question:Alex gathered his friends to play hide and seek. He asked Andrew, Boris, Vasya, Gena, and Denis and learned the following: If Andrew goes to play hide and seek, then Boris will also go, but Vasya will not. If Boris goes to play hide and seek, then either Gena or Denis will also go. If Vasya does not go to play hide and seek, then neither Boris nor Denis will go. If Andrew does not go to play hide and seek, then Boris will go, but Gena will not. Eventually, Alex played hide and seek with some of his friends. With whom exactly did he play? (All the guys adhered to their stated opinions.)

answer:1. **Analyzing Condition 1**: - If Andrey goes to play hide and seek, then Borya will also go, and Vasya will not go. - This can be written logically as: [ A rightarrow (B land neg V) ] 2. **Analyzing Condition 2**: - If Borya goes to play hide and seek, then Gena or Denis will also go. - This can be written logically as: [ B rightarrow (G lor D) ] 3. **Analyzing Condition 3**: - If Vasya does not go to play hide and seek, then Borya and Denis will also not go. - This can be written logically as: [ neg V rightarrow (neg B land neg D) ] 4. **Analyzing Condition 4**: - If Andrey does not go to play hide and seek, then Borya will go, and Gena will not go. - This can be written logically as: [ neg A rightarrow (B land neg G) ] 5. **Deciphering the Conditions**: - Let's determine whether certain individuals will definitely go or not by combining the logical statements: - From condition 3: [ neg V rightarrow (neg B land neg D) ] This also means: [ B lor D rightarrow V ] - From condition 4: [ neg A rightarrow (B land neg G) ] This allows for two scenarios: - If Andrey does not go (neg A), it's guaranteed that Borya will go (B), and Gena will not go (neg G). 6. **Combining Conditions**: - To see if Borya will go independently of Andrey’s choice, consider condition 3 and 4 together: If Andrey does not go (neg A), Borya will go and Gena will not go. If Andrey does go (A), it's guaranteed Borya will go. Thus, Borya will always go: [ B = text{True} ] 7. **Seeing Vasya's Condition**: - When Borya goes, using condition 3: [ neg B rightarrow V ] Since ( B ) is True, Vasya must go by elimination (otherwise, if B were False, Vasya must not go). 8. **Checking Denis and Gena's Positions**: - From above: [ B rightarrow (G lor D) ] Borya still goes; thus, either Gena or Denis must go. - Considering earlier that Gena does not participate if Andrey does not and since Vasya will play (by condition 1 if A were true), Denis should go. Therefore, the conclusions are: - Borya (B), Vasya (V), and Denis (D) will play. # Conclusion: [ boxed{text{With Borya, Vasya, and Denis.}} ]

question:Let n be a given natural number greater than 2. Denote by V_{n} the set whose elements are 1 + kn, where k = 1, 2, ldots. A number m in V_{n} is called irreducible in V_{n} if there do not exist numbers p, q in V_{n} such that pq = m. Prove that there exists a number r in V_{n} which can be represented in more than one way as a product of irreducible numbers in V_{n}! (Factorizations differing only in the order of factors from V_{n} are considered identical.)

answer:1. Firstly, let's prove that there are infinitely many prime numbers which, when divided by ( n ), leave a remainder different from ( 1 ). - Assume for contradiction that there are only finitely many such primes, and multiply these primes together. Let's denote this product by ( P ). - Multiply ( P ) by ( n ) and subtract ( 1 ), giving us ( Q = nP - 1 ). Since ( n > 2 ), ( Q ) does not leave a remainder of ( 1 ) when divided by ( n ). - None of the finitely many primes divide ( Q ), as ( Q ) leaves a different remainder when divided by ( n ). - Thus, the prime factors of ( Q ) must be of the form ( 1 + nm ). However, the product of such numbers remains of this form, but ( Q ) contradicts this, so we have a contradiction. - Therefore, there are infinitely many primes that, when divided by ( n ), leave a remainder different from ( 1 ). 2. Since there are infinitely many primes and only finitely many residue classes mod ( n ), by the pigeonhole principle, there must be at least ( 2(n+1) ) primes in some residue class mod ( n ). - Let these primes be ( p_1, p_2, ldots, p_{2(n+1)} ), all of which yield the same remainder ( a ) when divided by ( n ). 3. We use the auxiliary theorem on the exponentiation: - According to the pigeonhole principle, among the powers ( a^1, a^2, ldots, a^{n+1} ), there exist two that are congruent mod ( n ), say ( a^{alpha_1} cong a^{alpha_2} mod n ) with ( alpha_1 > alpha_2 ). - Therefore, ( n mid a^{alpha_2} (a^{alpha_1 - alpha_2} - 1) ). - Since ( a ) is coprime to ( n ), it implies ( n mid a^{alpha_1 - alpha_2} - 1 ), meaning ( a^{alpha} equiv 1 mod n ) for some smallest integer ( alpha leq n ). 4. Let the smallest such ( alpha ) be ( r ): - We can form the polynomial ( P = p_{i_1} p_{i_2} cdots p_{i_r} equiv a^r equiv 1 mod n ), hence ( P in V_n ). - ( P ) must be irreducible in ( V_n ) because if it were reducible, any divisor ( D ) would also need to belong to ( V_n ), but such ( D neq 1 ) and ( D neq P ) would imply ( D = p_{j_1} p_{j_2} cdots p_{j_k} equiv a^k neq 1 mod n ), which contradicts the minimality of ( r ). - Hence, ( P ) is irreducible and ( r > 1 ) since ( a notequiv 1 mod n ). 5. Choosing two irreducible elements ( P_1 ) and ( Q_1 ) in ( V_n ): - ( P_1 = p_1 p_2 ldots p_r ) and ( Q_1 = q_1 q_2 ldots q_r ) where ( P_1, Q_1 in V_n ). - The product ( P_1 Q_1 = p_1 p_2 ldots p_r q_1 q_2 ldots q_r = q_1 q_2 ldots q_r p_1 p_2 ldots p_r = P_1' Q_1' ), with ( P_1' neq P_1 ) and ( Q_1' neq Q_1 ) due to ( r > 1 ), also in ( V_n ). - ( P_1' ) and ( Q_1' ) remain irreducible and different from ( P_1 ) and ( Q_1 ), confirming the assertion. Hence, we have shown that such ( r in V_n ) exists, which can be factored in more than one way using irreducible elements of ( V_n ). (boxed{})

question:Given a quadratic function f(x)=ax^{2}+bx+1(a > 0), and a function F(x)= begin{cases} f(x)(x > 0) f(x)(x < 0) end{cases}. If f(1)=0, and for any real number x in the domain, f(x)geqslant 0 holds. 1. Find the expression for F(x); 2. When xin[2,2], g(x)=f(x)kx is a monotonic function, find the range of values for k.

answer:1. Since f(-1)=a-b+1=0quad① And for any real number x in the domain, f(x)geqslant 0 holds, and a > 0 Therefore, triangle =b^{2}-4aleqslant 0quad② Solving equations ① and ② simultaneously, we get (a-1)^{2}leqslant 0, hence a=1, b=2 Thus, f(x)=x^{2}+2x+1 Hence, F(x)= begin{cases} (x+1)^{2},x > 0 -(x+1)^{2},x < 0 end{cases} 2. Since xin[-2,2], g(x)=f(x)-kx=x^{2}+(2-k)x+1 is a monotonic function Also, the symmetry axis of the function g(x) is x= dfrac {k-2}{2} Therefore, dfrac {k-2}{2}geqslant 2 or dfrac {k-2}{2}leqslant -2 Hence, boxed{kgeqslant 6 text{ or } kleqslant -2}

question:Show that if (a, b, c,) and (d) are four positive real numbers such that ( abcd = 1 ), then [ a^{2}+b^{2}+c^{2}+d^{2}+ab+ac+ad+bc+bd+cd geq 10 ]

answer:Given that (a, b, c,) and (d) are positive real numbers such that (abcd = 1), we aim to show that: [a^{2} + b^{2} + c^{2} + d^{2} + ab + ac + ad + bc + bd + cd geq 10.] 1. **Identify the sum and the number of terms**: We are given a sum of 10 terms: [S = a^{2} + b^{2} + c^{2} + d^{2} + ab + ac + ad + bc + bd + cd.] 2. **Apply the Arithmetic Mean-Geometric Mean Inequality (AM-GM Inequality)**: The AM-GM Inequality states that for any non-negative real numbers (x_1, x_2, ldots, x_n): [ frac{x_1 + x_2 + cdots + x_n}{n} geq sqrt[n]{x_1 x_2 cdots x_n}. ] Multiplying through by (n), we obtain: [ x_1 + x_2 + cdots + x_n geq n sqrt[n]{x_1 x_2 cdots x_n}. ] 3. **Apply AM-GM to our specific sum**: For our sum (S) composed of 10 terms: [ S = a^{2} + b^{2} + c^{2} + d^{2} + ab + ac + ad + bc + bd + cd, ] applying AM-GM we get: [ a^{2} + b^{2} + c^{2} + d^{2} + ab + ac + ad + bc + bd + cd geq 10 sqrt[10]{a^{2} times b^{2} times c^{2} times d^{2} times ab times ac times ad times bc times bd times cd}. ] 4. **Simplify the product inside the root**: [ a^{2} times b^{2} times c^{2} times d^{2} times ab times ac times ad times bc times bd times cd = (abcd)^2 times (abcd)^3 = (abcd)^{5}. ] Given (abcd = 1), we have: [ (abcd)^5 = 1^{5} = 1. ] 5. **Conclusion**: Substituting this back into our inequality: [ a^{2} + b^{2} + c^{2} + d^{2} + ab + ac + ad + bc + bd + cd geq 10 sqrt[10]{1} = 10. ] Thus, we have shown that: [ a^{2} + b^{2} + c^{2} + d^{2} + ab + ac + ad + bc + bd + cd geq 10. ] [boxed{10}]
