2. The quadratic trinomial $x^{2}+u x-v$ has distinct non-zero roots $p$ and $q$, and the quadratic trinomial $x^{2}+p x-q-$ has distinct non-zero roots $u$ and $v$. Find all possible values of $p, q, u$ and $v$.
<think> Okay, so I need to find all possible values of p, q, u, and v given these two quadratic trinomials. Let me start by writing down the information given. First, the quadratic trinomial is x² + ux - v, and it has distinct non-zero roots p and q. From Vieta's formulas, I know that the sum of the roots is equal to ...

13.137. Three machines from different systems perform a certain counting task. If the entire task is assigned to only the second or the first machine, then the second machine alone will take 2 minutes longer to complete the entire task than the first machine. The third machine can complete the entire task in a time twi...
<think> Okay, so we've got this problem about three machines working on a task. Let me try to parse it step by step. First, the problem says that if the entire task is assigned to only the second or the first machine, then the second machine alone takes 2 minutes longer than the first. So, let me note that down. Let'...

13. Define $n!=1 \times 2 \times \ldots \times n$, for example, $5!=1 \times 2 \times 3 \times 4 \times 5$. If $\frac{n!\times(n+1)!}{2}$ (where $\mathbf{n}$ is a positive integer, and $1 \leq n \leq 100$) is a perfect square, for example, when $n=7$, $\frac{n!\times(n+1)!}{2}=\frac{7 \times (7+1)!}{2}=\frac{7 \times 8...
<think> Okay, so the problem is asking for all positive integers n between 1 and 100 inclusive such that (n! × (n+1)! ) / 2 is a perfect square. Then we need to sum all such n. The example given is n=7, and they showed that it simplifies to (7!)^2 × 4, which is a perfect square. Alright, so first, I need to understand ...

A father and his son are skating around a circular skating rink. From time to time, the father overtakes the son. After the son starts skating in the opposite direction, they begin to meet five times more often. What is the ratio of the skating speeds of the father and the son? (Tairova)
<think> Okay, so there's this problem about a father and son skating around a circular rink. Initially, they're both going in the same direction, and the father overtakes the son every so often. Then, the son starts skating in the opposite direction, and now they meet five times more often. We need to find the ratio of...

A7. Two 2-digit multiples of 7 have a product of 7007 . What is their sum?
<think> Okay, so the problem is: Two 2-digit multiples of 7 have a product of 7007. What is their sum? Hmm, let me start by understanding the problem. We need to find two numbers, each of which is a two-digit multiple of 7, and when you multiply them together, the result is 7007. Then, we need to find the sum of these...

[ Quadrilaterals (extreme properties).] Among all parallelograms of a given area, find the one for which the largest diagonal is minimal.
<think> Okay, so I have this problem: Among all parallelograms of a given area, find the one for which the largest diagonal is minimal. Hmm. Let me try to figure this out step by step. First, let's recall some properties of parallelograms. A parallelogram has opposite sides equal and parallel, and the diagonals bisec...
