Calculate \(\int_0^{\pi/2} (\sin^2 (\sin x) + \cos^2 (\cos x))\,dx\).
2001 vertices of a regular 5000-gon are painted. Prove that there are three coloured vertices lying on the vertices of an isosceles triangle.
The key of the cipher, called the “swivelling grid”, is a stencil made from a square sheet of chequered paper of size \(n \times n\) (where \(n\) is even). Some of the cells are cut out. One side of the stencil is marked. When this stencil is placed onto a blank sheet of paper in four possible ways (marked side up, right, down or left), its cut-outs completely cover the entire area of the square, where each cell is found under the cut-out exactly once. The letters of the message, that have length \(n^2\), are successively written into the cut-outs of the stencil, where the sheet of paper is placed on a blank sheet of paper with the marked side up. After filling in all of the cut-outs of the stencil with the letters of the message, the stencil is placed in the next position, etc. After removing the stencil from the sheet of paper, there is an encrypted message.
Find the number of different keys for an arbitrary even number \(n\).
26 numbers are chosen from the numbers 1, 2, 3, ..., 49, 50. Will there always be two numbers chosen whose difference is 1?
Sam and Lena have several chocolates, each weighing not more than 100 grams. No matter how they share these chocolates, one of them will have a total weight of chocolate that does not exceed 100 grams. What is the maximum total weight of all of the chocolates?
From the set of numbers 1 to \(2n\), \(n + 1\) numbers are chosen. Prove that among the chosen numbers there are two, one of which is divisible by another.
We are given 51 two-digit numbers – we will count one-digit numbers as two-digit numbers with a leading 0. Prove that it is possible to choose 6 of these so that no two of them have the same digit in the same column.
You are given 1002 different integers that are no greater than 2000. Prove that it is always possible to choose three of the given numbers so that the sum of two of them is equal to the third.
Will this still always be possible if we are given 1001 integers rather than 1002?
Prove that amongst any 11 different decimal fractions of infinite length, there will be two whose digits in the same column – 10ths, 100s, 1000s, etc – coincide (are the same) an infinite number of times.
An iterative polyline serves as a geometric interpretation of the iteration process. To construct it, on the \(Oxy\) plane, the graph of the function \(f (x)\) is drawn and the bisector of the coordinate angle is drawn, as is the straight line \(y = x\). Then on the graph of the function the points \[A_0 (x_0, f (x_0)), A_1 (x_1, f (x_1)), \dots, A_n (x_n, f (x_n)), \dots\] are noted and on the bisector of the coordinate angle – the points \[B_0 (x_0, x_0), B_1 (x_1, x_1), \dots , B_n (x_n, x_n), \dots.\] The polygonal line \(B_0A_0B_1A_1 \dots B_nA_n \dots\) is called iterative.
Construct an iterative polyline from the following information:
a) \(f (x) = 1 + x/2\), \(x_0 = 0\), \(x_0 = 8\);
b) \(f (x) = 1/x\), \(x_0 = 2\);
c) \(f (x) = 2x - 1\), \(x_0 = 0\), \(x_0 = 1{,}125\);
d) \(f (x) = - 3x/2 + 6\), \(x_0 = 5/2\);
e) \(f (x) = x^2 + 3x - 3\), \(x_0 = 1\), \(x_0 = 0{,}99\), \(x_0 = 1{,}01\);
f) \(f (x) = \sqrt{1 + x}\), \(x_0 = 0\), \(x_0 = 8\);
g) \(f (x) = x^3/3 - 5x^2/x + 25x/6 + 3\), \(x_0 = 3\).
