problem, we have a series of numbers given to six students: A sim F. Each student has different numbers, and there are specific interrelations and the way students respond to these numbers. 2. **Extract Information from Responses**: - A and B say they know the number after their turn. - After hearing A and B, C and D also claim they know the number. - E mentions that they have a strictly larger number than F. - F says their number is between the numbers C and D. 3. **Analyzing the Constraints**: - A and B's statements indicate they are able to identify their positions uniquely in the sequence. This implies A and B have larger or distinct numbers than the following cases. This can also be assumed for C and D. Thus: - Assume A > B > C > D > E > F. - From E and F's statement: - E's number is larger than F. - F's number is between C and D. 4. **Determine a suitable number set:**: - Since each student has a distinct value and the statements are valid, consider typical unique values known (common divisors or harmonic numbers). Following the simplest arithmetic progression or set of simple common factors yields: - Numbers could be derived from distinct, smaller factorial components or primes. 5. **Summing up the proposed values**: - Consider a plausible set of numbers, where these values fulfill all the preceding conditions regarding order, uniqueness, and logical deduction of numerical sequence: - Suppose: [ A Rightarrow 70 text{ (largest common numbers factor)} ] [ B Rightarrow 35 ] [ C Rightarrow 14 ] [ D Rightarrow 10 text{ (sequence between (C) and (D))} ] [ E Rightarrow 7 text{ (greater than (F))} ] [ F Rightarrow 5 text{ (smallest factor)} ] 6. **Sum these values**: [ 70 + 35 + 14 + 10 + 7 + 5 = 141 ] # Conclusion: (boxed{A})
question:A large rectangular region measures 15 by 24 units. If onethird of this rectangle is shaded, and within this shaded area, half is further distinctly marked, what fraction of the large rectangular region is distinctly marked? A) frac{1}{8} B) frac{1}{6} C) frac{1}{4} D) frac{1}{3}
answer:1. **Calculate the total area of the rectangle**: The rectangle has dimensions of 15 by 24 units. Therefore, its total area is: [ text{Area} = 15 times 24 = 360 text{ square units} ] 2. **Determine the area of the shaded region**: One-third of the rectangle is shaded. Thus, the area of this shaded region is: [ text{Area of shaded region} = frac{1}{3} times 360 = 120 text{ square units} ] 3. **Calculate the area of the distinctly marked region within the shaded area**: Half of this shaded area is distinctly marked. Therefore, the area of the distinctly marked region is: [ text{Area of distinctly marked region} = frac{1}{2} times 120 = 60 text{ square units} ] 4. **Find the fraction of the large rectangle that is distinctly marked**: The fraction of the large rectangle that is distinctly marked is calculated as follows: [ text{Fraction of distinctly marked area} = frac{text{Area of distinctly marked region}}{text{Area of large rectangle}} = frac{60}{360} = frac{1}{6} ] 5. **Conclusion**: The fraction of the large rectangular region that is distinctly marked is frac{1}{6}. Therefore, the correct answer is frac{1}{6}, which will be shown as: [ frac{1{6}} ] The correct answer is B) boxed{frac{1}{6}}.
question:The monotonic decreasing interval of the function f(x) = frac{x^2}{x1} is __________.
answer:First, we find the derivative of f(x): f'(x) = frac{x^2 - 2x}{(x-1)^2} = frac{x(x-2)}{(x-1)^2}. Solving f'(x) leq 0, we get 0 leq x < 1 or 1 < x leq 2. Therefore, the monotonic decreasing intervals of the original function are [0, 1) and (1, 2]. Hence, the answer is: boxed{[0, 1), (1, 2]}. By deriving the function to get f'(x) = frac{x(x-2)}{(x-1)^2}, we only need to solve f'(x) leq 0 to find the monotonic decreasing intervals of f(x). This problem examines the method of finding the monotonic intervals of a function based on its derivative, the formula for the derivative of a quotient, and the method of solving fractional inequalities.
question:Given that 3sinalpha cosalpha = 0, 7sinbeta + cosbeta = 0, and 0 < alpha < frac{pi}{2} < beta < pi, find the value of 2alpha beta. The options are: A: frac{5pi}{4} B: frac{pi}{3} C: frac{pi}{4} D: frac{3pi}{4}
answer:From the given condition 3sinalpha - cosalpha = 0, we find: [ tanalpha = frac{1}{3}. ] Using the double-angle formula for tangent, we get: [ tan(2alpha) = frac{2tanalpha}{1-tan^2alpha} = frac{2 times frac{1}{3}}{1 - left(frac{1}{3}right)^2} = frac{3}{4}. ] From the given condition 7sinbeta + cosbeta = 0, we find: [ tanbeta = -frac{1}{7}. ] Given the intervals for alpha and beta, 2alpha falls in the interval (0, pi) and 2alpha - beta falls in the interval (-pi, 0). Using the formula for the tangent of the difference of two angles, we get: [ tan(2alpha - beta) = frac{tan(2alpha) - tan(beta)}{1 + tan(2alpha) tan(beta)} = frac{frac{3}{4} + frac{1}{7}}{1 + left(frac{3}{4}right) times left(-frac{1}{7}right)} = 1. ] Since tan(2alpha - beta) = 1 and 2alpha - beta lies within the interval (-pi, 0), the value of 2alpha - beta that corresponds to tan(2alpha - beta) = 1 is: [ boxed{- frac{3pi}{4}}. ] Therefore, the correct answer is option D.
