question:What is the smallest positive integer that is a multiple of both 45 and 75 but not a multiple of 20?
answer:First, we need to find the LCM of 45 and 75. The prime factorization of 45 is 3^2 cdot 5, and for 75, it is 3 cdot 5^2. To find the LCM, we take the highest power of all prime factors present: - For 3, the highest power is 3^2. - For 5, the highest power is 5^2. Thus, the LCM of 45 and 75 is 3^2 cdot 5^2 = 9 cdot 25 = 225. Next, we check if 225 is divisible by 20. Since 20 is 2^2 cdot 5, and 225 does not contain the factor 2, it is not divisible by 20. Therefore, the smallest positive integer that is a multiple of both 45 and 75 but not a multiple of 20 is boxed{225}.
question:Given that overset{→}{a} and overset{→}{b} are unit vectors, and |overset{→}{a} + overset{→}{b}| = sqrt{2}|overset{→}{a} overset{→}{b}|, the projection of overset{→}{a} on overset{→}{a} + overset{→}{b} is ( ). A: dfrac{1}{3} B: dfrac{2 sqrt{6}}{3} C: dfrac{ sqrt{6}}{3} D: dfrac{2 sqrt{2}}{3}
answer:Let's denote the projection of overset{→}{a} on overset{→}{a} + overset{→}{b} as text{proj}_{overset{→}{a} + overset{→}{b}}overset{→}{a}. The formula for the projection of a vector overset{→}{a} onto another vector overset{→}{b} is given by: text{proj}_{overset{→}{b}}overset{→}{a} = frac{overset{→}{a} cdot overset{→}{b}}{|overset{→}{b}|^2} overset{→}{b} In this case, overset{→}{b} = overset{→}{a} + overset{→}{b}, so we have: text{proj}_{overset{→}{a} + overset{→}{b}}overset{→}{a} = frac{overset{→}{a} cdot (overset{→}{a} + overset{→}{b})}{|overset{→}{a} + overset{→}{b}|^2} (overset{→}{a} + overset{→}{b}) Since overset{→}{a} and overset{→}{b} are unit vectors, |overset{→}{a}| = |overset{→}{b}| = 1. Also, given that |overset{→}{a} + overset{→}{b}| = sqrt{2}|overset{→}{a} - overset{→}{b}|, we can square both sides to get rid of the square root: |overset{→}{a} + overset{→}{b}|^2 = 2|overset{→}{a} - overset{→}{b}|^2 Expanding both sides, we get: overset{→}{a} cdot overset{→}{a} + 2overset{→}{a} cdot overset{→}{b} + overset{→}{b} cdot overset{→}{b} = 2(overset{→}{a} cdot overset{→}{a} - 2overset{→}{a} cdot overset{→}{b} + overset{→}{b} cdot overset{→}{b}) Simplifying this expression, we get: 3overset{→}{a} cdot overset{→}{b} = 1 So, overset{→}{a} cdot overset{→}{b} = dfrac{1}{3}. Substituting this back into our projection formula, we get: text{proj}_{overset{→}{a} + overset{→}{b}}overset{→}{a} = frac{dfrac{1}{3} + 1}{|overset{→}{a} + overset{→}{b}|^2} (overset{→}{a} + overset{→}{b}) From the given condition |overset{→}{a} + overset{→}{b}| = sqrt{2}|overset{→}{a} - overset{→}{b}|, we can find that |overset{→}{a} + overset{→}{b}| = sqrt{6}. Therefore, text{proj}_{overset{→}{a} + overset{→}{b}}overset{→}{a} = frac{dfrac{4}{3}}{sqrt{6}} (overset{→}{a} + overset{→}{b}) Finally, we can simplify this expression to get: text{proj}_{overset{→}{a} + overset{→}{b}}overset{→}{a} = boxed{frac{sqrt{6}}{3}}
question:Uncle Fyodor, cat Matroskin, Sharik, and postman Pechkin ate a cake (the whole cake was eaten in the end). Uncle Fyodor ate half as much as Pechkin, and cat Matroskin ate half as much as the portion of the cake that Pechkin did not eat. What fraction of the cake did postman Pechkin eat if Sharik ate only onetenth of the cake? (Answer in decimal form.)
answer:1. Let (x) be the portion of the cake eaten by Pechkin. According to the problem, Uncle Fyodor ate half the portion eaten by Pechkin, so Uncle Fyodor ate (frac{x}{2}). 2. The problem states that Cat Matroskin ate half the portion of the cake not eaten by Pechkin. The portion not eaten by Pechkin is (1 - x), so Cat Matroskin's portion is (frac{1 - x}{2}). 3. The sum of the portions eaten by Uncle Fyodor and Cat Matroskin, therefore, is: [ frac{x}{2} + frac{1 - x}{2} = frac{x + 1 - x}{2} = frac{1}{2} ] This means Uncle Fyodor and Cat Matroskin together ate half of the cake. 4. According to the problem, Sharik ate one-tenth of the cake, denoted as (0.1). 5. The total cake eaten by Pechkin and Sharik is half of the cake. Hence we write the equation: [ x + 0.1 = 0.5 ] 6. Solve for (x): [ x + 0.1 = 0.5 implies x = 0.5 - 0.1 implies x = 0.4 ] # Conclusion: The portion of the cake eaten by postman Pechkin is (boxed{0.4}).
question:Among the following lines, the one that is perpendicular to the line 2x+y+1=0 is ( ) A: 2xy1=0 B: x2y+1=0 C: x+2y+1=0 D: x+ frac {1}{2}y1=0
answer:Since the slope of the line 2x+y+1=0 is k_{1}=-2, the slope of the line perpendicular to 2x+y+1=0 is k_{2}= frac {-1}{k_{1}}= frac {1}{2}. Comparing options A, B, C, and D, only option B has a slope equal to frac {1}{2}. Therefore, the correct answer is: boxed{text{B}} By converting the line into slope-intercept form, it is easy to find that the slope of the given line is k_{1}=-2. Thus, the slope of the line perpendicular to the given line is k_{2}= frac {-1}{k_{1}}= frac {1}{2}. By comparing each option, we can find the answer to this question. This question provides a given line and asks for a line perpendicular to it, focusing on the basic quantities and forms of lines, as well as the relationships between lines, which makes it a basic question.
