1. For non-zero real numbers $a,$ $b,$ and $c,$ find all possible values of the expression \[\frac{a}{|a|} + \frac{b}{|b|} + \frac{c}{|c|} + \frac{abc}{|abc|}.\]Enter your values separated by commas. For example, if you think the possible values are 4, 5, and 6, then enter you answer as "4,5,6".

Problem 1

Case 1: All three numbers are positive. Then ∣a∣=a, ∣b∣=b, and ∣c∣=c, so the expression is equal to [a/a + b/b + c/c + abc/abc = 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 = \boxed{4}.]

Case 2: Two of the numbers are negative and one is positive. Without loss of generality, assume that a and b are negative and c is positive. Then ∣a∣=−a, ∣b∣=−b, and ∣c∣=c, so the expression is equal to [\frac{-a}{-a} + \frac{-b}{-b} + \frac{c}{c} + \frac{-abc}{-abc} = 1 + 1 + 1 - 1 = \boxed{2}.]

Case 3: All three numbers are negative. Then ∣a∣=−a, ∣b∣=−b, and ∣c∣=−c, so the expression is equal to [\frac{-a}{-a} + \frac{-b}{-b} + \frac{-c}{-c} + \frac{-abc}{-abc} = 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 = \boxed{4}.]

Therefore, the possible values of the expression are 2 and 4.

Problem 2

 

 

We have \begin{align*} f(3!) &= \frac{1}{\log_3 (10!)} \ &= \frac{1}{\log_3 (10\cdot 9\cdot 8\cdot 7\cdot 6\cdot 5\cdot 4\cdot 3\cdot 2\cdot 1)} \ &= \frac{1}{\log_3 (3^6\cdot 2^6\cdot 5)} \ &= \frac{1}{6\log_3(3) + 6\log_3(2) + \log_3(5)} \ &= \frac{1}{6+6\cdot 0.699 + 0.431} \ &= \frac{1}{7.130} \ &= \boxed{\frac{100}{713}}. \end{align*}Similarly, \begin{align*} f(5!) &= \frac{1}{\log_5 (10!)} \ &= \frac{1}{\log_5 (5^6\cdot 2^6\cdot 3\cdot 2\cdot 1)} \ &= \frac{1}{6\log_5(5) + 6\log_5(2) + \log_5(3)} \ &= \frac{1}{6+6\cdot 0.431 + 0.176} \ &= \frac{1}{6.607} \ &= \boxed{\frac{150}{991}}. \end{align*}Finally, \begin{align*} f(7!) &= \frac{1}{\log_7 (10!)} \ &= \frac{1}{\log_7 (7^6\cdot 2^6\cdot 5\cdot 3\cdot 2\cdot 1)} \ &= \frac{1}{6\log_7(7) + 6\log_7(2) + \log_7(5)} \ &= \frac{1}{6+6\cdot 0.301 + 0.176} \ &= \frac{1}{6.477} \ &= \boxed{\frac{150}{972}}. \end{align*}

 

Therefore, f(3!)+f(5!)+f(7!) = 400/2777​.
