In ABC with a right angle at C,

point D lies in the interior of AB and

point E lies in the interior of BC so that

AC=CD, DE=EB, and the ratio AC:DE = 4:3.

What is the ratio AD:DB?

Let ¯AC=¯CD=x Let ¯DE=¯EB=y Let ¯AD=s Let ¯DB=t 

 

Let CAD=ADC=α Let ABC=EDB=90α Let DCA=1802α Let ECD=90DCA=90(1802α)=2α90 Let BED=1802(90α)=2α Let DEC=180BED=1802α 

 

CDE=180ECDDEC=180(2α90)(1802α)=90 !

 

cos-rule in ACD

x2=x2+s22xscos(α)2xscos(α)=s22xcos(α)=s(1)

An ant moves on the following lattice, beginning at the dot labeled A.
Each minute he moves to one of the dots neighboring the dot he was at, choosing from among its neighbors at random.
What is the probability that after 5 minutes he is at the dot labeled B ?

[x/2]+[x/4]+[x/8]+507=x

[x/2],[x/4],[x/8]- INTEGER DIVISIONS!!!

 

I assume the "Floor Function": x2+x4+x8+507=x

 

So x is an integer.

 

We rearrange:

4x8+2x8+x8+507=x

 

We substitute: y=x8
4y+2y+y+507=x

 

The fractional part of y is α and 0<α<1 The integer part of y is n So y=n+αx=8y=8(n+α)=8n+8α

 

4(n+α)+2(n+α)+n+α+507=8n+8α4n+4α+2n+2α+n+α+507=8n+8α

 

We divide alpha into 8 parts: 

0<α<18, 18α<28, 28α<38, 38α<48, 48α<58, 58α<68, 68α<78, 78α<88
