Probability Problem from AMC 10A - 2020 - Problem No. 15

What is Probability?

The Probability theory, a branch of mathematics concerned with the analysis of random phenomena. The outcome of a random event cannot be determined before it occurs, but it may be any one of several possible outcomes. The actual outcome is considered to be determined by chance.

Try the Problem from AMC 10 - 2020

A positive integer divisor of 12! is chosen at random. The probability that the divisor chosen is a perfect square can be expressed as $\frac {m}{n}$, where m and n are relatively prime positive integers. What is m+n ?

Use some hints

If you really need any hint try this out:

The prime factorization of 12! is $2^{10}\cdot 3^{5}\cdot 5^{2}\cdot 7\cdot 11$

This yields a total of $ 11\cdot 6 \cdot 3 \cdot 2 \cdot 2 $ divisors of 12!.

In order to produce a perfect square divisor, there must be an even exponent for each number in the prime factorization.

Again 7 and 11 can not be in the prime factorization of a perfect square because there is only one of each in 12!. Thus, there are $6 \cdot 3\cdot 2$ perfect squares.

I think you already got the answer but if you have any doubt use the last hint :

So the probability that the divisor chosen is a perfect square is $\frac {6.3 . 2}{11 . 6. 3. 2. 2} = \frac {1}{22}$

$\frac {m}{n} = \frac {1}{22} $

m+n = 1+22 = 23.

Area of a Triangle - AMC 10A, 2020 - Problem- 12

What is the Area of Triangle ?

The area of a Triangle is defined as the total space that is enclosed by any particular triangle. The basic formula to find the area of a given triangle is A = 1/2 × b × h, where b is the base and h is the height of the given triangle, whether it is scalene, isosceles or equilateral. Also the area of Quadrilateral is defined as the half of the product of the length of the diagonals

Try the problem from AMC 10 (2020)

Triangle AMC is isosceles with AM = AC. Medians $\overline {MV}$ and $\overline {CU}$ are perpendicular to each other, and $MV = CU =12 $ . What is the area of $\triangle {AMC}$ ?

Use some hints

We can imagine the portion $UVCM$ to be a quadrilateral having perpendicular diagonals .So its area can be found as half of the product of the length of the diagonals .

Again : - $\triangle AUV $ has $\frac {1}{4}$ of the triangle

$AMC $ by similarity.

So, $UVVM = \frac {3}{4} AMC $

$\frac {1}{2} .12.12 = \frac {3}{4} AMC $

$72 = \frac {3}{4} AMC $

$AMC = 96 $

Surface Area of a Cube - AMC 10A (2020)

What is Surface Area of Cube

The surface area of a cube is the area of the six squares that cover it. The area of one of them is a*a, or a ² . Since these are all the same, you can multiply one of them by six, so the surface area of a cube is 6 times one of the sides squared.

Try the problem

This problem is from AMC 10.....

Seven cubes, whose volumes are 1,8,27,64,125,216 and 343 and cubic units, are stacked vertically to form a tower in which the volumes of the cubes decrease from bottom to top. Except for the bottom cube, the bottom face of each cube lies completely on top of the cube below it. What is the total surface area of the tower (including the bottom) in square units?

$\textbf{(A)}\ 644\qquad\textbf{(B)}\ 658\qquad\textbf{(C)}\ 664\qquad\textbf{(D)}\ 720\qquad\textbf{(E)}\ 749$

Knowledge Graph

Use some hints

The first hint can be

The volume of each cube follows the pattern of $n^3$ ascending , for n is between 1 and 7.

For a cube it has three parts : the tops of the cube , the sides of the cube and the bottom of the $7 \times 7 \times 7 $ cube (which is just $ 7 \times 7 = 49$)

The sides areas can be measured as the sum $ 4 \sum_{n=0}^{7} n^{2}$ giving 560.

Structurally, if we examine the tower from the top, we see that it really just forms a $7 \times 7 $ square of area 49.

I think you have already got the answer for this problem but if not here is the last hint that we can use

that the total surface area is $ 560 + 49 + 49 = 658 $ which is the final answer for this sum.

Arithmetic Mean Problem - AMC 10 (2020)

What is Arithmetic Mean?

The arithmetic mean is the simplest and most widely used measure of a mean, or average. It simply involves taking the sum of a group of numbers, then dividing that sum by the count of the numbers used in the series.

Try the problem from AMC 10

The numbers 3,5,7,a and b have an average of 15. What is the average of a and b ?

Knowledge Graph

Use some hints

Here is the first hint for this sum:

Try to find the arithmetic mean of the given numbers

i.e : $\frac {3+5+7+a+b}{5}$

=$\frac {15+a+b}{5}$

Now the arithmetic mean that we found in hint is actually equal to 15 given in the problem..

so $\frac {15+a+b}{5} = 15$

$a+b = 60 $

So final step will be : if we divide the expression of hint 2 we can find the average of a and b

Answer : $\frac {60}{2} = 30 $

Try it first!

[/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title="Hint 1" _builder_version="3.23.3"]Try to think how to find the intersection points using these two given equation $latex y=2x^3+6x+1 $ and $latex y=-3/x^{2} $

[/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title="Hint 2" _builder_version="3.23.3"]Try to compare the two values of y e.g.$latex 2x^3+6x+1=-3/x^{2}$ Do we get two factors $latex 2x^3+1=0 $ and $latex x^2+3=0$

[/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title="Hint 3" _builder_version="3.23.3"]

At end as we will consider only $latex 2x^3+1=0 $ as $latex x^2+3>0$

[/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title="Hint 4" _builder_version="3.23.3"]

Thus we will get the value of x and from there we can find the value of y and we will get the answer. $latex (\frac{-1}{\sqrt [3]{2}}, \frac{-3}{\sqrt [3]{4}}) $

So the number distinct point will be 1
