Test 1
Submit full solutions and proofs to each of the problems below, even if they only ask for
numerical answers. Submit di↵erent problems on di↵erent sheets of paper. Write your
name on each sheet of paper, and clearly indicate which problem your solution corre-
sponds to. You may work on this exam until 11:59 pm Pacific time on Saturday. There
are no other time restrictions. Each problem is worth 7 points, and partial credit will be
rewarded for partial progress.

Please do not use any reference materials for this test: no internet, no notes, no hand-

h
outs, no books, and no consultation with other people. Questions are probably not in
order of difficulty, as they have been alphabetized.

1. Compute the number of quadratic functions f (x) = ax2 + bx + c with integer roots
and integer coefficients whose graphs pass through the points (0, 0) and (15, 225).

2. Knowing that the system eM


x + y + z = 3,
x + y 3 + z 3 = 15,
3

x4 + y 4 + z 4 = 35,
om
has a real solution x, y, z for which x2 + y 2 + z 2 < 10, find the value of x5 + y 5 + z 5
for that solution.

5. The graph of y = x6 10x5 + 29x4 4x3 + ax2 lies above the line y = bx + c except
at three values of x, where the graph and the line intersect. What is the largest of
these values?
