question:Following the directions of the arrows, how many different paths are there from A to D? [asy] pair A,B,C,D; A=(0,0); B=(3.33,0); C=(6.66,0); D=(10,0); dot(A); dot(B); dot(C); dot(D); label(A,A,S); label(B,B,S); label(C,C,S); label(D,D,S); draw((0,0)(1.665,1)(3.33,0),Arrow); draw((0,0)(1.665,1)(3.33,0),Arrow); draw(B(5,1)C,Arrow); draw(B(5,1)C,Arrow); draw(C(8.33,1)D,Arrow); draw(C(8.33,1)D,Arrow); draw(A(5,3)D,Arrow); [/asy]

answer:To find the number of different paths from A to D, we analyze: 1. **Paths from A to B**: There are 2 ways (upper and lower arrow). 2. **Paths from B to C**: There are 2 ways (upper and lower arrow). 3. **Paths from C to D**: There are 2 ways (upper and lower arrow). 4. **Direct path from A to D** Using these paths: - From A to B to C to D, there are (2 (A to B) times 2 (B to C) times 2 (C to D) = 8) paths. - There is 1 direct path from A to D. Thus, there is a total of boxed{9} different paths from A to D.

question:the rectangle (ABCD), vertex (C) is connected to the midpoint (K) of side (AD). It turns out that (CK perp BD). Let (H) be the intersection point of (BD) and (CK). Prove that triangle (AHB) is isosceles.

answer:1. Let's observe the properties of the rectangular coordinates in the given problem. We are given that (C K perp B D). 2. Define the midpoints and relationships. Given that (K) is the midpoint of (AD), we have: [ AK = KD ] 3. Consider the angles formed by the intersection of lines (CK) and (BD). Specifically, (angle A B D) and (angle B C K) are equal due to the perpendicularity of their respective sides (AB) and (BC) with (BD) and (CK) respectively. Therefore: [ angle ABD = angle BCK ] 4. Since (A) and (H) lie on a circle with diameter (BK), we use the property of diameters and circles. Consequently: [ triangle AHB = triangle AKB ] This suggests that (angle AHB) is subtended by the same arc (BK). 5. Using triangle properties and symmetry, since (angle AHB = angle AKB), we have the triangles (CKD) and (BKA) being congruent. This is due to the equality of angles formed by parallel lines and a transversal: [ angle AKB = angle CKD ] where (angle CKD = angle BCK) because they are corresponding angles and (angle BCK) intersects parallel lines (BC) and (AD). 6. Therefore, based on the above reasoning, ( angle AHB = angle ABD ). Here, (angle ABD) was the original angle formed from the perpendicular bisectors and intersections. This confirms their equality: [ angle AHB = angle ABD ] 7. With (HB = AB) and their contained angles being equal, this hence proves that (triangle A H B) is isosceles, as required. Conclusion: ( boxed{text{Triangle } A H B text{ is isosceles.}} )

question:the diagram, ( AB parallel EF parallel DC ). Given that ( AC + BD = 250 ), ( BC = 100 ), and ( EC + ED = 150 ), find ( CF ).

answer:Given: - ( AB parallel EF parallel DC ) - ( AC + BD = 250 ) - ( BC = 100 ) - ( EC + ED = 150 ) We need to find ( CF ). 1. By using the properties of parallel lines and similar triangles, we can set up the proportion involving the segments ( AC ), ( BD ), ( BC ), ( EC ), ( DE ), and ( CF ). According to the given ratios: [ frac{CE}{CF} = frac{AC}{BC} quad text{and} quad frac{DE}{CF} = frac{BD}{BC} ] 2. Let's start by finding the combined proportion: [ frac{CE + DE}{CF} = frac{AC}{BC} + frac{BD}{BC} ] Given that ( AC + BD = 250 ) and ( BC = 100 ): [ frac{AC + BD}{BC} = frac{250}{100} ] 3. Therefore, we have: [ frac{150}{CF} = frac{250}{100} ] 4. Simplifying the right-hand side of the equation: [ frac{250}{100} = 2.5 ] 5. Now, solving for ( CF ): [ frac{150}{CF} = 2.5 implies 150 = 2.5 times CF implies CF = frac{150}{2.5} ] 6. Dividing 150 by 2.5: [ CF = 60 ] # Conclusion: [ boxed{60} ]

question:Find the number of counterexamples to the statement that a number (N) with the sum of its digits equal to 5 and none of its digits being 0 is prime. A) 3 B) 4 C) 5 D) 6 E) 7

answer:We are tasked with identifying numbers where the sum of digits equals 5, with no digit being zero, to ascertain if each is a counterexample (non-prime number). 1. **Set ({1,1,1,1,1})**: - The number formed is (N = 11111). - The factorization of (11111): [ 11111 = 41 times 271 ] - Since (11111) is not prime, we have a counterexample. 2. **Set ({1,1,1,2})**: - Possible numbers are (N = 1112, 1121, 1211, 2111). - All are even except (2111), hence not prime. - Check (N = 2111); by trial division, (2111) is not divisible by any prime number up to (sqrt{2111} approx 45.9). Thus, (2111) is prime. 3. **Set ({1,1,3})**: - Possible numbers are (N = 113, 131, 311). - (N = 113) and (N = 131) are both primes. - (N = 311) is also prime. 4. **Set ({1,4})**: - Possible numbers are (N = 14) and (N = 41). - (N = 14) is even, hence not prime. - (N = 41) is a prime number. 5. **Set ({2,3})**: - Possible numbers are (N = 23) and (N = 32). - Both (23) and (32) are prime numbers (consider (32 = 2^5), hence not prime). 6. **Set ({5})**: - The number formed is (N = 5). - 5 is prime. Considering the analysis, the counterexamples where the number is not prime are (N = 11111, N = 1112, N = 1121, N = 1211, N = 14, N = 32). There are (6) counterexamples. The final answer is boxed{The final answer, given the choices, is (boxed{text{D) 6}}).}
