answer：Okay, so I have this fraction here: (2013 × 2013) divided by (2014 × 2014 + 2012). And I need to express this as a fraction n/m where n and m are coprime natural numbers, and then find m + n. The options are given, so maybe I can check my answer against them once I'm done.First, let me write down the fraction:(2013²) / (2014² + 2012)Hmm, that denominator looks a bit complicated. Maybe I can simplify it somehow. Let me compute 2014² first. 2014 is just 2013 + 1, so 2014² is (2013 + 1)². Let me expand that:(2013 + 1)² = 2013² + 2×2013×1 + 1² = 2013² + 4026 + 1 = 2013² + 4027So, the denominator becomes:2014² + 2012 = (2013² + 4027) + 2012 = 2013² + 4027 + 2012Let me add 4027 and 2012:4027 + 2012 = 6039So, the denominator simplifies to:2013² + 6039So now, the fraction is:2013² / (2013² + 6039)Hmm, that seems a bit better. Maybe I can factor out something from the denominator? Let me see:2013² + 6039 = 2013² + 3×2013Wait, is that right? Let me compute 3×2013:3×2013 = 6039Yes, exactly! So, the denominator is 2013² + 3×2013. I can factor out 2013:2013² + 3×2013 = 2013×(2013 + 3) = 2013×2016So, now the fraction becomes:2013² / (2013×2016)I can cancel out one 2013 from numerator and denominator:2013² / (2013×2016) = 2013 / 2016So, now I have 2013/2016. I need to make sure this fraction is in its simplest form, meaning n and m are coprime.To do that, I need to find the greatest common divisor (GCD) of 2013 and 2016.Let me compute GCD(2013, 2016). I can use the Euclidean algorithm.First, divide 2016 by 2013:2016 = 2013 × 1 + 3So, GCD(2013, 2016) = GCD(2013, 3)Now, divide 2013 by 3:2013 ÷ 3 = 671 with no remainder.So, GCD(2013, 3) = 3Therefore, GCD(2013, 2016) = 3So, I can divide both numerator and denominator by 3:2013 ÷ 3 = 6712016 ÷ 3 = 672So, the simplified fraction is 671/672.Therefore, n = 671 and m = 672.Now, I need to find m + n:671 + 672 = 1343Looking at the options, 1343 is option B.Wait, let me just double-check my steps to make sure I didn't make a mistake.1. Expanded 2014² correctly as (2013 + 1)², which gave me 2013² + 4026 + 1 = 2013² + 4027. Then added 2012 to get 2013² + 6039.2. Recognized that 6039 is 3×2013, so factored denominator as 2013×2016.3. Simplified the fraction to 2013/2016.4. Found GCD(2013, 2016) = 3, so divided both by 3 to get 671/672.5. Summed 671 + 672 = 1343.Everything seems to check out. So, I think the answer is 1343, which is option B.**Final Answer**boxed{B}

answer：Okay, so I have this problem here about Sara and her peaches and pears. Let me try to understand what's going on. First, it says Sara had 24 peaches and 37 pears at her fruit dish. Okay, so initially, she has two types of fruits: peaches and pears. She has more pears than peaches because 37 is more than 24. But the question is about peaches, so maybe the pears aren't that important here. Then, it says she went to the orchard and picked some peaches. She picked 37 peaches. Hmm, so she added 37 peaches to her existing collection. The question is asking how many peaches she has now. So, I think I need to add the peaches she already had to the ones she picked.Let me break it down. She started with 24 peaches. Then she picked 37 more. So, to find the total number of peaches now, I should add 24 and 37 together. Wait, let me make sure I'm understanding this correctly. She had 24 peaches and 37 pears initially. Then she went to the orchard and picked 37 peaches. So, the pears are still 37, but the peaches increased by 37. So, the total number of peaches would be 24 plus 37.Let me do the math. 24 plus 37. Okay, 24 plus 30 is 54, and then plus 7 more is 61. So, 24 plus 37 equals 61. That seems right.But wait, let me double-check. Maybe I should add them column-wise to be sure. 24+37----?Adding the units place: 4 plus 7 is 11. So, I write down 1 and carry over 1. Then, adding the tens place: 2 plus 3 is 5, plus the carried over 1 makes 6. So, it's 61. Yep, that matches what I got before.So, Sara now has 61 peaches. The pears are still 37, but the question only asks about the peaches, so I don't need to worry about the pears for this problem.I think that's it. She had 24 peaches, picked 37 more, so now she has 61 peaches in total.

answer：Okay, so I have this equation here: (2/x) minus (3/x) multiplied by (6/x) equals 0.5. Hmm, let me write that down to make it clearer. So, it's (2/x) - (3/x)*(6/x) = 0.5. Alright, I need to find the value of x that satisfies this equation.First, I should probably simplify the equation step by step. Let me look at the terms. There's a subtraction here, and the second term is a multiplication of two fractions. Maybe I can simplify that multiplication first. So, (3/x) multiplied by (6/x). Let me compute that.Multiplying the numerators: 3 times 6 is 18. And multiplying the denominators: x times x is x squared. So, (3/x)*(6/x) simplifies to 18/x². Okay, so now the equation becomes (2/x) - (18/x²) = 0.5.Hmm, so now I have two terms with x in the denominator. Maybe I can combine them into a single fraction to make it easier to solve. To do that, I need a common denominator. The denominators are x and x², so the common denominator would be x². Let me rewrite (2/x) as (2x)/x² so that both terms have the same denominator.So, (2x)/x² - 18/x² = 0.5. Now, combining the numerators: 2x - 18 over x² equals 0.5. So, (2x - 18)/x² = 0.5.Now, to get rid of the fraction, I can multiply both sides of the equation by x². That should eliminate the denominator. So, multiplying both sides by x² gives me 2x - 18 = 0.5x².Hmm, now I have a quadratic equation. Let me rearrange it to standard quadratic form, which is ax² + bx + c = 0. So, I'll move all terms to one side. Subtracting 2x and adding 18 to both sides gives me: 0.5x² - 2x + 18 = 0.Quadratic equations are usually easier to solve when the coefficient of x² is 1. So, maybe I can multiply the entire equation by 2 to eliminate the decimal. Multiplying each term by 2: 2*(0.5x²) is x², 2*(-2x) is -4x, and 2*18 is 36. So, the equation becomes x² - 4x + 36 = 0.Now, I can use the quadratic formula to solve for x. The quadratic formula is x = [-b ± sqrt(b² - 4ac)] / (2a), where a, b, and c are coefficients from the quadratic equation ax² + bx + c = 0. In this case, a is 1, b is -4, and c is 36.Plugging these values into the quadratic formula: x = [-(-4) ± sqrt((-4)² - 4*1*36)] / (2*1). Simplifying the numerator: -(-4) is 4. The discriminant inside the square root is (-4)² which is 16, minus 4*1*36 which is 144. So, 16 - 144 is -128.So, the equation becomes x = [4 ± sqrt(-128)] / 2. Wait a minute, the square root of a negative number isn't a real number. It involves imaginary numbers. But since we're probably looking for real solutions, this suggests that there are no real solutions to the equation.Let me double-check my steps to make sure I didn't make a mistake. Starting from the original equation: (2/x) - (3/x)*(6/x) = 0.5. Simplified the multiplication to 18/x², combined the terms to (2x - 18)/x² = 0.5. Multiplied both sides by x² to get 2x - 18 = 0.5x². Rearranged to 0.5x² - 2x + 18 = 0, then multiplied by 2 to get x² - 4x + 36 = 0.Applied the quadratic formula: x = [4 ± sqrt(16 - 144)] / 2, which is [4 ± sqrt(-128)] / 2. Yep, that looks correct. So, since the discriminant is negative, there are no real solutions. That means there's no real number x that satisfies the original equation.I guess that makes sense because when I look at the original equation, both terms on the left side are fractions with x in the denominator. If x were a real number, those fractions would be real numbers, and their combination would have to equal 0.5. But the way the equation simplifies leads to a quadratic with no real roots, so it's impossible for x to be a real number here.Maybe if I consider complex numbers, there would be solutions, but since the problem doesn't specify, I think it's safe to say there are no real solutions.

answer：Alright, so I need to help this school figure out the best way to buy table tennis rackets and balls. Let me try to understand the problem step by step.First, the store sells table tennis rackets and balls. Each pair of rackets costs 80 yuan, and each box of balls costs 20 yuan. The school wants to buy 20 pairs of rackets and x boxes of balls, where x is more than 20 and is an integer. There are two discount options:Option 1: Buy one pair of rackets and get one box of balls for free.Option 2: Pay 90% of the original price for both rackets and balls.Okay, so for part (1), I need to find the total payment if the school chooses Option 1 and if they choose Option 2, both expressed as algebraic expressions involving x.Starting with Option 1: For every pair of rackets bought, you get one box of balls free. The school is buying 20 pairs of rackets, so they get 20 boxes of balls for free. Since they need x boxes of balls and x is more than 20, they need to buy (x - 20) additional boxes. Each box costs 20 yuan. So the total cost for balls would be 20*(x - 20). The cost for rackets is straightforward: 20 pairs at 80 yuan each, so 20*80.So, total payment for Option 1 would be:Cost of rackets + Cost of additional balls = 20*80 + 20*(x - 20).Let me calculate that:20*80 = 1600 yuan.20*(x - 20) = 20x - 400 yuan.Adding them together: 1600 + 20x - 400 = 20x + 1200 yuan.So, Option 1 total payment is 20x + 1200 yuan.Now, Option 2: Pay 90% of the original price for both rackets and balls. The original price for 20 rackets is 20*80 = 1600 yuan, and for x boxes of balls is 20x yuan. So, the total original price is 1600 + 20x yuan. Then, paying 90% of that would be 0.9*(1600 + 20x).Let me compute that:0.9*1600 = 1440 yuan.0.9*20x = 18x yuan.Adding them together: 1440 + 18x yuan.So, Option 2 total payment is 18x + 1440 yuan.Alright, that takes care of part (1). Now, moving on to part (2): If x = 30, which option is more cost-effective?Let me plug x = 30 into both expressions.For Option 1: 20x + 1200 = 20*30 + 1200 = 600 + 1200 = 1800 yuan.For Option 2: 18x + 1440 = 18*30 + 1440 = 540 + 1440 = 1980 yuan.Comparing the two, 1800 yuan is less than 1980 yuan, so Option 1 is more cost-effective when x = 30.Now, part (3): If x = 30, can we find a more cost-effective purchasing option? If yes, what is it and how much would it cost?Hmm, so far, Option 1 gives 1800 yuan, which is better than Option 2's 1980 yuan. But maybe there's a way to combine both options to get an even better price.Let me think. Since Option 1 gives free balls with each racket, and Option 2 gives a discount on everything, perhaps we can use Option 1 for some items and Option 2 for others.Specifically, the school needs 20 rackets and 30 balls. With Option 1, buying 20 rackets gives 20 balls for free. So, they get 20 balls without extra cost. They still need 10 more balls. Maybe they can buy those 10 balls using Option 2, which gives a 10% discount.So, let's calculate the total cost in this scenario.First, buying 20 rackets and getting 20 balls for free under Option 1:Cost of rackets: 20*80 = 1600 yuan.Cost of 20 balls: 0 yuan (free).Then, buying the remaining 10 balls under Option 2:Each ball box costs 20 yuan, so 10 boxes cost 10*20 = 200 yuan. With a 10% discount, that's 200*0.9 = 180 yuan.Total cost: 1600 + 180 = 1780 yuan.Wait, that's even less than Option 1's 1800 yuan. So, combining both options gives a better price.Is this allowed? The problem doesn't specify that you have to choose one option exclusively. It just says the store offers two discount options. So, I think it's permissible to use Option 1 for part of the purchase and Option 2 for the rest.Therefore, the more cost-effective option is to use Option 1 for the initial 20 rackets and 20 balls, and then use Option 2 for the remaining 10 balls, resulting in a total cost of 1780 yuan.Let me double-check my calculations to make sure I didn't make a mistake.Option 1 for 20 rackets and 20 balls:20*80 = 1600 yuan for rackets.20 balls are free, so 0 yuan.Option 2 for 10 balls:10*20 = 200 yuan.10% discount: 200*0.9 = 180 yuan.Total: 1600 + 180 = 1780 yuan.Yes, that seems correct. So, combining both options gives a better price than using either option alone.I think that's the most cost-effective way. It's always good to check if combining options can lead to savings, especially when dealing with discounts and promotions.So, summarizing:1. Option 1 total payment: 20x + 1200 yuan.2. Option 2 total payment: 18x + 1440 yuan.3. When x = 30, Option 1 is better, costing 1800 yuan.4. However, by combining Option 1 for the initial 20 balls and Option 2 for the remaining 10 balls, the total cost reduces to 1780 yuan, which is even more cost-effective.I think that covers everything the problem is asking for.

answer：Okay, so I'm trying to solve this problem about lines dividing a plane into regions. It says that for positive integers ( n ), ( S_n ) is the set of integers ( x ) such that ( n ) distinct lines, with no three concurrent, can divide a plane into ( x ) regions. They gave an example for ( n = 2 ), where ( S_2 = {3, 4} ). Now, I need to find the minimum ( i ) such that ( S_i ) contains at least 4 elements.First, I need to understand how lines can divide a plane. I remember that when you have multiple lines, the maximum number of regions they can divide the plane into is given by the formula ( frac{n(n + 1)}{2} + 1 ). This is when no two lines are parallel and no three lines meet at a single point. So, for ( n = 2 ), that would be ( frac{2(2 + 1)}{2} + 1 = 4 ) regions, which matches the example.But the problem is not just about the maximum number of regions. It's about all possible numbers of regions that can be formed by arranging ( n ) lines in different ways. For ( n = 2 ), if the lines are parallel, they only create 3 regions, hence ( S_2 = {3, 4} ).So, I need to figure out for different values of ( n ), what are the possible numbers of regions, and find the smallest ( n ) where there are at least 4 different numbers in ( S_n ).Let me start with ( n = 3 ). If all three lines are parallel, they divide the plane into 4 regions. If two lines are parallel and the third intersects them, they create 6 regions. If none are parallel and no three meet at a point, they create 7 regions. Wait, is 5 regions possible? If all three lines meet at a single point, they create 6 regions, so 5 isn't possible. So, ( S_3 = {4, 6, 7} ), which has 3 elements.Now, ( n = 4 ). Let's think about how 4 lines can divide the plane. If all four are parallel, they make 5 regions. If three are parallel and the fourth intersects them, that's 8 regions. If two pairs of parallel lines, that's 9 regions. If none are parallel and no three concurrent, that's 11 regions. What about 6, 7, or 10 regions? Is that possible?If I have two lines parallel and the other two intersecting both, that might create 6 regions. Wait, no, that would actually create more regions. Maybe if I have one line parallel and the others arranged differently. Hmm, I'm getting a bit confused. Maybe I should draw it out or think more carefully.Alternatively, I recall that the number of regions can be calculated based on the number of intersections. Each new line can intersect all previous lines, adding as many new regions as the number of intersections plus one. So, starting with 0 lines, we have 1 region. With 1 line, 2 regions. With 2 lines, if they intersect, 4 regions; if parallel, 3 regions.For 3 lines, if all intersect each other, 7 regions; if two are parallel, 6 regions; if all three are parallel, 4 regions.For 4 lines, the maximum regions are 11. If all are parallel, 5 regions. If three are parallel and the fourth intersects them, 8 regions. If two pairs are parallel, 9 regions. If two lines are parallel and the other two intersect each other and the parallel lines, that should create 8 regions as well. Wait, maybe 6 regions is possible if two lines are parallel and the other two are also parallel but in a different direction, making a grid, which would create 9 regions. Hmm, I'm not sure.Maybe another approach: the number of regions can be calculated by ( R = n + 1 + sum_{k=1}^{n-1} (k - p_k) ), where ( p_k ) is the number of parallel lines to the ( k )-th line. But I'm not sure if that's correct.Alternatively, I think the number of regions depends on how many intersections there are. Each intersection adds a new region. So, if I have ( k ) intersections, the number of regions is ( n + k + 1 ). Wait, no, that doesn't sound right.Let me look up the formula for regions created by lines. Oh, right, the maximum number is ( frac{n(n + 1)}{2} + 1 ). But when lines are parallel or concurrent, the number decreases.For ( n = 4 ), maximum regions are 11. If all four are parallel, regions = 5. If three are parallel, regions = 8. If two are parallel and the other two intersect each other and the parallel lines, regions = 8. If two pairs are parallel, regions = 9. If no two are parallel and no three concurrent, regions = 11. So, what about 6, 7, or 10 regions?Wait, if I have two lines parallel, and the other two lines intersect each other but not the parallel lines, that would create 6 regions. Because the two parallel lines make 3 regions, and the other two intersecting lines add 3 more regions, making a total of 6. Is that right? Let me visualize: two horizontal lines, then two diagonal lines intersecting each other but not the horizontal lines. Yes, that would create 6 regions.Similarly, if I have one pair of parallel lines and the other two lines intersecting both, that would create 8 regions. Wait, no, that would actually create more regions. Maybe 7 regions is possible if one line is parallel and the other three are arranged to intersect each other but not the parallel line. Hmm, I'm getting confused.Alternatively, maybe 7 regions is possible if two lines are parallel and the other two intersect each other and one of the parallel lines. Let me try to count: two parallel lines make 3 regions. The third line intersects one of the parallel lines, adding 2 regions, making 5. The fourth line intersects the third line and one of the parallel lines, adding 2 more regions, making 7. Yes, that seems possible.Similarly, 10 regions might be possible if three lines are concurrent and the fourth line intersects them all. Wait, no, if three lines are concurrent, they create 6 regions, and the fourth line would intersect all three, adding 3 regions, making 9 regions. Hmm, not 10.Wait, maybe if two lines are parallel and the other two are not parallel and intersect each other and the parallel lines. Let me count: two parallel lines make 3 regions. The third line intersects both parallel lines, adding 2 regions, making 5. The fourth line intersects the third line and both parallel lines, adding 3 regions, making 8. So, that's 8 regions.Alternatively, if I have two lines intersecting, making 4 regions. The third line is parallel to one of them, adding 2 regions, making 6. The fourth line intersects the third line and the other two lines, adding 3 regions, making 9. So, that's 9 regions.Wait, I'm not sure if 10 regions is possible. Maybe if three lines are arranged to intersect each other and the fourth line is parallel to one of them. Let's see: three lines intersecting each other make 7 regions. The fourth line parallel to one of them would add 2 regions, making 9 regions. So, still 9.Alternatively, if three lines are concurrent and the fourth line is not parallel, it would intersect all three, adding 3 regions, making 9 regions.Hmm, maybe 10 regions isn't possible with 4 lines. So, for ( n = 4 ), ( S_4 ) would be {5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 11}}. Wait, that's 6 elements. So, ( S_4 ) has at least 4 elements.But wait, earlier I thought ( S_3 ) has 3 elements, and ( S_4 ) has 6 elements. So, the minimum ( i ) such that ( S_i ) contains at least 4 elements is 4.But let me double-check. For ( n = 4 ), can we really get 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 11 regions?- All four parallel: 5 regions.- Three parallel, fourth intersects them: 8 regions.- Two pairs of parallel lines: 9 regions.- Two parallel, the other two intersecting both: 8 regions.- Two parallel, the other two intersecting each other but not the parallel lines: 6 regions.- One parallel, the other three intersecting each other and the parallel line: 7 regions.- No two parallel, no three concurrent: 11 regions.Yes, that seems correct. So, ( S_4 = {5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 11} ), which has 6 elements. Therefore, the minimum ( i ) is 4.

answer：Alright, so I have this problem where I need to find the value of θ (θ is between 0 and π) that makes the function f(x) = sin(2x + θ) + √3 cos(2x + θ) an odd function and decreasing on the interval [-π/4, 0]. Hmm, okay, let me break this down step by step.First, I remember that an odd function satisfies the condition f(-x) = -f(x) for all x in its domain. So, I need to make sure that f(x) is odd. The function given is f(x) = sin(2x + θ) + √3 cos(2x + θ). I think I can simplify this using a trigonometric identity. Maybe the amplitude-phase form? Yeah, that should work.The general form is A sin(ωx + φ). Let me try to express f(x) in that form. The coefficients of sin and cos are 1 and √3, respectively. The amplitude A would be √(1² + (√3)²) = √(1 + 3) = √4 = 2. So, A is 2. Then, the phase shift φ can be found using tanφ = (√3)/1, so φ = π/3. Therefore, f(x) can be rewritten as 2 sin(2x + θ + π/3). Let me double-check that:2 sin(2x + θ + π/3) = 2 [sin(2x + θ) cos(π/3) + cos(2x + θ) sin(π/3)] = 2 [sin(2x + θ)*(1/2) + cos(2x + θ)*(√3/2)] = sin(2x + θ) + √3 cos(2x + θ). Yep, that works.So, f(x) = 2 sin(2x + θ + π/3). Now, since f(x) is an odd function, f(-x) = -f(x). Let's write that out:f(-x) = 2 sin(-2x + θ + π/3) = -2 sin(2x - θ - π/3). And this should equal -f(x) = -2 sin(2x + θ + π/3). So, we have:-2 sin(2x - θ - π/3) = -2 sin(2x + θ + π/3).Dividing both sides by -2, we get:sin(2x - θ - π/3) = sin(2x + θ + π/3).For the sine function, sin(A) = sin(B) implies that either A = B + 2πk or A = π - B + 2πk for some integer k. Let's consider both cases.Case 1: 2x - θ - π/3 = 2x + θ + π/3 + 2πk.Simplify: Subtract 2x from both sides: -θ - π/3 = θ + π/3 + 2πk.Bring θ terms to one side: -2θ - 2π/3 = 2πk.Divide both sides by -2: θ + π/3 = -πk.But θ is between 0 and π, so let's see possible k values. If k = -1, then θ + π/3 = π, so θ = 2π/3. That's within our interval. If k = 0, θ + π/3 = 0, which would make θ negative, which isn't allowed. If k = 1, θ + π/3 = -π, which is also negative. So, only k = -1 gives a valid θ.Case 2: 2x - θ - π/3 = π - (2x + θ + π/3) + 2πk.Simplify the right side: π - 2x - θ - π/3 + 2πk.So, left side: 2x - θ - π/3.Set equal: 2x - θ - π/3 = π - 2x - θ - π/3 + 2πk.Bring all terms to left: 2x - θ - π/3 - π + 2x + θ + π/3 - 2πk = 0.Simplify: 4x - π - 2πk = 0.This would imply 4x = π + 2πk, but this must hold for all x in the domain, which is impossible unless the coefficient of x is zero. But 4 ≠ 0, so this case doesn't provide a solution.Therefore, the only valid solution is from Case 1, which gives θ = 2π/3.Now, I need to ensure that f(x) is decreasing on the interval [-π/4, 0]. To check if a function is decreasing, we can look at its derivative. Let's compute f'(x):f(x) = 2 sin(2x + θ + π/3), so f'(x) = 2 * 2 cos(2x + θ + π/3) = 4 cos(2x + θ + π/3).For f(x) to be decreasing, f'(x) must be ≤ 0 on the interval [-π/4, 0]. So, 4 cos(2x + θ + π/3) ≤ 0 for all x in [-π/4, 0].Divide both sides by 4: cos(2x + θ + π/3) ≤ 0.So, we need cos(2x + θ + π/3) ≤ 0 for all x in [-π/4, 0].Let me find the range of 2x + θ + π/3 when x is in [-π/4, 0].When x = -π/4: 2*(-π/4) + θ + π/3 = -π/2 + θ + π/3 = θ - π/6.When x = 0: 2*0 + θ + π/3 = θ + π/3.So, the argument of the cosine function ranges from θ - π/6 to θ + π/3.We need cos(φ) ≤ 0 for all φ in [θ - π/6, θ + π/3].The cosine function is ≤ 0 when φ is in [π/2 + 2πk, 3π/2 + 2πk] for some integer k.So, we need the entire interval [θ - π/6, θ + π/3] to lie within one of these intervals where cosine is non-positive.Let me visualize the unit circle. Cosine is negative in the second and third quadrants, i.e., between π/2 and 3π/2.So, we need θ - π/6 ≥ π/2 + 2πk and θ + π/3 ≤ 3π/2 + 2πk for some integer k.Let me write this as:θ - π/6 ≥ π/2 + 2πk,θ + π/3 ≤ 3π/2 + 2πk.Subtracting the first inequality from the second:(θ + π/3) - (θ - π/6) ≤ (3π/2 + 2πk) - (π/2 + 2πk),Simplify: π/3 + π/6 = π/2 ≤ 3π/2 - π/2 = π.Which is true, so the interval [θ - π/6, θ + π/3] has length π/2, which is less than π, so it's possible for it to lie entirely within [π/2, 3π/2].Now, let's solve for θ.From the first inequality:θ - π/6 ≥ π/2 + 2πk,θ ≥ π/2 + π/6 + 2πk,θ ≥ 2π/3 + 2πk.From the second inequality:θ + π/3 ≤ 3π/2 + 2πk,θ ≤ 3π/2 - π/3 + 2πk,θ ≤ 7π/6 + 2πk.So, combining both:2π/3 + 2πk ≤ θ ≤ 7π/6 + 2πk.But θ is in (0, π). Let's find k such that θ falls within this interval.If k = 0:2π/3 ≤ θ ≤ 7π/6.But 7π/6 is approximately 3.665, which is greater than π (≈3.1416). So, θ must be ≤ π. Therefore, θ must be in [2π/3, π].If k = 1:2π/3 + 2π ≤ θ ≤ 7π/6 + 2π,Which is way beyond π, so not applicable.If k = -1:2π/3 - 2π ≤ θ ≤ 7π/6 - 2π,Which is negative, so θ would be negative, which is not allowed.Therefore, the only valid interval is when k = 0, so θ must be between 2π/3 and π.But earlier, from the odd function condition, we found θ = 2π/3. So, θ = 2π/3 is within [2π/3, π], so it satisfies both conditions.Let me verify if θ = 2π/3 indeed makes f(x) decreasing on [-π/4, 0].Compute f'(x) = 4 cos(2x + θ + π/3) = 4 cos(2x + 2π/3 + π/3) = 4 cos(2x + π).So, f'(x) = 4 cos(2x + π) = -4 cos(2x).We need f'(x) ≤ 0 on [-π/4, 0].So, -4 cos(2x) ≤ 0 ⇒ cos(2x) ≥ 0.When is cos(2x) ≥ 0?cos(2x) is non-negative when 2x is in [-π/2 + 2πk, π/2 + 2πk] for integer k.But x is in [-π/4, 0], so 2x is in [-π/2, 0].So, cos(2x) is non-negative in [-π/2, π/2], which includes [-π/2, 0]. Therefore, cos(2x) ≥ 0 for all x in [-π/4, 0], which means f'(x) = -4 cos(2x) ≤ 0. So, f(x) is indeed decreasing on that interval.Therefore, θ = 2π/3 satisfies both conditions: f(x) is odd and decreasing on [-π/4, 0].I think that's the solution. Let me just recap:1. Expressed f(x) as 2 sin(2x + θ + π/3).2. Used the odd function condition to find θ = 2π/3.3. Checked the derivative and ensured it's non-positive on the interval, which it is.So, θ = 2π/3 is the answer.
