answer：Alright, so I have this problem about a parallelogram ABCD. Points K, L, and M are on sides AB, BC, and the extension of CD beyond D, respectively. The key thing is that triangles KLM and BCA are congruent. Then, segment KM intersects AD at point N, and I need to prove that LN is parallel to AB.Hmm, okay. Let me start by drawing a diagram to visualize this. Parallelogram ABCD means AB is parallel to CD, and AD is parallel to BC. Points K on AB, L on BC, and M on the extension of CD. Triangles KLM and BCA are congruent, so all their corresponding sides and angles are equal.Since ABCD is a parallelogram, AB equals CD, and AD equals BC. Also, opposite angles are equal. So, angle ABC equals angle ADC, and angle BAD equals angle BCD.Now, triangles KLM and BCA are congruent. That means:- KL = BC- LM = CA- MK = ABWait, but CA is a diagonal of the parallelogram. In a parallelogram, the diagonals bisect each other but aren't necessarily equal unless it's a rectangle. So, unless ABCD is a rectangle, CA isn't equal to BD. But the problem doesn't specify that, so I can't assume that.Wait, but in triangle KLM, LM is equal to CA. So, LM is equal to the diagonal of the parallelogram. That might be useful.Also, since KLM and BCA are congruent, their corresponding angles are equal. So, angle KLM equals angle BCA, angle LKM equals angle CBA, and angle KML equals angle CAB.Let me think about the implications of these angle equalities.Since ABCD is a parallelogram, angle ABC is equal to angle ADC, and angle BAD equals angle BCD. Also, consecutive angles are supplementary.Given that triangles KLM and BCA are congruent, maybe I can use some properties of congruent triangles to find relationships between the sides and angles of the parallelogram.Let me also consider the coordinates approach. Maybe assigning coordinates to the points can help me calculate the necessary slopes or lengths.Let's place the parallelogram ABCD on a coordinate system. Let me assign coordinates as follows:- Let point A be at (0, 0).- Since ABCD is a parallelogram, let me assume AB is along the x-axis, so point B is at (a, 0).- Point D can be at (0, b), so point C would be at (a, b).So, coordinates:- A: (0, 0)- B: (a, 0)- C: (a, b)- D: (0, b)Now, point K is on AB, so its coordinates can be represented as (k, 0), where 0 < k < a.Point L is on BC. Since BC goes from (a, 0) to (a, b), point L can be represented as (a, l), where 0 < l < b.Point M is on the extension of CD beyond D. CD goes from (a, b) to (0, b), so its extension beyond D would go towards negative x-direction. So, point M can be represented as (m, b), where m < 0.Now, triangles KLM and BCA are congruent. Let's write down the coordinates:- Triangle KLM: points K(k, 0), L(a, l), M(m, b)- Triangle BCA: points B(a, 0), C(a, b), A(0, 0)Since they are congruent, the distances between corresponding points should be equal.Let's compute the distances:For triangle BCA:- BC: distance from B(a, 0) to C(a, b) is b- CA: distance from C(a, b) to A(0, 0) is sqrt(a² + b²)- AB: distance from A(0, 0) to B(a, 0) is aFor triangle KLM:- KL: distance from K(k, 0) to L(a, l) is sqrt[(a - k)² + (l - 0)²] = sqrt[(a - k)² + l²]- LM: distance from L(a, l) to M(m, b) is sqrt[(m - a)² + (b - l)²]- MK: distance from M(m, b) to K(k, 0) is sqrt[(k - m)² + (0 - b)²] = sqrt[(k - m)² + b²]Since triangles KLM and BCA are congruent, their corresponding sides must be equal. So:1. KL = BC => sqrt[(a - k)² + l²] = b2. LM = CA => sqrt[(m - a)² + (b - l)²] = sqrt(a² + b²)3. MK = AB => sqrt[(k - m)² + b²] = aSo, we have three equations:1. sqrt[(a - k)² + l²] = b2. sqrt[(m - a)² + (b - l)²] = sqrt(a² + b²)3. sqrt[(k - m)² + b²] = aLet me square these equations to eliminate the square roots.1. (a - k)² + l² = b²2. (m - a)² + (b - l)² = a² + b²3. (k - m)² + b² = a²Let's simplify each equation.Equation 1:(a - k)² + l² = b²Expanding (a - k)²:a² - 2ak + k² + l² = b²Equation 2:(m - a)² + (b - l)² = a² + b²Expanding both squares:(m² - 2am + a²) + (b² - 2bl + l²) = a² + b²Simplify:m² - 2am + a² + b² - 2bl + l² = a² + b²Subtract a² + b² from both sides:m² - 2am - 2bl + l² = 0Equation 3:(k - m)² + b² = a²Expanding (k - m)²:k² - 2km + m² + b² = a²Now, let's see if we can find relationships between k, l, m.From Equation 1:a² - 2ak + k² + l² = b²Let me note this as Equation 1.From Equation 3:k² - 2km + m² + b² = a²Let me note this as Equation 3.From Equation 2:m² - 2am - 2bl + l² = 0Let me note this as Equation 2.Let me try to express variables in terms of others.From Equation 1:a² - 2ak + k² + l² = b²Let me rearrange:k² - 2ak + (a² + l² - b²) = 0This is a quadratic in k. Maybe I can solve for k in terms of l.Similarly, from Equation 3:k² - 2km + m² + b² = a²Rearranged:k² - 2km + (m² + b² - a²) = 0Another quadratic in k, but involving m.From Equation 2:m² - 2am - 2bl + l² = 0This is a quadratic in m, involving l.Hmm, this is getting a bit complicated. Maybe I can find a relationship between k and m.Alternatively, perhaps I can subtract Equation 1 from Equation 3.Equation 3: k² - 2km + m² + b² = a²Equation 1: a² - 2ak + k² + l² = b²Subtract Equation 1 from Equation 3:(k² - 2km + m² + b²) - (a² - 2ak + k² + l²) = a² - b²Simplify:k² - 2km + m² + b² - a² + 2ak - k² - l² = a² - b²Simplify terms:-2km + m² + b² - a² + 2ak - l² = a² - b²Bring all terms to one side:-2km + m² + b² - a² + 2ak - l² - a² + b² = 0Combine like terms:-2km + m² + 2b² - 2a² + 2ak - l² = 0Hmm, not sure if this helps.Alternatively, maybe I can express l² from Equation 1 and substitute into Equation 2.From Equation 1:l² = b² - a² + 2ak - k²Plug into Equation 2:m² - 2am - 2bl + (b² - a² + 2ak - k²) = 0Simplify:m² - 2am - 2bl + b² - a² + 2ak - k² = 0Rearrange:m² - 2am + 2ak - 2bl + b² - a² - k² = 0Hmm, still complicated.Alternatively, maybe I can express m from Equation 3 in terms of k and substitute into Equation 2.From Equation 3:k² - 2km + m² + b² = a²This can be rewritten as:m² - 2km + (k² + b² - a²) = 0This is a quadratic in m:m² - 2k m + (k² + b² - a²) = 0Solving for m:m = [2k ± sqrt(4k² - 4(k² + b² - a²))]/2Simplify discriminant:sqrt(4k² - 4k² - 4b² + 4a²) = sqrt(4a² - 4b²) = 2 sqrt(a² - b²)Thus,m = [2k ± 2 sqrt(a² - b²)] / 2 = k ± sqrt(a² - b²)So, m = k + sqrt(a² - b²) or m = k - sqrt(a² - b²)But since point M is on the extension of CD beyond D, which is at (0, b). So, the x-coordinate of M is less than 0. Therefore, m < 0.Given that k is between 0 and a, and sqrt(a² - b²) is positive (assuming a > b for simplicity), then m = k - sqrt(a² - b²). So, m = k - sqrt(a² - b²)Thus, m = k - sqrt(a² - b²)Now, let's substitute m into Equation 2.Equation 2:m² - 2am - 2bl + l² = 0Substitute m = k - sqrt(a² - b²):(k - sqrt(a² - b²))² - 2a(k - sqrt(a² - b²)) - 2bl + l² = 0Let me expand (k - sqrt(a² - b²))²:= k² - 2k sqrt(a² - b²) + (a² - b²)So, Equation 2 becomes:k² - 2k sqrt(a² - b²) + a² - b² - 2a k + 2a sqrt(a² - b²) - 2bl + l² = 0Simplify terms:k² - 2k sqrt(a² - b²) + a² - b² - 2a k + 2a sqrt(a² - b²) - 2bl + l² = 0Let me group like terms:k² - 2k sqrt(a² - b²) - 2a k + a² - b² + 2a sqrt(a² - b²) - 2bl + l² = 0Hmm, this is getting quite involved. Maybe I can use Equation 1 to express l in terms of k and substitute here.From Equation 1:(a - k)² + l² = b²So,l² = b² - (a - k)² = b² - (a² - 2ak + k²) = -a² + 2ak - k² + b²Thus, l² = -a² + 2ak - k² + b²So, l = sqrt(-a² + 2ak - k² + b²)But this expression is getting complicated. Maybe instead of going this route, I can think about vectors or affine transformations.Alternatively, perhaps using coordinate geometry, I can find the coordinates of point N where KM intersects AD, and then compute the slope of LN and see if it's equal to the slope of AB, which is 0 since AB is horizontal.Wait, AB is from (0,0) to (a,0), so it's horizontal. So, if LN is parallel to AB, then LN must also be horizontal, meaning the y-coordinate of L and N must be the same.Point L is at (a, l), so if LN is horizontal, then point N must also be at (n, l). But point N is on AD, which goes from (0,0) to (0, b). So, point N is at (0, n'), where n' is some y-coordinate.Wait, that can't be unless l = n', but point N is on AD, which is the y-axis, so its x-coordinate is 0. So, if LN is to be horizontal, then point N must be at (0, l). So, point N is (0, l). Therefore, to prove that LN is parallel to AB, we need to show that point N has the same y-coordinate as L, which is l.So, if I can show that when KM intersects AD at N, then N is at (0, l), then LN is horizontal, hence parallel to AB.So, let's find the equation of line KM and find its intersection with AD.Point K is at (k, 0), and point M is at (m, b). So, the line KM can be parametrized as:x = k + t(m - k)y = 0 + t(b - 0) = tbfor t in [0, 1] gives the segment KM, but since M is beyond D, t might be greater than 1.But we need the intersection with AD, which is the line x = 0, y from 0 to b.So, set x = 0:0 = k + t(m - k)Solve for t:t = -k / (m - k)Then, y-coordinate at intersection is y = tb = (-k / (m - k)) * bSo, point N is at (0, (-k / (m - k)) * b)We need to show that this y-coordinate is equal to l, the y-coordinate of L.So,(-k / (m - k)) * b = lThus,(-k b) / (m - k) = lMultiply both sides by (m - k):- k b = l(m - k)From earlier, we have m = k - sqrt(a² - b²)So,- k b = l(k - sqrt(a² - b²) - k) = l(- sqrt(a² - b²))Thus,- k b = - l sqrt(a² - b²)Multiply both sides by -1:k b = l sqrt(a² - b²)So,l = (k b) / sqrt(a² - b²)Now, let's recall from Equation 1:(a - k)² + l² = b²Substitute l:(a - k)² + (k² b²) / (a² - b²) = b²Multiply both sides by (a² - b²):(a - k)² (a² - b²) + k² b² = b² (a² - b²)Expand (a - k)²:(a² - 2ak + k²)(a² - b²) + k² b² = b² (a² - b²)Let me expand the first term:= a²(a² - b²) - 2ak(a² - b²) + k²(a² - b²) + k² b²= a⁴ - a² b² - 2a³ k + 2a k b² + a² k² - b² k² + k² b²Simplify:a⁴ - a² b² - 2a³ k + 2a k b² + a² k² - b² k² + k² b²Notice that -b² k² + k² b² cancels out.So, we have:a⁴ - a² b² - 2a³ k + 2a k b² + a² k²Set this equal to the right side:b² (a² - b²) = a² b² - b⁴Thus, equation becomes:a⁴ - a² b² - 2a³ k + 2a k b² + a² k² = a² b² - b⁴Bring all terms to left side:a⁴ - a² b² - 2a³ k + 2a k b² + a² k² - a² b² + b⁴ = 0Simplify:a⁴ - 2a² b² + b⁴ - 2a³ k + 2a k b² + a² k² = 0Notice that a⁴ - 2a² b² + b⁴ = (a² - b²)²So,(a² - b²)² - 2a³ k + 2a k b² + a² k² = 0Let me factor terms:= (a² - b²)² + k(-2a³ + 2a b²) + a² k² = 0Factor out 2a from the linear term:= (a² - b²)² + 2a k(-a² + b²) + a² k² = 0Notice that (-a² + b²) = -(a² - b²), so:= (a² - b²)² - 2a k (a² - b²) + a² k² = 0This looks like a quadratic in (a² - b²):Let me set x = a² - b², then equation becomes:x² - 2a k x + a² k² = 0This factors as:(x - a k)² = 0Thus,x = a kBut x = a² - b², so:a² - b² = a kThus,k = (a² - b²)/a = a - (b²)/aSo, k = a - b²/aNow, recall that l = (k b)/sqrt(a² - b²)Substitute k:l = ( (a - b²/a ) b ) / sqrt(a² - b²)Simplify numerator:= (a b - b³/a ) / sqrt(a² - b²)Factor out b:= b(a - b²/a ) / sqrt(a² - b²)= b( (a² - b²)/a ) / sqrt(a² - b²)= (b (a² - b²)/a ) / sqrt(a² - b²)Simplify:= (b sqrt(a² - b²)/a )Thus,l = (b sqrt(a² - b²))/aNow, recall that point N is at (0, l), as we wanted to show.Therefore, point N has coordinates (0, l), which is the same y-coordinate as point L, which is at (a, l). Therefore, the line LN connects (a, l) to (0, l), which is a horizontal line, hence parallel to AB, which is also horizontal.Therefore, LN is parallel to AB.**Final Answer**boxed{LN parallel AB}

answer：Okay, so I have this problem where G is the centroid of triangle ABC, and there's this vector equation involving GA, GB, and GC. The equation is √7 GA sin A + 3 GB sin B + 3√7 GC sin C = 0. I need to find the measure of angle ABC, which is angle B.First, I remember that the centroid G of a triangle divides each median into a ratio of 2:1. So, GA, GB, and GC are the vectors from the centroid to the vertices A, B, and C respectively. Also, I recall that the centroid has a property where the sum of the vectors from the centroid to each vertex is zero. So, GA + GB + GC = 0. Maybe that can help me here.Looking at the given equation: √7 GA sin A + 3 GB sin B + 3√7 GC sin C = 0. It seems like a linear combination of the vectors GA, GB, and GC equals the zero vector. Since GA, GB, and GC are vectors, for their linear combination to be zero, the coefficients must satisfy certain conditions.I think that since GA + GB + GC = 0, maybe I can express one of the vectors in terms of the others. For example, GA = -GB - GC. But I'm not sure if that's directly applicable here because the coefficients in the given equation are different.Wait, another thought: if a linear combination of vectors equals zero, and the vectors are not colinear (which they aren't in a triangle), then the coefficients must be proportional in some way. Maybe the coefficients of GA, GB, and GC must be in a specific ratio.Let me write down the equation again:√7 GA sin A + 3 GB sin B + 3√7 GC sin C = 0.Since GA, GB, and GC are vectors, their coefficients must each be zero in some proportion. But I'm not sure how to handle the sines of the angles here. Maybe I can relate the sines of the angles to the sides of the triangle using the Law of Sines.The Law of Sines says that in any triangle, (a/sin A) = (b/sin B) = (c/sin C) = 2R, where R is the radius of the circumscribed circle. So, sin A = a/(2R), sin B = b/(2R), sin C = c/(2R). Maybe substituting these into the equation can help.But before that, let me think about the vectors GA, GB, and GC. Since G is the centroid, the lengths GA, GB, and GC are related to the medians of the triangle. The formula for the length of a median is known, but I don't know if that's necessary here.Alternatively, maybe I can express the vectors GA, GB, and GC in terms of the position vectors of A, B, and C. Let me denote the position vectors of A, B, and C as vectors a, b, and c respectively. Then, the centroid G has position vector (a + b + c)/3.So, vector GA is a - G = a - (a + b + c)/3 = (2a - b - c)/3. Similarly, GB = (2b - a - c)/3, and GC = (2c - a - b)/3.Substituting these into the given equation:√7 * (2a - b - c)/3 * sin A + 3 * (2b - a - c)/3 * sin B + 3√7 * (2c - a - b)/3 * sin C = 0.Simplify each term:First term: (√7 / 3)(2a - b - c) sin ASecond term: (3 / 3)(2b - a - c) sin B = (2b - a - c) sin BThird term: (3√7 / 3)(2c - a - b) sin C = √7 (2c - a - b) sin CSo, combining all terms:(√7 / 3)(2a - b - c) sin A + (2b - a - c) sin B + √7 (2c - a - b) sin C = 0.Hmm, this seems complicated. Maybe I can factor out the vectors a, b, and c.Let me collect the coefficients for a, b, and c:For vector a:(√7 / 3)(-1) sin A + (-1) sin B + (-√7) sin CFor vector b:(√7 / 3)(-1) sin A + 2 sin B + (-√7)(-1) sin CFor vector c:(√7 / 3)(-1) sin A + (-1) sin B + √7 (2) sin CWait, this might not be the right approach. Maybe I should instead consider the fact that the combination of vectors equals zero, so each component must be zero.Alternatively, since GA, GB, and GC are vectors from the centroid, they are related to each other. Maybe I can express this equation in terms of GA, GB, and GC, and then use the centroid property.Wait, another idea: since GA + GB + GC = 0, maybe I can write one of the vectors in terms of the others. For example, GA = -GB - GC. Then, substitute this into the equation.Let me try that. Substitute GA = -GB - GC into the equation:√7 (-GB - GC) sin A + 3 GB sin B + 3√7 GC sin C = 0.Expanding this:-√7 GB sin A - √7 GC sin A + 3 GB sin B + 3√7 GC sin C = 0.Now, group the terms with GB and GC:GB (-√7 sin A + 3 sin B) + GC (-√7 sin A + 3√7 sin C) = 0.Since GB and GC are vectors and they are not colinear (because G is the centroid and B and C are distinct vertices), their coefficients must each be zero. So, we have two equations:1. -√7 sin A + 3 sin B = 02. -√7 sin A + 3√7 sin C = 0Let me write these as:1. 3 sin B = √7 sin A2. 3√7 sin C = √7 sin ASimplify equation 2: divide both sides by √7:3 sin C = sin ASo, from equation 1: sin A = (3 / √7) sin BFrom equation 2: sin A = 3 sin CTherefore, (3 / √7) sin B = 3 sin C => sin C = (1 / √7) sin BSo, sin A = 3 sin C = 3 * (1 / √7) sin B = (3 / √7) sin B, which is consistent with equation 1.So, now we have expressions for sin A and sin C in terms of sin B.Since in any triangle, the sum of angles is 180 degrees, A + B + C = 180°, so A + C = 180° - B.Also, using the Law of Sines: a / sin A = b / sin B = c / sin C = 2R.Let me denote k = 2R, so a = k sin A, b = k sin B, c = k sin C.From earlier, sin A = (3 / √7) sin B, so a = k * (3 / √7) sin B = (3k / √7) sin BSimilarly, sin C = (1 / √7) sin B, so c = k * (1 / √7) sin B = (k / √7) sin BSo, sides a, b, c are proportional to (3 / √7) sin B, sin B, (1 / √7) sin B.Wait, but sides a, b, c are proportional to sin A, sin B, sin C, so actually, a : b : c = sin A : sin B : sin C = (3 / √7) sin B : sin B : (1 / √7) sin B.Simplify this ratio by dividing each term by sin B:(3 / √7) : 1 : (1 / √7)To make it cleaner, multiply each term by √7 to eliminate denominators:3 : √7 : 1So, the sides are in the ratio 3 : √7 : 1.Therefore, sides a : b : c = 3 : √7 : 1.So, let me denote a = 3k, b = √7 k, c = k, where k is some positive real number.Now, using the Law of Cosines on angle B, which is between sides a and c (since in triangle ABC, angle B is opposite side AC, which is length b).Wait, actually, in triangle ABC, side a is opposite angle A, side b opposite angle B, and side c opposite angle C.So, sides:a = BC = 3kb = AC = √7 kc = AB = kSo, angle B is at vertex B, between sides AB and BC, which are lengths c and a, so sides AB = k, BC = 3k, and AC = √7 k.So, using the Law of Cosines on angle B:AC² = AB² + BC² - 2 AB * BC * cos BSubstitute the known lengths:(√7 k)² = (k)² + (3k)² - 2 * k * 3k * cos BSimplify:7k² = k² + 9k² - 6k² cos BCombine like terms:7k² = 10k² - 6k² cos BSubtract 10k² from both sides:-3k² = -6k² cos BDivide both sides by -3k² (since k ≠ 0):1 = 2 cos BSo, cos B = 1/2Therefore, angle B is arccos(1/2), which is 60 degrees.So, angle ABC is 60 degrees.**Final Answer**The measure of angle ABC is boxed{60^circ}.

answer：Alright, so I need to find the next year after 2020 where the sum of the digits equals 4. Hmm, okay, let's break this down step by step.First, I know that the year is a four-digit number, and since we're looking for years after 2020, the first digit will be '2'. So, the year will be in the format 2XYZ, where X, Y, and Z are digits from 0 to 9.Now, the sum of all four digits should be 4. Since the first digit is already 2, the sum of the remaining three digits (X, Y, Z) should be 2. That means I need to find all combinations of three digits that add up to 2.Let me list out the possible combinations for X, Y, and Z:1. 0, 0, 22. 0, 2, 03. 2, 0, 04. 0, 1, 15. 1, 0, 16. 1, 1, 0These are all the possible combinations where the digits add up to 2. Now, I need to form years from these combinations and see which one comes after 2020.Let's go through each combination:1. 0, 0, 2: This would make the year 2002. But 2002 is before 2020, so it doesn't work.2. 0, 2, 0: This would make the year 2020. But we're looking for a year after 2020, so this is also not suitable.3. 2, 0, 0: This would make the year 2200. That's definitely after 2020.4. 0, 1, 1: This would make the year 2011. Again, 2011 is before 2020.5. 1, 0, 1: This would make the year 2101. That's after 2020.6. 1, 1, 0: This would make the year 2110. That's also after 2020.So, from the combinations, the possible years after 2020 are 2200, 2101, and 2110. Now, I need to find the next year after 2020, which means the smallest year among these.Comparing 2101, 2110, and 2200, the smallest one is 2101. Therefore, 2101 is the next year after 2020 where the sum of the digits equals 4.Wait a minute, let me double-check to make sure I didn't miss any years between 2020 and 2101 that might also satisfy the condition. For example, are there any years like 2021, 2022, etc., where the sum of digits equals 4?Let's check:- 2021: 2 + 0 + 2 + 1 = 5- 2022: 2 + 0 + 2 + 2 = 6- 2023: 2 + 0 + 2 + 3 = 7- 2024: 2 + 0 + 2 + 4 = 8- 2025: 2 + 0 + 2 + 5 = 9- 2026: 2 + 0 + 2 + 6 = 10- 2027: 2 + 0 + 2 + 7 = 11- 2028: 2 + 0 + 2 + 8 = 12- 2029: 2 + 0 + 2 + 9 = 13- 2030: 2 + 0 + 3 + 0 = 5- 2031: 2 + 0 + 3 + 1 = 6- 2032: 2 + 0 + 3 + 2 = 7- 2033: 2 + 0 + 3 + 3 = 8- 2034: 2 + 0 + 3 + 4 = 9- 2035: 2 + 0 + 3 + 5 = 10- 2036: 2 + 0 + 3 + 6 = 11- 2037: 2 + 0 + 3 + 7 = 12- 2038: 2 + 0 + 3 + 8 = 13- 2039: 2 + 0 + 3 + 9 = 14- 2040: 2 + 0 + 4 + 0 = 6- 2041: 2 + 0 + 4 + 1 = 7- 2042: 2 + 0 + 4 + 2 = 8- 2043: 2 + 0 + 4 + 3 = 9- 2044: 2 + 0 + 4 + 4 = 10- 2045: 2 + 0 + 4 + 5 = 11- 2046: 2 + 0 + 4 + 6 = 12- 2047: 2 + 0 + 4 + 7 = 13- 2048: 2 + 0 + 4 + 8 = 14- 2049: 2 + 0 + 4 + 9 = 15- 2050: 2 + 0 + 5 + 0 = 7- 2051: 2 + 0 + 5 + 1 = 8- 2052: 2 + 0 + 5 + 2 = 9- 2053: 2 + 0 + 5 + 3 = 10- 2054: 2 + 0 + 5 + 4 = 11- 2055: 2 + 0 + 5 + 5 = 12- 2056: 2 + 0 + 5 + 6 = 13- 2057: 2 + 0 + 5 + 7 = 14- 2058: 2 + 0 + 5 + 8 = 15- 2059: 2 + 0 + 5 + 9 = 16- 2060: 2 + 0 + 6 + 0 = 8- 2061: 2 + 0 + 6 + 1 = 9- 2062: 2 + 0 + 6 + 2 = 10- 2063: 2 + 0 + 6 + 3 = 11- 2064: 2 + 0 + 6 + 4 = 12- 2065: 2 + 0 + 6 + 5 = 13- 2066: 2 + 0 + 6 + 6 = 14- 2067: 2 + 0 + 6 + 7 = 15- 2068: 2 + 0 + 6 + 8 = 16- 2069: 2 + 0 + 6 + 9 = 17- 2070: 2 + 0 + 7 + 0 = 9- 2071: 2 + 0 + 7 + 1 = 10- 2072: 2 + 0 + 7 + 2 = 11- 2073: 2 + 0 + 7 + 3 = 12- 2074: 2 + 0 + 7 + 4 = 13- 2075: 2 + 0 + 7 + 5 = 14- 2076: 2 + 0 + 7 + 6 = 15- 2077: 2 + 0 + 7 + 7 = 16- 2078: 2 + 0 + 7 + 8 = 17- 2079: 2 + 0 + 7 + 9 = 18- 2080: 2 + 0 + 8 + 0 = 10- 2081: 2 + 0 + 8 + 1 = 11- 2082: 2 + 0 + 8 + 2 = 12- 2083: 2 + 0 + 8 + 3 = 13- 2084: 2 + 0 + 8 + 4 = 14- 2085: 2 + 0 + 8 + 5 = 15- 2086: 2 + 0 + 8 + 6 = 16- 2087: 2 + 0 + 8 + 7 = 17- 2088: 2 + 0 + 8 + 8 = 18- 2089: 2 + 0 + 8 + 9 = 19- 2090: 2 + 0 + 9 + 0 = 11- 2091: 2 + 0 + 9 + 1 = 12- 2092: 2 + 0 + 9 + 2 = 13- 2093: 2 + 0 + 9 + 3 = 14- 2094: 2 + 0 + 9 + 4 = 15- 2095: 2 + 0 + 9 + 5 = 16- 2096: 2 + 0 + 9 + 6 = 17- 2097: 2 + 0 + 9 + 7 = 18- 2098: 2 + 0 + 9 + 8 = 19- 2099: 2 + 0 + 9 + 9 = 20Wow, that's a lot of years to check, but none of them have a digit sum of 4. So, it seems like 2101 is indeed the next year after 2020 where the sum of the digits equals 4.Just to be thorough, let me check 2101:2 + 1 + 0 + 1 = 4Yes, that adds up to 4. And 2101 is after 2020, so it fits the criteria.I think I've covered all possibilities and double-checked to ensure there are no other years between 2020 and 2101 that meet the condition. Therefore, I'm confident that 2101 is the correct answer.

answer：Okay, so I have this problem where two cyclists start at the same time from point A to point B. There are two specific conditions given:1. When the first cyclist has traveled half the distance, the second cyclist has 24 km left to travel.2. When the second cyclist has traveled half the distance, the first cyclist has 15 km left to travel.I need to find the total distance between points A and B. Hmm, let me think about how to approach this.First, let's denote the total distance between A and B as ( s ) kilometers. Let’s also denote the speeds of the first and second cyclists as ( v_1 ) and ( v_2 ) respectively. Since they start at the same time, the time taken to reach certain points will be the same for both cyclists at those specific instances.Let me break down the first condition. When the first cyclist has traveled half the distance, which is ( frac{s}{2} ), the second cyclist has 24 km left. That means the second cyclist has already traveled ( s - 24 ) km. Since they started at the same time, the time taken by the first cyclist to travel ( frac{s}{2} ) km is the same as the time taken by the second cyclist to travel ( s - 24 ) km.So, time is equal to distance divided by speed. Therefore, the time taken by the first cyclist is ( frac{frac{s}{2}}{v_1} ) and the time taken by the second cyclist is ( frac{s - 24}{v_2} ). Since these times are equal, I can write the equation:[frac{frac{s}{2}}{v_1} = frac{s - 24}{v_2}]Simplifying this, I get:[frac{s}{2v_1} = frac{s - 24}{v_2}]Let me note this as equation (1):[frac{s}{2v_1} = frac{s - 24}{v_2}]Now, moving on to the second condition. When the second cyclist has traveled half the distance, which is ( frac{s}{2} ), the first cyclist has 15 km left. That means the first cyclist has already traveled ( s - 15 ) km. Again, since they started at the same time, the time taken by the second cyclist to travel ( frac{s}{2} ) km is the same as the time taken by the first cyclist to travel ( s - 15 ) km.So, the time taken by the second cyclist is ( frac{frac{s}{2}}{v_2} ) and the time taken by the first cyclist is ( frac{s - 15}{v_1} ). Setting these equal gives:[frac{frac{s}{2}}{v_2} = frac{s - 15}{v_1}]Simplifying this, I get:[frac{s}{2v_2} = frac{s - 15}{v_1}]Let me note this as equation (2):[frac{s}{2v_2} = frac{s - 15}{v_1}]Now, I have two equations:1. ( frac{s}{2v_1} = frac{s - 24}{v_2} )2. ( frac{s}{2v_2} = frac{s - 15}{v_1} )I need to solve these two equations to find ( s ). Let me see how I can manipulate these equations to eliminate ( v_1 ) and ( v_2 ).From equation (1), I can express ( v_1 ) in terms of ( v_2 ):[frac{s}{2v_1} = frac{s - 24}{v_2} implies frac{v_1}{v_2} = frac{s}{2(s - 24)}]Similarly, from equation (2), I can express ( v_2 ) in terms of ( v_1 ):[frac{s}{2v_2} = frac{s - 15}{v_1} implies frac{v_2}{v_1} = frac{s}{2(s - 15)}]Wait, so from equation (1), ( frac{v_1}{v_2} = frac{s}{2(s - 24)} ), and from equation (2), ( frac{v_2}{v_1} = frac{s}{2(s - 15)} ). Notice that ( frac{v_1}{v_2} ) and ( frac{v_2}{v_1} ) are reciprocals of each other. So, if I denote ( frac{v_1}{v_2} = k ), then ( frac{v_2}{v_1} = frac{1}{k} ).From equation (1):[k = frac{s}{2(s - 24)}]From equation (2):[frac{1}{k} = frac{s}{2(s - 15)}]So, substituting ( k ) from equation (1) into equation (2):[frac{1}{frac{s}{2(s - 24)}} = frac{s}{2(s - 15)}]Simplifying the left side:[frac{2(s - 24)}{s} = frac{s}{2(s - 15)}]Now, cross-multiplying to solve for ( s ):[2(s - 24) times 2(s - 15) = s times s]Simplify the left side:[4(s - 24)(s - 15) = s^2]Expanding ( (s - 24)(s - 15) ):[(s - 24)(s - 15) = s^2 - 15s - 24s + 360 = s^2 - 39s + 360]So, substituting back:[4(s^2 - 39s + 360) = s^2]Expanding:[4s^2 - 156s + 1440 = s^2]Subtract ( s^2 ) from both sides:[3s^2 - 156s + 1440 = 0]Divide the entire equation by 3 to simplify:[s^2 - 52s + 480 = 0]Now, we have a quadratic equation:[s^2 - 52s + 480 = 0]To solve for ( s ), we can use the quadratic formula:[s = frac{52 pm sqrt{(-52)^2 - 4 times 1 times 480}}{2 times 1}]Calculating the discriminant:[(-52)^2 = 2704][4 times 1 times 480 = 1920][sqrt{2704 - 1920} = sqrt{784} = 28]So, the solutions are:[s = frac{52 pm 28}{2}]Calculating both possibilities:1. ( s = frac{52 + 28}{2} = frac{80}{2} = 40 )2. ( s = frac{52 - 28}{2} = frac{24}{2} = 12 )Now, we have two possible solutions: ( s = 40 ) km and ( s = 12 ) km. However, we need to check which one makes sense in the context of the problem.If ( s = 12 ) km, then when the first cyclist has traveled half the distance, which is 6 km, the second cyclist would have 24 km left. But the total distance is only 12 km, so the second cyclist can't have 24 km left. This is impossible. Therefore, ( s = 12 ) km is not a valid solution.Thus, the only valid solution is ( s = 40 ) km.To double-check, let's verify both conditions with ( s = 40 ) km.1. When the first cyclist has traveled half the distance, which is 20 km, the second cyclist has 24 km left. So, the second cyclist has traveled ( 40 - 24 = 16 ) km. The time taken by the first cyclist to travel 20 km is ( frac{20}{v_1} ), and the time taken by the second cyclist to travel 16 km is ( frac{16}{v_2} ). These times are equal, so ( frac{20}{v_1} = frac{16}{v_2} ), which simplifies to ( frac{v_1}{v_2} = frac{20}{16} = frac{5}{4} ).2. When the second cyclist has traveled half the distance, which is 20 km, the first cyclist has 15 km left. So, the first cyclist has traveled ( 40 - 15 = 25 ) km. The time taken by the second cyclist to travel 20 km is ( frac{20}{v_2} ), and the time taken by the first cyclist to travel 25 km is ( frac{25}{v_1} ). These times are equal, so ( frac{20}{v_2} = frac{25}{v_1} ), which simplifies to ( frac{v_1}{v_2} = frac{25}{20} = frac{5}{4} ).Both conditions give the same ratio ( frac{v_1}{v_2} = frac{5}{4} ), which is consistent. Therefore, ( s = 40 ) km is indeed the correct solution.**Final Answer**The distance between points ( A ) and ( B ) is boxed{40} kilometers.

answer：Okay, so I have this problem here where I need to find the minimum real number L such that the area of the intersection of a set I and a disk of radius r is less than L times r squared for all positive r. The set I is defined by the inequality x > (y⁴/9 + 2015)^(1/4). Hmm, that looks a bit complicated, but let me try to break it down step by step.First, I need to understand what the set I looks like. The inequality is x > (y⁴/9 + 2015)^(1/4). So, for any point (x, y), if x is greater than this expression, it's in set I. Let me see if I can simplify this expression or at least understand its behavior.Looking at (y⁴/9 + 2015)^(1/4), it's the fourth root of (y⁴/9 + 2015). For large values of y, the term y⁴/9 will dominate over 2015, right? So, for very large y, this expression is approximately (y⁴/9)^(1/4), which simplifies to |y|/√3. So, for large |y|, the inequality becomes x > |y|/√3. That makes sense because as y gets larger, the 2015 becomes negligible.So, for large y, the boundary of set I is roughly the lines x = y/√3 and x = -y/√3. These are straight lines with slopes 1/√3 and -1/√3, which correspond to angles of 30 degrees above and below the x-axis. Wait, actually, 1/√3 is approximately 0.577, which is the tangent of 30 degrees. So, these lines make 30-degree angles with the x-axis.Therefore, the region I is everything to the right of these two lines. So, it's like a region that's bounded on the left by these two lines and extends to the right infinitely. Now, the disk x² + y² ≤ r² is a circle centered at the origin with radius r. The intersection of I and this disk would be the part of the circle that lies to the right of these two lines.I need to find the area of this intersection, which is f(r), and then find the smallest L such that f(r) < Lr² for all r > 0.Let me visualize this. The circle of radius r intersects the lines x = y/√3 and x = -y/√3. The area of the intersection would be the area of the circle that's to the right of these two lines. Since these lines are symmetric with respect to the x-axis, the intersection area will also be symmetric above and below the x-axis.So, maybe I can compute the area in the upper half-plane and then double it. Let's consider the first quadrant where y is positive. The line x = y/√3 makes a 30-degree angle with the x-axis. The intersection area in the first quadrant would be the sector of the circle from 0 to 30 degrees, right?Wait, no, actually, the region I is x > y/√3, which is to the right of the line. So, in the first quadrant, the area of intersection would be the part of the circle where x > y/√3. That is, it's the part of the circle in the first quadrant that's to the right of the line x = y/√3.Similarly, in the fourth quadrant, it's the part of the circle where x > -y/√3, which is to the right of the line x = -y/√3.So, in total, the intersection area is the union of these two regions in the first and fourth quadrants. Since both regions are symmetric, I can compute the area in the first quadrant and multiply by 2.Let me try to compute this area. In polar coordinates, the circle is r = constant, and the lines x = y/√3 correspond to θ = 30 degrees or π/6 radians. So, in the first quadrant, the region of intersection is from θ = π/6 to θ = π/2.Wait, no. If the line is x = y/√3, which is θ = π/6, then the region x > y/√3 is θ < π/6. So, actually, the area to the right of the line in the first quadrant is the sector from θ = 0 to θ = π/6.Similarly, in the fourth quadrant, the line x = -y/√3 is θ = -π/6, so the region x > -y/√3 is θ > -π/6. So, the area in the fourth quadrant is the sector from θ = -π/6 to θ = 0.Therefore, the total intersection area is the sum of these two sectors. Each sector has an angle of π/6, so the total angle is π/3.The area of a sector with angle θ in a circle of radius r is (1/2) r² θ. So, the area of each sector is (1/2) r² (π/6). Since there are two such sectors, the total area is 2 * (1/2) r² (π/6) = (π/6) r².Wait, but this seems too straightforward. Let me double-check. The region I is x > (y⁴/9 + 2015)^(1/4). For large y, this is approximately x > |y|/√3, but for small y, the term 2015 is significant. So, maybe my approximation isn't valid for all y.Hmm, that's a good point. For small y, the inequality x > (y⁴/9 + 2015)^(1/4) is approximately x > (2015)^(1/4). Let me compute (2015)^(1/4). 2015 is between 6⁴=1296 and 7⁴=2401, so (2015)^(1/4) is approximately 6.7 or something. So, for small y, the boundary is roughly x = 6.7.Therefore, the region I is bounded on the left by x = 6.7 for small y and transitions to x > |y|/√3 for larger y. So, the intersection with the disk x² + y² ≤ r² will depend on the value of r.If r is less than 6.7, then the entire disk is to the left of x = 6.7, so the intersection area f(r) would be zero because x > 6.7 is outside the disk. Wait, no, actually, if r is less than 6.7, then the disk doesn't reach x = 6.7, so the intersection is empty, meaning f(r) = 0.But if r is greater than 6.7, then the disk will start overlapping with the region I. So, for r > 6.7, f(r) is the area of the disk where x > (y⁴/9 + 2015)^(1/4). But for r much larger than 6.7, the 2015 term becomes negligible, and the boundary is approximately x > |y|/√3, as I thought earlier.Therefore, for large r, f(r) is approximately the area of the sector with angle π/3, which is (π/3) r² / 2 = (π/6) r². Wait, no, the area of a sector is (1/2) r² θ. So, for θ = π/3, it's (1/2) r² (π/3) = (π/6) r². But since we have two such sectors (above and below the x-axis), the total area is 2*(π/6) r² = (π/3) r².Wait, so for large r, f(r) ≈ (π/3) r². Therefore, f(r)/r² ≈ π/3. So, if I want f(r) < L r² for all r > 0, then L must be at least π/3. But is π/3 the minimal such L?Wait, but for small r, f(r) is zero because the disk doesn't reach the region I. So, for small r, f(r)/r² is zero. As r increases beyond 6.7, f(r) starts increasing, and for large r, f(r)/r² approaches π/3. Therefore, the ratio f(r)/r² increases from zero to π/3 as r increases.Therefore, the maximum value of f(r)/r² is π/3, which occurs as r approaches infinity. So, to have f(r) < L r² for all r > 0, L must be at least π/3. Since for any L > π/3, the inequality will hold for all r, but the minimal such L is π/3.Wait, but let me make sure. Is the area f(r) exactly equal to (π/3) r² for large r? Or is it an approximation?Actually, for large r, the boundary x = (y⁴/9 + 2015)^(1/4) is approximately x = |y|/√3, so the intersection area is approximately the sector with angle π/3, which is (π/3) r² / 2 * 2 = (π/3) r². So, yes, it's exact in the limit as r approaches infinity.Therefore, the minimal L is π/3 because for any L less than π/3, there exists an r (sufficiently large) such that f(r)/r² = π/3 > L, which would violate the inequality. Hence, the minimal L is π/3.But wait, let me think again. The problem says "for all r > 0". So, even though for small r, f(r) is zero, and for large r, f(r) approaches π/3 r², the maximum ratio f(r)/r² is π/3. Therefore, L must be at least π/3. Since we can choose L = π/3, and for all r, f(r) ≤ π/3 r², with equality in the limit as r approaches infinity.Therefore, the minimal L is π/3.I think that's the answer. Let me just recap:1. The set I is x > (y⁴/9 + 2015)^(1/4).2. For large y, this is approximately x > |y|/√3.3. The intersection of I with the disk x² + y² ≤ r² is a sector with angle π/3.4. The area of this sector is (π/3) r² / 2 * 2 = (π/3) r².5. Therefore, f(r) ≈ (π/3) r² for large r.6. Hence, the minimal L is π/3.Yeah, that makes sense. I think I'm confident with this answer.

answer：First, I notice that both terms in the expression have the same denominator, ( a + 1 ). This means I can combine the fractions by subtracting the numerators directly.So, I rewrite the expression as:[frac{a^2 - 1}{a + 1}]Next, I recognize that the numerator ( a^2 - 1 ) is a difference of squares, which can be factored into ( (a + 1)(a - 1) ).Substituting this back into the expression gives:[frac{(a + 1)(a - 1)}{a + 1}]Now, I can simplify the expression by canceling out the common factor of ( a + 1 ) in the numerator and the denominator, leaving me with:[a - 1]Finally, I substitute ( a = 3 ) into the simplified expression:[3 - 1 = 2]
