answer：Okay, so I have this triangle ABC where angle C is 60 degrees. I also know that the sum of the tangents of half-angles A and B is equal to 1. I need to find the product of the sines of half-angles A and B. Hmm, let me break this down step by step.First, I remember that in any triangle, the sum of the angles is 180 degrees. Since angle C is 60 degrees, that means angles A and B must add up to 120 degrees. So, if I take half of each of those angles, A/2 and B/2, their sum should be 60 degrees. That makes sense because (A + B)/2 = (120)/2 = 60 degrees. Okay, so A/2 + B/2 = 60 degrees. Got that.Now, the problem gives me that tan(A/2) + tan(B/2) = 1. I need to find sin(A/2) * sin(B/2). Hmm, how can I relate the tangents to the sines? Maybe I can use some trigonometric identities here.I know that tan(x) = sin(x)/cos(x), so maybe I can rewrite the given equation in terms of sine and cosine. Let me try that:tan(A/2) + tan(B/2) = sin(A/2)/cos(A/2) + sin(B/2)/cos(B/2) = 1.To combine these two fractions, I need a common denominator, which would be cos(A/2) * cos(B/2). So, combining them:[sin(A/2) * cos(B/2) + sin(B/2) * cos(A/2)] / [cos(A/2) * cos(B/2)] = 1.Wait a minute, the numerator looks familiar. Isn't that the sine of the sum of two angles? Yes! The formula for sin(a + b) is sin(a)cos(b) + cos(a)sin(b). So, the numerator is sin(A/2 + B/2). And we already know that A/2 + B/2 is 60 degrees. So, sin(60 degrees) is sqrt(3)/2.So, substituting that in, we have:[sqrt(3)/2] / [cos(A/2) * cos(B/2)] = 1.That simplifies to:sqrt(3)/2 = cos(A/2) * cos(B/2).Okay, so now I know that the product of cos(A/2) and cos(B/2) is sqrt(3)/2. But I need the product of sin(A/2) and sin(B/2). Hmm, how can I get that?I remember another trigonometric identity: cos(a + b) = cos(a)cos(b) - sin(a)sin(b). Since I know that A/2 + B/2 = 60 degrees, let's apply this identity:cos(60 degrees) = cos(A/2 + B/2) = cos(A/2)cos(B/2) - sin(A/2)sin(B/2).We know that cos(60 degrees) is 1/2, and we already found that cos(A/2)cos(B/2) is sqrt(3)/2. So, plugging those in:1/2 = sqrt(3)/2 - sin(A/2)sin(B/2).Now, I can solve for sin(A/2)sin(B/2):sin(A/2)sin(B/2) = sqrt(3)/2 - 1/2.That simplifies to:sin(A/2)sin(B/2) = (sqrt(3) - 1)/2.So, the product of sin(A/2) and sin(B/2) is (sqrt(3) - 1)/2. Let me just double-check my steps to make sure I didn't make any mistakes.1. Sum of angles in triangle: A + B + C = 180, so A + B = 120. Therefore, A/2 + B/2 = 60. Check.2. tan(A/2) + tan(B/2) = 1. Expressed in terms of sine and cosine, combined over a common denominator. Recognized the numerator as sin(A/2 + B/2) = sin(60) = sqrt(3)/2. So, sqrt(3)/2 divided by cos(A/2)cos(B/2) equals 1, leading to cos(A/2)cos(B/2) = sqrt(3)/2. Check.3. Used the identity cos(a + b) = cos(a)cos(b) - sin(a)sin(b) with a = A/2 and b = B/2. Plugged in cos(60) = 1/2 and substituted cos(A/2)cos(B/2) = sqrt(3)/2. Solved for sin(A/2)sin(B/2) = (sqrt(3) - 1)/2. Check.Everything seems to add up. I think that's the correct answer.**Final Answer**The value of sin frac{A}{2} cdot sin frac{B}{2} is boxed{dfrac{sqrt{3} - 1}{2}}.

answer：Okay, so I need to convert the base-7 number 23456₇ to its base-10 equivalent. Hmm, I remember that converting numbers from one base to another involves multiplying each digit by the base raised to the power of its position, starting from 0 on the right. Let me try to recall the exact steps.First, I should identify each digit in the number and its corresponding position. The number is 23456₇, so from right to left, the digits are 6, 5, 4, 3, and 2. Wait, actually, in base conversions, we usually start counting positions from the rightmost digit as position 0. So, let me write them down with their positions:- Position 4: 2- Position 3: 3- Position 2: 4- Position 1: 5- Position 0: 6Now, for each digit, I need to multiply it by 7 raised to the power of its position. Let me write that out:- 2 × 7⁴- 3 × 7³- 4 × 7²- 5 × 7¹- 6 × 7⁰Okay, now I need to calculate each of these terms separately and then add them all up to get the base-10 number.Starting with the first term: 2 × 7⁴. I know that 7 squared is 49, so 7³ is 343, and 7⁴ is 2401. So, 2 × 2401 equals 4802.Next, 3 × 7³. As I calculated earlier, 7³ is 343. So, 3 × 343 is 1029.Then, 4 × 7². 7 squared is 49, so 4 × 49 is 196.Moving on to 5 × 7¹. 7¹ is just 7, so 5 × 7 is 35.Finally, 6 × 7⁰. Any number raised to the power of 0 is 1, so 6 × 1 is 6.Now, I have all the individual terms calculated:- 4802- 1029- 196- 35- 6I need to add these all together to get the final base-10 number. Let me add them step by step:First, add 4802 and 1029. 4802 + 1029 equals 5831.Next, add 196 to 5831. 5831 + 196 equals 6027.Then, add 35 to 6027. 6027 + 35 equals 6062.Finally, add 6 to 6062. 6062 + 6 equals 6068.So, after adding all the terms together, I get 6068. Therefore, the base-10 equivalent of 23456₇ is 6068.Wait, let me double-check my calculations to make sure I didn't make any mistakes. Starting from the beginning:2 × 7⁴ = 2 × 2401 = 48023 × 7³ = 3 × 343 = 10294 × 7² = 4 × 49 = 1965 × 7¹ = 5 × 7 = 356 × 7⁰ = 6 × 1 = 6Adding them up:4802 + 1029 = 58315831 + 196 = 60276027 + 35 = 60626062 + 6 = 6068Yes, that seems correct. I don't see any errors in my calculations. So, I'm confident that the base-10 equivalent of 23456₇ is indeed 6068.

answer：First, I need to determine the cost per kilogram for the first 30 kilograms (( l )) and the cost per kilogram for each additional kilogram (( q )).Given that 33 kilograms cost 360 rupees, I can set up the equation:[ 30l + 3q = 360 ]Similarly, for 36 kilograms costing 420 rupees, the equation is:[ 30l + 6q = 420 ]To find ( q ), I'll subtract the first equation from the second:[ (30l + 6q) - (30l + 3q) = 420 - 360 ][ 3q = 60 ][ q = 20 ]Now, substituting ( q = 20 ) back into the first equation:[ 30l + 3(20) = 360 ][ 30l + 60 = 360 ][ 30l = 300 ][ l = 10 ]With ( l = 10 ) rupees per kilogram for the first 30 kilograms, the cost for the first 25 kilograms is:[ 25 times 10 = 250 text{ rupees} ]

answer：Okay, so I have this problem about a rectangle with a segment AB of length 4. The endpoints of AB lie on the sides of the rectangle, and point A makes a full revolution around the rectangle, traveling a distance equal to the perimeter. I need to figure out how much shorter the path traced by point C, the midpoint of AB, is compared to the perimeter of the rectangle.First, let me visualize the problem. There's a rectangle, and inside it, there's a segment AB of length 4. Since AB is less than the lengths of the sides of the rectangle, it must be positioned such that its endpoints are on different sides. Point A is moving around the rectangle, making a full revolution, which means it travels the entire perimeter. As A moves, point B must also move along the sides, maintaining the length of AB as 4. The midpoint C of AB will trace some path as A and B move around the rectangle.I think the key here is to figure out the path that point C takes as A moves around the rectangle. Since C is the midpoint, its movement should be related to the movement of A and B. When A moves along a side, B must also move along the adjacent side to keep AB at length 4. So, as A goes around the rectangle, B moves in a way that's connected to A's movement.Let me consider the rectangle's sides. Let's denote the length and width of the rectangle as 'a' and 'b', respectively. The perimeter of the rectangle is then 2(a + b). Since point A travels a distance equal to the perimeter, it makes sense that it goes around the rectangle once.Now, focusing on point C. Since C is the midpoint of AB, its coordinates will be the average of the coordinates of A and B. If I can model the movement of A and B, I can find the path of C.When A is moving along a side, B must be moving along the adjacent side. The segment AB is always of length 4, so as A moves, B moves in such a way that AB remains 4. This seems like a problem where the midpoint C traces a circular arc when A and B are moving around the corners of the rectangle.Let me think about the corners. When A is moving from one side to an adjacent side, B is moving from another side to an adjacent side. At the corners, the movement of A and B causes C to trace a quarter-circle. Since there are four corners, C would trace four quarter-circles, which together make a full circle.Wait, but the radius of this circle would be half the length of AB, which is 2. So, the circumference of this circle would be 2πr = 2π*2 = 4π. But since C is only tracing four quarter-circles, that's a full circle, so the total length from the circular parts is 4π.But that's not all. When A is moving along the sides, C is also moving along a straight line. However, since AB is always 4, the movement of C along the sides is not the full length of the sides but adjusted by the length of AB.Let me try to calculate the straight parts. When A is moving along a side of length 'a', B is moving along the adjacent side of length 'b'. Since AB is 4, the movement of C is such that it doesn't go all the way to the corner but stops 2 units before because it's the midpoint.Wait, maybe not exactly 2 units, but proportionally. Let me think. If AB is 4, and C is the midpoint, then the distance from C to each end is 2. So, as A moves along a side, C moves along a line that's parallel to the side but offset by 2 units towards the interior of the rectangle.Therefore, when A moves along a side of length 'a', C moves along a line of length 'a - 4' because it's offset by 2 units on both ends. Similarly, when A moves along a side of length 'b', C moves along a line of length 'b - 4'.Since the rectangle has two sides of length 'a' and two sides of length 'b', the total straight path traced by C would be 2*(a - 4) + 2*(b - 4) = 2a + 2b - 16.Adding the circular part, which is 4π, the total path length of C is 2a + 2b - 16 + 4π.The perimeter of the rectangle is 2a + 2b. So, the difference between the perimeter and the path of C is:Perimeter - Path of C = (2a + 2b) - (2a + 2b - 16 + 4π) = 16 - 4π.So, the path traced by point C is shorter than the perimeter by 16 - 4π.Wait, let me double-check. The straight parts: when A moves along a side, C moves along a shorter side because it's offset by 2 units. So, if the side is length 'a', C moves along 'a - 4' because it's 2 units away from both ends. Similarly for 'b'. So, two sides contribute 2*(a - 4) and two sides contribute 2*(b - 4). That gives 2a + 2b - 16.The circular parts: four quarter-circles make a full circle with radius 2, so circumference is 4π. So, total path is 2a + 2b - 16 + 4π.Perimeter is 2a + 2b, so subtracting, the difference is 16 - 4π. That seems right.I think that's the answer. The path of C is shorter by 16 - 4π.**Final Answer**The path traced by point ( C ) is shorter than the perimeter of the rectangle by (boxed{16 - 4pi}).

answer：First, I need to apply Horner's method to evaluate the polynomial ( f(x) = x^5 + 3x^4 - 5x^3 + 7x^2 - 9x + 11 ) at ( x = 4 ).I'll start by rewriting the polynomial in a nested form to facilitate the step-by-step calculation. The nested form of the polynomial is:[ f(x) = ((((x + 3)x - 5)x + 7)x - 9)x + 11 ]Now, I'll substitute ( x = 4 ) into this nested expression and compute each step sequentially.1. Begin with the innermost expression: [ 4 + 3 = 7 ]2. Multiply the result by 4: [ 7 times 4 = 28 ]3. Subtract 5 from the previous result: [ 28 - 5 = 23 ]4. Multiply the result by 4: [ 23 times 4 = 92 ]5. Add 7 to the previous result: [ 92 + 7 = 99 ]6. Multiply the result by 4: [ 99 times 4 = 396 ]7. Subtract 9 from the previous result: [ 396 - 9 = 387 ]8. Multiply the result by 4: [ 387 times 4 = 1548 ]9. Finally, add 11 to the previous result: [ 1548 + 11 = 1559 ]Therefore, the value of the polynomial at ( x = 4 ) is 1559.

answer：Okay, so I have this problem where I need to consider a prime number p, which is greater than 5. The task is to take the decimal expansion of 1/p, randomly remove 2012 digits after the decimal point, and then show that the remaining number can be expressed as a fraction a/b, where a and b are coprime, and b is a multiple of p.Hmm, let's start by understanding the decimal expansion of 1/p. Since p is a prime greater than 5, it doesn't divide 10, so the decimal expansion of 1/p should be a repeating decimal. That means it's a rational number with a repeating cycle. For example, 1/7 is 0.142857142857..., repeating every 6 digits.Now, if I remove 2012 digits from this decimal expansion, what does that do? Well, removing digits from the decimal expansion is like subtracting some value from the original number. Each digit I remove is in a specific decimal place, so each removal corresponds to subtracting a certain fraction from 1/p.Let me think about how to represent this mathematically. Suppose the decimal expansion of 1/p is 0.d1d2d3d4..., where each di is a digit. If I remove, say, the k-th digit, that's equivalent to subtracting dk * 10^{-k} from 1/p. So, removing multiple digits would be subtracting the sum of each removed digit times its respective power of 10^{-1}.So, if I remove 2012 digits, the remaining number would be 1/p minus the sum of these 2012 terms, each of which is a digit times some negative power of 10. Let's denote the removed digits as dk1, dk2, ..., dk2012, where each k is the position of the digit after the decimal point. Then, the remaining number R can be written as:R = 1/p - (dk1 * 10^{-k1} + dk2 * 10^{-k2} + ... + dk2012 * 10^{-k2012})Since each term dk * 10^{-k} is a rational number, their sum is also rational. Therefore, R is the difference of two rational numbers, which is also rational. So, R can be expressed as a fraction a/b, where a and b are integers.Now, I need to show that b is a multiple of p. Let's think about the denominators involved. The original number 1/p has denominator p. Each term dk * 10^{-k} can be written as dk / (10^k). So, when we subtract these terms from 1/p, we need a common denominator to combine them.The common denominator would be the least common multiple (LCM) of p and the denominators of the subtracted terms, which are powers of 10. Since p is a prime greater than 5, it doesn't divide 10, so the LCM of p and 10^k is p * 10^k. Therefore, when we express R as a single fraction, the denominator will be a multiple of p.But wait, let me make sure. If I have 1/p minus some sum of terms with denominators 10^k, then to combine them, I need a common denominator. Let's say the highest power of 10 among the subtracted terms is 10^m. Then, the common denominator would be p * 10^m. So, when I write R as a single fraction, it would be:R = (10^m - p * (sum of dk * 10^{m - k})) / (p * 10^m)Here, the numerator is an integer, and the denominator is p multiplied by 10^m. Therefore, the denominator b is indeed a multiple of p.Now, I also need to ensure that a and b are coprime. That means the numerator and the denominator should share no common factors other than 1. Since p is a prime and doesn't divide 10, it doesn't divide the numerator unless the numerator is a multiple of p. But the numerator is 10^m minus p times some integer. So, unless 10^m is congruent to 0 modulo p, which it isn't because p doesn't divide 10, the numerator won't be a multiple of p. Therefore, p doesn't divide the numerator, so the fraction is already in its simplest form, meaning a and b are coprime.Wait, let me double-check that. The numerator is 10^m - p * (sum of dk * 10^{m - k}). Since p doesn't divide 10^m, and p is prime, the only way p could divide the numerator is if p divides the entire expression. But since p divides the second term, p * (sum ...), it doesn't necessarily mean it divides the entire numerator. Actually, 10^m and p are coprime because p doesn't divide 10. So, the numerator and denominator share no common factors other than 1, which means the fraction is in its simplest form.Therefore, the remaining number R can indeed be expressed as a fraction a/b where a and b are coprime, and b is a multiple of p.I think that covers it. Let me summarize:1. The decimal expansion of 1/p is repeating and rational.2. Removing digits corresponds to subtracting rational numbers.3. The resulting number is rational, so it can be written as a fraction.4. The denominator of this fraction is a multiple of p because of the common denominator used.5. The numerator and denominator are coprime because p doesn't divide the numerator.Yeah, that makes sense. I don't see any gaps in this reasoning. Maybe I should consider an example to solidify this.Let's take p = 7. Then 1/7 = 0.142857142857...Suppose I remove, say, the first digit after the decimal, which is 1. So, the remaining number is 0.42857142857... which is 428571/999999. But wait, let's see:Actually, removing the first digit 1 from 0.142857142857... would give 0.42857142857..., which is 428571/999999. Simplifying this, both numerator and denominator are divisible by 3: 428571 ÷ 3 = 142857, 999999 ÷ 3 = 333333. Again, 142857 and 333333 are both divisible by 3: 142857 ÷ 3 = 47619, 333333 ÷ 3 = 111111. Continuing, 47619 ÷ 3 = 15873, 111111 ÷ 3 = 37037. Hmm, 15873 and 37037. Are these coprime? Let's check GCD(15873, 37037).Divide 37037 by 15873: 37037 = 2*15873 + 5291.Now, GCD(15873, 5291). 15873 ÷ 5291 = 3 with remainder 15873 - 3*5291 = 15873 - 15873 = 0. Wait, no, 3*5291 = 15873, so the remainder is 0. Therefore, GCD is 5291.Wait, so 15873 = 3*5291, and 37037 = 7*5291. So, GCD is 5291. Therefore, the simplified fraction is 15873/37037 = (3*5291)/(7*5291) = 3/7. So, 0.428571... = 3/7.Wait, but 3 and 7 are coprime, and the denominator is 7, which is a multiple of p=7. So, that works.Another example: p=11. 1/11 = 0.09090909...Suppose I remove the first digit after the decimal, which is 0. So, the remaining number is 0.9090909..., which is 909090.../999999... = 9/99 = 1/11. Wait, that's the same as the original. Hmm, maybe a better example.Wait, if I remove the second digit, which is 9. So, the remaining number is 0.00909090..., which is 909090.../999999... shifted by two places. So, 0.00909090... = 9/990 = 1/110. So, 1/110. Here, a=1, b=110, which is 11*10, so b is a multiple of p=11, and a and b are coprime.Another example: p=13. 1/13 = 0.076923076923...Suppose I remove the third digit, which is 6. So, the remaining number is 0.079230769230..., which is 0.079230769230...To express this as a fraction, let's denote x = 0.079230769230...Multiply both sides by 10^6 (since the repeating cycle is 6 digits): 10^6 x = 79230.769230...Subtract x: 10^6 x - x = 79230.769230... - 0.079230769230...So, 999999 x = 79230.69Wait, that decimal subtraction is messy. Maybe a better approach.Alternatively, since 1/13 = 0.076923076923..., removing the third digit 6 gives 0.079230769230...Let me write this as 0.07 + 0.009230769230...0.07 is 7/100, and 0.009230769230... is 923076/99999900.Wait, 923076/99999900 simplifies. Let's see:923076 ÷ 12 = 76923, 99999900 ÷ 12 = 8333325.76923 and 8333325. Let's see if they have a common factor.76923 ÷ 3 = 25641, 8333325 ÷ 3 = 2777775.25641 ÷ 3 = 8547, 2777775 ÷ 3 = 925925.8547 ÷ 3 = 2849, 925925 ÷ 3 = 308641.666... Wait, no, 925925 ÷ 3 is not an integer. So, maybe 76923 and 8333325 have a GCD of 9.Wait, 76923 ÷ 9 = 8547, 8333325 ÷ 9 = 925925.So, 76923/8333325 = 8547/925925.Check if 8547 and 925925 have common factors. 8547 ÷ 3 = 2849, 925925 ÷ 3 = 308641.666... Not integer. So, GCD is 9.Therefore, 923076/99999900 simplifies to 8547/925925.So, the total is 7/100 + 8547/925925.Let's find a common denominator: 100 and 925925. 925925 ÷ 25 = 37037, 100 ÷ 25 = 4. So, LCM is 4*37037 = 148148.Convert 7/100 to 7*1481.48/148148, which is messy. Maybe another approach.Alternatively, let's express 0.079230769230... as x.Since the repeating part is 6 digits, multiply x by 10^6: 10^6 x = 79230.769230...Subtract x: 10^6 x - x = 79230.769230... - 0.079230769230...So, 999999 x = 79230.69Wait, 79230.69 is not an integer. Hmm, maybe my approach is flawed.Alternatively, perhaps I should consider that removing a digit changes the decimal expansion in a way that can be represented as a fraction with denominator multiple of p.But in any case, the earlier reasoning seems solid: removing digits corresponds to subtracting fractions with denominators as powers of 10, leading to a common denominator which is a multiple of p, and the numerator and denominator being coprime.So, I think the initial proof holds. The key points are:1. The decimal expansion of 1/p is rational and repeating.2. Removing digits corresponds to subtracting rational numbers.3. The resulting number is rational, hence can be expressed as a fraction.4. The denominator of this fraction is a multiple of p because of the common denominator used when subtracting.5. The numerator and denominator are coprime because p doesn't divide the numerator.Therefore, the remaining number after removing 2012 digits can indeed be expressed as a fraction a/b where a and b are coprime, and b is a multiple of p.
