Point $G$ is on segment $\overline{EF}$ so that $\overline{EF}$ is perpendicular to segment $\overline{GD}$. The length of segment $\overline{BG}$ can be written as $m\sqrt{n}$ where $m$ and $n$ are positive integers, and $n$ is not divisible by the square of any prime. Find $m+n$.

Show that a polynomial of odd degree $2m+1$ over $\mathbb{Z}$, \[f(x)=c_{2m+1}x^{2m+1}+\cdots+c_{1}x+c_{0},\] is irreducible if there exists a prime $p$ such that \[p \not\vert c_{2m+1}, p \vert c_{m+1}, c_{m+2}, \cdots, c_{2m}, p^{2}\vert c_{0}, c_{1}, \cdots, c_{m}, \; \text{and}\; p^{3}\not\vert c_{0}.\]
Let $P$ be a point chosen uniformly at random in the interior of the unit square with vertices at $(0,0), (1,0), (1,1)$, and $(0,1)$. The probability that the slope of the line determined by $P$ and the point $\left(\frac58, \frac38 \right)$ is greater than $\frac12$ can be written as $\frac{m}{n}$, where $m$ and $n$ are relatively prime positive integers. Find $m+n$.
Find the positive value of $ a$ such that the curve $ C_1: x \equal{} \sqrt {2y^2 \plus{} \frac {25}{2}}$ tangent to the parabola $ C_2: y \equal{} ax^2$, then find the equation of the tangent line of $ C_1$ at the point of tangency.
A certain function $f$ has the properties that $f(3x)=3f(x)$ for all positive real values of $x$, and that $f(x)=1-\mid x-2 \mid$ for $1\leq x \leq 3$. Find the smallest $x$ for which $f(x)=f(2001)$.
The function $f(x)$ is defined for all $x\ge 0$ and is always nonnegative. It has the additional property that if any line is drawn from the origin with any positive slope $m$, it intersects the graph $y=f(x)$ at precisely one point, which is $\frac{1}{\sqrt{m}}$ units from the origin. Let $a$ be the unique real number for which $f$ takes on its maximum value at $x=a$ (you may assume that such an $a$ exists). Find $\int_{0}^{a}f(x) \, dx$.
A tortoise challenges a hare to a race. The hare eagerly agrees and quickly runs ahead, leaving the slow-moving tortoise behind. Confident that he will win, the hare stops to take a nap. Meanwhile, the tortoise walks at a slow steady pace for the entire race. The hare awakes and runs to the finish line, only to find the tortoise already there. Which of the following graphs matches the description of the race, showing the distance $d$ traveled by the two animals over time $t$ from start to finish?$\phantom{h}$
