question:The distance between points ( A ) and ( B ) is 270 meters. A body moves uniformly from ( A ) to ( B ); upon reaching ( B ), it immediately returns with the same speed. A second body leaves ( B ) towards ( A ) 11 seconds after the first body leaves ( A ) and moves uniformly but slower. On the way from ( B ) to ( A ), the second body meets the first body twice: 10 seconds and 40 seconds after it leaves ( B ). Find the speed of each body.

answer:1. Let's denote the speed of the first body as (v_1) and the speed of the second body as (v_2). We know that the first body travels from point (A) to point (B) and returns, while the second body begins its journey from (B) to (A) 11 seconds after the first body leaves (A). 2. Considering the distance between point (A) and (B), which is 270 meters, we set up the equations based on the distances traveled by both bodies at the two moments when they meet. 3. The second body leaves point (B) at (t = 11) seconds. The first meeting between the two bodies happens after the second body has traveled for (10) seconds. So, the total time elapsed since the first body started is (11 + 10 = 21) seconds. 4. By the time of the first meeting, the distances traveled by both bodies will satisfy the following equation: [ 21 v_1 + 10 v_2 = 270 ] 5. Calculate the speed of (v_1) and (v_2) using the second meeting criteria. The second body travels for an additional (30) seconds after their first meeting (i.e., a total of (40) seconds from its start). Therefore, the total time elapsed since the first body started is (11 + 40 = 51) seconds. 6. Using the relationship between distances covered by both bodies when they meet the second time: [ 51 v_1 + 40 v_2 = 540 quad text{(This is incorrect, recalibration: we will calculate it from time different)} ] 7. Analyzing from greater simplicity of resultant intersection of two lines: When the first body travels back and forth, [ AB = v_1 cdot 21 ] [ BA = v_1 cdot 30 = 270 ] 8. Further, for detailed clarity: it meets in reverse proportion, [ text{From 10-sec relative velocity: portion cross-dissipate from overall time} e.g., N=21 -> [retracted distance of approach] K=40 HM - aligned proportionate all trajectory covered 9.

question:A train running at the speed of 120 km/hr crosses a pole in 15 seconds. Find the length of the train.

answer:To find the length of the train, we can use the formula: Distance = Speed × Time Given that the speed of the train is 120 km/hr, we need to convert this speed into meters per second (m/s) because the time is given in seconds. We know that 1 km = 1000 meters and 1 hour = 3600 seconds. So, to convert km/hr to m/s, we multiply by 1000 and divide by 3600. Speed in m/s = (Speed in km/hr) × (1000 m/km) / (3600 s/hr) Speed in m/s = 120 × 1000 / 3600 Speed in m/s = 120000 / 3600 Speed in m/s = 33.33 m/s (approximately) Now, we can calculate the distance, which is the length of the train, using the time it takes to cross the pole. Time = 15 seconds Distance (Length of the train) = Speed × Time Distance = 33.33 m/s × 15 s Distance = 499.95 meters Therefore, the length of the train is approximately boxed{500} meters.

question:For polynomial R(x) = 1 dfrac{1}{4}x + dfrac{1}{8}x^2, define [S(x) = R(x)R(x^2)R(x^4)R(x^6).] Find sum_{i=0}^{28} |b_i|, where S(x) = sum_{i=0}^{28} b_ix^i.

answer:Consider the polynomial R(x) = 1 - frac{1}{4}x + frac{1}{8}x^2 and evaluate S(x): [ S(x) = R(x)R(x^2)R(x^4)R(x^6) = left( 1 - frac{1}{4}x + frac{1}{8}x^2 right) left( 1 - frac{1}{4}x^2 + frac{1}{8}x^4 right) left( 1 - frac{1}{4}x^4 + frac{1}{8}x^8 right) left( 1 - frac{1}{4}x^6 + frac{1}{8}x^{12} right). ] To solve for sum_{i=0}^{28} |b_i|, similar to the initial problem, compute S(-1): [ S(-1) = R(-1)R((-1)^2)R((-1)^4)R((-1)^6) = R(-1)R(1)R(1)R(1). ] Then, evaluate R(-1) and R(1): [ R(-1) = 1 + frac{1}{4} + frac{1}{8} = frac{10}{8} = frac{5}{4}, quad R(1) = 1 - frac{1}{4} + frac{1}{8} = frac{7}{8}. ] So, [ S(-1) = left(frac{5}{4}right) left(frac{7}{8}right)^3 = frac{5}{4} cdot frac{343}{512} = frac{1715}{2048}. ] Therefore, the absolute sum of the coefficients is: [ boxed{frac{1715}{2048}}. ]

question:Let k, n, p in mathbb{N}. Show that sum_{j=n}^{p} binom{k}{j} = binom{p+1}{k+1} binom{n}{k+1}

answer:1. **Understanding the problem:** We need to show that: [ sum_{j=n}^{p} binom{k}{j} = binom{p+1}{k+1} - binom{n}{k+1} ] We will use a combinatorial argument involving the maximum element of subsets to derive this result. 2. **Combinatorial structure:** Consider all subsets of {1, ldots, p+1} with exactly k+1 elements. We partition these subsets according to the value of their maximum element. 3. **Counting subsets with a given maximum:** Let j in {n+1, ldots, p+1}. If we fix j as the maximum element of a subset, then the remaining k elements must come from {1, ldots, j-1}. There are binom{j-1}{k} such subsets. 4. **Summing over all relevant maximums:** Thus, the number of (k+1)-element subsets of {1, ldots, p+1} with maximum elements ranging from n+1 to p+1 is: [ sum_{j=n+1}^{p+1} binom{j-1}{k} ] 5. **Relation to binomial coefficients:** This sum can be rewritten by shifting the index, setting i = j-1, and noting that i then ranges from n to p: [ sum_{j=n+1}^{p+1} binom{j-1}{k} = sum_{i=n}^{p} binom{i}{k} ] 6. **Summing all subsets up to p+1:** We know that: [ sum_{i=0}^{p} binom{i}{k} = binom{p+1}{k+1} ] This comes from the hockey-stick identity (also known as the Christmas stocking theorem). 7. **Subtracting the unnecessary part:** To find the sum from i=n to p, we subtract the sum from i=0 to n-1: [ sum_{i=n}^{p} binom{i}{k} = binom{p+1}{k+1} - sum_{i=0}^{n-1} binom{i}{k} ] 8. **Final simplification:** The sum from i=0 to n-1 is exactly binom{n}{k+1}: [ sum_{i=0}^{n-1} binom{i}{k} = binom{n}{k+1} ] 9. **Conclusion:** Therefore, we conclude that: [ sum_{i=n}^{p} binom{i}{k} = binom{p+1}{k+1} - binom{n}{k+1} ] Thus, we have shown the desired equality. [ boxed{sum_{j=n}^{p} binom{k}{j} = binom{p+1}{k+1} - binom{n}{k+1}} ]
