question:Given an ellipse C:frac{{x}^{2}}{{a}^{2}}+frac{{y}^{2}}{{b}^{2}}=1left(a>b>0right) with an eccentricity of frac{sqrt{2}}{2}, and a point left(2,sqrt{2}right) on C.(I) Find the equation of C;(II) Line l does not pass through the origin O, and is not parallel to the coordinate axes. l intersects C at two points A and B. The midpoint of the line segment AB is M. Prove that the product of the slopes of lines OM and l is constant.

answer:Alright, so I've got this problem about an ellipse, and I need to find its equation and then prove something about the slopes of certain lines. Let me try to break this down step by step.First, part (I) asks for the equation of the ellipse C. The general form of an ellipse is given as (x²/a²) + (y²/b²) = 1, where a > b > 0. The ellipse has an eccentricity of √2/2, and it passes through the point (2, √2). So, I need to find the values of a² and b² to write the specific equation of this ellipse.I remember that the eccentricity e of an ellipse is given by e = c/a, where c is the distance from the center to each focus. Also, for an ellipse, c² = a² - b². Since the eccentricity is given as √2/2, I can write:e = √2/2 = c/aSo, c = (√2/2) * aThen, squaring both sides, c² = (2/4) * a² = (1/2) * a²But c² is also equal to a² - b², so:a² - b² = (1/2) * a²Subtracting (1/2)a² from both sides:a² - (1/2)a² - b² = 0Which simplifies to:(1/2)a² - b² = 0Or:b² = (1/2)a²So, b² is half of a². That's one equation relating a² and b².Now, since the point (2, √2) lies on the ellipse, it must satisfy the ellipse equation:(2²)/a² + ( (√2)² )/b² = 1Calculating the squares:4/a² + 2/b² = 1But from earlier, we know that b² = (1/2)a². Let's substitute that into the equation:4/a² + 2/( (1/2)a² ) = 1Simplify the second term:2/( (1/2)a² ) = 2 * (2/a²) = 4/a²So, now the equation becomes:4/a² + 4/a² = 1Which simplifies to:8/a² = 1Therefore, a² = 8Now, since b² = (1/2)a², substituting a² = 8:b² = (1/2)*8 = 4So, now we have a² = 8 and b² = 4. Therefore, the equation of the ellipse is:x²/8 + y²/4 = 1That should be the answer to part (I). Let me just double-check my steps. I used the eccentricity formula, related c and a, then used the point on the ellipse to find a² and b². It seems correct.Moving on to part (II). This part is a bit more involved. We have a line l that doesn't pass through the origin and isn't parallel to the coordinate axes. It intersects the ellipse at two points A and B. The midpoint of AB is M. We need to prove that the product of the slopes of lines OM and l is constant.Hmm, okay. So, let's denote the line l as y = kx + m, where k is the slope of l and m is the y-intercept. Since the line doesn't pass through the origin, m ≠ 0, and since it's not parallel to the axes, k ≠ 0.Let me consider points A and B on the ellipse. Let’s denote their coordinates as A(x₁, y₁) and B(x₂, y₂). The midpoint M will have coordinates ((x₁ + x₂)/2, (y₁ + y₂)/2).Since both A and B lie on the ellipse, their coordinates satisfy the ellipse equation:x₁²/8 + y₁²/4 = 1x₂²/8 + y₂²/4 = 1Also, since both points lie on the line l, we have:y₁ = kx₁ + my₂ = kx₂ + mSo, substituting y₁ and y₂ into the ellipse equation:x₁²/8 + (kx₁ + m)²/4 = 1x₂²/8 + (kx₂ + m)²/4 = 1Let me expand these equations:For point A:x₁²/8 + (k²x₁² + 2k m x₁ + m²)/4 = 1Multiply through by 8 to eliminate denominators:x₁² + 2(k²x₁² + 2k m x₁ + m²) = 8Simplify:x₁² + 2k²x₁² + 4k m x₁ + 2m² = 8Combine like terms:(1 + 2k²)x₁² + 4k m x₁ + (2m² - 8) = 0Similarly, for point B, we get the same quadratic equation:(1 + 2k²)x² + 4k m x + (2m² - 8) = 0So, both x₁ and x₂ are roots of this quadratic equation. Therefore, by Vieta's formulas, the sum of the roots x₁ + x₂ is equal to -B/A, where A is the coefficient of x² and B is the coefficient of x.So,x₁ + x₂ = - (4k m) / (1 + 2k²)Therefore, the x-coordinate of the midpoint M is:x_M = (x₁ + x₂)/2 = - (2k m) / (1 + 2k²)Similarly, the y-coordinate of M can be found using the equation of the line l:y_M = k x_M + m = k*(-2k m)/(1 + 2k²) + m = (-2k² m)/(1 + 2k²) + mCombine the terms:y_M = (-2k² m + m(1 + 2k²)) / (1 + 2k²) = ( -2k² m + m + 2k² m ) / (1 + 2k²) = m / (1 + 2k²)So, the coordinates of M are:x_M = -2k m / (1 + 2k²)y_M = m / (1 + 2k²)Now, we need to find the slope of OM. The line OM connects the origin O(0,0) to M(x_M, y_M). The slope k_OM is:k_OM = y_M / x_M = [m / (1 + 2k²)] / [ -2k m / (1 + 2k²) ] = [m / (1 + 2k²)] * [ (1 + 2k²)/(-2k m) ] = 1 / (-2k) = -1/(2k)So, the slope of OM is -1/(2k).The slope of line l is k.Therefore, the product of the slopes is:k_OM * k = (-1/(2k)) * k = -1/2Wow, that's a constant! It doesn't depend on k or m, which are parameters of the line l. So, regardless of the line l (as long as it meets the given conditions), the product of the slopes of OM and l is always -1/2.Let me just recap to make sure I didn't make any mistakes. I started by assuming the line l has the form y = kx + m, substituted into the ellipse equation, found the sum of roots using Vieta's, calculated the midpoint M, then found the slope of OM. Then, multiplied the two slopes and saw that it simplifies to -1/2. Seems solid.I think that's it. So, the product is indeed a constant, specifically -1/2.**Final Answer**(I) The equation of the ellipse is boxed{dfrac{x^2}{8} + dfrac{y^2}{4} = 1}.(II) The product of the slopes of lines (OM) and (l) is boxed{-dfrac{1}{2}}.

question:Consider the function f(x)= dfrac {1}{2}sin x+ dfrac { sqrt {3}}{2}cos x for xinmathbb{R}.(1) Find the smallest positive period and the range of the function f(x).(2) Let triangle ABC have interior angles A, B, and C, with opposite sides a, b, and c respectively. If f(A)= dfrac { sqrt {3}}{2} and a= dfrac { sqrt {3}}{2}b, find the value of angle C.

answer:Alright, so I have this function ( f(x) = frac{1}{2}sin x + frac{sqrt{3}}{2}cos x ). I need to find its smallest positive period and its range. Hmm, okay. I remember that functions like ( sin x ) and ( cos x ) have periods of ( 2pi ), but since this function is a combination of both, I wonder if it can be rewritten in a simpler form.Wait, maybe I can express this as a single sine or cosine function using the sine addition formula. The formula is ( sin(a + b) = sin a cos b + cos a sin b ). Let me see if I can match the coefficients.Looking at ( f(x) ), it's ( frac{1}{2}sin x + frac{sqrt{3}}{2}cos x ). If I think of this as ( sin(x + phi) ), then expanding it would give ( sin x cos phi + cos x sin phi ). Comparing coefficients:- Coefficient of ( sin x ): ( frac{1}{2} = cos phi )- Coefficient of ( cos x ): ( frac{sqrt{3}}{2} = sin phi )So, ( cos phi = frac{1}{2} ) and ( sin phi = frac{sqrt{3}}{2} ). What angle ( phi ) satisfies both of these? I remember that ( cos frac{pi}{3} = frac{1}{2} ) and ( sin frac{pi}{3} = frac{sqrt{3}}{2} ). So, ( phi = frac{pi}{3} ).Therefore, ( f(x) = sinleft(x + frac{pi}{3}right) ). That simplifies things a lot!Now, the period of ( sin(x + frac{pi}{3}) ) is the same as the period of ( sin x ), which is ( 2pi ). So, the smallest positive period of ( f(x) ) is ( 2pi ).For the range, since the sine function oscillates between -1 and 1, the range of ( f(x) ) is also between -1 and 1. So, the range is ( [-1, 1] ).Okay, that was part (1). Now, moving on to part (2). We have triangle ( ABC ) with angles ( A ), ( B ), ( C ) opposite sides ( a ), ( b ), ( c ) respectively. Given that ( f(A) = frac{sqrt{3}}{2} ) and ( a = frac{sqrt{3}}{2}b ), we need to find angle ( C ).First, let's use the expression for ( f(x) ) we found earlier. So, ( f(A) = sinleft(A + frac{pi}{3}right) = frac{sqrt{3}}{2} ).So, ( sinleft(A + frac{pi}{3}right) = frac{sqrt{3}}{2} ). Let's solve for ( A ).The sine function equals ( frac{sqrt{3}}{2} ) at ( frac{pi}{3} ) and ( frac{2pi}{3} ) within the interval ( [0, 2pi] ). But since ( A ) is an interior angle of a triangle, it must be between 0 and ( pi ). Therefore, ( A + frac{pi}{3} ) must be between ( frac{pi}{3} ) and ( frac{4pi}{3} ).So, possible solutions for ( A + frac{pi}{3} ) are ( frac{pi}{3} ) and ( frac{2pi}{3} ). Let's check:1. If ( A + frac{pi}{3} = frac{pi}{3} ), then ( A = 0 ). But that's not possible because angles in a triangle can't be zero.2. If ( A + frac{pi}{3} = frac{2pi}{3} ), then ( A = frac{pi}{3} ).So, ( A = frac{pi}{3} ).Now, using the Law of Sines: ( frac{a}{sin A} = frac{b}{sin B} = frac{c}{sin C} ).Given ( a = frac{sqrt{3}}{2}b ), let's plug in the known values.( frac{frac{sqrt{3}}{2}b}{sin frac{pi}{3}} = frac{b}{sin B} )Simplify ( sin frac{pi}{3} = frac{sqrt{3}}{2} ), so:( frac{frac{sqrt{3}}{2}b}{frac{sqrt{3}}{2}} = frac{b}{sin B} )Simplify numerator and denominator:( frac{sqrt{3}}{2}b div frac{sqrt{3}}{2} = b ), so:( b = frac{b}{sin B} )Divide both sides by ( b ) (assuming ( b neq 0 )):( 1 = frac{1}{sin B} )So, ( sin B = 1 ). The angle whose sine is 1 is ( frac{pi}{2} ). So, ( B = frac{pi}{2} ).Now, since the sum of angles in a triangle is ( pi ), we can find ( C ):( A + B + C = pi )( frac{pi}{3} + frac{pi}{2} + C = pi )Let's compute ( frac{pi}{3} + frac{pi}{2} ):Convert to common denominator, which is 6:( frac{2pi}{6} + frac{3pi}{6} = frac{5pi}{6} )So,( frac{5pi}{6} + C = pi )Subtract ( frac{5pi}{6} ) from both sides:( C = pi - frac{5pi}{6} = frac{pi}{6} )Therefore, angle ( C ) is ( frac{pi}{6} ).Wait, let me double-check everything to make sure I didn't make a mistake.Starting from ( f(A) = frac{sqrt{3}}{2} ), we correctly found ( A = frac{pi}{3} ). Then, using the Law of Sines, we substituted ( a = frac{sqrt{3}}{2}b ) and found ( sin B = 1 ), leading to ( B = frac{pi}{2} ). Then, summing the angles, we got ( C = frac{pi}{6} ). That all seems correct.I think that's solid. So, angle ( C ) is ( frac{pi}{6} ).**Final Answer**(1) The smallest positive period is (boxed{2pi}) and the range is (boxed{[-1, 1]}).(2) The value of angle ( C ) is (boxed{dfrac{pi}{6}}).

question:The real function f has the property that whenever c, d, m are positive integers such that c + d = 3^m, the equation [ f(c) + f(d) = m^2 ] holds. What is f(243)?

answer:Okay, so I've got this problem here about a real function ( f ) with a specific property. It says that whenever ( c ), ( d ), and ( m ) are positive integers such that ( c + d = 3^m ), then the equation ( f(c) + f(d) = m^2 ) holds. And the question is asking for ( f(243) ).First off, I need to understand the property of the function ( f ). It seems like whenever two positive integers add up to a power of 3, the sum of their function values is the square of the exponent. So, for example, if ( c + d = 3^m ), then ( f(c) + f(d) = m^2 ).Given that, I need to find ( f(243) ). Hmm, 243 is a number I recognize. Let me check: ( 3^5 = 243 ). So, 243 is ( 3^5 ). That might be useful.Since ( 243 = 3^5 ), I can think of ( c = 243 ) and ( d = 0 ) because ( 243 + 0 = 243 ). But wait, the problem states that ( c ), ( d ), and ( m ) are positive integers. So, does ( d = 0 ) count as a positive integer? I don't think so because 0 is neither positive nor negative. So, maybe I can't use ( d = 0 ).Hmm, so I need to find positive integers ( c ) and ( d ) such that ( c + d = 3^5 = 243 ). Then, ( f(c) + f(d) = 5^2 = 25 ). So, if I can find such pairs ( c ) and ( d ), I can set up equations involving ( f(c) ) and ( f(d) ).But wait, if I don't know ( f(c) ) or ( f(d) ), how can I find ( f(243) )? Maybe I need to find a way to express ( f(243) ) in terms of other values of ( f ) that I can relate back to known quantities.Let me think recursively. Suppose I can express 243 as the sum of two smaller numbers, each of which is a power of 3. For example, ( 243 = 81 + 162 ). But 162 isn't a power of 3. Wait, 81 is ( 3^4 ), and 243 is ( 3^5 ). Maybe I can use the property with ( m = 5 ).So, ( c + d = 3^5 = 243 ). Let me choose ( c = 81 ) and ( d = 162 ). Then, ( f(81) + f(162) = 25 ). But I don't know ( f(162) ) either. Maybe I can break down 162 further.162 is ( 81 + 81 ), which is ( 2 times 81 ). So, ( 162 = 81 + 81 ). But wait, ( 81 + 81 = 162 ), which is ( 2 times 81 ). Is 162 a power of 3? Let me check: ( 3^4 = 81 ), ( 3^5 = 243 ). So, 162 is not a power of 3. Hmm.Alternatively, maybe I can express 162 as ( 81 + 81 ), but since ( 81 + 81 = 162 ), which is ( 2 times 81 ), and 81 is ( 3^4 ). So, perhaps I can use the property again for ( c = 81 ) and ( d = 81 ), but wait, ( c + d = 162 ), which is not a power of 3. So, maybe that's not helpful.Wait, perhaps I need to find another pair ( c ) and ( d ) such that ( c + d = 243 ) and both ( c ) and ( d ) are powers of 3. Let me see: 243 is ( 3^5 ). The next lower power is ( 3^4 = 81 ). So, 243 - 81 = 162, which isn't a power of 3. The next lower power is ( 3^3 = 27 ). 243 - 27 = 216, which isn't a power of 3. ( 3^2 = 9 ), 243 - 9 = 234, not a power. ( 3^1 = 3 ), 243 - 3 = 240, not a power. So, it seems that 243 can't be expressed as the sum of two smaller powers of 3.Hmm, so maybe I need a different approach. Perhaps I can consider that 243 is ( 3^5 ), and think about how the function behaves with powers of 3.Let me try to find a pattern or a recursive formula. Suppose I consider ( c = 3^{m-1} ) and ( d = 3^{m-1} ). Then, ( c + d = 2 times 3^{m-1} ). But that's not equal to ( 3^m ) unless ( m = 1 ), because ( 2 times 3^{m-1} = 3^m ) implies ( 2 = 3 ), which is false. So, that approach doesn't work.Alternatively, maybe I can express ( 3^m ) as ( 3^{m-1} + 2 times 3^{m-1} ). Wait, ( 3^{m-1} + 2 times 3^{m-1} = 3^m ). So, ( c = 3^{m-1} ) and ( d = 2 times 3^{m-1} ). Then, ( f(3^{m-1}) + f(2 times 3^{m-1}) = m^2 ).But I don't know ( f(2 times 3^{m-1}) ). Maybe I can express ( 2 times 3^{m-1} ) as another sum. Let's see, ( 2 times 3^{m-1} = 3^{m-1} + 3^{m-1} ). So, ( f(3^{m-1}) + f(3^{m-1}) = (m-1)^2 ). Wait, no, because ( c + d = 2 times 3^{m-1} ), which isn't a power of 3 unless ( m = 1 ), which gives ( 2 times 3^{0} = 2 ), which isn't a power of 3. So, that doesn't help.Hmm, maybe I need to consider that ( f(c) ) is related to the exponent in the power of 3 that ( c ) is part of. For example, if ( c = 3^k ), then maybe ( f(c) ) is related to ( k ). Let me test this idea.Suppose ( c = 3^k ) and ( d = 3^m - 3^k ). Then, ( f(3^k) + f(3^m - 3^k) = m^2 ). But without knowing more about ( f ), this is just speculation.Wait, maybe I can try small values of ( m ) and see if I can find a pattern.Let's start with ( m = 1 ). Then, ( 3^1 = 3 ). So, ( c + d = 3 ). The positive integer pairs are (1,2) and (2,1). So, ( f(1) + f(2) = 1^2 = 1 ).Similarly, for ( m = 2 ), ( 3^2 = 9 ). So, ( c + d = 9 ). The pairs are (1,8), (2,7), (3,6), (4,5), etc. So, ( f(1) + f(8) = 4 ), ( f(2) + f(7) = 4 ), ( f(3) + f(6) = 4 ), ( f(4) + f(5) = 4 ).Wait, but I don't know any of these values yet. Maybe I can try to find ( f(1) ) first.From ( m = 1 ), ( f(1) + f(2) = 1 ). Let's denote ( f(1) = a ), so ( f(2) = 1 - a ).Now, for ( m = 2 ), let's take ( c = 1 ), ( d = 8 ). Then, ( f(1) + f(8) = 4 ). So, ( a + f(8) = 4 ), which gives ( f(8) = 4 - a ).Similarly, taking ( c = 2 ), ( d = 7 ), we get ( f(2) + f(7) = 4 ). Since ( f(2) = 1 - a ), then ( f(7) = 4 - (1 - a) = 3 + a ).Continuing, ( c = 3 ), ( d = 6 ): ( f(3) + f(6) = 4 ). But I don't know ( f(3) ) or ( f(6) ).Similarly, ( c = 4 ), ( d = 5 ): ( f(4) + f(5) = 4 ). Again, unknowns.This seems to be getting complicated. Maybe I need another approach.Wait, perhaps I can consider that ( f(c) ) is related to the number of times 3 divides into ( c ). For example, if ( c ) is a multiple of 3, maybe ( f(c) ) is related to the exponent in its prime factorization.But I'm not sure. Let me think differently.Suppose I consider ( c = 3^{m-1} ) and ( d = 2 times 3^{m-1} ). Then, ( c + d = 3^m ). So, ( f(3^{m-1}) + f(2 times 3^{m-1}) = m^2 ).If I can express ( f(2 times 3^{m-1}) ) in terms of ( f(3^{m-1}) ), maybe I can find a recursive relationship.But I don't know ( f(2 times 3^{m-1}) ). Maybe I can express ( 2 times 3^{m-1} ) as another sum. Let's see, ( 2 times 3^{m-1} = 3^{m-1} + 3^{m-1} ). So, ( f(3^{m-1}) + f(3^{m-1}) = (m-1)^2 ). Wait, no, because ( c + d = 2 times 3^{m-1} ), which isn't a power of 3 unless ( m = 1 ), which gives ( 2 times 3^{0} = 2 ), which isn't a power of 3. So, that doesn't help.Hmm, maybe I need to consider that ( f(c) ) is the same for all ( c ) that are in the same "level" of the power of 3. For example, all numbers that are ( 3^k ) might have the same ( f(c) ) value.Wait, but 243 is ( 3^5 ), so maybe ( f(243) ) is related to 5. The problem is asking for ( f(243) ), which is ( 3^5 ), so maybe ( f(3^k) = k^2 ) or something like that. But let me test this.If ( f(3^k) = k^2 ), then for ( c = 3^k ) and ( d = 3^m - 3^k ), we have ( f(c) + f(d) = k^2 + f(d) = m^2 ). So, ( f(d) = m^2 - k^2 ). But I don't know if that's consistent.Wait, let's try with ( m = 1 ). If ( c = 1 ) and ( d = 2 ), then ( f(1) + f(2) = 1 ). If ( f(1) = 1^2 = 1 ), then ( f(2) = 0 ). But then, for ( m = 2 ), ( c = 1 ) and ( d = 8 ), so ( f(1) + f(8) = 4 ). If ( f(1) = 1 ), then ( f(8) = 3 ). But ( 8 = 2^3 ), not a power of 3, so maybe ( f(8) ) isn't necessarily ( 3^2 = 9 ). Hmm, this seems inconsistent.Alternatively, maybe ( f(c) ) is related to the number of times you can divide ( c ) by 3 before it's no longer divisible by 3. For example, for ( c = 3^k times n ) where ( n ) is not divisible by 3, ( f(c) ) could be related to ( k ).But I'm not sure. Let me try to think recursively again.Suppose I know ( f(3^k) ) for some ( k ). Then, for ( m = k + 1 ), I can write ( f(3^k) + f(2 times 3^k) = (k + 1)^2 ). So, if I can express ( f(2 times 3^k) ) in terms of ( f(3^k) ), maybe I can find a pattern.But I don't know ( f(2 times 3^k) ). Maybe I can express ( 2 times 3^k ) as ( 3^k + 3^k ), but as before, that sum isn't a power of 3 unless ( k = 0 ), which isn't helpful.Wait, maybe I can express ( 2 times 3^k ) as ( 3^{k} + 3^{k} ), but that's not a power of 3, so I can't use the given property directly.Alternatively, maybe I can express ( 2 times 3^k ) as ( 3^{k+1} - 3^k ). So, ( 2 times 3^k = 3^{k+1} - 3^k ). Then, using the property, ( f(3^k) + f(2 times 3^k) = (k + 1)^2 ). So, ( f(3^k) + f(3^{k+1} - 3^k) = (k + 1)^2 ).But ( 3^{k+1} - 3^k = 2 times 3^k ), so that's consistent. So, ( f(3^k) + f(2 times 3^k) = (k + 1)^2 ).But I still don't know ( f(2 times 3^k) ). Maybe I can express ( 2 times 3^k ) as another sum. Let's see, ( 2 times 3^k = 3^k + 3^k ), but as before, that's not helpful because the sum isn't a power of 3.Wait, maybe I can express ( 2 times 3^k ) as ( 3^{k} + 3^{k} ), but that's not a power of 3, so I can't use the given property directly.Hmm, this is getting a bit stuck. Maybe I need to consider that ( f(c) ) is the same for all ( c ) that are in the same "scale" of 3. For example, numbers that are multiples of 3 but not multiples of 9, etc.Alternatively, maybe I can assume that ( f(c) ) is linear in some way. For example, ( f(c) = k ) where ( k ) is the exponent such that ( c = 3^k ). But that doesn't seem to hold because, for example, if ( c = 3^k ), then ( f(c) + f(3^m - c) = m^2 ). If ( f(c) = k^2 ), then ( f(3^m - c) = m^2 - k^2 ). But I don't know if ( 3^m - c ) is a power of 3.Wait, let's try with ( m = 2 ). So, ( 3^2 = 9 ). Let's take ( c = 3 ), which is ( 3^1 ). Then, ( d = 9 - 3 = 6 ). So, ( f(3) + f(6) = 4 ). If I assume ( f(3) = 1^2 = 1 ), then ( f(6) = 3 ). Similarly, for ( c = 6 ), ( d = 3 ), same result.Now, for ( m = 3 ), ( 3^3 = 27 ). Let's take ( c = 9 ), which is ( 3^2 ). Then, ( d = 27 - 9 = 18 ). So, ( f(9) + f(18) = 9 ). If I assume ( f(9) = 2^2 = 4 ), then ( f(18) = 5 ).Similarly, for ( c = 18 ), ( d = 9 ), same result.Continuing, for ( m = 4 ), ( 3^4 = 81 ). Let's take ( c = 27 ), which is ( 3^3 ). Then, ( d = 81 - 27 = 54 ). So, ( f(27) + f(54) = 16 ). If I assume ( f(27) = 3^2 = 9 ), then ( f(54) = 7 ).Hmm, so far, the pattern seems to be that ( f(3^k) = k^2 ). Let's check if this holds for higher ( m ).For ( m = 5 ), ( 3^5 = 243 ). Let's take ( c = 81 ), which is ( 3^4 ). Then, ( d = 243 - 81 = 162 ). So, ( f(81) + f(162) = 25 ). If ( f(81) = 4^2 = 16 ), then ( f(162) = 9 ).Wait, but earlier, when ( m = 3 ), ( f(18) = 5 ), and ( m = 4 ), ( f(54) = 7 ). So, it seems that ( f(2 times 3^k) = (k + 1)^2 - k^2 = 2k + 1 ). Let's test this.For ( k = 1 ), ( f(2 times 3^1) = f(6) = 3 ). According to the formula, ( 2(1) + 1 = 3 ). That matches.For ( k = 2 ), ( f(2 times 3^2) = f(18) = 5 ). The formula gives ( 2(2) + 1 = 5 ). That matches.For ( k = 3 ), ( f(2 times 3^3) = f(54) = 7 ). The formula gives ( 2(3) + 1 = 7 ). That matches.For ( k = 4 ), ( f(2 times 3^4) = f(162) = 9 ). The formula gives ( 2(4) + 1 = 9 ). That matches.So, it seems that ( f(2 times 3^k) = 2k + 1 ).Now, let's see if we can generalize this.Suppose ( c = 3^k ). Then, ( f(c) = k^2 ).If ( c = 2 times 3^k ), then ( f(c) = 2k + 1 ).What about ( c = 3^k + 3^k = 2 times 3^k ), which we've already considered.What about ( c = 3^k + 3^k + 3^k = 3 times 3^k = 3^{k+1} ). Then, ( f(3^{k+1}) = (k+1)^2 ).But wait, if ( c = 3^{k+1} ), then ( f(c) = (k+1)^2 ), which is consistent with our earlier assumption.So, perhaps the function ( f ) is defined such that for any ( c ) that is a multiple of 3, ( f(c) ) is related to the exponent in its prime factorization.But let's try to see if we can express ( f(243) ) using this pattern.Since ( 243 = 3^5 ), according to our assumption, ( f(243) = 5^2 = 25 ).But let's verify this with the given property.If ( c = 243 ) and ( d = 0 ), but ( d ) must be a positive integer, so we can't use ( d = 0 ). Instead, we need to find positive integers ( c ) and ( d ) such that ( c + d = 243 ).Let's take ( c = 81 ) and ( d = 162 ). Then, ( f(81) + f(162) = 25 ). From our earlier pattern, ( f(81) = 4^2 = 16 ) and ( f(162) = 2(4) + 1 = 9 ). So, ( 16 + 9 = 25 ), which matches.Similarly, if we take ( c = 27 ) and ( d = 216 ), then ( f(27) + f(216) = 25 ). ( f(27) = 3^2 = 9 ), and ( f(216) = 2(5) + 1 = 11 ). Wait, but 216 is ( 3^3 times 8 ), which is ( 3^3 times 2^3 ). Hmm, maybe my pattern doesn't hold here.Wait, let's check ( f(216) ). If ( 216 = 3^3 times 8 ), which is ( 3^3 times 2^3 ), then according to our earlier pattern, ( f(2 times 3^k) = 2k + 1 ). But 216 is ( 2^3 times 3^3 ), which is more complex. So, maybe my pattern only applies to numbers of the form ( 3^k ) and ( 2 times 3^k ).Alternatively, perhaps I need to consider that any number can be expressed as a sum of powers of 3, and then use the function's property recursively.But this might get complicated. Let me try to think differently.Suppose I consider that for any ( c ), ( f(c) ) is equal to the number of times 3 divides into ( c ), squared. But that doesn't seem to fit because, for example, ( f(3) = 1 ), which is ( 1^2 ), ( f(9) = 4 ), which is ( 2^2 ), ( f(27) = 9 ), which is ( 3^2 ), and so on. So, that seems to hold for powers of 3.But what about numbers that are not powers of 3? For example, ( f(6) = 3 ), which is ( 2 times 1 + 1 ), as per our earlier pattern. Similarly, ( f(18) = 5 ), which is ( 2 times 2 + 1 ), and ( f(54) = 7 ), which is ( 2 times 3 + 1 ).So, it seems that for numbers of the form ( 2 times 3^k ), ( f(c) = 2k + 1 ).Now, let's see if we can generalize this for any ( c ).Suppose ( c ) can be expressed as ( 3^k times m ), where ( m ) is an integer not divisible by 3. Then, perhaps ( f(c) ) is related to ( k ) and ( m ).But without more information, it's hard to generalize. However, since the problem only asks for ( f(243) ), and 243 is a power of 3, we can safely assume that ( f(243) = 5^2 = 25 ), based on the pattern we've observed.To confirm, let's use the given property with ( c = 243 ) and ( d = 0 ). Wait, but ( d ) must be a positive integer, so we can't use ( d = 0 ). Instead, we can use ( c = 81 ) and ( d = 162 ), as before. Then, ( f(81) + f(162) = 25 ). We know ( f(81) = 16 ) and ( f(162) = 9 ), so ( 16 + 9 = 25 ), which holds.Therefore, the value of ( f(243) ) is 25.

question:Calculate the following expressions:(I) (2 frac{1}{4})^{frac{3}{2}} + 0.2^{-2} - pi^{0} + (frac{1}{27})^{-frac{1}{3}};(II) log_{3}(9 times 27^{2}) + log_{2}6 - log_{2}3 + log_{4}3 times log_{3}16.

answer:Alright, so I've got these two expressions to calculate. Let's take them one at a time. Starting with part (I): (2 frac{1}{4})^{frac{3}{2}} + 0.2^{-2} - pi^{0} + (frac{1}{27})^{-frac{1}{3}}. Hmm, okay, that looks a bit intimidating at first glance, but I think I can break it down step by step.First, let's look at each term individually. The first term is (2 frac{1}{4})^{frac{3}{2}}. I remember that mixed numbers can be converted to improper fractions, so 2 frac{1}{4} is the same as frac{9}{4}. So, this term becomes (frac{9}{4})^{frac{3}{2}}. Now, exponents with fractional powers can be tricky, but I recall that a^{frac{m}{n}} is the same as taking the nth root of a and then raising it to the mth power. So, for (frac{9}{4})^{frac{3}{2}}, I can first take the square root of frac{9}{4} and then cube the result. The square root of frac{9}{4} is frac{3}{2}, and cubing that gives frac{27}{8}. Okay, so the first term simplifies to frac{27}{8}.Next up is 0.2^{-2}. Negative exponents mean reciprocals, right? So, 0.2^{-2} is the same as (frac{1}{0.2})^2. But wait, 0.2 is equal to frac{1}{5}, so frac{1}{0.2} is 5. Therefore, (5)^2 is 25. So, the second term is 25.The third term is pi^{0}. Any number raised to the power of 0 is 1, so this term is just 1.The last term is (frac{1}{27})^{-frac{1}{3}}. Again, negative exponents mean reciprocals, so this becomes (27)^{frac{1}{3}}. The cube root of 27 is 3, since 3 times 3 times 3 is 27. So, this term simplifies to 3.Now, putting it all together: frac{27}{8} + 25 - 1 + 3. Let's compute this step by step. First, frac{27}{8} is 3.375. Adding 25 gives 28.375. Subtracting 1 gives 27.375. Adding 3 gives 30.375. Wait, but I think it's better to keep it as fractions to be precise.So, frac{27}{8} + 25 can be written as frac{27}{8} + frac{200}{8}, which is frac{227}{8}. Then, subtracting 1 is the same as subtracting frac{8}{8}, so frac{227}{8} - frac{8}{8} = frac{219}{8}. Adding 3, which is frac{24}{8}, gives frac{219}{8} + frac{24}{8} = frac{243}{8}. So, the total for part (I) is frac{243}{8}. That seems right. Let me double-check each step to make sure I didn't make a mistake. - Converted 2 frac{1}{4} to frac{9}{4} correctly.- Took the square root of frac{9}{4} to get frac{3}{2}, then cubed it to get frac{27}{8}.- Converted 0.2 to frac{1}{5}, took reciprocal to get 5, squared it to get 25.- Recognized pi^{0} as 1.- Took reciprocal of frac{1}{27} to get 27, then took cube root to get 3.- Added and subtracted the terms correctly, converting to eighths to add them up.Looks solid. So, part (I) is frac{243}{8}.Moving on to part (II): log_{3}(9 times 27^{2}) + log_{2}6 - log_{2}3 + log_{4}3 times log_{3}16. This one has logarithms with different bases, so I need to recall logarithm properties. Let me take each term one by one.First term: log_{3}(9 times 27^{2}). I can simplify inside the logarithm first. 9 is 3^2, and 27 is 3^3, so 27 squared is (3^3)^2 = 3^6. Therefore, inside the log, we have 3^2 times 3^6 = 3^{2+6} = 3^8. So, log_{3}(3^8). Using the logarithm identity log_{a}(a^b) = b, this simplifies to 8.Second term: log_{2}6. I don't think this simplifies easily, so I'll leave it as is for now.Third term: - log_{2}3. Again, this is straightforward; it's just the negative of log_{2}3.Fourth term: log_{4}3 times log_{3}16. This looks like it might be a product of logs with reciprocal bases or something. Let me see.I remember that log_{a}b times log_{b}c = log_{a}c. Is that right? Wait, let me verify. Yes, actually, using the change of base formula: log_{a}b = frac{ln b}{ln a} and log_{b}c = frac{ln c}{ln b}. Multiplying them gives frac{ln c}{ln a}, which is log_{a}c. So, in this case, log_{4}3 times log_{3}16 = log_{4}16.Now, log_{4}16 is straightforward because 16 is 4^2, so log_{4}16 = 2.So, putting it all together: 8 + log_{2}6 - log_{2}3 + 2.Let me simplify the logarithmic terms. log_{2}6 - log_{2}3 can be combined using the logarithm subtraction rule: log_{a}b - log_{a}c = log_{a}frac{b}{c}. So, log_{2}frac{6}{3} = log_{2}2. And log_{2}2 is 1.So, now the expression is 8 + 1 + 2. Adding those up: 8 + 1 is 9, plus 2 is 11.Wait, let me double-check each step to make sure.- First term: log_{3}(9 times 27^{2}) became log_{3}(3^8) which is 8. Correct.- Second term: log_{2}6 stayed as is.- Third term: - log_{2}3 stayed as is.- Fourth term: log_{4}3 times log_{3}16 became log_{4}16 which is 2. Correct.- Then, combining log_{2}6 - log_{2}3 to get log_{2}2 = 1. Correct.- Adding 8 + 1 + 2 gives 11. Correct.So, part (II) is 11.I think both parts are done correctly. Let me just recap.For part (I), I converted mixed numbers to improper fractions, handled negative exponents by taking reciprocals, used properties of exponents, and carefully added and subtracted the terms. For part (II), I used logarithm properties, including the change of base formula and the product/quotient rules, to simplify each term and then combined them.I don't see any mistakes in my reasoning, so I feel confident about these answers.**Final Answer**(I) boxed{dfrac{243}{8}} (II) boxed{11}

question:a) What is the maximum number of edges in a 30-vertex graph that does not contain any triangles?b) What is the maximum number of edges in a 30-vertex graph that does not contain a complete subgraph of four vertices?

answer:Okay, so I have these two graph theory problems to solve. Both are about finding the maximum number of edges in a graph with 30 vertices, but with different constraints. The first one doesn't allow any triangles, and the second one doesn't allow a complete subgraph of four vertices. Hmm, I remember something about Turán's theorem from my studies, which might be relevant here. Let me try to recall and apply it step by step.Starting with part (a): What is the maximum number of edges in a 30-vertex graph that does not contain any triangles?Alright, so a triangle is a complete subgraph of three vertices, K₃. I think Turán's theorem gives the maximum number of edges in a graph that does not contain a complete subgraph of a given size. For triangle-free graphs, which are K₃-free, Turán's theorem should give the maximum number of edges.Turán's theorem states that the maximum number of edges in an n-vertex graph without a K_{r+1} is given by the formula:[ text{Ex}(n, K_{r+1}) = left(1 - frac{1}{r}right) frac{n^2}{2} ]In this case, since we're avoiding triangles, which are K₃, r would be 2. So plugging in r=2, we get:[ text{Ex}(30, K_3) = left(1 - frac{1}{2}right) frac{30^2}{2} = frac{1}{2} times frac{900}{2} = frac{1}{2} times 450 = 225 ]Wait, so the maximum number of edges is 225? That seems familiar. I think this is achieved by a complete bipartite graph with partitions as equal as possible. For 30 vertices, that would be two partitions of 15 each, right? So the complete bipartite graph K_{15,15} has 15×15=225 edges and is triangle-free because any cycle in a bipartite graph is of even length, so triangles (which are 3-cycles) can't exist.Okay, that makes sense. So for part (a), the answer should be 225 edges.Moving on to part (b): What is the maximum number of edges in a 30-vertex graph that does not contain a complete subgraph of four vertices?So now we're avoiding K₄. Again, Turán's theorem should help here. Using the same formula, but now r=3 because we're avoiding K_{4}.So applying Turán's theorem:[ text{Ex}(30, K_4) = left(1 - frac{1}{3}right) frac{30^2}{2} = frac{2}{3} times frac{900}{2} = frac{2}{3} times 450 = 300 ]Hmm, so the maximum number of edges is 300? Let me think about how this graph would look. Turán's theorem also tells us that the graph achieving this maximum is the Turán graph T_{3,30}, which is a complete 3-partite graph with partitions as equal as possible.Since 30 divided by 3 is 10, each partition would have 10 vertices. So the Turán graph T_{3,30} is K_{10,10,10}, a complete tripartite graph where each partition has 10 vertices, and every vertex is connected to all vertices in the other partitions.Calculating the number of edges in K_{10,10,10}: Each vertex in the first partition connects to 20 vertices (10 in each of the other two partitions). So each of the 10 vertices in the first partition contributes 20 edges, totaling 10×20=200 edges. But wait, that's just from the first partition. Similarly, the second partition's vertices connect to the first and third partitions, but we've already counted those edges. So actually, the total number of edges is:Number of edges = (10×10) + (10×10) + (10×10) = 100 + 100 + 100 = 300.Yes, that matches the result from Turán's theorem. So the Turán graph T_{3,30} has 300 edges and does not contain a K₄ because it's 3-partite, and any complete subgraph can have at most one vertex from each partition, so the largest complete subgraph is K₃.Wait, actually, in a 3-partite graph, can we have a K₄? No, because K₄ requires four mutually connected vertices, but in a 3-partite graph, you can have at most three partitions, each contributing one vertex, so the maximum complete subgraph is K₃. Therefore, T_{3,30} is K₄-free.So, summarizing:- For part (a), the maximum number of edges in a triangle-free graph on 30 vertices is 225, achieved by the complete bipartite graph K_{15,15}.- For part (b), the maximum number of edges in a K₄-free graph on 30 vertices is 300, achieved by the complete tripartite graph K_{10,10,10}.I think that's it. I should double-check if there's any other way to get more edges without forming a triangle or a K₄, but Turán's theorem is pretty definitive on these counts. So I feel confident with these answers.

question:Simplify the expression |-0.01|^{2}-(- frac {5}{8})^{0}-3^{log_{3}2}+(lg2)^{2}+lg2lg5+lg5.

answer:Alright, so I have this expression to simplify: |-0.01|^{2}-left(- frac {5}{8}right)^{0}-3^{log_{3}2}+(lg2)^{2}+lg2lg5+lg5.Okay, let me break this down step by step. First, I'll look at each term individually and see if I can simplify them one by one.Starting with the first term: |-0.01|^{2}.Hmm, the absolute value of -0.01 is just 0.01, right? Because absolute value makes any number inside it positive. So, that simplifies to 0.01. Now, I need to square that. So, 0.01 squared is... let me calculate that. 0.01 times 0.01 is 0.0001. Okay, so the first term simplifies to 0.0001.Moving on to the second term: -left(- frac {5}{8}right)^{0}.Wait, exponent rules. Any number raised to the power of 0 is 1, right? So, left(- frac {5}{8}right)^{0} = 1. But there's a negative sign in front of that, so it becomes -1. Got it, so the second term simplifies to -1.Next term: -3^{log_{3}2}.Hmm, this looks a bit tricky. Let me recall the property of logarithms and exponents. I remember that a^{log_{a}b} = b. So, applying that here, since the base of the exponent and the logarithm are both 3, this should simplify to 2. But there's a negative sign in front, so it becomes -2. Okay, so the third term is -2.Now, the remaining terms: (lg2)^{2}+lg2lg5+lg5.Alright, let's see. First, let me write them down:1. (lg2)^{2}2. lg2 cdot lg53. lg5I wonder if I can combine these somehow. Maybe factor something out? Let me look at the first two terms: (lg2)^{2} + lg2 cdot lg5.I can factor out lg2 from both terms:lg2(lg2 + lg5).Hmm, and I know that lg2 + lg5 is equal to lg(2*5) because of the logarithm property that lg a + lg b = lg(ab). So, lg2 + lg5 = lg10. And since lg10 is 1 (because log base 10 of 10 is 1), this simplifies to:lg2 cdot 1 = lg2.So, the first two terms together simplify to lg2. Then, adding the last term, which is lg5, we have:lg2 + lg5.Again, using the same logarithm property, this is equal to lg(2*5) = lg10 = 1. So, all three terms together simplify to 1.Putting it all together, let's substitute the simplified terms back into the original expression:First term: 0.0001Second term: -1Third term: -2Fourth, fifth, and sixth terms combined: 1So, the entire expression becomes:0.0001 - 1 - 2 + 1.Now, let's compute this step by step:Start with 0.0001.Subtract 1: 0.0001 - 1 = -0.9999.Subtract 2: -0.9999 - 2 = -2.9999.Add 1: -2.9999 + 1 = -1.9999.So, the simplified value of the entire expression is -1.9999.Wait a second, that's very close to -2. Is there a way this could be exactly -2? Let me double-check my steps to make sure I didn't make a mistake.First term: |-0.01|² = 0.0001. That seems right.Second term: -(-5/8)⁰ = -1. Correct, since anything to the power of 0 is 1, and the negative sign makes it -1.Third term: -3^{log₃2} = -2. That's correct because 3^{log₃2} = 2.Fourth, fifth, sixth terms: (lg2)² + lg2lg5 + lg5. I simplified this to 1, which seems correct because (lg2)² + lg2lg5 = lg2(lg2 + lg5) = lg2(lg10) = lg2(1) = lg2, and then adding lg5 gives lg2 + lg5 = lg10 = 1.So, substituting back: 0.0001 -1 -2 +1 = 0.0001 -2 = -1.9999.Yes, that seems consistent. So, the final answer is -1.9999.But wait, is there a way to express this as -2? Because 0.0001 is 10^{-4}, so 0.0001 is a very small number. So, 0.0001 - 2 is approximately -2, but not exactly. So, I think the exact value is -1.9999.Alternatively, maybe I made a mistake in the logarithmic part? Let me check again.Starting with (lg2)^2 + lg2lg5 + lg5.Factor out lg2 from the first two terms: lg2(lg2 + lg5) + lg5.lg2 + lg5 = lg10 = 1, so it becomes lg2*1 + lg5 = lg2 + lg5 = lg10 = 1.Yes, that's correct. So, the last three terms add up to 1.So, the total expression is 0.0001 -1 -2 +1.Which is 0.0001 -2 = -1.9999.So, I think that's the correct answer.But just to be thorough, let me compute it numerically.Compute each term:1. |-0.01|² = 0.00012. -(-5/8)^0 = -13. -3^{log₃2} = -24. (lg2)^2 ≈ (0.3010)^2 ≈ 0.09065. lg2*lg5 ≈ 0.3010*0.6990 ≈ 0.21076. lg5 ≈ 0.6990So, adding terms 4,5,6: 0.0906 + 0.2107 + 0.6990 ≈ 1.0003Then, adding all terms together:0.0001 -1 -2 +1.0003 ≈ 0.0001 -1 -2 +1.0003 ≈ (0.0001 +1.0003) -3 ≈ 1.0004 -3 ≈ -1.9996Hmm, that's approximately -1.9996, which is very close to -2, but not exactly. So, my initial exact calculation was -1.9999, and the numerical approximation is about -1.9996. The slight difference is due to rounding errors in the logarithm values.But since the problem didn't specify to approximate, I think the exact value is -1.9999.Alternatively, maybe I can write it as -2 + 0.0001, but that's essentially the same as -1.9999.So, I think the answer is -1.9999.Wait, but in the original problem, the expression is:|-0.01|^{2}-left(- frac {5}{8}right)^{0}-3^{log_{3}2}+(lg2)^{2}+lg2lg5+lg5.I think I handled all the terms correctly. Let me just make sure I didn't misapply any properties.For the term -3^{log₃2}, I used the property that a^{log_a b} = b, so 3^{log₃2} = 2, and the negative sign makes it -2. That seems correct.For the logarithmic terms, I used the property that lg a + lg b = lg(ab), which is correct. So, lg2 + lg5 = lg10 = 1. Then, I factored out lg2 from the first two terms, which also seems correct.So, all steps seem valid. Therefore, I think the final answer is indeed -1.9999.But just to be absolutely sure, let me compute each term with more precise logarithm values.lg2 is approximately 0.3010299957lg5 is approximately 0.6989700043So, (lg2)^2 = (0.3010299957)^2 ≈ 0.090619466lg2*lg5 = 0.3010299957 * 0.6989700043 ≈ 0.210721035lg5 ≈ 0.6989700043Adding these together: 0.090619466 + 0.210721035 + 0.6989700043 ≈ 1.000310505So, the logarithmic part is approximately 1.000310505.Now, the entire expression:0.0001 -1 -2 +1.000310505 ≈ 0.0001 -3 +1.000310505 ≈ (0.0001 +1.000310505) -3 ≈ 1.000410505 -3 ≈ -1.999589495So, approximately -1.999589495, which is roughly -1.9996.Given that, and considering the exact calculation was -1.9999, the slight discrepancy is due to the precision of the logarithm values. However, in exact terms, the expression simplifies to -1.9999.Therefore, I can confidently say that the simplified value of the expression is -1.9999.
