Let $\mathcal E$ be an ellipse with foci $F_1$ and $F_2$. Parabola $\mathcal P$, having vertex $F_1$ and focus $F_2$, intersects $\mathcal E$ at two points $X$ and $Y$. Suppose the tangents to $\mathcal E$ at $X$ and $Y$ intersect on the directrix of $\mathcal P$. Compute the eccentricity of $\mathcal E$. (A [i]parabola[/i] $\mathcal P$ is the set of points which are equidistant from a point, called the [i]focus[/i] of $\mathcal P$, and a line, called the [i]directrix[/i] of $\mathcal P$. An [i]ellipse[/i] $\mathcal E$ is the set of points $P$ such that the sum $PF_1 + PF_2$ is some constant $d$, where $F_1$ and $F_2$ are the [i]foci[/i] of $\mathcal E$. The [i]eccentricity[/i] of $\mathcal E$ is defined to be the ratio $F_1F_2/d$.)

[b]p1.[/b] An Egyptian fraction has the form $1/n$, where $n$ is a positive integer. In ancient Egypt, these were the only fractions allowed. Other fractions between zero and one were always expressed as a sum of distinct Egyptian fractions. For example, $3/5$ was seen as $1/2 + 1/10$, or $1/3 + 1/4 + 1/60$. The preferred method of representing a fraction in Egypt used the "greedy" algorithm, which at each stage, uses the Egyptian fraction that eats up as much as possible of what is left of the original fraction. Thus the greedy fraction for $3/5$ would be $1/2 + 1/10$. a) Find the greedy Egyptian fraction representations for $2/13$. b) Find the greedy Egyptian fraction representations for $9/10$. c) Find the greedy Egyptian fraction representations for $2/(2k+1)$, where $k$ is a positive integer. d) Find the greedy Egyptian fraction representations for $3/(6k+1)$, where $k$ is a positive integer.

[b]p5.[/b] We wish to consider a general deck of cards specified by a number of suits, a sequence of denominations, and a number (possibly $0$) of jokers. The deck will consist of exactly one card of each denomination from each suit, plus the jokers, which are "wild" and can be counted as any possible card of any suit. For example, a standard deck of cards consists of $4$ suits, $13$ denominations, and $0$ jokers. a) For a deck with $3$ suits $\{a, b, c\}$ and $7$ denominations $\{1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7\}$, and $0$ jokers, find the probability that a 3-card hand will be a straight. (A straight consists of $3$ cards in sequence, e.g., $1 \heartsuit$ ,$2 \spadesuit$ , $3\clubsuit$ , $2\diamondsuit$ but not $6 \heartsuit$ ,$7 \spadesuit$ , $1\diamondsuit$). b) For a deck with $3$ suits, $7$ denominations, and $0$ jokers, find the probability that a $3$-card hand will consist of $3$ cards of the same suit (i.e., a flush). c) For a deck with $3$ suits, $7$ denominations, and $1$ joker, find the probability that a $3$-card hand dealt at random will be a straight and also the probability that a $3$-card hand will be a flush. d) Find a number of suits and the length of the denomination sequence that would be required if a deck is to contain $1$ joker and is to have identical probabilities for a straight and a flush when a $3$-card hand is dealt. The answer that you find must be an answer such that a flush and a straight are possible but not certain to occur. PS. You should use hide for answers.
