Answer Kye & Solutions
1. D

Sol. Call the midpoint of and the midpoint of . is the median of triangle . The
2a2 + 2b2 − c 2
formula for the length of a median is m = , where , , and are the side lengths of triangle,
4
and is the side that is bisected by median . The formula is a direct result of the Law of Cosines applied
twice with the angles formed by the median (Stewart's Theorem). We can also get this formula from the
parallelogram law, that the sum of the squares of the diagonals is equal to the squares of the sides of a
parallelogram.
We first find , which is the median of CAB.

Now we must find , which is the median of .

Now that we know the sides of , we proceed to find the length of .

Sol. First, we need to recognize that a number is going to be lowest only if, of the factors, two of them are
small. If we want to make sure that this is correct, we could test with a smaller number, like . It becomes
much more clear that this is true, and in this situation, the value of would be . Now, we use
this process on 2001 to get 667*3*1 as our factors. Hence, we have 667+3+1 = 671

Sol. Let D be the intersection of the altitude with , and be the length of the altitude. Without loss of
generality, let BD = 17 and CD=3. Then tanDAB = 17/h and tanCAD = 3/h . Using the tangent sum
formula,

Sol. For simplicity, let f(x) = ax17 + bx16+1 and g(x) = x2 – x – 1. Notice that the roots of g(x) are also roots of f(x).
Let these roots be u, v. We get the system.

If we multiply the first equation by v16 and the second by u16 we get

Now subtracting, we get

Another way is to solve the equation for giving b = a/(a+1) then substituting this into the expression and
simplifying gives the answer of

2. 60

Sol. The logarithmic notation doesn't tell us much, so we'll first convert everything to the equivalent
exponential forms.
, , and . If we now convert everything to a power of , it will be easy
to isolate and .
, , and .
With some substitution, we get and .
3. 20

Sol. If we were to expand by squaring, we would get a quartic polynomial, which isn't always the easiest thing
to deal with. Instead, we substitute for , so that the equation
becomes . Now we can square; solving for y, we get y = 10 or y = −6. The second root is
extraneous since 2 y + 15 is always non-negative (and moreover, plugging in y = −6, we get ,
which is obviously false). Hence, we have y =10 as the only solution for . Substituting x2 + 18x + 30 back in
for y.

Both of the roots of this equation are real, since its discriminant is , which is positive.
Thus by Vieta's formulas, the product of the real roots is simply .

Sol. We can rewrite the numerator to be a perfect square by adding − . Thus, we must also add

Thus, if , then the minimum is obviously . We show this possible with the same
methods in Solution 1; thus, the answer is 012.
