Thank you so much for the help! The diagram really helped me understand the answer more throughly! 

The angle just below 'x' is 75^o

'x' and 75⁰ form a straight line = 180^o

As follows:

Nevermind, I've figured it out. :)

Solve

\(\dfrac{x^2 + 2x}{x^2 - 4x} < 0\)

zero in numerator:

\(\begin{array}{|rcll|} \hline x^2 + 2x &=& 0 \\ x(x + 2) &=& 0 \\ \hline x= 0 &\text{or}& x=-2 \\ \hline \end{array} \)

zero in denominator:

\(\begin{array}{|rcll|} \hline x^2 - 4x &=& 0 \\ x(x -4) &=& 0 \\ \hline x= 0 &\text{or}& x=4 \\ \hline \end{array}\)

\(\begin{array}{|r|c|c|c|c|c|c|c|} \hline & (-\infty,-2) & -2 & (-2,0) & 0 & (0,4) & 4 & (4,+\infty) \\ \hline x^2 + 2x & +&0&-&0&+&+&+\\ x^2 - 4x & +&+&+&0&-&0&+\\ \hline \text{fraction} & + & 0 & - & / & - & / & + \\ \hline \end{array}\)

\(-2 < x < 0\) and \(0 < x < 4\)

Area of circle       A₁ = pi            area of  A₄ = 10 pi

A hexagon is circumscribed about a circle with circumference 8*pi.  What is the perimeter of the hexagon?

Four circles are drawn.
Let \(A_1, A_2, A_3, A_4\) be the areas of the regions, so
\(A_1 \)is the area inside the smallest circle,
\(A_2\) is the area outside the smallest circle and inside the second-smallest circle, and so on.
The areas satisfy
\(A_1 = \frac{A_2}{2} = \frac{A_3}{3} = \frac{A_4}{4}\)
Let \(r_1\) denote the radius of the smallest circle, and let \(r_4\) denote the radius of the largest circle. Find \(\frac{r_4}{r_1}\).

My attempt:

\(\text{Let $A_{\circ_{1} }= \pi r_1^2$ } \\ \text{Let $A_{\circ_{4} } = \pi r_4^2$ } \)

\(\begin{array}{|llcll|} \hline & 1*A_1 &=& A_{\circ_{1}} \\ & 2*A_1 = A_2 &=& A_{\circ_{2}}- A_{\circ_{1}} \\ & 3*A_1 = A_3 &=& A_{\circ_{3}}- A_{\circ_{2}} \\ & 4*A_1 = A_4 &=& A_{\circ_{4}}- A_{\circ_{3}} \\ \hline \text{sum}: & 10A_1&=& A_{\circ_{1}}+A_{\circ_{2}} - A_{\circ_{1}}+A_{\circ_{3}} - A_{\circ_{2}}+A_{\circ_{4}} - A_{\circ_{3}} \\ & 10A_1&=& A_{\circ_{4}} \quad | \quad A_1 = A_{\circ_{1}} \\ & 10A_{\circ_{1}}&=& A_{\circ_{4}} \\ & 10\pi r_1^2&=& \pi r_4^2 \\ & 10r_1^2 &=& r_4^2 \\\\ & \dfrac{r_4^2}{r_1^2} &=& 10 \\\\ & \mathbf{\dfrac{r_4}{r_1}} &=& \mathbf{\sqrt{10}} \\ \hline \end{array} \)

17. What is the value of two numbers if their sum is 120 and their difference is 140?

In triangle PQR, PQ=13, QR=14, and PR=15. Let M be the midpoint of QR. Find PM.

Let angle PRQ be  >β<

1)   Let's find β  first:             cos(β) = (15² + 14² - 13²) / 2*15*14       β = 53.13°

2)   Now we can find  PM      (PM)² = 7² + 15² - 2*7*15 * cos(β)    

                                                 PM = 12.166     

Find the sum of the x-coordinates of the solutions to the system of equations  y = |x^2-6x+5| and y = (29/4)-x .

Be careful - there are three solutions.  This graph should help you find them.  Simply equating the two functions, but ignoring the absolute value part of the first function will give you two of the solutios.  You need to be more careful to get the solution between x = 1 and x = 5 though.

Find the sum of the divisors of 6561.

sum: \(1 + 3 + 9 + 27 + 81 + 243 + 729 + 2187 + 6561 = \mathbf{9841}\)

Here's a hint.

You have 3 white balls chosen, at least 2 right. So keep in mind, OR superball

You miss all 3 white balls if your ticket contains 3 of the 7 white numbers that were not drawn, so there are \(\binom{7}{3}\) possibilities.

You hit 1 white ball and miss the others if your ticket contains 1 of the 3 white numbers that were drawn and 2 of the 7 white numbers that were not drawn, so there are \(3 \binom{7}{2}\)

You miss the SuperBall if you have one of the 9 blue numbers that were not drawn.

What can you do with this information?

:)

Remember what these numbers mean.

(possibilities of NOT losing)

Good luck, hope you can figure this one out. 

AoPS questions are indeed hard.
