Let x, y and z be real numbers such that 2 3 4

2x^2 + 3y^2 + 4z^2 = 1 The maximum value of f(x, y,z) = 5x - 6y + 7z is equal to root(a)/b where a and b are relatively prime integers. Find a + b

Find the number of positive integers n less than 1000 such that 20^n - 13^n - 7^n is divisible by 309.

Find the sum of all positive integers n for which a number(11111......2n times) - (7777.....n times) is perfect square ?

For any given integer m, define a sequence of integers as follows.

X0,m = m ;
Xi+1,m =(Xi,m)^2 + 2Xi,m (i=0,1,2,...)
Let N be the sum of all integer 3≤n≤1010 such that Xn,m is divisible by n for every integer m,
1≤m≤(n−2).What are the last 3 digits of N?
Details
That X0, m is xnot,m =m
And Xi+1, m is X of i+1, m

In triangle ABC, ∠A=100∘,∠B=60∘ and BC has side length 1. Let D be the midpoint of side AC, and E is a point on side BC such that ∠EDC=80∘. The value of [ABC]+2[CDE] can be expressed as a√b, where a and b are positive coprime integers. What is the value of a+b?


Note: [PQRS] denotes the area of figure PQRS.and area of ABC+2 × area of CDE is a root b
Angles are given in degree

X=sin (asin (3/5) +atan (2))

X can expressed as a root b /c in simplest form and b is not divisible by prime square
Find a+b+c

2000 persons are standing in a row and they are numbered 1, 2, 3, .., 2000 from left to right. They start shouting letters A, B, C, D, E, A, B, C, D, E, …. From left to right, all those persons who called E loses and have to leave and rest all gets one point and they start to call out A, B, C, D, E, A, B, C, D, E, … from left to right in order again. As before, those who call out 'E' lose and have to leave; those remaining gets 1 more point each and the game starts again. The game is repeated until fewer than 5 players remain. How many points does the player numbered 1002 get?
