answer：Alright, so I have this problem where I need to prove that if two positive real numbers α and β satisfy the condition that for any positive integers k₁ and k₂, the floors of k₁α and k₂β are never equal, then there exist positive integers m₁ and m₂ such that (m₁/α) + (m₂/β) = 1. Hmm, okay, let me try to unpack this step by step.First, let me understand the given condition better. The floor function, denoted by ⌊x⌋, gives the greatest integer less than or equal to x. So, the condition is saying that no multiple of α and no multiple of β will ever have the same integer part. That means the sequences {⌊k₁α⌋} and {⌊k₂β⌋} are completely disjoint for all positive integers k₁ and k₂.I wonder if this has something to do with the density of these sequences in the integers. If α and β are such that their multiples don't overlap in their integer parts, maybe they have some kind of complementary relationship. That might be related to the reciprocals of α and β adding up to 1, as the problem suggests.Let me think about the reciprocals. If I set a = 1/α and b = 1/β, then the condition (m₁/α) + (m₂/β) = 1 becomes m₁a + m₂b = 1. So, I need to find positive integers m₁ and m₂ such that this linear combination equals 1. That reminds me of the concept of Diophantine equations, where we look for integer solutions to equations like this.But how does that connect to the original condition about the floors? Maybe I need to relate the floor functions to the fractional parts. I remember that for any real number x, x can be written as ⌊x⌋ + {x}, where {x} is the fractional part of x. So, maybe I can express k₁α and k₂β in terms of their integer and fractional parts.Let me denote {k₁α} as the fractional part of k₁α and similarly {k₂β} as the fractional part of k₂β. Then, the condition ⌊k₁α⌋ ≠ ⌊k₂β⌋ implies that the integer parts are different, but the fractional parts could still overlap. However, since the integer parts are different, the entire numbers k₁α and k₂β must lie in different integer intervals.Wait, but how does that help me? Maybe I need to consider the distribution of these fractional parts. If α and β are irrational, the fractional parts {kα} and {kβ} are dense in [0,1). But in this case, the condition is stronger: not only are the fractional parts not overlapping in a way that causes the integer parts to coincide, but also, the sequences {⌊k₁α⌋} and {⌊k₂β⌋} are completely disjoint.Hmm, so if I think of the Beatty sequences, which are sequences of the form ⌊kα⌋ for irrational α, they have the property that they partition the natural numbers if α and β satisfy 1/α + 1/β = 1. That seems similar to what the problem is asking. In fact, Beatty's theorem states that if α and β are positive irrationals such that 1/α + 1/β = 1, then the sequences {⌊kα⌋} and {⌊kβ⌋} partition the natural numbers; that is, every natural number is in exactly one of the sequences.But in our problem, the condition is that the sequences are disjoint, not necessarily that they partition the natural numbers. However, if the sequences are disjoint and their union is the entire set of natural numbers, then they must satisfy the Beatty condition. But in our case, we only know they are disjoint. So, perhaps the conclusion is that they must satisfy the Beatty condition, meaning 1/α + 1/β = 1, which is equivalent to the existence of positive integers m₁ and m₂ such that m₁/α + m₂/β = 1.Wait, but in the problem statement, it's not necessarily that the union is the entire set of natural numbers, just that the sequences are disjoint. So, maybe the condition is weaker, but the conclusion is still that 1/α + 1/β = 1. Or perhaps, more accurately, that there exist positive integers m₁ and m₂ such that m₁/α + m₂/β = 1.I need to think about how to connect the disjointness of the floor functions to the reciprocal condition. Maybe I can use some properties of fractional parts or consider the density of the sequences.Let me consider the density of the sequences {⌊kα⌋} and {⌊kβ⌋}. The density of such a sequence is typically 1/α for the first sequence and 1/β for the second. If the sequences are disjoint, then the sum of their densities should be less than or equal to 1, because they can't cover more than the entire set of natural numbers. So, 1/α + 1/β ≤ 1. But in our problem, we need to show that 1/α + 1/β = 1, which is the equality case.Wait, but how do I know that the sum of the densities is exactly 1? If the sequences are disjoint, their densities can add up to at most 1, but in our case, maybe they add up exactly to 1 because otherwise, there would be some overlap or missing numbers. Hmm, I'm not entirely sure.Alternatively, maybe I can use the concept of Beatty sequences more directly. If the sequences {⌊kα⌋} and {⌊kβ⌋} are disjoint, then they must satisfy the Beatty theorem condition, which requires that 1/α + 1/β = 1. Therefore, such m₁ and m₂ must exist.But I need to make this more rigorous. Let me try to outline a possible proof.First, assume that α and β are positive real numbers such that for any positive integers k₁ and k₂, ⌊k₁α⌋ ≠ ⌊k₂β⌋. Then, the sequences {⌊kα⌋} and {⌊kβ⌋} are disjoint.Now, by the theorem of Beatty, if α and β are positive irrationals such that 1/α + 1/β = 1, then the sequences {⌊kα⌋} and {⌊kβ⌋} partition the natural numbers. However, in our case, we only know that the sequences are disjoint, not necessarily that they partition the natural numbers. So, perhaps the condition that they are disjoint implies that 1/α + 1/β = 1.Alternatively, maybe we can use the concept of complementary sequences. If two sequences are complementary, meaning their union is the entire set of natural numbers and they are disjoint, then they satisfy the Beatty condition. But in our problem, we only know they are disjoint, not necessarily complementary. So, perhaps the condition is slightly different.Wait, but if the sequences are disjoint, their densities must satisfy 1/α + 1/β ≤ 1. But in our problem, we need to show that 1/α + 1/β = 1. So, maybe the fact that they are disjoint and the way they are constructed forces the sum of their densities to be exactly 1.Alternatively, perhaps we can use the concept of fractional parts and consider the intervals where the fractional parts lie. If ⌊k₁α⌋ ≠ ⌊k₂β⌋ for any k₁, k₂, then the fractional parts {k₁α} and {k₂β} must lie in intervals that don't cause the integer parts to coincide. This might imply some relationship between α and β.Let me try to formalize this. Suppose that for some k₁ and k₂, ⌊k₁α⌋ = ⌊k₂β⌋ = n. Then, we have n ≤ k₁α < n+1 and n ≤ k₂β < n+1. This implies that k₁α ∈ [n, n+1) and k₂β ∈ [n, n+1). Therefore, the fractional parts {k₁α} = k₁α - n and {k₂β} = k₂β - n must satisfy 0 ≤ {k₁α} < 1 and 0 ≤ {k₂β} < 1.But since the sequences are disjoint, this equality never happens. So, for any n, there is no k₁ and k₂ such that both k₁α and k₂β lie in [n, n+1). Therefore, the fractional parts {kα} and {kβ} must lie in intervals that prevent this overlap.Wait, but how does that translate to a condition on α and β? Maybe I need to consider the distribution of the fractional parts. If α and β are such that their multiples never fall into the same integer interval, then their fractional parts must be arranged in a way that avoids this overlap.Perhaps I can use the concept of Beatty sequences again. If the sequences are disjoint, then their densities must add up to at most 1. But if they are also such that their union is the entire set of natural numbers, then their densities must add up to exactly 1. However, in our problem, we don't know if their union is the entire set, only that they are disjoint.Wait, but maybe the condition that they are disjoint and the way they are constructed (as multiples of α and β) forces their union to be the entire set of natural numbers. Because if they were missing some numbers, then those missing numbers would have to be expressible as multiples of some other number, but since α and β are fixed, maybe that's not possible.Alternatively, perhaps I can use the concept of the fractional parts being dense in [0,1). If α and β are irrational, then {kα} and {kβ} are dense in [0,1). But in our case, the condition is stronger: not only are the fractional parts dense, but the integer parts never coincide. So, maybe this implies that the fractional parts are arranged in a way that their integer parts never overlap, which could lead to the reciprocal condition.Wait, maybe I can think in terms of the intervals. For each integer n, the interval [n, n+1) can contain at most one multiple of α or β, but not both. So, for each n, either there exists a k such that kα ∈ [n, n+1), or a k such that kβ ∈ [n, n+1), but not both.This would mean that the sequences {⌊kα⌋} and {⌊kβ⌋} partition the natural numbers, which is exactly the condition of Beatty's theorem. Therefore, by Beatty's theorem, 1/α + 1/β = 1 must hold.So, putting it all together, since the sequences are disjoint and their union must be the entire set of natural numbers (because otherwise, there would be some integer n that is not in either sequence, which would contradict the fact that the sequences are constructed from multiples of α and β, which are positive reals), we can apply Beatty's theorem to conclude that 1/α + 1/β = 1. Therefore, there exist positive integers m₁ and m₂ such that m₁/α + m₂/β = 1.Wait, but in Beatty's theorem, the sequences partition the natural numbers only if 1/α + 1/β = 1. So, if our sequences are disjoint and their union is the entire set of natural numbers, then 1/α + 1/β = 1 must hold. But in our problem, we only know that the sequences are disjoint, not necessarily that their union is the entire set. So, maybe I need to argue that if the sequences are disjoint, their union must be the entire set, which would then imply the reciprocal condition.Alternatively, perhaps I can use the concept of density. The density of the sequence {⌊kα⌋} is 1/α, and similarly for {⌊kβ⌋} it's 1/β. If the sequences are disjoint, then the sum of their densities must be less than or equal to 1. But if they are also such that their union is the entire set of natural numbers, then the sum must be exactly 1.

answer：Alright, so I have this problem: Find the units digit of (7^{12^{11}}). Hmm, that looks a bit intimidating at first glance, but let's break it down step by step.First, I remember that when dealing with units digits, especially with exponents, there's often a repeating pattern. So, maybe I can figure out the pattern for the units digit of powers of 7. Let me write out the first few powers of 7 and see what their units digits are:- (7^1 = 7) → units digit is 7- (7^2 = 49) → units digit is 9- (7^3 = 343) → units digit is 3- (7^4 = 2401) → units digit is 1- (7^5 = 16807) → units digit is 7- (7^6 = 117649) → units digit is 9Wait a minute, I see a pattern here. The units digits are cycling every four exponents: 7, 9, 3, 1, and then back to 7 again. So, the cycle length is 4. That means the units digit of (7^n) depends on the value of (n) modulo 4. If I can find out what (12^{11}) is modulo 4, I can determine where in the cycle (7^{12^{11}}) falls.Okay, let's focus on (12^{11}). I need to find (12^{11} mod 4). Hmm, 12 divided by 4 is 3 with no remainder, so 12 is congruent to 0 modulo 4. That is, (12 equiv 0 mod 4). Therefore, (12^{11} equiv 0^{11} mod 4). But (0^{11}) is just 0, so (12^{11} equiv 0 mod 4).Wait, so (12^{11}) is a multiple of 4. That means when I look at the exponent (12^{11}) in (7^{12^{11}}), it's equivalent to saying (7^{4k}) for some integer (k). From the cycle I observed earlier, (7^4) has a units digit of 1, and any higher power that's a multiple of 4 will also have a units digit of 1. So, does that mean the units digit of (7^{12^{11}}) is 1?Hold on, let me double-check. If the exponent is a multiple of 4, the units digit is 1. But in this case, the exponent is (12^{11}), which is 0 modulo 4. So, does that correspond to the 4th position in the cycle, which is 1? Yes, that seems right.But wait, sometimes when dealing with exponents, especially when the modulus is involved, there can be nuances. Let me think about Euler's theorem or something related. Euler's theorem states that if two numbers are coprime, then (a^{phi(n)} equiv 1 mod n), where (phi) is Euler's totient function. In this case, since we're dealing with units digits, we're working modulo 10.So, (phi(10) = 4) because the numbers coprime to 10 are 1, 3, 7, and 9. Therefore, (7^4 equiv 1 mod 10), which aligns with what I saw earlier. So, (7^{4k} equiv 1 mod 10). Therefore, (7^{12^{11}} equiv 1 mod 10), meaning the units digit is 1.But wait, earlier I thought the units digit was 7 because the exponent was 0 modulo 4, which would correspond to the first position in the cycle. Hmm, now I'm confused. Which one is it?Let me clarify. The cycle is 7, 9, 3, 1, and then repeats. So, exponent 1: 7, exponent 2: 9, exponent 3: 3, exponent 4: 1, exponent 5: 7, and so on. So, if the exponent is 1 modulo 4, it's 7; 2 modulo 4, it's 9; 3 modulo 4, it's 3; and 0 modulo 4 (which is the same as 4 modulo 4), it's 1.Therefore, since (12^{11} equiv 0 mod 4), the units digit should be 1. So, my initial thought that it was 7 was incorrect because I misapplied the cycle. It's actually 1.Wait, but let me think again. If the exponent is 0 modulo 4, does that mean it's the same as exponent 4, which is 1? Yes, that makes sense. So, (7^{4} = 2401), units digit 1. Similarly, (7^{8}) would also end with 1, and so on.Therefore, (7^{12^{11}}) has a units digit of 1.But now I'm second-guessing myself because sometimes when the exponent is 0 modulo the cycle length, it's equivalent to the cycle length itself, which in this case is 4. So, (7^4) ends with 1, and any multiple of 4 would also end with 1.Yes, I think that's correct. So, the units digit is 1.Wait, but earlier I thought it was 7 because I miscounted the cycle. Let me make sure. The cycle is:- Exponent 1: 7- Exponent 2: 9- Exponent 3: 3- Exponent 4: 1- Exponent 5: 7- Exponent 6: 9- Exponent 7: 3- Exponent 8: 1Yes, so every time the exponent is a multiple of 4, the units digit is 1. Therefore, (7^{12^{11}}) has a units digit of 1.But wait, let me check with a smaller exponent to see if my logic holds. Let's say (7^{4}) is 2401, units digit 1. (7^{8}) is 5764801, units digit 1. (7^{12}) would be (7^{8} times 7^{4}), which is 5764801 times 2401. The units digit would be 1 times 1 = 1. So, yes, it seems consistent.Therefore, I can conclude that the units digit of (7^{12^{11}}) is 1.Wait, but hold on a second. Let me think about the exponent (12^{11}). Is that really a multiple of 4? Yes, because 12 is divisible by 4, so any power of 12 will also be divisible by 4. Therefore, (12^{11}) is indeed a multiple of 4, so (7^{12^{11}}) will have the same units digit as (7^4), which is 1.Yes, I think that's solid. So, the units digit is 1.But just to be absolutely sure, let me try to compute (7^{4}) again. (7^1 = 7), (7^2 = 49), (7^3 = 343), (7^4 = 2401). Yep, units digit 1. So, any exponent that's a multiple of 4 will result in a units digit of 1. Therefore, (7^{12^{11}}) has a units digit of 1.I think I've thought this through thoroughly. The key steps were recognizing the cyclical pattern of the units digit of powers of 7, determining that the cycle length is 4, and then figuring out that (12^{11}) is a multiple of 4, which places the exponent at the end of the cycle, resulting in a units digit of 1.

answer：Okay, so I have this problem about a rectangular picture frame. It's made from pieces of wood that are 1.5 inches wide. The area of just the frame itself is 27 square inches, and one of the interior edges is 4.5 inches long. I need to find the sum of the lengths of the four interior edges of the frame.Alright, let me try to visualize this. The frame is like a rectangle with another smaller rectangle cut out from the center, right? The width of the wood pieces is 1.5 inches, so that means the frame adds 1.5 inches to each side of the inner rectangle.Given that one of the interior edges is 4.5 inches, I can assume that's either the length or the width of the inner rectangle. Since the problem doesn't specify, I'll just call the known interior edge 4.5 inches and the unknown one something else, maybe 'y' inches.So, if the interior dimensions are 4.5 inches and 'y' inches, then the exterior dimensions would be larger by twice the width of the frame on each side. Since the frame is 1.5 inches wide, each side adds 1.5 inches. Therefore, the exterior length would be 4.5 + 2*1.5, which is 4.5 + 3 = 7.5 inches. Similarly, the exterior width would be y + 2*1.5, which is y + 3 inches.Now, the area of the entire frame (which is the outer rectangle) is 7.5*(y + 3). The area of the inner rectangle (the hole) is 4.5*y. The area of just the frame is the difference between these two areas, so:Area of frame = Area of outer rectangle - Area of inner rectangle27 = 7.5*(y + 3) - 4.5*yLet me simplify this equation step by step.First, expand the terms:27 = 7.5*y + 7.5*3 - 4.5*y27 = 7.5y + 22.5 - 4.5yCombine like terms:27 = (7.5y - 4.5y) + 22.527 = 3y + 22.5Now, subtract 22.5 from both sides:27 - 22.5 = 3y4.5 = 3yDivide both sides by 3:y = 4.5 / 3y = 1.5So, the unknown interior edge is 1.5 inches. Now, the interior dimensions are 4.5 inches and 1.5 inches. The sum of the lengths of the four interior edges would be twice the length plus twice the width:Sum = 2*4.5 + 2*1.5Sum = 9 + 3Sum = 12 inchesWait, let me double-check that. If the interior edges are 4.5 and 1.5, then adding them up twice makes sense because a rectangle has two lengths and two widths. So, 4.5 + 1.5 + 4.5 + 1.5 is indeed 12 inches. That seems right.I think I might have made a mistake in the initial step when I assumed the known interior edge was the shorter side. What if it's the longer side? Let me see.If the known interior edge is 4.5 inches and it's the longer side, then the shorter side would be 'y'. The exterior dimensions would still be 4.5 + 3 = 7.5 inches and y + 3 inches. The area calculation would be the same:27 = 7.5*(y + 3) - 4.5*y27 = 7.5y + 22.5 - 4.5y27 = 3y + 22.53y = 4.5y = 1.5So, regardless of whether 4.5 is the length or the width, the other side comes out to 1.5 inches. Therefore, the sum of the interior edges is still 4.5 + 1.5 + 4.5 + 1.5 = 12 inches. So, my initial answer seems correct.I guess another way to think about it is that the frame adds 1.5 inches on each side, so the exterior is always 3 inches larger on each dimension than the interior. The area of the frame is given, so by setting up the equation as I did, I can solve for the unknown interior dimension. Once I have both interior dimensions, adding them up twice gives the total sum of the interior edges.I don't see any errors in my calculations. The steps seem logical, and the result makes sense. So, I'm confident that the sum of the lengths of the four interior edges is 12 inches.

answer：First, I recognize that lines ( m ) and ( n ) are parallel, which means corresponding angles formed by a transversal are equal. Let ( x ) represent the measure of ( angle 1 ). According to the problem, ( angle 2 ) is six times ( angle 1 ), so ( angle 2 = 6x ).Since ( angle 1 ) and ( angle 5 ) are corresponding angles, they are equal. Therefore, ( angle 5 = x ).Additionally, ( angle 2 ) and ( angle 5 ) form a straight line, meaning their measures add up to ( 180^circ ). This gives the equation:[x + 6x = 180^circ]Simplifying, we find:[7x = 180^circ][x = frac{180^circ}{7}]Thus, the measure of ( angle 5 ) is ( frac{180^circ}{7} ).

answer：To solve the problem, we start with the function ( y = sin 2x ).1. **Translate the graph to the left by ( frac{pi}{4} ) units:** - Replacing ( x ) with ( x + frac{pi}{4} ) in the function gives: [ y = sinleft(2left(x + frac{pi}{4}right)right) = sinleft(2x + frac{pi}{2}right) ] - Using the trigonometric identity ( sinleft(theta + frac{pi}{2}right) = costheta ), we can rewrite the function as: [ y = cos 2x ]2. **Translate the graph upwards by 1 unit:** - Adding 1 to the function gives: [ y = cos 2x + 1 ] - Using the double-angle identity ( cos 2x = 2cos^2 x - 1 ), we can rewrite the function as: [ y = 2cos^2 x ]Thus, the resulting equation of the graph is ( y = 2cos^2 x ).

answer：Okay, so I have this problem about graphing a congruence on modulo 29 graph paper. The congruence is 5x ≡ 2y + 3 mod 29. I need to find the x-intercept and y-intercept of this graph and then add them together. Hmm, let me think about how to approach this.First, I remember that on modulo m graph paper, each point represents a pair of residues (x, y) where both x and y are between 0 and m-1. So, for modulo 29, x and y can be any integer from 0 to 28. The graph of the congruence will mark all the points (x, y) that satisfy 5x ≡ 2y + 3 mod 29.Now, to find the x-intercept, I need to find the point where y = 0. That makes sense because the x-intercept is where the graph crosses the x-axis, which is when y is zero. So, substituting y = 0 into the equation, I get:5x ≡ 2(0) + 3 mod 295x ≡ 3 mod 29Okay, so I need to solve for x in this congruence. That means I need to find the multiplicative inverse of 5 mod 29 because I can multiply both sides by the inverse to isolate x. I remember that the inverse of a number a mod m is a number b such that ab ≡ 1 mod m. So, I need to find a number b where 5b ≡ 1 mod 29.Let me try to find this inverse. I can use the Extended Euclidean Algorithm for this. The algorithm finds integers x and y such that ax + my = gcd(a, m). Since 5 and 29 are coprime (their gcd is 1), there should be a solution.So, let's apply the Extended Euclidean Algorithm to 5 and 29.29 divided by 5 is 5 with a remainder of 4. So, 29 = 5*5 + 4.Now, divide 5 by 4. That gives 1 with a remainder of 1. So, 5 = 4*1 + 1.Next, divide 4 by 1. That gives 4 with a remainder of 0. So, 4 = 1*4 + 0.Now, the gcd is 1, which we already knew. Now, let's work backwards to express 1 as a linear combination of 5 and 29.From the second equation: 1 = 5 - 4*1But 4 is from the first equation: 4 = 29 - 5*5Substitute that into the equation for 1:1 = 5 - (29 - 5*5)*11 = 5 - 29 + 5*51 = 5*6 - 29*1So, 1 = 5*6 - 29*1This means that 5*6 ≡ 1 mod 29. Therefore, the inverse of 5 mod 29 is 6.Great, so now I can solve 5x ≡ 3 mod 29 by multiplying both sides by 6:x ≡ 3*6 mod 29x ≡ 18 mod 29So, the x-intercept is at (18, 0). That seems straightforward.Now, let's find the y-intercept. The y-intercept is where the graph crosses the y-axis, which is when x = 0. So, substituting x = 0 into the original congruence:5(0) ≡ 2y + 3 mod 290 ≡ 2y + 3 mod 29Which simplifies to:2y + 3 ≡ 0 mod 292y ≡ -3 mod 29Hmm, negative numbers in modular arithmetic can be a bit tricky. I think it's easier to convert -3 to a positive equivalent mod 29. Since -3 + 29 = 26, we can write:2y ≡ 26 mod 29Now, I need to solve for y. Again, I need the inverse of 2 mod 29. Let's find that using the Extended Euclidean Algorithm.29 divided by 2 is 14 with a remainder of 1. So, 29 = 2*14 + 1.Now, divide 2 by 1. That gives 2 with a remainder of 0. So, 2 = 1*2 + 0.The gcd is 1, as expected. Now, expressing 1 as a linear combination:From the first equation: 1 = 29 - 2*14So, 1 = 29 - 2*14This means that 1 ≡ -2*14 mod 29, which implies that the inverse of 2 mod 29 is -14. But we can write -14 as a positive number mod 29 by adding 29: -14 + 29 = 15. So, the inverse of 2 mod 29 is 15.Therefore, multiplying both sides of 2y ≡ 26 mod 29 by 15:y ≡ 26*15 mod 29Let me compute 26*15. 26*10 is 260, and 26*5 is 130, so 260 + 130 = 390.Now, 390 mod 29. Let's divide 390 by 29 to find the remainder.29*13 = 377, because 29*10=290, 29*3=87, so 290+87=377.390 - 377 = 13.So, 390 mod 29 is 13. Therefore, y ≡ 13 mod 29.So, the y-intercept is at (0, 13).Now, I need to find x0 + y0, where x0 is 18 and y0 is 13.18 + 13 = 31.Wait, but 31 is larger than 29. Do I need to take it mod 29? The problem says 0 ≤ x0, y0 < 29, but it doesn't specify for the sum. It just asks for the value of x0 + y0. So, I think 31 is the correct answer.Let me double-check my calculations to make sure I didn't make any mistakes.For the x-intercept:5x ≡ 3 mod 29Inverse of 5 is 6, so x ≡ 3*6 = 18 mod 29. That seems correct.For the y-intercept:2y ≡ 26 mod 29Inverse of 2 is 15, so y ≡ 26*15 = 390 ≡ 13 mod 29. That also seems correct.So, x0 + y0 = 18 + 13 = 31.I think that's the answer.
