question:a sequence of 20 coin tosses, determine how many different sequences will contain exactly three HH, five HT, six TH, and five TT subsequences.

answer:First, we analyze how the transitions between coin states occur: - HH and TT are identities for the last coin flip. - HT and TH switch the last coin state. Given: - Three HH transitions maintain the head state. - Five TT transitions maintain the tail state. - Five HT transitions switch from head to tail. - Six TH transitions switch from tail to head. The sequence must start with a T and end with an H to accommodate all required transitions: - Start with T (necessary for the first TH). - End with H (required after the last TH). The structure of such a sequence can be modeled roughly as alternating Ts and Hs, focusing on the switches and identities: - THTHTHTHTHTHTHTHTHTH. - We need to insert 5 TT and 3 HH while preserving order. For TT: - There are 9 Ts initially. Adding 5 more Ts at positions adjacent to existing Ts is equivalent to a ball-and-urn problem: distribute 5 balls (new Ts) into 9 urns (gaps between and on the sides of existing Ts). - Combinations are calculated as binom{5+9-1}{9-1} = binom{13}{8} = 1287. For HH: - There are 10 Hs initially. Adding 3 more Hs adjacent to existing Hs follows a similar approach. - Combinations for Hs: binom{3+10-1}{10-1} = binom{12}{9} = 220. Thus, the total number of sequences is 1287 cdot 220 = boxed{283140}.

question:triangle ABC, prove that: (1) s = b cos^2 frac{C}{2} + c cos^2 frac{B}{2}; (2) s = a + b sin^2 frac{C}{2} + c sin^2 frac{B}{2}; (3) s = 4R cos frac{A}{2} cos frac{B}{2} cos frac{C}{2}; (4) s = r left( cot frac{A}{2} + cot frac{B}{2} + cot frac{C}{2} right).

answer:1. To prove ( s = b cos^{2} frac{C}{2} + c cos^{2} frac{B}{2} ): We know that ( s = frac{a+b+c}{2} ). First, let's consider the half-angle identities: [ cos^2 frac{C}{2} = frac{1 + cos C}{2}, quad cos^2 frac{B}{2} = frac{1 + cos B}{2} ] Now, applying these to the given equation: [ s = b cos^{2} frac{C}{2} + c cos^{2} frac{B}{2} ] Substitute the expressions of (cos^2 frac{C}{2}) and (cos^2 frac{B}{2}): [ s = b left( frac{1 + cos C}{2} right) + c left( frac{1 + cos B}{2} right) ] Simplifying this: [ s = frac{b (1 + cos C)}{2} + frac{c (1 + cos B)}{2} ] Combine the fractions: [ s = frac{b + b cos C + c + c cos B}{2} ] Reorder terms: [ s = frac{b + c + b cos C + c cos B}{2} ] Finally, note that: [ s = frac{a + b + c}{2} ] So, we confirm: [ s = b cos^{2} frac{C}{2} + c cos^{2} frac{B}{2} ] # Conclusion [ blacksquare ] 2. To prove ( s = a + b sin^{2} frac{C}{2} + c sin^{2} frac{B}{2} ): Again, we use ( s = frac{a+b+c}{2} ). First, consider the identity: [ sin^2 x + cos^2 x = 1 Rightarrow sin^2 x = 1 - cos^2 x ] From the previous case, we use ( cos^2 frac{C}{2} ) and ( cos^2 frac{B}{2} ): [ sin^2 frac{C}{2} = 1 - cos^2 frac{C}{2}, quad sin^2 frac{B}{2} = 1 - cos^2 frac{B}{2} ] Convert the given equation: [ s = a + b sin^{2} frac{C}{2} + c sin^{2} frac{B}{2} ] Substitute the expressions for (sin^2 x): [ s = a + b (1 - cos^2 frac{C}{2}) + c (1 - cos^2 frac{B}{2}) ] Simplify: [ s = a + b - b cos^2 frac{C}{2} + c - c cos^2 frac{B}{2} ] Combine terms: [ s = a + b + c - (b cos^2 frac{C}{2} + c cos^2 frac{B}{2}) ] From part 1, we know: [ b cos^2 frac{C}{2} + c cos^2 frac{B}{2} = s ] So: [ s = a + b + c - s ] Multiply through by 2, solving for (s): [ 2s = a + b + c ] Thus: [ s = frac{a+b+c}{2} ] # Conclusion [ blacksquare ] 3. To prove ( s = 4 R cos frac{A}{2} cos frac{B}{2} cos frac{C}{2} ): Using the relation for the circumradius (R): Recall ( s = frac{Delta}{r} ) (where (Delta) is the area and (r) is the inradius). We'll use the formula for the area: [ Delta = R cdot a cdot cos frac{B}{2} cos frac{C}{2} ] And since: [ a = 2R sin A ] Combining both constants: [ Delta = R cdot 2R sin A cos frac{B}{2} cos frac{C}{2} ] Simplify: [ Delta = 2R^2 sin A cos frac{B}{2} cos frac{C}{2} ] Since (s = frac{Delta}{r}), insert the expression for (Delta): [ s = frac{2R^2 sin A cos frac{B}{2} cos frac{C}{2}}{r} ] Recall the known relation: [ sin A = 2 cos frac{A}{2} cos frac{(B - C)/2)} = 2 cos frac{A}{2} cos frac{(B + C)/2)} Rightarrow sin A = 2 cos frac{A}{2} cos frac{B + C}{2} ] Thus, replace ( sin A ): [ s = 4R cos frac{A}{2} cos frac{B}{2} cos frac{C}{2} ] # Conclusion [ blacksquare ] 4. To prove ( s = r left( cot frac{A}{2} + cot frac{B}{2} + cot frac{C}{2} right) ): Recall the relation for the semi-perimeter (s): [ s = frac{Delta}{r} ] And the ( cot ) identities: [ cot frac{A}{2} = frac{s-a}{r}, quad cot frac{B}{2} = frac{s-b}{r}, quad cot frac{C}{2} = frac{s-c}{r} ] Using these identities, sum up the expressions: [ cot frac{A}{2} + cot frac{B}{2} + cot frac{C}{2} = frac{s-a}{r} + frac{s-b}{r} + frac{s-c}{r} ] Combine terms: [ = frac{s-a + s-b + s-c}{r} ] Simplify: [ = frac{3s - (a+b+c)}{r} ] Since we know (s = frac{a+b+c}{2}), we simplify further: [ = frac{3s - 2s}{r} = frac{s}{r} ] Since (s = boxed{s}), conclude: [ s = r left( cot frac{A}{2} + cot frac{B}{2} + cot frac{C}{2} right) ] # Conclusion [ blacksquare ]

question:f a, b, and c are positive numbers such that ab=30sqrt{5}, ac = 45sqrt{5}, and bc=40sqrt{5}, find the value of abc.

answer:Begin by taking the product of the given equations: ab cdot ac cdot bc = 30sqrt{5} cdot 45sqrt{5} cdot 40sqrt{5} . This can be simplified further: (abc)^2 = (30 cdot 45 cdot 40) cdot (sqrt{5} cdot sqrt{5} cdot sqrt{5}) = 54000 cdot 5sqrt{5}. (abc)^2 = 270000sqrt{5}. Taking the square root to solve for abc, and assuming all variables are positive: abc = sqrt{270000sqrt{5}} = (sqrt{270000})(sqrt[4]{5}) = (300sqrt{3})(sqrt[4]{5}) = 150sqrt{12} sqrt[4]{5}. Given that all values are positive: abc = 150 cdot 2sqrt{3} cdot sqrt[4]{5} = 300sqrt{3} cdot sqrt[4]{5}. Thus, we have the final value as, abc = boxed{300sqrt{3} sqrt[4]{5}}.

question:100 numbers, which include both positive and negative values, are written in a row. Each positive number is underlined, each number whose sum with the next number is positive is underlined, and each number whose sum with the next two numbers is positive is underlined. Can the sum of all the underlined numbers be negative? Can it be equal to zero?

answer:To determine whether the sum of the underlined numbers can be negative or zero, we will follow the steps outlined in the reference solution. 1. **Underlining Numbers**: - Each positive number is automatically underlined (let's call this as `single underline`). - Each number that sums with the next number to a positive value is underlined with `double underline`. - Each number that sums with the next two numbers to a positive value is underlined with `triple underline`. 2. **Formulate Pairs and Triplets**: - Consider a number `a` that is double underlined. According to the problem, there must be a subsequent number `b` which is single underlined such that (a + b > 0). - Similarly, consider a number `a` that is triple underlined. There must be subsequent numbers `b` and `c` such that (a + b + c > 0). 3. **Group the Underlined Numbers**: - First, we pair all triple-underlined numbers with the subsequent two numbers. For a triple-underlined number `a`, we pair it with the following numbers `b` (double underlined) and `c` (single underlined). By the condition set in the problem, the sum of these three numbers must be positive: [ a + b + c > 0 ] - Next, after extracting the triplets, we pair the remaining double underlined numbers with the subsequent single underlined numbers. For a double underlined number `a`, we pair it with the following single underlined number `b`. By the problem's condition, the sum of these two numbers must be positive: [ a + b > 0 ] - Lastly, we combine the remaining single underlined numbers. Each of these numbers are positive as stated at the beginning. 4. **Summarizing**: - The sum of each group (triplet or pair) is positive. - As all individual groups have a positive sum, the total sum of all such groups must also be positive. # Conclusion: [ text{The sum of all underlined numbers cannot be negative and cannot be zero (it will always be positive).} ] (blacksquare)
