38. In a tournament where each pair of teams played each other twice, 4 teams participated. For each win, two points were awarded, for a draw - one, and for a loss - 0. The team that finished in last place scored 5 points. How many points did the team that finished in first place score?
<think> Alright, let me try to figure out this problem. So, there are 4 teams in a tournament, and each pair plays each other twice. That means each team plays 6 matches, right? Because there are 3 other teams, and they play each of them twice. So, 3 opponents times 2 games each equals 6 matches per team. Now, for eac...

(12 points) Given vectors $\boldsymbol{m}=(\sin A, \cos A)$, $\boldsymbol{n}=(\cos B, \sin B)$, $\boldsymbol{m} \cdot \boldsymbol{n}=\sin 2 C$, and $\angle A$, $\angle B$, $\angle C$ are the angles opposite to sides $a$, $b$, $c$ of $\triangle ABC$ respectively. (1) Find the size of $\angle C$; (2) If $\sin A$, $\s...
<think> Okay, so I have this problem here with vectors and trigonometry related to a triangle. Let's take it step by step. First, part (1) asks to find the size of angle C. The given information is vectors m = (sin A, cos A) and n = (cos B, sin B), and their dot product m · n equals sin 2C. Also, angles A, B, C are th...

A circle $\omega$ and a point $P$ not lying on it are given. Let $ABC$ be an arbitrary equilateral triangle inscribed into $\omega$ and $A', B', C'$ be the projections of $P$ to $BC, CA, AB$. Find the locus of centroids of triangles $A' B'C'$.
<think> Okay, so there's this problem about a circle ω and a point P not on it. Then, for any equilateral triangle ABC inscribed in ω, we need to find the locus of the centroids of triangles A'B'C', where A', B', C' are the projections (orthogonal projections, I assume) of P onto the sides BC, CA, AB respectively. Hmm,...

1. Solve the equation $x^{\log _{5}(0.008 x)}=\frac{125}{x^{5}}$.
<think> Alright, so I have this equation to solve: \( x^{\log _{5}(0.008 x)} = \frac{125}{x^{5}} \). Hmm, looks a bit intimidating at first glance, but let's take it step by step. First, I need to recall some logarithmic and exponential properties. Maybe taking logarithms on both sides could simplify things? That usu...

2. Given real numbers $a, b, x, y$ satisfy the system of equations: $$ \left\{\begin{array}{l} a x+b y=3, \\ a x^{2}+b y^{2}=7, \\ a x^{3}+b y^{3}=16, \\ a x^{4}+b y^{4}=42 . \end{array}\right. $$ Find the value of $a x^{5}+b y^{5}$.
<think> Okay, so I need to find the value of \( a x^5 + b y^5 \) given the system of equations: \[ \begin{cases} a x + b y = 3, \\ a x^2 + b y^2 = 7, \\ a x^3 + b y^3 = 16, \\ a x^4 + b y^4 = 42. \end{cases} \] Hmm, this seems like a sequence where each term is built from the previous ones. Maybe there's a recurrence...

1. Which whole numbers from 1 to 80000 (inclusive) are there more of, and by how many: those containing only even digits or those containing only odd digits?
<think> Okay, so I need to figure out whether there are more numbers from 1 to 80,000 that have only even digits or only odd digits, and by how much. Hmm, let's start by understanding the problem. First, the numbers range from 1 to 80,000 inclusive. That's 80,000 numbers. But we have to consider two categories: number...

4. From the numbers $1,2,3,4,5$, select several (at least 2) without repetition and find their sum, the number of different sums that can be obtained is ( ) . (A) 26 (B) 17 (C) 13 (D) 12
<think> Okay, let's see. I need to figure out how many different sums can be obtained by selecting several numbers from 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, with at least 2 numbers each time and no repetition. The options are given, so maybe after calculating I can check which one it matches. Hmm, let's start step by step. First, the numbe...

[ Properties of medians. The centroid of a triangle. ] [ The ratio of the areas of triangles with a common angle ] Given triangle $A B C$, the area of which is 2. On the medians $A K, B L$ and $C N$ of triangle $A B C$, points $P, Q$ and $R$ are taken respectively such that $A P: P K=1, B Q: Q L=1: 2, C R: R N=5: 4$. ...
<think> Okay, let's see. The problem is about finding the area of triangle PQR, where P, Q, R are points on the medians of triangle ABC. The original triangle ABC has an area of 2. The ratios given are AP:PK = 1:1, BQ:QL = 1:2, and CR:RN = 5:4. Hmm, medians and centroids... I remember that the centroid divides each med...

1. Let $\triangle A B C$ have interior angles $\angle A, \angle B, \angle C$ with opposite sides of lengths $a, b, c$ respectively. If $c=1$, and the area of $\triangle A B C$ is equal to $\frac{a^{2}+b^{2}-1}{4}$, then the maximum value of the area of $\triangle A B C$ is $\qquad$
<think> Okay, so I have this problem here about triangle ABC. Let me read it again. It says that in triangle ABC, the sides opposite angles A, B, C are a, b, c respectively. Given that c = 1, and the area of the triangle is equal to (a² + b² - 1)/4. I need to find the maximum value of the area. Hmm, interesting. Let me...
