Problem: For certain real numbers $a$ $b$ , and $c$ , the polynomial \[g(x) = x^3 + ax^2 + x + 10\] has three distinct roots, and each root of $g(x)$ is also a root of the polynomial \[f(x) = x^4 + x^3 + bx^2 + 100x + c.\] What is $f(1)$
$\textbf{(A)}\ -9009 \qquad\textbf{(B)}\ -8008 \qquad\textbf{(C)}\ -7007 \qquad\textbf{(D)}\ -6006 \qquad\textbf{(E)}\ -5005$

Solution: We notice that the constant term of $f(x)=c$ and the constant term in $g(x)=10$ . Because $f(x)$ can be factored as $g(x) \cdot (x- r)$ (where $r$ is the unshared root of $f(x)$ , we see that using the constant term, $-10 \cdot r = c$ and therefore $r = -\frac{c}{10}$ .
Now we once again write $f(x)$ out in factored form:
\[f(x) = g(x)\cdot (x-r) = (x^3+ax^2+x+10)(x+\frac{c}{10})\]
We can expand the expression on the right-hand side to get:
\[f(x) = x^4+(a+\frac{c}{10})x^3+(1+\frac{ac}{10})x^2+(10+\frac{c}{10})x+c\]
Now we have $f(x) = x^4+(a+\frac{c}{10})x^3+(1+\frac{ac}{10})x^2+(10+\frac{c}{10})x+c=x^4+x^3+bx^2+100x+c$
Simply looking at the coefficients for each corresponding term (knowing that they must be equal), we have the equations: \[10+\frac{c}{10}=100 \Rightarrow c=900\] \[a+\frac{c}{10} = 1, c=900 \Rightarrow a + 90 =1 \Rightarrow a= -89\]
and finally,
\[1+\frac{ac}{10} = b = 1+\frac{-89 \cdot 900}{10} = b = -8009\]
We know that $f(1)$ is the sum of its coefficients, hence $1+1+b+100+c$ . We substitute the values we obtained for $b$ and $c$ into this expression to get $f(1) = 1 + 1 + (-8009) + 100 + 900 = \boxed{7007}$

Problem: For certain real numbers $a$ $b$ , and $c$ , the polynomial \[g(x) = x^3 + ax^2 + x + 10\] has three distinct roots, and each root of $g(x)$ is also a root of the polynomial \[f(x) = x^4 + x^3 + bx^2 + 100x + c.\] What is $f(1)$
$\textbf{(A)}\ -9009 \qquad\textbf{(B)}\ -8008 \qquad\textbf{(C)}\ -7007 \qquad\textbf{(D)}\ -6006 \qquad\textbf{(E)}\ -5005$

Solution: Let $r_1,r_2,$ and $r_3$ be the roots of $g(x)$ . Let $r_4$ be the additional root of $f(x)$ . Then from Vieta's formulas on the quadratic term of $g(x)$ and the cubic term of $f(x)$ , we obtain the following:
\begin{align*} r_1+r_2+r_3&=-a \\  r_1+r_2+r_3+r_4&=-1 \end{align*}
Thus $r_4=a-1$
Now applying Vieta's formulas on the constant term of $g(x)$ , the linear term of $g(x)$ , and the linear term of $f(x)$ , we obtain:
\begin{align*} r_1r_2r_3  & = -10\\ r_1r_2+r_2r_3+r_3r_1 &= 1\\  r_1r_2r_3+r_2r_3r_4+r_3r_4r_1+r_4r_1r_2  & = -100\\ \end{align*}
Substituting for $r_1r_2r_3$ in the bottom equation and factoring the remainder of the expression, we obtain:
\[-10+(r_1r_2+r_2r_3+r_3r_1)r_4=-10+r_4=-100\]
It follows that $r_4=-90$ . But $r_4=a-1$ so $a=-89$
Now we can factor $f(x)$ in terms of $g(x)$ as
\[f(x)=(x-r_4)g(x)=(x+90)g(x)\]
Then $f(1)=91g(1)$ and
\[g(1)=1^3-89\cdot 1^2+1+10=-77\]
Hence $f(1)=91\cdot(-77)=\boxed{7007}$

Problem: For certain real numbers $a$ $b$ , and $c$ , the polynomial \[g(x) = x^3 + ax^2 + x + 10\] has three distinct roots, and each root of $g(x)$ is also a root of the polynomial \[f(x) = x^4 + x^3 + bx^2 + 100x + c.\] What is $f(1)$
$\textbf{(A)}\ -9009 \qquad\textbf{(B)}\ -8008 \qquad\textbf{(C)}\ -7007 \qquad\textbf{(D)}\ -6006 \qquad\textbf{(E)}\ -5005$

Solution: Let the roots of $g(x)$ be $r_1$ $r_2$ , and $r_3$ . Let the roots of $f(x)$ be $r_1$ $r_2$ $r_3$ , and $r_4$ . From Vieta's, we have: \begin{align*} r_1+r_2+r_3=-a \\ r_1+r_2+r_3+r_4=-1 \\ r_4=a-1 \end{align*} The fourth root is $a-1$ . Since $r_1$ $r_2$ , and $r_3$ are common roots, we have: \begin{align*} f(x)=g(x)(x-(a-1)) \\ f(1)=g(1)(1-(a-1)) \\ f(1)=(a+12)(2-a) \\ f(1)=-(a+12)(a-2) \\ \end{align*} Let $a-2=k$ \begin{align*} f(1)=-k(k+14) \end{align*} Note that $-7007=-1001\cdot(7)=-(7\cdot(11)\cdot(13))\cdot(7)=-91\cdot(77)$ This gives us a pretty good guess of $\boxed{7007}$

Solution: First off, let's get rid of the $x^4$ term by finding $h(x)=f(x)-xg(x)$ . This polynomial consists of the difference of two polynomials with $3$ common factors, so it must also have these factors. The polynomial is $h(x)=(1-a)x^3 + (b-1)x^2 + 90x + c$ , and must be equal to $(1-a)g(x)$ . Equating the coefficients, we get $3$ equations. We will tackle the situation one equation at a time, starting the $x$ terms. Looking at the coefficients, we get $\dfrac{90}{1-a} = 1$ \[\therefore 90=1-a.\] The solution to the previous is obviously $a=-89$ . We can now find $b$ and $c$ $\dfrac{b-1}{1-a} = a$ \[\therefore b-1=a(1-a)=-89*90=-8010\] and $b=-8009$ . Finally $\dfrac{c}{1-a} = 10$ \[\therefore c=10(1-a)=10*90=900\] Solving the original problem, $f(1)=1 + 1 + b + 100 + c = 102+b+c=102+900-8009=\boxed{7007}$

Problem: For certain real numbers $a$ $b$ , and $c$ , the polynomial \[g(x) = x^3 + ax^2 + x + 10\] has three distinct roots, and each root of $g(x)$ is also a root of the polynomial \[f(x) = x^4 + x^3 + bx^2 + 100x + c.\] What is $f(1)$
$\textbf{(A)}\ -9009 \qquad\textbf{(B)}\ -8008 \qquad\textbf{(C)}\ -7007 \qquad\textbf{(D)}\ -6006 \qquad\textbf{(E)}\ -5005$

Solution: Simple polynomial division is a feasible method. Even though we have variables, we can equate terms at the end of the division so that we can cancel terms. Doing the division of $\frac{f(x)}{g(x)}$ eventually brings us the final step $(1-a)x^3 + (b-1)x^2 + 90x + c$ minus $(1-a)x^3 - (a-a^2)x^2 + (1-a)x + 10(1-a)$ after we multiply $f(x)$ by $(1-a)$ . Now we equate coefficients of same-degree $x$ terms. This gives us $10(1-a) = c, b-1 = a - a^2, 1-a = 90 \Rightarrow a = -89, c = 900, b = -8009$ . We are interested in finding $f(1)$ , which equals $1^4 + 1^3 -8009\cdot1^2 + 100\cdot1 + 900 = \boxed{7007}$ . ~skyscraper

Answer: C 7007
Problem: For certain real numbers $a$ $b$ , and $c$ , the polynomial \[g(x) = x^3 + ax^2 + x + 10\] has three distinct roots, and each root of $g(x)$ is also a root of the polynomial \[f(x) = x^4 + x^3 + bx^2 + 100x + c.\] What is $f(1)$
$\textbf{(A)}\ -9009 \qquad\textbf{(B)}\ -8008 \qquad\textbf{(C)}\ -7007 \qquad\textbf{(D)}\ -6006 \qquad\textbf{(E)}\ -5005$

Solution: We first note that $f(x) = g(x) \cdot q(x) + r(x)$ where $q$ is the quotient function and $r$ is the remainder function.
Clearly, $r(x) = 0$ because every single root in $g$ is also in $f$ , thus implying $g$ divides $f$ .
So, we wish to find $f(1) = g(1) \cdot q(1)$
Such an expression for $g(1)$ is pretty clean here as we can obtain $g(1) = a + 12$ , so we rewrite $f(1) = (a + 12) \cdot q(1)$ .
Well, now we need to know how $q$ is expressed in order to obtain $q(1)$ . This motivates us to long divide to obtain the quotient function. After simple long division $q(x) = x + (1 - a)$ . In addition, what is left over, namely $r(x)$ , has a constant piece of $a + 89$ (you'll see in a few sentences why we only care about particularly the constant piece).
Now we can write: $f(1) = (a + 12) \cdot (2 - a)$
Now, as we have already established $r(x) = 0$ for ALL $x$ that means $r(0)$ or the constant piece is $0$ , so $89 + a = 0$ , in which we obtain $a = -89$ . We now plug this back into our equation for $f(1)$ to get $(-89 + 12)(2 - (89)) = -77 \cdot 91 = \boxed{7007}$ . ~triggod

Answer: C 7007
Problem: How many integers between $100$ and $999$ , inclusive, have the property that some permutation of its digits is a multiple of $11$ between $100$ and $999?$ For example, both $121$ and $211$ have this property.
$\textbf{(A) } 226 \qquad \textbf{(B) } 243 \qquad \textbf{(C) } 270 \qquad \textbf{(D) } 469 \qquad \textbf{(E) } 486$

Solution: There are 81 multiples of 11 between $100$ and $999$ inclusive. Some have digits repeated twice, making 3 permutations.
Others that have no repeated digits have 6 permutations, but switching the hundreds and units digits also yield a multiple of 11. Switching shows we have overcounted by a factor of 2, so assign $6 \div 2 = 3$ permutations to each multiple.
There are now 81*3 = 243 permutations, but we have overcounted*. Some multiples of 11 have $0$ as a digit. Since $0$ cannot be the digit of the hundreds place, we must subtract a permutation for each.
There are 110, 220, 330 ... 990, yielding 9 extra permutations
Also, there are 209, 308, 407...902, yielding 8 more permutations.
Now, just subtract these 17 from the total (243) to get 226. $\boxed{226}$

Problem: How many integers between $100$ and $999$ , inclusive, have the property that some permutation of its digits is a multiple of $11$ between $100$ and $999?$ For example, both $121$ and $211$ have this property.
$\textbf{(A) } 226 \qquad \textbf{(B) } 243 \qquad \textbf{(C) } 270 \qquad \textbf{(D) } 469 \qquad \textbf{(E) } 486$

Solution: We note that we only have to consider multiples of $11$ and see how many valid permutations each has. We can do casework on the number of repeating digits that the multiple of $11$ has:
$\textbf{Case 1:}$ All three digits are the same. 
By inspection, we find that there are no multiples of $11$ here.
$\textbf{Case 2:}$ Two of the digits are the same, and the third is different.
$\textbf{Case 2a:}$ There are $8$ multiples of $11$ without a zero that have this property: $121$ $242$ $363$ $484$ $616$ $737$ $858$ $979$ .
Each contributes $3$ valid permutations, so there are $8 \cdot 3 = 24$ permutations in this subcase.
$\textbf{Case 2b:}$ There are $9$ multiples of $11$ with a zero that have this property: $110$ $220$ $330$ $440$ $550$ $660$ $770$ $880$ $990$ .
Each one contributes $2$ valid permutations (the first digit can't be zero), so there are $9 \cdot 2 = 18$ permutations in this subcase.
$\textbf{Case 3:}$ All the digits are different.
Since there are $\frac{990-110}{11}+1 = 81$ multiples of $11$ between $100$ and $999$ , there are $81-8-9 = 64$ multiples of $11$ remaining in this case. However, $8$ of them contain a zero, namely $209$ $308$ $407$ $506$ $605$ $704$ $803$ , and $902$ . Each of those multiples of $11$ contributes $2 \cdot 2=4$ valid permutations, but we overcounted by a factor of $2$ ; every permutation of $209$ , for example, is also a permutation of $902$ . Therefore, there are $8 \cdot 4 / 2 = 16$ . Therefore, there are $64-8=56$ remaining multiples of $11$ without a $0$ in this case. Each one contributes $3! = 6$ valid permutations, but once again, we overcounted by a factor of $2$ (note that if a number ABC is a multiple of $11$ , then so is CBA). Therefore, there are $56 \cdot 6 / 2 = 168$ valid permutations in this subcase.
Adding up all the permutations from all the cases, we have $24+18+16+168 = \boxed{226}$

Problem: How many integers between $100$ and $999$ , inclusive, have the property that some permutation of its digits is a multiple of $11$ between $100$ and $999?$ For example, both $121$ and $211$ have this property.
$\textbf{(A) } 226 \qquad \textbf{(B) } 243 \qquad \textbf{(C) } 270 \qquad \textbf{(D) } 469 \qquad \textbf{(E) } 486$

Solution: We can first overcount and then subtract.
We know that there are $81$ multiples of $11$
We can then multiply by $6$ for each permutation of these multiples. (Yet some multiples do not have six distinct permutations.)
Now divide by $2$ , because if a number $abc$ with digits $a$ $b$ , and $c$ is a multiple of $11$ , then $cba$ is also a multiple of $11$ so we have counted the same permutations twice.
Basically, each multiple of $11$ has its own $3$ permutations (say $abc$ has $abc$ $acb$ and $bac$ whereas $cba$ has $cba$ $cab$ and $bca$ ). We know that each multiple of $11$ has at least $3$ permutations because it cannot have $3$ repeating digits.
Hence we have $243$ permutations without subtracting for overcounting.
Now note that we overcounted cases in which we have $0$ 's at the start of each number. So, in theory, we could just answer $A$ and then move on.
If we want to solve it, then we continue.
We overcounted cases where the middle digit of the number is $0$ and the last digit is $0$
Note that we assigned each multiple of $11$ three permutations.
The last digit is $0$ gives $9$ possibilities where we overcounted by $1$ permutation for each of $110, 220, ... , 990$
The middle digit is $0$ gives $8$ possibilities where we overcount by $1$ $605, 704, 803, 902$ and $506, 407, 308, 209$
Subtracting $17$ gives $\boxed{226}$

$\textbf{(A) } 226 \qquad \textbf{(B) } 243 \qquad \textbf{(C) } 270 \qquad \textbf{(D) } 469 \qquad \textbf{(E) } 486$

Solution: Taken from solution three, we notice that there are a total of $81$ multiples of $11$ between $100$ and $999$ , and each of them have at most $6$ permutation (and thus is a permutations of $6$ numbers), giving us a maximum of $486$ valid numbers.
However, if $abc$ can be divided by $11$ , so can $cba$ , which is distinct if $c \neq a$ . And if $c = a$ then $abc$ and $cba$ have the same permutations. Either way, we have doubled counted. 
This reduces the number of permutations to $486/2 =  243$
Furthermore, if $a=b$ or $c=0$ (which turn out to be equivalent conditions! for example $220$ ), not all (inverse) permutations are distinct ( $\mathbf{2}20 = 2\mathbf{2}0$ ) or valid ( $022$ ). (There are 9 of these.)
Similarly, for $a0b$ , not all (inverse) permutations are valid. (There are 8 of these.)
As long as you notice at least one example of one of these 3 cases, you may infer that the answer must be smaller than $243$ . This leaves us with only one possible answer: $\boxed{226}$

Answer: A 226
Problem: Mary thought of a positive two-digit number. She multiplied it by $3$ and added $11$ . Then she switched the digits of the result, obtaining a number between $71$ and $75$ , inclusive. What was Mary's number?
$\textbf{(A)}\ 11\qquad\textbf{(B)}\ 12\qquad\textbf{(C)}\ 13\qquad\textbf{(D)}\ 14\qquad\textbf{(E)}\ 15$

Solution: Let her $2$ -digit number be $x$ . Multiplying by $3$ makes it a multiple of $3$ , meaning that the sum of its digits is divisible by $3$ . Adding on $11$ increases the sum of the digits by $1+1 = 2,$ (we can ignore numbers such as $39+11=50$ ) and reversing the digits keeps the sum of the digits the same; this means that the resulting number must be $2$ more than a multiple of $3$ . There are two such numbers between $71$ and $75$ $71$ and $74.$ Now that we have narrowed down the choices, we can simply test the answers to see which one will provide a two-digit number when the steps are reversed: \[\] For $71,$ we reverse the digits, resulting in $17.$ Subtracting $11$ , we get $6.$ We can already see that dividing this by $3$ will not be a two-digit number, so $71$ does not meet our requirements. \[\] Therefore, the answer must be the reversed steps applied to $74.$ We have the following: \[\] $74\rightarrow47\rightarrow36\rightarrow12$ \[\] Therefore, our answer is $\boxed{12}$

$\textbf{(A)}\ 11\qquad\textbf{(B)}\ 12\qquad\textbf{(C)}\ 13\qquad\textbf{(D)}\ 14\qquad\textbf{(E)}\ 15$

Solution: Working backwards, we reverse the digits of each number from $71$ $75$ and subtract $11$ from each, so we have \[6, 16, 26, 36, 46\] The only numbers from this list that are divisible by $3$ are $6$ and $36$ . We divide both by $3$ , yielding $2$ and $12$ . Since $2$ is not a two-digit number, the answer is $\boxed{12}$

Solution: You can just plug in the numbers to see which one works. When you get to $12$ , you multiply by $3$ and add $11$ to get $47$ . When you reverse the digits of $47$ , you get $74$ , which is within the given range. Thus, the answer is $\boxed{12}$

$\textbf{(A)}\ 11\qquad\textbf{(B)}\ 12\qquad\textbf{(C)}\ 13\qquad\textbf{(D)}\ 14\qquad\textbf{(E)}\ 15$

Solution: Subtract $11$ from the numbers $71$ through $75$ . This yields $71-11 = 60$ $72-11 = 61$ $73-11 = 62$ $74-11 = 63$ , and $75-11 = 64$ . Of these, the only ones divisible by $3$ are $60$ and $63$ . Therefore, the only possible values are $71$ and $74$ . Switching the digits of each, we get $17$ and $47$ . Subtracting $11$ from each, we get the numbers $6$ and $36$ . Dividing each by $3$ , we get $2$ and $12$ . The only two-digit number is $12$ , so the answer is $\boxed{12}$

Solution: Note that the number of jellybeans minus $2 \cdot 10 = 20$ is a multiple of $4$ and positive. Therefore, the number of jellybeans is a multiple of $4$ and $>20$ . The only answer choice satisfying this is $\boxed{40}$

Answer: D 40
Problem: What is the largest number of solid $2\text{-in} \times 2\text{-in} \times 1\text{-in}$ blocks that can fit in a $3\text{-in} \times 2\text{-in}\times3\text{-in}$ box?
$\textbf{(A)}\ 3\qquad\textbf{(B)}\ 4\qquad\textbf{(C)}\ 5\qquad\textbf{(D)}\ 6\qquad\textbf{(E)}\ 7$

Solution: We find that the volume of the larger block is $18$ , and the volume of the smaller block is $4$ . Dividing the two, we see that only a maximum of four $2$ by $2$ by $1$ blocks can fit inside the $3$ by $3$ by $2$ block. Drawing it out, we see that such a configuration is indeed possible. Therefore, the answer is $\boxed{4}$

Answer: B 4
Problem: Samia set off on her bicycle to visit her friend, traveling at an average speed of $17$ kilometers per hour. When she had gone half the distance to her friend's house, a tire went flat, and she walked the rest of the way at $5$ kilometers per hour. In all it took her $44$ minutes to reach her friend's house. In kilometers rounded to the nearest tenth, how far did Samia walk?
$\textbf{(A)}\ 2.0\qquad\textbf{(B)}\ 2.2\qquad\textbf{(C)}\ 2.8\qquad\textbf{(D)}\ 3.4\qquad\textbf{(E)}\ 4.4$

Solution: Let's call the distance that Samia had to travel in total as $2x$ , so that we can avoid fractions. We know that the length of the bike ride and how far she walked are equal, so they are both $\frac{2x}{2}$ , or $x$ \[\] She bikes at a rate of $17$ kph, so she travels the distance she bikes in $\frac{x}{17}$ hours. She walks at a rate of $5$ kph, so she travels the distance she walks in $\frac{x}{5}$ hours. \[\] The total time is $\frac{x}{17}+\frac{x}{5} = \frac{22x}{85}$ . This is equal to $\frac{44}{60} = \frac{11}{15}$ of an hour. Solving for $x$ , we have: \[\] \[\frac{22x}{85} = \frac{11}{15}\] \[\frac{2x}{85} = \frac{1}{15}\] \[30x = 85\] \[6x = 17\] \[x = \frac{17}{6}\] \[\] Since $x$ is the distance of how far Samia traveled by both walking and biking, and we want to know how far Samia walked to the nearest tenth, we have that Samia walked about $\boxed{2.8}$

Answer: C 2.8
