Algebra A

1. Let a  b = ab − 4(a + b) + 20. Evaluate


1  (2  (3  (· · · (99  100) · · · ))).
√
2. Suppose z 3 = 2 + 2i, where i = −1. The product of all possible values of the real part of z
can be written in the form pq where p and q are relatively prime positive integers. Find p + q.
3. Let Γ be the maximum possible value of a + 3b + 9c among all triples (a, b, c) of positive real
numbers such that
log30 (a + b + c) = log8 (3a) = log27 (3b) = log125 (3c).
p
If Γ = q where p and q are relatively prime positive integers, then find p + q.
4. Let a1 , a2 , . . . be a sequence of positive real numbers such that an = 11an−1 − n for all n > 1.
The smallest possible value of a1 can be written as pq , where p and q are relatively prime
positive integers. Find p + q?
5. Let f0 (x) = x, and for each n ≥ 0, let fn+1 (x) = fn (x2 (3−2x)). Find the smallest real number
that is at least as large as

for all a ∈ [0, 1].
6. Together, Kenneth and Ellen pick a real number a. Kenneth subtracts a from every thousandth
root of unity (that is, the thousand complex numbers ω for which ω 1000 = 1) then inverts each,
then sums the results. Ellen inverts every thousandth root of unity, then subtracts a from each,
and then sums the results. They are surprised to find that they actually got the same answer!
How many possible values of a are there?
7. The sum
