question:There are 25 students participating in an afterschool program offering classes in music, art, and drama. Each student must take at least one of these classes. There are 15 students taking music, 14 taking art, and 13 taking drama. There are 11 students taking at least two classes. How many students are taking all three classes? textbf{(A)} 2qquadtextbf{(B)} 3qquadtextbf{(C)} 4qquadtextbf{(D)} 5qquadtextbf{(E)} 6

answer:Let's define the variables for the Venn Diagram: - a: Number of students taking exactly Music and Art. - b: Number of students taking exactly Music and Drama. - c: Number of students taking all three classes (Music, Art, and Drama). - d: Number of students taking exactly Art and Drama. We are given: - Total students taking at least two classes: 11. - Total students taking Music: 15. - Total students taking Art: 14. - Total students taking Drama: 13. From the information, we know: [ a + b + c + d = 11 ] Calculating students taking only one class: 1. **Students taking only Music**: [ text{Total Music} - (a + b + c) = 15 - (a + b + c) ] Using a + b + c + d = 11, we find a + b + c = 11 - d. Thus: [ 15 - (11 - d) = 4 + d ] 2. **Students taking only Art**: [ text{Total Art} - (a + c + d) = 14 - (a + c + d) ] Using a + b + c + d = 11, we find a + c + d = 11 - b. Thus: [ 14 - (11 - b) = 3 + b ] 3. **Students taking only Drama**: [ text{Total Drama} - (b + c + d) = 13 - (b + c + d) ] Using a + b + c + d = 11, we find b + c + d = 11 - a. Thus: [ 13 - (11 - a) = 2 + a ] Total students taking exactly one class: [ (4 + d) + (3 + b) + (2 + a) = 15 ] [ 9 + a + b + d = 15 ] Using a + b + c + d = 11, substitute 11 - c for a + b + d: [ 9 + (11 - c) = 15 ] [ 20 - c = 15 ] [ c = 5 ] Thus, the number of students taking all three classes is 5. The final answer is boxed{textbf{(D)} 5}

question:Express fourteen in base 2.

answer:We need to express the decimal number 14 as a sum of powers of 2. The powers of 2 that sum up to 14 are: - 2^3 = 8 - 2^2 = 4 - 2^1 = 2 - 2^0 = 0 (not needed here since we don't need the unit place to make 14) Thus, 14 = 1cdot 2^3 + 1cdot 2^2 + 1cdot 2^1 + 0cdot 2^0. Hence, the binary representation of fourteen is: 14 = boxed{1110_2}

question:Billy ate 20 apples this week. On Monday, he ate 2 apples. On Tuesday, he ate twice as many as he ate the day before. On Thursday, he ate four times as many as he ate on Friday. On Friday, he ate half of the amount he ate on Monday. How many apples did he eat on Wednesday?

answer:Let's break it down by the days we know: - Monday: Billy ate 2 apples. - Tuesday: He ate twice as many as Monday, so 2 * 2 = 4 apples. - Friday: He ate half of what he ate on Monday, so 2 / 2 = 1 apple. - Thursday: He ate four times as many as Friday, so 1 * 4 = 4 apples. Now let's add up what we know so far: Monday + Tuesday + Thursday + Friday = 2 + 4 + 4 + 1 = 11 apples. Billy ate 20 apples in total this week, so to find out how many he ate on Wednesday, we subtract the apples eaten on the other days from the total: 20 - 11 = 9 apples. So, Billy ate boxed{9} apples on Wednesday.

question:Given the function f(x)=ln x+ax+frac{a+1}{x}+3 where ainmathbb{R}: (1) When a=1, find the equation of the tangent line to the curve y=f(x) at the point (2,f(2)); (2) When a > frac{1}{2}, discuss the monotonicity of f(x).

answer:(1) When a=1, the function becomes f(x)=ln x+x+frac{2}{x}+3. The derivative of the function is f'(x)=frac{1}{x}+1-frac{2}{x^2}. Therefore, f'(2)=1 and f(2)=ln 2+6. The equation of the tangent line is: y-(ln 2+6)=1(x-2), which simplifies to boxed{x-y+ln 2+4=0}. (2) The derivative of the function is f'(x)=frac{1}{x}+a-frac{1+a}{x^2}=frac{(ax+a+1)(x-1)}{x^2}. When a=0, f'(x)=frac{x-1}{x^2}. In this case, f(x) is decreasing on (0,1) and increasing on (1,+infty). When aneq 0, solving f'(x)=0 gives x_1=1 and x_2=-1-frac{1}{a}. bullet If -frac{1}{2} < a < 0, then -1-frac{1}{a} > 1. In this case, f(x) is decreasing on (0,1) and (-1-frac{1}{a},+infty), and increasing on (1,-1-frac{1}{a}). bullet If a > 0, then -1-frac{1}{a} < 0. In this case, f(x) is decreasing on (0,1) and increasing on (1,+infty). In summary: bullet When -frac{1}{2} < a < 0, f(x) is decreasing on (0,1) and (-1-frac{1}{a},+infty), and increasing on (1,-1-frac{1}{a}). bullet When ageqslant 0, f(x) is decreasing on (0,1) and increasing on (1,+infty).
