2002 AMC 10A 1、The ratio is closestto which ofthe following numbers? Solution We factor a . A , our answer i . 2、For the nonzero number , , , define . Find . Solution . Our answer is then . Alternate solution for the lazy: Without computing the answer exactly, we see that , , and . The sum i , and as all the options are integers, the correct one is obviously . 3、According to the standard convention for exponentiation, . If the order in which the exponentiations are performed is changed, how many other values are possible? Solution The best way to solve this problem is by simple brute force. It is convenient to drop the usual way how exponentiation is denoted, and to write the formula as , where denotes exponentiation. We are now examining all ways to add parentheses to this expression. There are 5 ways to do so: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. We can note that . Therefore options 1 and 2 are equal, and options 3 and 4 are equal. Option 1 is the one given in the problem statement. Thus we only need to evaluate options 3 and 5. Thus the only other result is , and our answer is . 4、For how many positive integers does there exist at least one positive integer such that ? infinitely many Solution Solution 1 For any we can pic , we get , therefore the answer is . Solutio
