p1. Consider the following function f(x)=(12)x(12)x+1f(x) = \left(\frac12 \right)^x - \left(\frac12 \right)^{x+1}. Evaluate the infinite sum f(1)+f(2)+f(3)+f(4)+...f(1) + f(2) + f(3) + f(4) +...
p2. Find the area of the shape bounded by the following relations yx2y \le |x| -2 yx4y \ge |x| - 4 y0y \le 0 where |x| denotes the absolute value of xx.
p3. An equilateral triangle with side length 66 is inscribed inside a circle. What is the diameter of the largest circle that can fit in the circle but outside of the triangle?
p4. Given sinxtanx=sinxtanx\sin x - \tan x = \sin x \tan x, solve for xx in the interval (0,2π)(0, 2\pi), exclusive.
p5. How many rectangles are there in a 66 by 66 square grid?
p6. Find the lateral surface area of a cone with radius 33 and height 44.
p7. From 99 positive integer scores on a 1010-point quiz, the mean is 8 8, the median is 8 8, and the mode is 77. Determine the maximum number of perfect scores possible on this test.
p8. If i=1i =\sqrt{-1}, evaluate the following continued fraction: 2i+12i+12i+12i+...2i +\frac{1}{2i +\frac{1}{2i+ \frac{1}{2i+...}}}
p9. The cubic polynomial x3px2+px6x^3-px^2+px-6 has roots p,qp, q, and rr. What is (1p)(1q)(1r)(1-p)(1-q)(1-r)?
p10. (Variant on a Classic.) Gilnor is a merchant from Cutlass, a town where 10%10\% of the merchants are thieves. The police utilize a lie detector that is 90%90\% accurate to see if Gilnor is one of the thieves. According to the device, Gilnor is a thief. What is the probability that he really is one?
