. Find

xy

.
p2. Let the roots of

x^2 + 7x + 11

r

and

s

. If f(x) is the monic polynomial with roots

rs + r + s

and

r^2 + s^2

, what is

f(3)

?
p3. Call a positive three digit integer

\overline{ABC}

fancy if

\overline{ABC} = (\overline{AB})^2 - 11 \cdot \overline{C}

. Find the sum of all fancy integers.
p4. In triangle

ABC

, points

D

and

E

are on line segments

BC

and

AC

, respectively, such that

AD

and

BE

intersect at

H

. Suppose that

AC = 12

BC = 30

, and

EC = 6

can be expressed as

\frac{a-b\sqrt{c}}{d}

for positive integers

a

b

c

d

with

c

squarefree and

gcd(a, b, d) = 1

, then find

a + b + c + d

.
p5. Find the minimum possible integer

y

such that

y > 100

x^2 + 18x + y

is a perfect fourth power.
p6. Let

ABCD

be a quadrilateral such that

AB = 2

CD = 4

BC = AD
