🧠:[<think>Okay, so let's see. The problem says that in summer, a frog can catch about 145 pests per day. Then it mentions that the number of pests a swallow can eliminate in a day is 12 times that of a frog. The question is asking how many pests a swallow can eliminate per day.Hmm, alright. Let me break this down. First, the frog catches 145 pests each day. The swallow's capacity is 12 times that number. So, to find out how many pests the swallow can eliminate, I need to multiply the frog's number by 12.Let me write that out. If the frog catches 145 pests daily, then the swallow eliminates 12 times 145. So, mathematically, that would be 12 × 145. Let me calculate that. Wait, how do I compute 12 multiplied by 145? Maybe breaking it down into smaller parts would be easier. Let's split 145 into 100 + 40 + 5. Then, multiply each part by 12 and add them together.First, 12 × 100 = 1200. That's straightforward. Next, 12 × 40. Hmm, 12 × 4 is 48, so 12 × 40 must be 480. Then, 12 × 5 is 60. Now, adding those three results: 1200 + 480 = 1680, and then 1680 + 60 = 1740. So, 12 × 145 is 1740.Wait a second, let me check that again to make sure I didn't make a mistake. Let's do another method. 145 × 12. Multiply 145 by 10 first, which is 1450, and then add 145 × 2, which is 290. So, 1450 + 290. Let's add those: 1450 + 200 = 1650, then +90 = 1740. Yeah, same result. So that checks out.Alternatively, maybe using the standard multiplication algorithm. Let's line it up: 145× 12-------First, multiply 145 by 2: 145 × 2 = 290. Then, multiply 145 by 10: 145 × 10 = 1450. Then add them together: 290 + 1450 = 1740. Yep, same answer.So, regardless of the method I use, the result is 1740. Therefore, a swallow can eliminate 1740 pests per day.I think that's correct. Let me just verify once more. 12 times 100 is 1200, 12 times 40 is 480, 12 times 5 is 60. All together, 1200 + 480 + 60. 1200 + 480 is 1680, then 1680 + 60 is 1740. Yep, that's consistent. Alternatively, thinking about 145 × 12. 145 is 100 + 40 + 5. So 100 × 12 = 1200, 40 × 12 = 480, 5 × 12 = 60. Add them up. Correct.Alternatively, maybe using distributive property: 12 × (140 + 5) = 12 × 140 + 12 × 5. 12 × 140 is 12 × 14 × 10. 14 × 12 is 168, so 168 × 10 = 1680. Then 12 × 5 is 60. 1680 + 60 = 1740. Same answer again.Alright, all the different methods of breaking down the multiplication give me the same result. So I feel confident that the answer is 1740.Final AnswerThe swallow can eliminate boxed{1740} pests per day.</think>The problem states that a frog can catch 145 pests per day, and a swallow can eliminate 12 times that number. To find the number of pests a swallow can eliminate per day, we need to calculate 12 multiplied by 145.First, we break down the multiplication:- ( 12 times 145 )We can split 145 into 100, 40, and 5:- ( 12 times 100 = 1200 )- ( 12 times 40 = 480 )- ( 12 times 5 = 60 )Adding these results together:- ( 1200 + 480 + 60 = 1740 )We can verify this using another method:- ( 145 times 12 )- Multiply 145 by 10: ( 145 times 10 = 1450 )- Multiply 145 by 2: ( 145 times 2 = 290 )- Add the results: ( 1450 + 290 = 1740 )Both methods confirm that the result is 1740. Therefore, the number of pests a swallow can eliminate per day is (boxed{1740}).,<think>Okay, let's see. The problem says that in summer, a frog can catch about 145 pests per day. Then it mentions that the number of pests a swallow can eliminate in a day is 12 times that of a frog. So the question is asking how many pests a swallow can eliminate per day.Hmm, right. So first, the frog catches 145 pests each day. The swallow's number is 12 times that. So I need to multiply 145 by 12 to get the swallow's number. Let me write that down.145 pests/day (frog) times 12 equals the swallow's pests per day. Let me do the multiplication step by step. Maybe breaking it down into smaller parts would help. 145 times 12 is the same as 145 times 10 plus 145 times 2. Because 10 plus 2 is 12. That might be easier to calculate without making a mistake.So first, 145 times 10. That's straightforward. 145 times 10 is 1450. Then, 145 times 2. Let's see, 100 times 2 is 200, 40 times 2 is 80, and 5 times 2 is 10. Adding those together: 200 + 80 is 280, plus 10 is 290. So 145 times 2 is 290.Now, add the two results together: 1450 plus 290. Let me add those. 1450 + 200 is 1650, then adding the remaining 90 gives 1740. So 1450 + 290 equals 1740.Therefore, the swallow can eliminate 1740 pests per day. Let me double-check that multiplication to be sure. Maybe another way: 12 times 100 is 1200, 12 times 40 is 480, and 12 times 5 is 60. Adding those up: 1200 + 480 is 1680, plus 60 is 1740. Yep, same result. So that seems correct.Alternatively, using standard multiplication: 145x 12------ 290 (145 x 2)+1450 (145 x 10)------ 1740Yes, that adds up. So the swallow eliminates 1740 pests each day. I think that's the right answer. No steps seem skipped or miscalculated here. The key was understanding that "12 times that of a frog" means multiplying the frog's 145 by 12. Breaking it down into 10 and 2 made the multiplication easier without a calculator. Then verifying with another method to ensure accuracy. Both methods gave the same result, so I feel confident that 1740 is the correct number.</think>The swallow can eliminate 12 times the number of pests a frog catches. Since the frog catches 145 pests per day, we calculate:[145 times 12 = 1740]Breaking it down:- (145 times 10 = 1450)- (145 times 2 = 290)- Adding these together: (1450 + 290 = 1740)Verifying with another method:- (12 times 100 = 1200)- (12 times 40 = 480)- (12 times 5 = 60)- Adding these: (1200 + 480 + 60 = 1740)Both methods confirm the answer. The swallow can eliminate boxed{1740} pests per day.]

🔑:Solution: 145 times 12 = 1740 (pests). Answer: A swallow can eliminate 1740 pests per day. Therefore, the answer is: boxed{1740}. In summer, a frog can catch about 145 pests per day, and the number of pests a swallow can eliminate in a day is 12 times that of a frog, which is 12 times 145, i.e., 145 times 12. To find how many times more one number is than another, multiply the number by the multiplier.

🧠:[<think>Okay, so I need to find the range of values for the derivative f'(1) given the function f(x) which depends on θ, where θ is between 0 and 5π/12. The options are given as A to D, so I need to compute f'(1) in terms of θ and then find its minimum and maximum values over the interval θ ∈ [0, 5π/12]. Then see which interval among the options matches.First, let me recall how to compute the derivative of a function. Since f(x) is a polynomial in x with coefficients depending on θ, the derivative f'(x) would be the derivative term by term.The given function is f(x) = (sinθ/3)x³ + (√3 cosθ/2)x² + tanθ. Let me write that more clearly:f(x) = ( (sinθ)/3 ) x³ + ( (√3 cosθ)/2 ) x² + tanθ.So, to find f'(x), I need to differentiate each term with respect to x.The derivative of the first term, (sinθ/3)x³, with respect to x is 3*(sinθ/3)x² = sinθ x².The derivative of the second term, (√3 cosθ/2)x², with respect to x is 2*(√3 cosθ/2)x = √3 cosθ x.The derivative of the third term, tanθ, with respect to x is 0, since tanθ is a constant with respect to x.Therefore, putting it all together, the derivative f'(x) is:f'(x) = sinθ * x² + √3 cosθ * x.But the problem asks for f'(1), so substitute x = 1 into the derivative:f'(1) = sinθ * (1)² + √3 cosθ * 1 = sinθ + √3 cosθ.So, f'(1) simplifies to sinθ + √3 cosθ. Now, I need to find the range of this expression as θ varies from 0 to 5π/12.Hmm, okay. So, the problem reduces to finding the maximum and minimum values of the function g(θ) = sinθ + √3 cosθ over θ ∈ [0, 5π/12]. Then, the range of f'(1) will be from the minimum to the maximum of g(θ).How can I find the extrema of this trigonometric function? Well, one standard method is to write it as a single sine or cosine function using the amplitude-phase form. Let me recall that a sinθ + b cosθ can be written as R sin(θ + φ) or R cos(θ + φ), where R = √(a² + b²) and φ is the phase shift.So, let's compute R first. Here, a = 1 (coefficient of sinθ) and b = √3 (coefficient of cosθ). Therefore, R = √(1² + (√3)^2) = √(1 + 3) = √4 = 2. So, R = 2.Therefore, g(θ) = 2 sin(θ + φ), where φ is such that:sinφ = b/R = √3 / 2, and cosφ = a/R = 1/2.Wait, no, actually, the standard formula is:a sinθ + b cosθ = R sin(θ + φ), where:R = √(a² + b²),sinφ = b/R,cosφ = a/R.Wait, no, actually, let me check again.Wait, perhaps it's better to write it as:a sinθ + b cosθ = R sin(θ + φ).Expanding R sin(θ + φ) = R sinθ cosφ + R cosθ sinφ.Comparing coefficients:a = R cosφ,b = R sinφ.Therefore, from this, R = √(a² + b²) as before.Then, tanφ = b/a. So, here, a = 1, b = √3, so tanφ = √3 / 1 = √3. Therefore, φ = π/3 (since tan(π/3) = √3).Therefore, we can write g(θ) = sinθ + √3 cosθ = 2 sin(θ + π/3).Let me verify that:2 sin(θ + π/3) = 2 [ sinθ cos(π/3) + cosθ sin(π/3) ] = 2 [ sinθ*(1/2) + cosθ*(√3/2) ] = sinθ + √3 cosθ. Yes, that works.So, g(θ) = 2 sin(θ + π/3). Therefore, the maximum value of g(θ) is 2 (since the maximum of sine is 1), and the minimum value is -2. However, θ is restricted to [0, 5π/12], so we need to see how θ + π/3 ranges.θ ∈ [0, 5π/12], so θ + π/3 ∈ [π/3, 5π/12 + π/3]. Let's compute 5π/12 + π/3.π/3 is 4π/12, so 5π/12 + 4π/12 = 9π/12 = 3π/4. Therefore, θ + π/3 ∈ [π/3, 3π/4]. So, the argument of the sine function is between π/3 and 3π/4.We need to find the maximum and minimum of 2 sin(φ) where φ ∈ [π/3, 3π/4].First, let's recall the behavior of sinφ in this interval. The sine function increases from π/3 to π/2, reaching a maximum at π/2, and then decreases from π/2 to 3π/4.Therefore, the maximum value of sinφ in [π/3, 3π/4] is sin(π/2) = 1, and the minimum value is the smaller of sin(π/3) and sin(3π/4). Let's compute both:sin(π/3) = √3/2 ≈ 0.866,sin(3π/4) = √2/2 ≈ 0.707.Therefore, the minimum is sin(3π/4) = √2/2, and the maximum is 1.Therefore, the range of 2 sinφ over φ ∈ [π/3, 3π/4] is [2*(√2/2), 2*1] = [√2, 2].Therefore, the range of f'(1) is [√2, 2], which corresponds to option D.Wait, but let me double-check. So θ ∈ [0, 5π/12], which translates to φ = θ + π/3 ∈ [π/3, 3π/4]. Then sinφ reaches maximum at π/2 (which is within the interval [π/3, 3π/4], since π/3 ≈1.047 and 3π/4≈2.356, and π/2≈1.570 is in between). So sinφ here starts at sin(π/3) = √3/2, increases to 1 at π/2, then decreases to sin(3π/4) = √2/2.Therefore, the maximum of sinφ is 1, and the minimum is √2/2. Therefore, multiplying by 2, the range is [√2, 2]. So the answer should be D.But let me check if this is correct. Alternatively, maybe compute the derivative of g(θ) and find critical points.Wait, another approach: since g(θ) = sinθ + √3 cosθ, we can compute its derivative with respect to θ:g'(θ) = cosθ - √3 sinθ.Set derivative to zero for critical points:cosθ - √3 sinθ = 0cosθ = √3 sinθDivide both sides by cosθ (assuming cosθ ≠ 0):1 = √3 tanθtanθ = 1/√3θ = π/6 (since tan(π/6) = 1/√3).But π/6 is 30 degrees, which is π/6 ≈0.523 radians. The interval for θ is [0, 5π/12], which is approximately [0, 1.308]. Since π/6 ≈0.523 is within [0, 5π/12], so there is a critical point at θ = π/6.Therefore, to find the extrema of g(θ) over [0, 5π/12], we evaluate g(θ) at θ = 0, θ = π/6, and θ =5π/12.Compute g(0):g(0) = sin0 + √3 cos0 = 0 + √3*1 = √3 ≈1.732.Compute g(π/6):g(π/6) = sin(π/6) + √3 cos(π/6) = 1/2 + √3*(√3/2) = 1/2 + (3/2) = 2.Compute g(5π/12):First, 5π/12 is 75 degrees. Let's compute sin(5π/12) and cos(5π/12):sin(5π/12) = sin(75°) = sin(45° + 30°) = sin45 cos30 + cos45 sin30 = (√2/2)(√3/2) + (√2/2)(1/2) = √6/4 + √2/4 = (√6 + √2)/4 ≈ (2.449 + 1.414)/4 ≈3.863/4≈0.966.cos(5π/12) = cos(75°) = cos(45° + 30°) = cos45 cos30 - sin45 sin30 = (√2/2)(√3/2) - (√2/2)(1/2) = √6/4 - √2/4 = (√6 - √2)/4 ≈(2.449 -1.414)/4≈1.035/4≈0.259.Therefore, g(5π/12) = sin(5π/12) + √3 cos(5π/12) ≈0.966 + √3*0.259≈0.966 + 0.448≈1.414.But 1.414 is approximately √2 ≈1.414. Therefore, g(5π/12) ≈√2.Therefore, evaluating g(θ) at the endpoints and critical point:At θ=0: √3 ≈1.732At θ=π/6: 2At θ=5π/12: ≈√2 ≈1.414Therefore, the maximum value is 2 at θ=π/6, and the minimum value is √2 at θ=5π/12. Therefore, the range of f'(1) is [√2, 2], which is option D.Therefore, the correct answer is D.Final Answerboxed{D}</think>To find the range of values for the derivative ( f'(1) ) given the function ( f(x) = frac{sin theta}{3}x^3 + frac{sqrt{3} cos theta}{2}x^2 + tan theta ), we first compute the derivative ( f'(x) ).The derivative of ( f(x) ) is:[f'(x) = sin theta cdot x^2 + sqrt{3} cos theta cdot x]Substituting ( x = 1 ) into the derivative, we get:[f'(1) = sin theta cdot 1^2 + sqrt{3} cos theta cdot 1 = sin theta + sqrt{3} cos theta]Next, we need to find the range of ( sin theta + sqrt{3} cos theta ) for ( theta in left[ 0, frac{5pi}{12} right] ). We can rewrite this expression using the amplitude-phase form:[sin theta + sqrt{3} cos theta = 2 sin left( theta + frac{pi}{3} right)]The interval for ( theta ) translates to ( theta + frac{pi}{3} in left[ frac{pi}{3}, frac{3pi}{4} right] ). The sine function reaches its maximum value of 1 at ( frac{pi}{2} ) and its minimum value of ( frac{sqrt{2}}{2} ) at ( frac{3pi}{4} ) within this interval. Thus, the range of ( 2 sin left( theta + frac{pi}{3} right) ) is:[left[ 2 cdot frac{sqrt{2}}{2}, 2 cdot 1 right] = left[ sqrt{2}, 2 right]]Therefore, the range of values for ( f'(1) ) is (boxed{D}).,<think>Okay, so I have this problem here where I need to find the range of values for the derivative f’(1) of a given function f(x). The function is defined as f(x) = (sinθ/3)x³ + (√3 cosθ/2)x² + tanθ, where θ is between 0 and 5π/12. The options are given as intervals, so I need to compute f’(1) in terms of θ and then find its minimum and maximum values over the interval θ ∈ [0, 5π/12]. Then, see which of the options matches that interval.First, let me recall that the derivative of a function at a point gives the slope of the tangent line at that point. To find f’(1), I need to compute the derivative of f(x) with respect to x and then evaluate it at x = 1.Let me start by finding f’(x). The function f(x) is a combination of terms involving x³, x², and a constant term (tanθ). The derivative of x³ is 3x², so when we take the derivative of (sinθ/3)x³, the 3 in the denominator and the 3 from the exponent's derivative will cancel out, leaving sinθ * x². Similarly, the derivative of (√3 cosθ/2)x² is √3 cosθ/2 * 2x, which simplifies to √3 cosθ * x. The derivative of the constant term tanθ is zero. So putting that all together:f’(x) = sinθ * x² + √3 cosθ * xNow, evaluate this at x = 1:f’(1) = sinθ * (1)² + √3 cosθ * 1 = sinθ + √3 cosθSo, the derivative at x = 1 simplifies to sinθ + √3 cosθ. Now, my task is to find the range of this expression as θ varies from 0 to 5π/12.Hmm, okay. So, this is now a trigonometric function in θ. To find its range over a specific interval, maybe I can express it as a single sine or cosine function using a trigonometric identity. The expression sinθ + √3 cosθ resembles the form A sinθ + B cosθ, which can be rewritten as C sin(θ + φ) or C cos(θ - φ), where C is the amplitude and φ is the phase shift.Let me recall that for A sinθ + B cosθ, the amplitude is √(A² + B²), and the phase shift φ is given by tanφ = B/A or something like that. Let me confirm:Yes, A sinθ + B cosθ = C sin(θ + φ), where C = √(A² + B²) and φ = arctan(B/A). Wait, actually, maybe it's better to use the formula:A sinθ + B cosθ = C sin(θ + φ), where C = √(A² + B²), and φ is the angle such that cosφ = A/C and sinφ = B/C.Alternatively, sometimes it's written as:A sinθ + B cosθ = C cos(θ - α), where C = √(A² + B²) and α = arctan(A/B). Let me check.Alternatively, maybe I should use the formula for addition of angles. Let me see.Suppose I write sinθ + √3 cosθ. Let me factor out the amplitude. The coefficients are 1 for sinθ and √3 for cosθ. So, the amplitude C is √(1² + (√3)²) = √(1 + 3) = √4 = 2.Therefore, sinθ + √3 cosθ = 2*( (1/2) sinθ + (√3/2) cosθ )Now, notice that (1/2) is cos(π/3) and (√3/2) is sin(π/3). Therefore, this expression can be written as 2*( cos(π/3) sinθ + sin(π/3) cosθ ) = 2*sin(θ + π/3) using the sine addition formula: sin(a + b) = sin a cos b + cos a sin b.Wait, actually, hold on. Let's verify:cos(π/3) sinθ + sin(π/3) cosθ = sinθ cos(π/3) + cosθ sin(π/3) = sin(θ + π/3). Yes, that's correct.Therefore, sinθ + √3 cosθ = 2 sin(θ + π/3)So, f’(1) = 2 sin(θ + π/3)Therefore, the expression simplifies to 2 sin(θ + π/3). Now, to find the range of f’(1) over θ ∈ [0, 5π/12], we need to find the range of 2 sin(θ + π/3) as θ varies from 0 to 5π/12.First, let's determine the interval that θ + π/3 covers. Since θ is in [0, 5π/12], adding π/3 (which is 4π/12) gives θ + π/3 ∈ [π/3, 5π/12 + 4π/12] = [π/3, 9π/12] = [π/3, 3π/4].So, θ + π/3 ranges from π/3 to 3π/4. Therefore, we need to find the range of sin(φ) where φ ∈ [π/3, 3π/4], and then multiply by 2.The sine function is increasing from 0 to π/2 and decreasing from π/2 to π. The interval [π/3, 3π/4] spans from 60 degrees to 135 degrees. So, π/3 is 60 degrees, π/2 is 90 degrees, and 3π/4 is 135 degrees.Therefore, the maximum value of sin(φ) in this interval occurs at φ = π/2 (which is 1), and the minimum occurs at the endpoints φ = π/3 and φ = 3π/4.Wait, let's verify:sin(π/3) = √3/2 ≈ 0.866sin(π/2) = 1sin(3π/4) = √2/2 ≈ 0.707Therefore, the maximum value is 1, and the minimum is √2/2. But wait, sin(π/3) is √3/2 which is approximately 0.866, which is larger than sin(3π/4)=√2/2≈0.707. So actually, the minimum is sin(3π/4)=√2/2, and the maximum is sin(π/2)=1. So the range of sin(φ) over [π/3, 3π/4] is [√2/2, 1].Therefore, multiplying by 2, the range of f’(1) is [2*(√2/2), 2*1] = [√2, 2].So, the range is [√2, 2], which corresponds to option D: [√2, 2].Wait, but let me check again. Let me ensure that θ + π/3 does not exceed 3π/4. θ is up to 5π/12. So, 5π/12 + π/3 is 5π/12 + 4π/12 = 9π/12 = 3π/4. Correct.Therefore, θ + π/3 goes from π/3 (when θ=0) to 3π/4 (when θ=5π/12). So, the sine function over this interval reaches maximum at π/2 (which is inside the interval [π/3, 3π/4]) and the minimum at the ends. Wait, but sin(π/3) is √3/2 ≈0.866, and sin(3π/4)=√2/2≈0.707. So the minimum is at 3π/4, and the maximum is at π/2.Therefore, sin(φ) ranges from √2/2 to 1. Therefore, multiplying by 2 gives √2 to 2. So the range of f’(1) is [√2, 2], which is option D.Therefore, the answer should be D.But wait, let me check if θ can actually reach π/2 in the interval [0, 5π/12]. Wait, θ is only up to 5π/12, which is less than π/2 (which is 6π/12). So θ + π/3 ranges up to 5π/12 + 4π/12 = 9π/12 = 3π/4. So, in the interval [π/3, 3π/4], the maximum of sin(φ) is indeed at φ = π/2. Is π/2 within [π/3, 3π/4]?Yes, because π/3 ≈1.047, π/2≈1.570, 3π/4≈2.356. So π/2 is between π/3 and 3π/4, so the maximum is achieved when φ=π/2, which corresponds to θ = π/2 - π/3 = π/6. Is π/6 within the original interval [0, 5π/12]?π/6 is 2π/12, so 0 ≤ 2π/12 ≤ 5π/12. Yes, so θ=π/6 is allowed. Therefore, the maximum value of 2*1=2 is achieved at θ=π/6.The minimum value occurs at the endpoints of θ. Let's check both θ=0 and θ=5π/12.At θ=0:f’(1) = sin0 + √3 cos0 = 0 + √3*1 = √3 ≈1.732Wait, but according to our previous calculation, sin(θ + π/3) at θ=0 is sin(π/3)=√3/2≈0.866, so 2*sin(π/3)=√3≈1.732. Similarly, at θ=5π/12:θ + π/3 = 5π/12 + 4π/12 = 9π/12 = 3π/4. So sin(3π/4)=√2/2≈0.707, so 2*sin(3π/4)=√2≈1.414.But wait, this contradicts my previous conclusion that the minimum is √2. Wait, but sin(θ + π/3) at θ=0 is √3/2, so 2*(√3/2)=√3≈1.732, and at θ=5π/12, it's 2*(√2/2)=√2≈1.414. Therefore, the minimum is √2 and the maximum is √3? Wait, hold on. Wait, but when θ is between 0 and 5π/12, θ + π/3 ranges from π/3 to 3π/4, so sin(θ + π/3) reaches maximum at π/2 (which is in the middle), giving 1, hence 2*1=2. Wait, but earlier, when θ=π/6, θ + π/3 = π/6 + π/3 = π/2, so sin(π/2)=1, so 2*1=2. Therefore, the maximum is 2, the minimum is at θ=5π/12, which gives √2, but at θ=0, it's √3≈1.732, which is larger than √2≈1.414. Therefore, the minimum is √2 and the maximum is 2. However, when θ=0, we have f’(1)=√3≈1.732, which is between √2≈1.414 and 2. So actually, the minimum is √2 and the maximum is 2. Therefore, the range is [√2, 2], which is option D.But hold on, θ=0 gives f’(1)=√3≈1.732, which is greater than √2≈1.414. So the minimum is achieved at θ=5π/12, which is √2, and the maximum at θ=π/6, which is 2. So the range is [√2, 2], which is option D.But wait, the options are:A: [-2,2]B: [√2, √3]C: [√3,2]D: [√2,2]So according to my calculation, the correct answer is D: [√2, 2].But let me verify once more.Given that f’(1) = 2 sin(θ + π/3), and θ ∈ [0, 5π/12], so θ + π/3 ∈ [π/3, 3π/4].The sine of π/3 is √3/2, so 2*(√3/2)=√3.The sine of 3π/4 is √2/2, so 2*(√2/2)=√2.The sine of π/2 is 1, so 2*1=2.Since θ + π/3 varies from π/3 to 3π/4, and the sine function increases up to π/2 and then decreases. Therefore, the maximum value of sin(θ + π/3) is 1 (attained when θ + π/3 = π/2, i.e., θ = π/2 - π/3 = π/6), and the minimum value is sin(3π/4)=√2/2 (attained when θ=5π/12). However, when θ=0, θ + π/3 = π/3, whose sine is √3/2, which gives f’(1)=√3. But √3 ≈1.732, which is greater than √2≈1.414. Therefore, the minimum of f’(1) is √2, and the maximum is 2. However, when θ=0, f’(1) is √3, which is inside the interval [√2, 2]. Therefore, the range is [√2, 2], as the smallest value is √2 and the largest is 2. Hence, the answer is D.Therefore, the correct option is D.Final Answerboxed{D}</think>To find the range of values for the derivative ( f'(1) ) of the function ( f(x) = frac{sin theta}{3}x^3 + frac{sqrt{3} cos theta}{2}x^2 + tan theta ), we first compute the derivative ( f'(x) ):[f'(x) = sin theta cdot x^2 + sqrt{3} cos theta cdot x]Evaluating this at ( x = 1 ):[f'(1) = sin theta cdot 1^2 + sqrt{3} cos theta cdot 1 = sin theta + sqrt{3} cos theta]We can rewrite ( sin theta + sqrt{3} cos theta ) using a trigonometric identity. This expression can be written as ( 2 sin left( theta + frac{pi}{3} right) ), where the amplitude is 2. Next, we determine the interval for ( theta + frac{pi}{3} ) when ( theta in left[ 0, frac{5pi}{12} right] ):[theta + frac{pi}{3} in left[ frac{pi}{3}, frac{5pi}{12} + frac{4pi}{12} right] = left[ frac{pi}{3}, frac{3pi}{4} right]]The sine function ( sin phi ) for ( phi in left[ frac{pi}{3}, frac{3pi}{4} right] ) reaches its maximum value of 1 at ( phi = frac{pi}{2} ) and its minimum value of ( frac{sqrt{2}}{2} ) at ( phi = frac{3pi}{4} ). Therefore, the range of ( 2 sin phi ) is:[left[ 2 cdot frac{sqrt{2}}{2}, 2 cdot 1 right] = left[ sqrt{2}, 2 right]]Thus, the range of values for ( f'(1) ) is (boxed{D}).]

🔑:AnalysisThis problem comprehensively examines the operation of derivatives and the range of values for trigonometric functions. Remembering the formulas is key to solving the problem.First, use the basic derivative formulas to find f′(x), then set x=1 to find the expression for f′(1), thereby transforming it into a problem of finding the range of values for trigonometric functions.SolutionGiven: f'(x)=sin theta cdot x^{2}+ sqrt{3}cos theta cdot x, Therefore, f'(1)=sin theta+ sqrt{3}cos theta=2sin (theta+ frac{pi}{3}). Since thetain[0, frac{5pi}{12}], Therefore, theta+ frac{pi}{3}in[ frac{pi}{3}, frac{3pi}{4}], Therefore, sin (theta+ frac{pi}{3})in[ frac{ sqrt{2}}{2},1], Therefore, 2sin (theta+ frac{pi}{3})in[ sqrt{2},2]. Hence, the correct choice is boxed{text{D}}.

🧠:[<think>Okay, so I need to find all non-negative integers a, b, c, d such that 7^a = 4^b + 5^c + 6^d. Hmm, let's start by understanding what this equation is saying. We have a power of 7 on the left side, and the sum of three different powers: 4, 5, and 6 on the right. Since all variables are non-negative integers, they can be 0, 1, 2, etc. But remember that any number to the power of 0 is 1, so if any of b, c, d are 0, their term becomes 1. Similarly, if a is 0, then 7^0 = 1, but the right side would have to be 1 as well. Let's check that first.Case 1: a = 0. Then the left side is 1. So we need 4^b + 5^c + 6^d = 1. Since all terms are non-negative integers, the only way their sum is 1 is if three of the terms are 0 and one is 1. But 4^b, 5^c, 6^d are all at least 1 when their exponents are at least 0. Wait, no: if b=0, 4^0=1; otherwise, 4^b >=4. Similarly for 5^c and 6^d. Therefore, to get a sum of 1, all except one of the terms would have to be 0, but since any of these terms with exponent 0 is 1, which is already more than 1. For example, if b=0, c=0, d=0, then the right side is 1 + 1 + 1 = 3. So even if all exponents are 0, the sum is 3, which is greater than 1. Therefore, there are no solutions when a=0.So a must be at least 1.Case 2: a >=1. So 7^a is 7, 49, 343, etc. Let's look at small values of a first, since the right side is a sum of three numbers, each of which is at least 1 (if exponents are 0) or more. Let's check a=1: 7^1 =7. So the right side must be 7. Let's see: 4^b +5^c +6^d =7. Since all terms are at least 1 (since even if b, c, d are 0, the term is 1), the minimum sum is 3 (when all exponents are 0). So we need to get from 3 up to 7. Let's see possible combinations.We need to have three numbers (each being 1,4,5,6, or higher powers) that add up to 7. Let's consider possible values for each term:Start with the largest possible term. Let's try 6^d. 6^1=6, which is allowed. Then the remaining sum is 7 -6=1. So we need 4^b +5^c=1. But since both terms are at least 1, their sum is at least 2. So that's impossible. Next, 6^0=1. Then remaining sum is 7 -1=6. So 4^b +5^c=6. Let's try 5^c. If c=1, then 5, so 4^b=1. Then b=0. So 4^0=1. So yes, 1 +5 +1=7. Wait, no: 4^b +5^c=1 +5=6. Then 6 +1 (from 6^d=1) =7. So that works. So this gives us b=0, c=1, d=0. Then 4^0 +5^1 +6^0 =1 +5 +1=7=7^1. So that's a solution: (a,b,c,d)=(1,0,1,0). Let's check if there are other combinations.Alternatively, suppose 5^c=5, so c=1. Then 4^b=1, so b=0, as above. Or if 5^c=1 (c=0), then 4^b=5. But 4^b=5 has no integer solutions, since 4^1=4, 4^2=16. Similarly, if 5^c=5, then 4^b=1. So only possibility here is c=1, b=0, d=0. Alternatively, maybe 6^d=6 (d=1). Then the remaining sum is 1. Then 4^b +5^c=1. But again, each term is at least 1, so sum is at least 2. Not possible. So the only solution when a=1 is (1,0,1,0).Next, a=2: 7^2=49. So we need 4^b +5^c +6^d=49. Let's consider possible values here. Let's start by looking at possible maximum terms. Let's consider the largest possible term among 4^b,5^c,6^d. 6^d: 6^3=216, which is way too big. 6^2=36. 6^1=6. Similarly, 5^c: 5^3=125, too big. 5^2=25. 5^1=5. 4^b: 4^4=256, too big. 4^3=64, too big. 4^2=16. 4^1=4.So possible exponents for each:For 4^b: b=0 to 3 (1,4,16,64)For 5^c: c=0 to 2 (1,5,25)For 6^d: d=0 to 2 (1,6,36)So the maximum possible sum would be 64 +25 +36=125, but we need sum=49. So we need combinations where 4^b +5^c +6^d=49. Let's try combinations.First, let's see if 6^d can be 36 (d=2). Then remaining sum is 49-36=13. So 4^b +5^c=13. Let's try possible 5^c. 5^2=25 is too big. So c can be 0,1. If c=1, then 5, so 4^b=8. 4^b=8 has no integer solution. If c=0, 5^0=1, so 4^b=12. 12 is not a power of 4. So no solution with d=2.Next, d=1: 6^1=6. Remaining sum=49-6=43. Then 4^b +5^c=43. Let's see. 5^c can be 25 (c=2). Then 4^b=43-25=18. Not a power of 4. If c=1: 5, so 4^b=38. Not a power. If c=0:1, 4^b=42. Not a power. So no solution here.Next, d=0: 6^0=1. Remaining sum=49-1=48. So 4^b +5^c=48. Let's see possible 5^c. 5^2=25, so 4^b=48-25=23. Not a power. 5^1=5: 4^b=43. No. 5^0=1: 4^b=47. No. So no solution with d=0.Wait, perhaps I missed some combinations. Let's check again. Maybe instead of starting with 6^d, start with 5^c=25. So 5^c=25 (c=2). Then remaining sum=49-25=24. So 4^b +6^d=24. Let's see. 6^d could be 6 (d=1), then 4^b=18, not possible. 6^d=36 is too big. 6^d=1 (d=0), then 4^b=23. Not possible. 4^b=16 (b=2), then 6^d=8. 8 is not a power of 6. 4^b=4 (b=1), then 6^d=20. Not a power. 4^b=1 (b=0), 6^d=23. No. So no solution here.Alternatively, 5^c=5 (c=1). Then remaining sum=49-5=44. 4^b +6^d=44. Let's check. 6^d can be 36 (d=2). Then 4^b=8. 8 is 2^3, not a power of 4. 6^d=6 (d=1), then 4^b=38. Not possible. 6^d=1 (d=0), 4^b=43. No. 4^b=16 (b=2), 6^d=44 -16=28. Not a power. 4^b=4 (b=1), 6^d=40. No. So no.5^c=1 (c=0). Then remaining sum=48. 4^b +6^d=48. Let's try 6^d=36 (d=2). Then 4^b=12. Not a power. 6^d=6 (d=1), 4^b=42. No. 6^d=1 (d=0), 4^b=47. No. 4^b=16 (b=2), 6^d=32. 32 is not a power of 6. 4^b=64 (b=3), which would make 6^d=48 -64= -16. Not possible. So no solution here either.Hmm, seems like no solutions for a=2. Let's check a=3: 7^3=343. The sum 4^b +5^c +6^d=343. This seems quite large, but let's see. The maximum possible sum with reasonable exponents:Let's see, 6^d: 6^5=7776, which is way too big. Let's check up to 6^4=1296, which is still way over. Similarly, 4^b and 5^c can get large, but even 4^5=1024, 5^5=3125. But 343 is smaller, so perhaps possible combinations.But even 6^3=216. If we take 6^3=216, then remaining sum=343-216=127. Then 4^b +5^c=127. Let's see. 5^c=125 (c=3), then 4^b=2. 4^b=2 is not possible. 5^c=25 (c=2), then 4^b=102. Not a power. 5^c=5 (c=1), 4^b=122. No. 5^c=1 (c=0), 4^b=126. No.Alternatively, 6^d=36 (d=2). Then remaining sum=343-36=307. 4^b +5^c=307. 5^c=125 (c=3), 4^b=182. No. 5^c=25 (c=2), 4^b=282. No. 5^c=5 (c=1), 4^b=302. No. 5^c=1 (c=0), 4^b=306. No.6^d=6 (d=1). Remaining sum=343-6=337. 4^b +5^c=337. 5^c=3125 is too big. 5^c=625 (c=5), 4^b=337-625= negative. Not possible. So no.6^d=1 (d=0). Remaining sum=343-1=342. 4^b +5^c=342. 5^c=3125 too big. 5^c=625 (c=5), 4^b=342-625= negative. No. 5^c=125 (c=3), 4^b=217. No. 5^c=25 (c=2), 4^b=317. No. So seems impossible.Alternatively, maybe 4^b is a large term. For example, 4^b=256 (b=4). Then remaining sum=343-256=87. So 5^c +6^d=87. Let's check 6^d=36 (d=2). Then 5^c=51. 51 isn't a power of 5. 6^d=216 (d=3). Too big. 6^d=6 (d=1), 5^c=81. Not a power. 6^d=1 (d=0), 5^c=86. No.Alternatively, 4^b=64 (b=3). Then remaining sum=343-64=279. 5^c +6^d=279. 6^d=216 (d=3), then 5^c=63. 63 isn't a power. 6^d=36 (d=2), 5^c=243. 243=3^5, but not a power of 5. 6^d=1296 (d=4), too big. So no.Similarly, 4^b=16 (b=2). Remaining sum=343-16=327. 5^c +6^d=327. 6^d=216 (d=3), 5^c=111. No. 6^d=36 (d=2), 5^c=291. No. Not possible.This is getting too big. Maybe a=3 has no solutions. Let's check a=4: 7^4=2401. The sum would need to be 2401. But even with the largest exponents, 4^b, 5^c, 6^d would need to sum to 2401. For example, 6^6=46656 which is way too big. So even the highest exponents would overshoot. So a=4 and higher are likely impossible. But just to be thorough, let's check a=3 again. Maybe I missed a combination.Wait, 4^b +5^c +6^d=343. Let's try 5^c=125 (c=3). Then 4^b +6^d=343-125=218. Let's see. 6^d=216 (d=3). Then 4^b=2. No. 6^d=36 (d=2). Then 4^b=218 -36=182. No. 6^d=6 (d=1). 4^b=212. No. 6^d=1 (d=0). 4^b=217. No. So no.Alternatively, 5^c=25 (c=2). Then 4^b +6^d=343 -25=318. 6^d=216 (d=3). Then 4^b=102. No. 6^d=36 (d=2). 4^b=282. No. 6^d=6 (d=1). 4^b=312. No.So no solution for a=3. a=4 and higher are too large. So maybe the only solution is a=1, b=0, c=1, d=0.Wait, let me check if there are any other solutions for a=1. Earlier I found (1,0,1,0). Let me verify again. If a=1, 7^1=7. So 4^b +5^c +6^d=7. The minimum possible sum is 3 (all exponents 0). So possible combinations:If b=0, c=0, d=0: sum=1+1+1=3 <7.If one of the exponents is 1, others 0: say b=1, others 0: sum=4+1+1=6 <7.If two exponents are 1: b=1, c=1, d=0: 4+5+1=10 >7.If one exponent is 1 and another is higher: say b=1, c=1: 4+5+1=10. Not helpful.Wait, maybe different combinations. For example, b=0, c=1, d=0: 1+5+1=7. That's the solution I found earlier. Alternatively, b=0, c=0, d=1: 1+1+6=8 >7. Not good. Or c=1, d=1: 1+5+6=12. So only the combination where one of the terms is 5 (c=1) and the others are 1 (b=0, d=0). So only one solution here.Therefore, the only solution is (1,0,1,0).But wait, let's check if there are any other possibilities where exponents are higher but the sum is still 7. For example, 4^b=4 (b=1), 5^c=1 (c=0), 6^d=2. But 6^d=2 is impossible. Similarly, 4^b=2: no. 5^c=2: no. 6^d=2: no. So all terms have to be 1, 4,5,6. The only combination that adds to 7 is 1+5+1=7. So yes, that's the only one.Hence, the only solution is a=1, b=0, c=1, d=0.Wait, but let's check again. Maybe if two terms are 1 and one term is 5. But 1+1+5=7. So that's the only way. Therefore, yes, exactly. So only possible when two terms are 1 (exponents 0) and one term is 5 (c=1). So (a=1, b=0, c=1, d=0). That's the only solution.Therefore, after checking a=0,1,2,3,4 and higher, only a=1 gives a solution.Final AnswerThe only solution is boxed{(a, b, c, d) = (1, 0, 1, 0)}.</think>To find all non-negative integers (a, b, c, d) such that (7^a = 4^b + 5^c + 6^d), we start by analyzing the equation for different values of (a).1. Case (a = 0): - The equation becomes (1 = 4^b + 5^c + 6^d). Since each term on the right side is at least 1, the minimum sum is 3 (when (b, c, d = 0)). This is impossible, so no solutions exist for (a = 0).2. Case (a = 1): - The equation becomes (7 = 4^b + 5^c + 6^d). We need three non-negative integers (b, c, d) such that their terms sum to 7. The possible values are: - (4^b), (5^c), (6^d) can be 1, 4, 5, 6, or higher powers. - The only combination that sums to 7 is (1 + 5 + 1 = 7), which corresponds to (b = 0), (c = 1), (d = 0). This gives the solution ((a, b, c, d) = (1, 0, 1, 0)).3. Case (a = 2): - The equation becomes (49 = 4^b + 5^c + 6^d). Checking possible values for (b, c, d) up to reasonable exponents (since higher powers exceed 49), we find no combinations that sum to 49.4. Case (a geq 3): - For (a = 3), the equation becomes (343 = 4^b + 5^c + 6^d). Even with higher exponents, the sum of the terms does not reach 343. For (a geq 4), the left side becomes even larger, making it impossible for the right side to match.After checking all possible values, the only solution is found when (a = 1), (b = 0), (c = 1), and (d = 0).[boxed{(a, b, c, d) = (1, 0, 1, 0)}],<think>Okay, let's try to solve this problem where we need to find all non-negative integers a, b, c, d such that 7^a = 4^b + 5^c + 6^d. Hmm, so we have four variables here, all non-negative integers, and the equation involves different exponential terms. Let me start by understanding what each term could be and see if I can find possible combinations.First, since all variables are non-negative integers, their exponents will result in positive integers (except when the exponent is zero, which gives 1, right?). So, 7^a is going to be a power of 7, starting from 1 (when a=0), then 7, 49, 343, etc. Similarly, 4^b gives us 1, 4, 16, 64, etc. 5^c is 1, 5, 25, 125, and so on. 6^d is 1, 6, 36, 216. So, the right-hand side (RHS) is the sum of three such terms, and the left-hand side (LHS) is a power of 7.Our goal is to find all quadruples (a, b, c, d) where these two sides are equal. Since exponents grow rapidly, maybe the possible solutions are small. Let's check small values first.Let me start by checking if a=0. Then 7^0=1, so RHS must equal 1. But RHS is 4^b + 5^c + 6^d. Since all terms are non-negative integers, the smallest each can be is 0 or 1. Wait, the problem states non-negative integers, so exponents can be 0. Wait, if b, c, d are 0, then 4^0=1, 5^0=1, 6^0=1. So 1+1+1=3. Which is already more than 1. Therefore, when a=0, LHS is 1, but RHS is at least 3. So no solution here.Next, check a=1. Then 7^1=7. So we need 4^b + 5^c + 6^d =7. Let's see. Let's consider possible combinations where the sum is 7. All b, c, d are non-negative integers.Possible values for each term:4^b can be 1, 4, 16, etc. But since the total sum is 7, the maximum 4^b can be is 4, because 16 is already more than 7. Similarly, 5^c can be 1 or 5. 6^d can be 1 or 6. Let's list possible combinations.Case 1: Let's fix 4^b=4 (so b=1). Then remaining sum is 7-4=3. Now we need 5^c + 6^d=3. Possible combinations: 1+2 (but 6^0=1, 5^0=1, so 1+1=2, which is less than 3. Wait, 5^0=1, 5^1=5. 6^0=1, 6^1=6. So possible terms are 1 and 5 for 5^c, and 1 and 6 for 6^d. So trying 1 + 2: not possible. The only possible combinations are 1+1=2, 1+5=6, 1+6=7, 5+6=11. None of these add up to 3. So if 4^b=4, then RHS can't reach 3. So this case is invalid.Case 2: 4^b=1 (so b=0). Then remaining sum is 7 -1 =6. Now need 5^c +6^d=6. Let's check possible values. 5^c can be 1 or 5. 6^d can be 1 or 6.If 5^c=1 (c=0), then 6^d=5. But 6^d is 1,6,36... 5 is not a power of 6, so no solution here.If 5^c=5 (c=1), then 6^d=6 -5=1. So 6^d=1 implies d=0. So here, c=1, d=0. Then, b=0. Therefore, we have a=1, b=0, c=1, d=0. Let's check: 4^0 +5^1 +6^0=1 +5 +1=7. Yes, that works. So that's one solution: (1,0,1,0).Are there other possibilities? Let's check. If 6^d=6 (d=1), then 5^c=0. But 5^c is at least 1, so that's impossible. So no other combinations here.So for a=1, we have one solution.Next, check a=2. Then 7^2=49. So we need 4^b +5^c +6^d=49. Let's think about possible values here. Since 4^b, 5^c, 6^d can be up to 49 each, but likely they are smaller. Let me try to find possible combinations.First, consider possible higher exponents. For example, 6^3=216 which is way over 49, so d can be 0,1,2. Similarly, 5^3=125 which is too big, so c can be 0,1,2. 4^b can be 1,4,16,64. But 64 is over 49, so b can be 0,1,2.So let's iterate over possible values for each exponent.Alternatively, maybe approach by fixing the largest term first. Let's see.If we take 6^d. The possible values are 1,6,36. 36 is less than 49. Let's check if 36 can be part of the sum.If 6^d=36 (d=2), then remaining sum is 49 -36=13. So 4^b +5^c=13. Now, 4^b can be 1,4,16. 16 is too big, so 1 or 4. 5^c can be 1,5,25. 25 is too big. So possible combinations:Case 1: 4^b=1 (b=0). Then 5^c=12. But 5^c can be 1,5. 12 isn't possible. So no.Case 2: 4^b=4 (b=1). Then 5^c=13-4=9. Again, 9 isn't a power of 5. So no.Case 3: 4^b=16 (b=2). Then 5^c=13-16= -3. Not possible. So 6^d=36 doesn't work.Next, try 6^d=6 (d=1). Then remaining sum is 49 -6=43. So 4^b +5^c=43. Now, 4^b can be 1,4,16. Let's see:If 4^b=16 (b=2), then 5^c=43 -16=27. 27 isn't a power of 5. If 4^b=4 (b=1), 5^c=43-4=39. Not a power of 5. If 4^b=1 (b=0), 5^c=43-1=42. Again, not a power of 5. So no solutions here.Next, 6^d=1 (d=0). Then remaining sum is 49 -1=48. So 4^b +5^c=48. Let's check possible 4^b and 5^c. 4^b can be up to 48. So possible b up to log4(48) ≈ 3. So b=0,1,2,3. 4^3=64 is too big, so b=0,1,2.Check 4^b=16 (b=2). Then 5^c=48-16=32. 32 isn't a power of 5.4^b=4 (b=1). Then 5^c=48-4=44. Not a power of 5.4^b=1 (b=0). Then 5^c=48-1=47. Not a power of 5.So 6^d=1 doesn't work either.Therefore, a=2 gives no solutions.Next, check a=3. 7^3=343. So RHS=4^b +5^c +6^d=343. Hmm, this is a larger number, but let's see.Again, start with the largest possible term on RHS. Let's check 6^d. 6^d can be up to 6^5=7776, but since 343 is the target, 6^d can be 216 (d=3), 1296 (too big). So possible 6^d=216, 36, 6,1.If 6^d=216 (d=3), then remaining sum is 343 -216=127. So 4^b +5^c=127.Looking at 4^b: up to 127. 4^b can be 1,4,16,64,256 (but 256 is over 127). So possible 4^b=64 (b=3), then 5^c=127 -64=63. 63 isn't a power of 5. 4^b=16 (b=2), 5^c=127-16=111. Not a power. 4^b=4 (b=1), 5^c=123. Not a power. 4^b=1 (b=0), 5^c=126. Not a power. So no solutions here.Next, 6^d=36 (d=2). Then remaining sum=343 -36=307. 4^b +5^c=307.4^b can be up to 307. 4^5=1024, too big. So possible 4^b=256 (b=4), then 5^c=307-256=51. Not a power. 4^b=64 (b=3), 5^c=307-64=243. 243 is 3^5, but we need a power of 5. 5^3=125, 5^4=625. So 243 isn't a power of 5. Next, 4^b=16 (b=2), 5^c=307-16=291. Not a power. Similarly for smaller 4^b. So no solutions here.6^d=6 (d=1). Then remaining sum=343-6=337. 4^b +5^c=337. Again, 4^b up to 256 (b=4), 337-256=81, which is 3^4, not a power of 5. 4^b=64 (b=3), 337-64=273. Not a power. 4^b=16 (b=2), 337-16=321. Not a power. Similarly, no.6^d=1 (d=0). Remaining sum=343-1=342. 4^b +5^c=342. Let's see. 4^b=256 (b=4), 342-256=86. Not a power. 4^b=64 (b=3), 342-64=278. Not a power. 4^b=16 (b=2), 342-16=326. Not a power. 4^b=4 (b=1), 342-4=338. Not a power. 4^b=1 (b=0), 342-1=341. Not a power. So no solutions here either.Therefore, a=3 gives no solutions.Moving on to a=4: 7^4=2401. This is getting quite big. The RHS sum would need to be 2401. Let's consider possible terms. However, given how large 2401 is, and since 4^b,5^c,6^d each would need to be significant, but even the largest of these (if, say, one term is close to 2401) would require the others to be zero. Let me check if any of the terms can reach near 2401.4^b: 4^6=4096, which is over 2401. So b=5 gives 4^5=1024. 5^c: 5^5=3125, which is over, so 5^4=625. 6^d: 6^7=279,936, which is way over. 6^6=46656, still over. 6^5=7776. So even 6^5=7776 is over. So the largest term here would be 6^5=7776, which is too big. So maybe the largest possible term is 6^4=1296. Let's see. 1296. Then remaining sum is 2401 -1296=1105. Then 4^b +5^c=1105. Let's check if 5^c can be part of this. 5^5=3125 is too big, so c up to 4: 625. Then 4^b=1105 -625=480. 480 isn't a power of 4. 5^4=625, 5^3=125. 1105 -125=980. 980 isn't a power of 4. Similarly for smaller c. So even with 6^d=1296, we can't get the sum. Alternatively, maybe 5^c=625 (c=4), then 4^b=1105-625=480. Not a power. Similarly, 5^c=3125 is too big.Alternatively, if we take 6^d=7776, which is way over. So even the largest term is too big. Therefore, maybe no solutions for a=4. But let's check in a different way.Alternatively, perhaps the sum of multiple large terms could reach 2401. Let's try 6^d=1296 (d=4), 5^c=625 (c=4). Then sum so far is 1296 +625=1921. Then 4^b=2401 -1921=480. 480 isn't a power of 4. If we take 6^d=1296, 5^c=125 (c=3). Sum=1296+125=1421. Then 4^b=2401-1421=980. Not a power. If 6^d=1296, 5^c=25 (c=2). Sum=1296+25=1321. 4^b=2401-1321=1080. Not a power. Similarly, 6^d=36 (d=2), 5^c=625 (c=4). Sum=36+625=661. Then 4^b=2401-661=1740. Not a power. Alternatively, 4^b=1024 (b=5), then sum of 5^c +6^d=2401 -1024=1377. Now, 1377. Let's see if 5^c +6^d=1377. Let's try 6^d=1296 (d=4). Then 5^c=1377 -1296=81. 81 is 3^4, not a power of 5. 6^d=7776 is too big, so next is 6^d=216 (d=3). 1377 -216=1161. Not a power of 5. 6^d=36 (d=2). 1377 -36=1341. Not a power. Similarly, this approach isn't working. It seems a=4 is too big. Let's check a=5? 7^5=16807. Even bigger. I can already tell that the RHS would need to be 16807, which is way larger, and even with large exponents, the sum might not reach. But maybe even higher exponents? But likely, this is getting too big. Let's check if there's any possible way. Wait, 6^d can be 6^7=279,936, which is way over, but even 6^6=46656. 46656 + something. But 46656 is already over 16807. So even 6^6 is too big. So perhaps the only possible solutions are when a is small, like a=1. Wait, but let's check a=0,1,2,3,4,5... Since for a=0, no solution. a=1, we have one solution. a=2,3,4,5, etc., no solution. Maybe that's the only solution? But let's check a=5 just in case.a=5: 7^5=16807. So sum 4^b +5^c +6^d=16807. Let's see. If we take 6^d=7776 (d=6), then remaining sum=16807 -7776=9031. Then 4^b +5^c=9031. 5^c can be up to 5^7=78125, but even 5^6=15625. So 5^6=15625 is over 9031. So 5^5=3125. Let's try 5^5=3125. Then 4^b=9031 -3125=5906. Not a power of 4. 5^4=625. Then 4^b=9031 -625=8406. Not a power. Similarly, even if we take larger 6^d, it's not helping. So no solution here.Therefore, perhaps the only solution is a=1, b=0, c=1, d=0. Let me verify again: 7^1=7, and 4^0 +5^1 +6^0=1 +5 +1=7. Correct.Wait, but are there other solutions with a=1? Let's check again. For a=1, RHS=7. We considered 4^b +5^c +6^d=7. We found (b=0,c=1,d=0). Is there any other combination? Let's see.Suppose instead of 4^0=1, could we have higher exponents? For example, 4^1=4. Then remaining sum=7-4=3. So 5^c +6^d=3. But 5^c can be 1 or 5, and 6^d can be 1 or 6. So possible combinations: 1+1=2, 1+5=6, 1+6=7, 5+6=11. None of these add to 3. So no solution here. If 4^b=16, that's already over 7, so no.Alternatively, if 5^c=5, then remaining sum=7-5=2. So 4^b +6^d=2. Possible terms: 1+1=2. So 4^0 +6^0=1+1=2. Therefore, here, b=0, d=0. So another possibility: a=1, b=0, c=0, d=0. Wait, but 4^0 +5^0 +6^0=1+1+1=3, which is less than 7. Wait, no. Wait, if 5^c=5, then c=1. So remaining sum is 2, so 4^b +6^d=2. Which would require 4^b=1 and 6^d=1. So b=0, d=0. Therefore, the total would be 4^0 +5^1 +6^0=1+5+1=7. Which is the same solution as before. So no, it's the same solution. So actually, that's the only combination for a=1.Wait, another way: if 6^d=6, then remaining sum=7-6=1. So 4^b +5^c=1. Which would require both 4^b and 5^c to be 0 or 1. Since they can't be zero (as exponents are non-negative, so 4^0=1, 5^0=1). So 1 +1=2, which is more than 1. So no solution here. Therefore, only possible solution is when 4^b=1, 5^c=5, 6^d=1. So (0,1,0). Which is the solution we found.Therefore, a=1 gives exactly one solution.Wait, but let's check if there are other solutions where two terms are higher. For example, 4^b +5^c +6^d=7. Suppose two terms are non-1. For example, 4^1 +5^1 +6^0=4 +5 +1=10, which is over. 4^1 +5^0 +6^1=4 +1 +6=11. 4^0 +5^1 +6^1=1 +5 +6=12. All these are over. So the only way to get 7 is with two 1s and a 5. So 1+1+5=7, which is the solution we found.Therefore, indeed, the only solution for a=1 is (1,0,1,0).Wait, let me check a=1 again. If b=0, c=1, d=0. 4^0=1, 5^1=5, 6^0=1. 1+5+1=7. Correct.Is there any other combination where 4^b +5^c +6^d=7? For example, if one of the exponents is greater than 1. Let's try b=2: 4^2=16, which is already over 7. So no. c=2: 5^2=25, way over. d=2:6^2=36, over. So no. Therefore, only possible when all exponents are 0 or 1, except for the 5^c term. So yes, only one solution here.Moving to a=2, 49. We already checked that and found no solutions. Similarly, for a=3, 343, which is too big. So perhaps the only solution is a=1.But let me check a=0 again just to be thorough. For a=0, 7^0=1. RHS=4^b +5^c +6^d=1. But since each term is at least 1 (since any number to the 0 power is 1), and we have three terms, so the minimum sum is 1+1+1=3, which is already greater than 1. So no solution here.Is there a case where one of the exponents is zero but the others aren't? For example, if b=0, c=0, d=0: sum is 3, which is still more than 1. So no.Therefore, the only solution is a=1, b=0, c=1, d=0.Wait, hold on, let me check if there's a case where one of the terms is zero. Wait, but the problem states non-negative integers. So exponents can be zero, but the terms themselves are 4^b, 5^c, 6^d. But 4^0=1, 5^0=1, 6^0=1. So even if the exponent is zero, the term is 1. So we cannot have any term being zero unless the base is zero, which is not the case here. So all terms are at least 1.Therefore, in the equation, the sum 4^b +5^c +6^d is at least 3 (when all exponents are zero). So for a=0, LHS=1, which is less than 3. For a=1, LHS=7, which is possible. For a>=1, but higher a's have been checked and no solutions found.Therefore, the only solution is (1,0,1,0).But just to be thorough, let's check a=1 again. Suppose someone might have different exponents. For example, if c=2, 5^2=25. Then even if other terms are 1, 25+1+1=27, which is more than 7. So no. Similarly, if d=1, 6^1=6. Then 6 +1 + something. 6 +1 +1=8, which is over. So even with d=1, the sum is 6 +1 +1=8. Therefore, only when d=0, c=1, and b=0, the sum is 1+5+1=7. So yes, that's the only way.Therefore, I think that's the only solution. So the final answer is (a,b,c,d) = (1,0,1,0). So boxed, it's boxed{(1,0,1,0)}.Final AnswerThe only solution is boxed{(1, 0, 1, 0)}.</think>To find all non-negative integers (a, b, c, d) such that (7^a = 4^b + 5^c + 6^d), we start by checking small values of (a):1. Case (a = 0): - (7^0 = 1) - The right-hand side (RHS) is (4^b + 5^c + 6^d). The minimum value of each term is 1 (when exponents are 0), so the minimum RHS is (1 + 1 + 1 = 3), which is greater than 1. No solutions here.2. Case (a = 1): - (7^1 = 7) - We need (4^b + 5^c + 6^d = 7). Checking possible values: - If (4^b = 4) (i.e., (b = 1)), the remaining sum is (7 - 4 = 3). No combinations of (5^c) and (6^d) can sum to 3. - If (4^b = 1) (i.e., (b = 0)), the remaining sum is (7 - 1 = 6). We need (5^c + 6^d = 6): - (5^c = 5) (i.e., (c = 1)) and (6^d = 1) (i.e., (d = 0)) gives (5 + 1 = 6). - This gives the solution (a = 1), (b = 0), (c = 1), (d = 0). Verification: (4^0 + 5^1 + 6^0 = 1 + 5 + 1 = 7).3. Case (a = 2): - (7^2 = 49) - Checking possible values for (4^b), (5^c), and (6^d) shows no combinations sum to 49.4. Case (a = 3): - (7^3 = 343) - Checking possible values for (4^b), (5^c), and (6^d) shows no combinations sum to 343.5. Higher values of (a): - For (a geq 4), the value (7^a) becomes very large (e.g., 2401, 16807), and checking possible combinations of (4^b), (5^c), and (6^d) shows no feasible solutions.After thorough checking, the only solution found is for (a = 1), (b = 0), (c = 1), (d = 0).The final answer is (boxed{(1, 0, 1, 0)}).,<think>Alright, let's try to tackle this problem where I need to find all non-negative integers a, b, c, d such that 7^a = 4^b + 5^c + 6^d. Hmm, okay. So, the equation is 7 to the power of a equals the sum of 4 to the power of b, 5 to the power of c, and 6 to the power of d. All variables are non-negative integers. Let's see how I can approach this.First, since all variables are non-negative integers, the right-hand side (RHS) is a sum of three non-negative terms. Each of those terms (4^b, 5^c, 6^d) can be 0 or positive. But wait, 4^b, 5^c, and 6^d are all positive if b, c, d are at least 0. Wait, no: 4^0 is 1, 5^0 is 1, 6^0 is 1. So actually, even if b, c, d are 0, those terms are 1. But the problem says non-negative integers, so they can be 0. So if any of b, c, d is 0, that term becomes 1. If they are positive integers, then the terms grow exponentially. However, if a is 0, then 7^0 is 1, but the RHS would be at least 1 + 1 + 1 = 3, so a cannot be 0. Similarly, if a is 1, then 7^1 = 7, so we need 4^b + 5^c + 6^d = 7. Let's check possible combinations here.Starting with small exponents. Let's see if a=1. Then RHS must be 7. So possible values for b, c, d. Let's list possible terms:4^b can be 1, 4, 16, etc. Similarly, 5^c can be 1,5,25, etc., and 6^d can be 1,6,36, etc. Since their sum is 7, each term can be at most 5, because 1+1+5=7, but 4^b can be 1 or 4. Let's check.Case 1: 4^b = 1 (so b=0). Then remaining sum is 5^c + 6^d = 7 -1 =6. Now, 5^c can be 1 or 5 (since 25 is too big). If 5^c=1 (c=0), then 6^d=6-1=5. But 6^d can only be 1 or 6. 5 is not a power of 6, so invalid. If 5^c=5 (c=1), then 6^d=6-5=1. So 6^d=1, which implies d=0. So here we have b=0, c=1, d=0. So that's a possible solution: (a=1, b=0, c=1, d=0). Let me check: 4^0 + 5^1 + 6^0 = 1 +5 +1=7. Yes, that's correct.Case 2: 4^b=4 (so b=1). Then remaining sum is 5^c +6^d =7-4=3. So 5^c and 6^d must sum to 3. 5^c can be 1 or 5. If 5^c=1 (c=0), then 6^d=3-1=2. But 6^d can be 1 or 6; 2 is not possible. If 5^c=5 (c=1), then 6^d=3-5=-2, which is invalid. So no solutions here.Thus, the only solution for a=1 is (1,0,1,0).Now, let's check a=2. Then 7^2=49. So the RHS must sum to 49. Let's see possible combinations. The terms 4^b,5^c,6^d can be up to 49. Let's see.First, note that 4^b can be up to 49. The possible values for b: 4^0=1, 4^1=4, 4^2=16, 4^3=64 (which is already over 49). So b can be 0,1,2. Similarly, 5^c can be 1,5,25,125 (over 49). So c can be 0,1,2. 6^d: 1,6,36,216 (over 49). So d can be 0,1,2,3. So possible combinations for b,c,d within these limits.We need 4^b +5^c +6^d =49. Let's try different possibilities.Start by considering the largest term first. 6^3=216 is too big. 6^2=36. Let's see if 36 can be part of the sum.If 6^d=36 (d=2), then 4^b +5^c=49-36=13. Now, 4^b and 5^c sum to 13. Let's see:Possible 4^b: 1,4,16. 16 is already larger than 13, so b can be 0 or 1. If b=0 (4^0=1), then 5^c=12, but 12 is not a power of 5. If b=1 (4^1=4), then 5^c=13-4=9. 9 is not a power of 5. So no solution here.Next, 6^d=6 (d=1). Then 4^b +5^c=49-6=43. Let's see if 43 can be expressed as 4^b +5^c. 4^b can be 1,4,16. Then 5^c=43 - 4^b.If 4^b=1, then 5^c=42. Not a power of 5. If 4^b=4, 5^c=39. Not a power of 5. If 4^b=16, 5^c=43-16=27. Not a power of 5. So no solutions here.Next, 6^d=1 (d=0). Then 4^b +5^c=49-1=48. Let's check if 48 can be written as 4^b +5^c. 4^b possible: 1,4,16. So 5^c=48 -4^b.If 4^b=1, 5^c=47. Not a power of 5. If 4^b=4, 5^c=44. Not a power of 5. If 4^b=16, 5^c=48-16=32. Not a power of 5. So no solution here either.So with 6^d being 36,6,1, no solutions. Maybe check d=3? But 6^3=216>49, so it's already too big. So no solutions when a=2.Wait, but wait. 6^d could be 6^2=36, which we checked. But maybe 5^c or 4^b could be higher. Wait, but we considered c up to 2, since 5^2=25, 5^3=125>49, so c can be 0,1,2. Similarly, b up to 2. Hmm. So seems like no solution for a=2.Moving on to a=3. 7^3=343. Then RHS must sum to 343. Let's think. 4^b,5^c,6^d. Let's see possible exponents. 4^b: up to 343, so b can be up to log4(343) ≈ 4.55, so b=0,1,2,3,4. Similarly, 5^c: up to 343, so c up to log5(343)≈3.3, so c=0,1,2,3. 6^d: up to 343, so d up to log6(343)≈3.24, so d=0,1,2,3.So variables can be b=0-4, c=0-3, d=0-3. Let's see if 4^b +5^c +6^d=343. Let's try the largest terms first.Suppose 6^d=216 (d=3). Then remaining sum is 343 -216=127. So 4^b +5^c=127. Let's see possible combinations here.4^b can be up to 127. So possible 4^b=64 (b=3: 4^3=64), 16 (b=2), 4 (b=1), 1 (b=0). Then 5^c=127 -4^b.If 4^b=64 (b=3): 5^c=127-64=63. 63 isn't a power of 5. If 4^b=16 (b=2): 5^c=127-16=111. Not a power of 5. 4^b=4: 5^c=123. Not a power. 4^b=1: 5^c=126. Not a power. So no solution here.Next, 6^d=36 (d=2). Then remaining sum: 343-36=307. 4^b +5^c=307. Let's see. 4^b can be up to 256 (4^4=256). Then 5^c=307 -4^b.Check b=4: 4^4=256, 5^c=307-256=51. Not a power. b=3: 4^3=64, 5^c=307-64=243. 243 is 5^c? 5^3=125, 5^4=625. Nope. 243 is 3^5. Not 5^c. Similarly, b=2: 4^2=16, 5^c=291. Not a power. b=1:4, 5^c=303. No. b=0:1, 5^c=306. No. So no solution here.Next, 6^d=6 (d=1). Then remaining sum:343 -6=337. 4^b +5^c=337. Hmm. 4^b can be up to 256 (b=4). 5^c=337 -4^b.Check b=4: 5^c=337-256=81. 81 is 3^4, not a power of 5. b=3: 5^c=337-64=273. Not a power. b=2:16, 337-16=321. Nope. b=1:4, 337-4=333. No. b=0:1, 337-1=336. Not a power. So no solution here.Next, 6^d=1 (d=0). Then sum is 343 -1=342. 4^b +5^c=342. Let's check. 4^b up to 256.b=4:256, 5^c=342-256=86. Not a power. b=3:64, 5^c=342-64=278. No. b=2:16, 342-16=326. No. b=1:4, 342-4=338. No. b=0:1, 342-1=341. No. So no solutions here.What about other possibilities where 5^c is larger? For example, maybe 5^3=125. Let's see if 4^b +6^d=343-125=218. Then 4^b +6^d=218. Let's check if that's possible.6^d can be 216 (d=3). Then 4^b=218-216=2. Not a power of 4. 6^2=36, 4^b=218-36=182. Not a power of 4. 6^1=6, 4^b=212. 212 isn't a power. 6^0=1, 4^b=217. Not a power. So no.Alternatively, maybe 5^c=25 (c=2). Then 4^b +6^d=343-25=318. Let's check. 6^d can be 216 (d=3). Then 4^b=318-216=102. Not a power. 6^2=36, 4^b=318-36=282. Not a power. Similarly, others would be too big. So no.Hmm, seems like a=3 also doesn't yield a solution.Moving on to a=4: 7^4=2401. Now, RHS is 4^b +5^c +6^d=2401. Let's see. The variables can be up to higher exponents. For example, 4^b: up to 2401. So b up to log4(2401) ≈ 6. So b=0-6. 5^c up to 2401, so c up to log5(2401)≈5. So c=0-5. 6^d up to 2401, so d up to log6(2401)≈5. So d=0-5.This seems like a lot of combinations, but maybe we can find some possible candidates.Again, let's start with the largest term possible. 6^5=7776, which is way over 2401. So the largest possible d is 6^d <=2401. 6^5=7776>2401, so d=0-4. 6^4=1296. Let's check if 6^4=1296 can be part of the sum.If 6^d=1296 (d=4), then remaining sum is 2401 -1296=1105. So 4^b +5^c=1105. Let's see. 4^b can be up to 1105. Let's check possible 5^c first. 5^5=3125>1105, so c=0-4. 5^4=625. Let's try 5^4=625. Then 4^b=1105-625=480. 480 is not a power of 4. 5^3=125. Then 4^b=1105-125=980. Not a power. 5^2=25: 4^b=1105-25=1080. Not a power. 5^1=5:4^b=1100. Not a power. 5^0=1:4^b=1104. Not a power. So no solution here.Next, 6^d=216 (d=3). Then remaining sum=2401-216=2185. 4^b +5^c=2185. Let's check. 5^c can be up to 2185. 5^5=3125>2185, so c=0-4. Let's try c=4 (5^4=625). Then 4^b=2185-625=1560. Not a power. c=3:125, 4^b=2185-125=2060. Not a power. c=2:25, 4^b=2160. 2160 is not a power of 4. c=1:5, 4^b=2180. Not a power. c=0:1, 4^b=2184. Not a power. So no.Next, 6^d=36 (d=2). Remaining sum=2401-36=2365. 4^b +5^c=2365. Let's try 5^5=3125>2365. So c=0-4. 5^4=625: 4^b=2365-625=1740. Not a power. 5^3=125:4^b=2240. Not a power. 5^2=25:4^b=2340. No. 5^1=5:4^b=2360. No. 5^0=1:4^b=2364. No.Next, 6^d=6 (d=1). Remaining sum=2401-6=2395. 4^b +5^c=2395. Let's check. 5^5=3125>2395. So c=0-4. 5^4=625:4^b=2395-625=1770. No. 5^3=125:4^b=2270. No. 5^2=25:4^b=2370. No. 5^1=5:4^b=2390. No. 5^0=1:4^b=2394. No.6^d=1 (d=0). Remaining sum=2401-1=2400. 4^b +5^c=2400. Let's see. 4^b can be up to 2400. 4^6=4096>2400, so b=0-5. Let's check if 5^c=2400 -4^b is a power of 5.b=5:4^5=1024. 5^c=2400-1024=1376. Not a power. b=4:256. 5^c=2400-256=2144. No. b=3:64. 5^c=2400-64=2336. No. b=2:16. 5^c=2384. No. b=1:4. 5^c=2396. No. b=0:1. 5^c=2399. No. So no solution here.Alternatively, maybe 5^c is a larger power. For example, 5^c=625 (c=4). Then 4^b +6^d=2401-625=1776. Let's check if 1776 can be written as 4^b +6^d.4^b can be up to 1776. Let's see. 4^b=1024 (b=5). Then 6^d=1776-1024=752. 752 is not a power of 6. 4^b=256 (b=4). 6^d=1776-256=1520. No. 4^b=64 (b=3). 6^d=1712. No. Similarly, others are too small. So no.This is getting tedious. Maybe a=4 has no solutions.Proceeding to a=5: 7^5=16807. The RHS=4^b +5^c +6^d=16807. This seems even larger, but maybe there's a combination here. However, considering how large 16807 is, and the fact that each term is exponential, but unless one of the variables is very large, it's unlikely. Let's check with 6^d first.6^d=7776 (d=6). Then remaining sum=16807-7776=9031. 4^b +5^c=9031. 5^c can be up to 9031. 5^6=15625>9031, so c=0-5. Let's try c=5:5^5=3125. Then 4^b=9031-3125=5906. Not a power. c=4:625, 4^b=9031-625=8406. Not a power. c=3:125, 4^b=9031-125=8906. Not a power. c=2:25, 4^b=9031-25=9006. Not a power. c=1:5, 4^b=9031-5=9026. Not a power. c=0:1, 4^b=9030. Not a power. So no solution here.Alternatively, maybe 5^c=15625 (c=6). Then 4^b +6^d=16807-15625=1182. Let's check if this is possible. 6^d can be up to 1182. 6^5=7776>1182, so d=0-4. Let's try d=4:6^4=1296>1182. d=3:216. Then 4^b=1182-216=966. Not a power. d=2:36. 4^b=1182-36=1146. No. d=1:6. 4^b=1176. 1176 divided by 4 is 294, divided by 4 is 73.5. Not an integer. So 1176 isn't a power. d=0:1. 4^b=1181. Not a power. So no.This seems hopeless. Maybe there are no solutions beyond a=1. Let's check a=0 just to confirm. 7^0=1. Then RHS must be 1. But RHS is 4^b +5^c +6^d. Since each term is at least 1 (as exponents are non-negative integers), the sum is at least 3. So a=0 is impossible. Therefore, the only possible solution is when a=1, which we found earlier: (1,0,1,0).Wait, but let's check a=6 just in case. 7^6=117649. The RHS would have to be 117649. Given that 4^b, 5^c, 6^d are all much smaller unless their exponents are very large, but even then, getting a sum of 117649 seems impractical. For example, 6^d=6^7=279936, which is larger than 117649, so d=0-6. The largest 6^d is 6^6=46656. Then remaining sum would be 117649-46656=70993. Then 4^b +5^c=70993. Again, 5^c can be up to 70993. 5^7=78125>70993, so c=0-6. Let's try c=6:5^6=15625. Then 4^b=70993-15625=55368. Not a power. c=5:3125. 4^b=70993-3125=67868. Not a power. This is going nowhere. So likely no solutions here.Therefore, after checking a=1 through a=6, and seeing the trend, it's probable that the only solution is a=1 with (1,0,1,0). However, just to be thorough, let's check a=1 again to make sure there are no other combinations. Wait, when a=1, 7^1=7. The possible RHS combinations are:Either all three terms are 1, 1, 5 (sum 7), or 1, 4, 2 (but 2 isn't a power of 5 or 6), etc. Wait, but 4^b,5^c,6^d each have to be 1,4,5,6, etc. So the possible combinations for the sum 7 are:1 +1 +5=7 (which corresponds to b=0, c=0, d=1; but 6^1=6, so 1+1+6=8. Wait, no. Wait, 4^0=1,5^0=1,6^1=6. Then sum is 1+1+6=8, not 7. Wait, maybe I confused the exponents. Wait, in the solution we found earlier, it was 4^0=1,5^1=5,6^0=1, sum 1+5+1=7. So that's (b=0,c=1,d=0). Are there other combinations?Let me list all possible triples (4^b,5^c,6^d) that sum to 7.Possible values for each term:4^b: 1,45^c:1,56^d:1,6So possible combinations:1 +1 +5=7? Wait, 1 (from 4^0) +1 (5^0) +5 (6^d=5). But 6^d=5 is impossible. So that's invalid.1 +5 +1=7: 4^0=1,5^1=5,6^0=1. That's the solution we found.4 +1 +2=7, but 2 isn't a possible term. 4^1=4,5^0=1,6^d=2 invalid.Alternatively, 4 + something. 4 +1 +2=7, but again 2 isn't possible.Alternatively, 6 + something. 6 +1 +0=7, but 0 isn't allowed as exponents would make the term 1. Wait, 6^d=6 (d=1), then remaining sum=1. So 4^b +5^c=1. Then 4^b and 5^c can only be 1 and 0? But 4^b and 5^c are at least 1. So 1 +0=1, but 0 isn't allowed. So 4^b=1,5^c=0 invalid. So no.Therefore, the only possible combination is 1 +5 +1=7. So that's the solution (a=1,b=0,c=1,d=0). No other combinations possible.Therefore, the only solution is a=1, b=0, c=1, d=0.Final AnswerThe only solution is boxed{a=1}, boxed{b=0}, boxed{c=1}, and boxed{d=0}, so we write them as boxed{(a, b, c, d) = (1, 0, 1, 0)}.Final Answerboxed{(1, 0, 1, 0)}</think>To find all non-negative integers (a, b, c, d) such that (7^a = 4^b + 5^c + 6^d), we start by considering small values of (a) and checking possible combinations of (b, c, d).1. Case (a = 1): - We need (7^1 = 7), so (4^b + 5^c + 6^d = 7). - Possible values for (4^b), (5^c), and (6^d) are 1, 4, 5, 6, etc. - Checking combinations: - (4^0 = 1), (5^1 = 5), (6^0 = 1) gives (1 + 5 + 1 = 7). - Other combinations do not sum to 7. - Solution: (a = 1), (b = 0), (c = 1), (d = 0).2. Case (a = 2): - We need (7^2 = 49), so (4^b + 5^c + 6^d = 49). - Checking possible values for (b, c, d) up to exponents that keep terms under 49: - No combinations of (4^b), (5^c), and (6^d) sum to 49.3. Case (a = 3): - We need (7^3 = 343), so (4^b + 5^c + 6^d = 343). - Checking possible values for (b, c, d) up to higher exponents: - No combinations of (4^b), (5^c), and (6^d) sum to 343.4.

Higher values of (a): - For (a geq 5), the required sum (7^a) becomes extremely large, and checking all combinations becomes impractical. However, given the exponential growth of (7^a) compared to (4^b), (5^c), and (6^d), it is unlikely to find any solutions.After thorough checking, the only solution found is for (a = 1), (b = 0), (c = 1), (d = 0).[boxed{(1, 0, 1, 0)}]]

🔑:1. We start with the equation (7^a = 4^b + 5^c + 6^d).2. Taking the equation modulo 3, we get: [ 7^a equiv 1^a equiv 1 pmod{3} ] [ 4^b equiv 1^b equiv 1 pmod{3} ] [ 5^c equiv 2^c pmod{3} ] [ 6^d equiv 0^d equiv 0 pmod{3} ] Therefore, the equation modulo 3 becomes: [ 1 equiv 1 + 2^c + 0 pmod{3} ] For this to hold, (2^c equiv 0 pmod{3}), which implies (c = 0).3. Substituting (c = 0) into the original equation, we get: [ 7^a = 4^b + 5^0 + 6^d ] Simplifying, we have: [ 7^a = 4^b + 1 + 6^d ]4. Taking the equation modulo 2, we get: [ 7^a equiv 1^a equiv 1 pmod{2} ] [ 4^b equiv 0^b equiv 0 pmod{2} ] [ 6^d equiv 0^d equiv 0 pmod{2} ] Therefore, the equation modulo 2 becomes: [ 1 equiv 0 + 1 + 0 pmod{2} ] This holds for any (b) and (d), so no new information is gained here.5. Now, we need to solve: [ 7^a = 4^b + 1 + 6^d ] Taking the equation modulo 4, we get: [ 7^a equiv (-1)^a pmod{4} ] [ 4^b equiv 0 pmod{4} ] [ 6^d equiv 2^d pmod{4} ] Therefore, the equation modulo 4 becomes: [ (-1)^a equiv 0 + 1 + 2^d pmod{4} ] For this to hold, we need: [ (-1)^a equiv 1 + 2^d pmod{4} ] If (a) is even, ((-1)^a equiv 1 pmod{4}), and if (a) is odd, ((-1)^a equiv -1 equiv 3 pmod{4}).6. If (a) is even, we have: [ 1 equiv 1 + 2^d pmod{4} ] This implies (2^d equiv 0 pmod{4}), which is only true if (d geq 2). However, this contradicts our earlier finding that (d = 0).7. If (a) is odd, we have: [ 3 equiv 1 + 2^d pmod{4} ] This implies (2^d equiv 2 pmod{4}), which is only true if (d = 1).8. Substituting (d = 0) and (c = 0) into the original equation, we get: [ 7^a = 4^b + 1 ] Taking the equation modulo 4, we get: [ 7^a equiv (-1)^a pmod{4} ] [ 4^b equiv 0 pmod{4} ] Therefore, the equation modulo 4 becomes: [ (-1)^a equiv 1 pmod{4} ] This implies (a) is even, which contradicts our earlier finding that (a) is odd.9. Therefore, the only solution is when (a = 1), (b = 0), (c = 1), and (d = 0).The final answer is ( boxed{ (1, 0, 1, 0) } )

🧠:[<think>Alright, let me try to figure out this triangle problem. So, the question is: In triangle ABC, sin A equals 2 times cos B times sin C. Then the triangle is a ______ triangle. Hmm, okay. So, I need to figure out what type of triangle ABC is based on that equation. The options are probably something like right-angled, isosceles, equilateral, etc. But let me think step by step.First, I know that in any triangle, the sum of angles A, B, and C is 180 degrees. So, A + B + C = π radians. Maybe I can use that relationship here. Also, there are some trigonometric identities related to triangles that might be helpful. The given equation is sin A = 2 cos B sin C. Let me write that down:sin A = 2 cos B sin CHmm. Let me recall the sine formula. In any triangle, the Law of Sines states that:a/sin A = b/sin B = c/sin C = 2Rwhere a, b, c are the lengths of the sides opposite angles A, B, C respectively, and R is the radius of the circumscribed circle. Maybe that's useful here?Alternatively, perhaps using the Law of Cosines? That states:c² = a² + b² - 2ab cos CBut I'm not sure if that's directly applicable here. Let me think again. The given equation relates angles A, B, and C through their sines and cosines. Maybe I can express all angles in terms of each other?Since A + B + C = π, maybe I can express one angle in terms of the others. For example, A = π - B - C. Then sin A would be sin(π - B - C) = sin(B + C). Because sin(π - x) = sin x. Wait, actually, sin(π - x) = sin x, but here it's sin(π - B - C). So, sin(π - (B + C)) = sin(B + C). Wait, is that correct? Let me verify:sin(π - θ) = sin θ, so if π - (B + C) = A, then sin A = sin(B + C). But also, sin(B + C) = sin π - A? Wait, no. Wait, A + B + C = π, so B + C = π - A, so sin(B + C) = sin(π - A) = sin A. So, sin A = sin(B + C) = sin A. Which is just a tautology. Hmm, maybe that's not helpful.Alternatively, maybe use sine addition formula on sin(B + C). Since sin(B + C) = sin B cos C + cos B sin C. But we have sin A = 2 cos B sin C.But we also know that sin A = sin(π - B - C) = sin(B + C) = sin B cos C + cos B sin C. So, according to the problem statement:sin(B + C) = 2 cos B sin CBut sin(B + C) = sin B cos C + cos B sin C = 2 cos B sin CSo, subtract 2 cos B sin C from both sides:sin B cos C + cos B sin C - 2 cos B sin C = 0Simplify:sin B cos C - cos B sin C = 0Which is sin(B - C) = 0Because sin(B - C) = sin B cos C - cos B sin C.Therefore, sin(B - C) = 0.So, when does sin θ = 0? θ = kπ, where k is integer. But since B and C are angles in a triangle, they must each be between 0 and π, so B - C must be between -π and π. The only integer multiples of π in that interval are -π, 0, and π. However, angles B and C are positive and less than π, so B - C can't be π or -π because that would require one angle to be π and the other 0, which isn't possible. Therefore, the only solution is sin(B - C) = 0 implies B - C = 0, so B = C.Therefore, triangle ABC is isosceles with angles B and C equal. Therefore, sides opposite B and C are equal, so sides b and c are equal, making it an isosceles triangle.Wait, but the problem says "the triangle is a ______ triangle." So, the answer might be isosceles. But let me check if there's another possibility or if I made a mistake in my reasoning.Let me recap:Given sin A = 2 cos B sin C.Expressed A as π - B - C, so sin A = sin(B + C) = sin B cos C + cos B sin C.Set equal to 2 cos B sin C:sin B cos C + cos B sin C = 2 cos B sin CSubtract 2 cos B sin C from both sides:sin B cos C - cos B sin C = 0Which is sin(B - C) = 0Thus, B - C = 0, so B = C.Therefore, angles B and C are equal, so triangle is isosceles with sides b = c.Therefore, the triangle is isosceles.But wait, could it also be a right-angled triangle? Let me check with an example.Suppose ABC is a right-angled triangle. Let's say angle A is 90 degrees. Then sin A = sin 90° = 1.Then 2 cos B sin C should equal 1.In a right-angled triangle at A, angles B and C add up to 90°, so B + C = 90°, so C = 90° - B.Then, cos B sin C = cos B sin(90° - B) = cos B cos B = cos² BSo 2 cos² B = 1 → cos² B = 1/2 → cos B = √2/2 or -√2/2. Since angle B is acute, cos B = √2/2, so B = 45°, so C = 45°.Therefore, in such a triangle, angles B and C are both 45°, so it's a right-angled isosceles triangle.So, in this case, it's both right-angled and isosceles. But according to the earlier conclusion, it's isosceles. So, does the answer allow for both possibilities? But in the problem statement, they might expect the most specific answer. But if angle A is 90°, then angles B and C are 45°, so it's a right-angled isosceles triangle, but if angles B and C are equal but angle A isn't 90°, then it's just isosceles.Wait, but does the given equation hold only when B = C? Because according to the previous reasoning, the only solution is B = C. So regardless of what angle A is, as long as B = C, the equation holds. So even if angle A isn't 90°, if B = C, then sin A = 2 cos B sin C. Let me check with a non-right-angled example.Suppose angles B and C are both 30°, so angle A is 180° - 30° - 30° = 120°.Then sin A = sin 120° = √3/2 ≈ 0.8662 cos B sin C = 2 cos 30° sin 30° = 2*(√3/2)*(1/2) = 2*(√3/4) = √3/2 ≈ 0.866So in this case, sin A = 2 cos B sin C. So, even when it's an isosceles triangle with angles 30°, 30°, 120°, the equation holds. Therefore, the triangle doesn't have to be right-angled. So the answer is isosceles.But wait, in the example where it's a right-angled isosceles triangle, that's also a case where B = C. So, in all cases, the triangle is isosceles, but it could be either acute, right-angled, or obtuse, as long as two angles are equal. Therefore, the answer is isosceles.But let me check if there's another possibility where the triangle is, say, equilateral. If the triangle is equilateral, all angles are 60°, so sin A = sin 60° = √3/2, and 2 cos B sin C = 2 cos 60° sin 60° = 2*(1/2)*(√3/2) = √3/2. So equality holds. So an equilateral triangle also satisfies the condition. But equilateral triangles are a subset of isosceles triangles, where all sides are equal. So in that case, the answer would still be isosceles. But maybe the answer is equilateral? But in the first example I had angles 30°,30°,120°, which is isosceles but not equilateral, and the equation holds. So, no, it's not necessarily equilateral. Therefore, the answer is isosceles.Wait, but let me check another case where B ≠ C. Suppose I have a triangle where B = 60°, C = 45°, then angle A = 75°. Then sin A = sin 75° ≈ 0.96592 cos B sin C = 2 cos 60° sin 45° = 2*(0.5)*(√2/2) = 2*(0.5*0.7071) ≈ 0.7071Which is not equal to sin 75°, so the equation doesn't hold. Therefore, only when B = C does the equation hold. Therefore, the triangle must be isosceles. Hence, the answer is isosceles.So, after going through all that, I think the answer is an isosceles triangle.Final AnswerThe triangle is a boxed{isosceles} triangle.</think>Given the problem: In triangle ABC, sin A = 2 cos B sin C, we need to determine the type of triangle.1. Using the angle sum property: [ A + B + C = pi ] Therefore, sin A = sin(pi - B - C) = sin(B + C).2. Expressing sin(B + C) using sine addition formula: [ sin(B + C) = sin B cos C + cos B sin C ]3. Equating the given equation: [ sin A = 2 cos B sin C ] Substituting sin(B + C) for sin A: [ sin B cos C + cos B sin C = 2 cos B sin C ]4. Simplifying the equation: [ sin B cos C + cos B sin C - 2 cos B sin C = 0 ] [ sin B cos C - cos B sin C = 0 ] This simplifies to: [ sin(B - C) = 0 ]5. Solving for B and C: Since sin(B - C) = 0, we have: [ B - C = 0 implies B = C ]6. Conclusion: Since angles B and C are equal, the triangle is isosceles with sides opposite these angles being equal.Thus, the triangle is a boxed{isosceles} triangle.,<think>Okay, so I have this problem here: In triangle ABC, sin A equals 2 cos B times sin C. I need to figure out what kind of triangle ABC is. The options are probably right-angled, isosceles, equilateral, or something like that. Let me think step by step.First, I remember that in any triangle, the sum of angles A, B, and C is 180 degrees. So, A + B + C = π radians. Maybe that will be useful later. Also, there are some trigonometric identities related to triangles, like the Law of Sines and the Law of Cosines. Let me recall those.Law of Sines: (a/sin A) = (b/sin B) = (c/sin C) = 2R, where R is the radius of the circumscribed circle. Law of Cosines: c² = a² + b² - 2ab cos C, and similarly for the other angles. Maybe these can help me relate the given equation to the sides of the triangle.The given equation is sin A = 2 cos B sin C. Hmm. Let's see. Let me try to express all the angles in terms of each other. Since A + B + C = π, maybe I can express one angle in terms of the others. For example, A = π - B - C. Then sin A = sin(π - B - C) = sin(B + C). Because sin(π - x) = sin x. So, sin A = sin(B + C).So, substituting into the equation, we get sin(B + C) = 2 cos B sin C. Let's expand sin(B + C). That's sin B cos C + cos B sin C. So, sin B cos C + cos B sin C = 2 cos B sin C. If I subtract cos B sin C from both sides, I get sin B cos C = cos B sin C.Hmm, so sin B cos C - cos B sin C = 0. Wait, that looks like the sine of (B - C). Because sin(B - C) = sin B cos C - cos B sin C. So, sin(B - C) = 0. Therefore, B - C = 0 or π, but since angles in a triangle are between 0 and π, B - C = 0. So, B = C. Therefore, the triangle is isosceles with B = C. So, sides opposite angles B and C are equal, so sides b and c are equal. So, the triangle is isosceles.Wait, but let me check if that's correct. Because I started with sin A = 2 cos B sin C, then converted sin A to sin(B + C), expanded, subtracted, and found that sin(B - C) = 0. So, B = C. Therefore, triangle is isosceles with angles B and C equal, so sides b and c equal. That seems straightforward.But let me verify this with another approach to be sure. Maybe using the Law of Sines.Law of Sines: a/sin A = b/sin B = c/sin C. Let's denote this common ratio as 2R. So, a = 2R sin A, b = 2R sin B, c = 2R sin C.Given that sin A = 2 cos B sin C. Let's substitute A from the Law of Sines. Wait, maybe not. Alternatively, express sin A in terms of sides. Hmm, maybe that's more complicated. Let's try substituting the given equation into the Law of Sines.Given sin A = 2 cos B sin C. So, a/(2R) = 2 cos B * (c/(2R)). Simplify: a = 2 cos B * c. So, a = 2c cos B.Wait, from the Law of Cosines, we know that cos B = (a² + c² - b²)/(2ac). Let me plug that into the equation. So, a = 2c * [(a² + c² - b²)/(2ac)]. Simplify: a = 2c * (a² + c² - b²)/(2ac). The 2 and 2 cancel, c in the numerator cancels with c in the denominator, so left with (a² + c² - b²)/a. Therefore, a = (a² + c² - b²)/a. Multiply both sides by a: a² = a² + c² - b². Subtract a² from both sides: 0 = c² - b². Therefore, c² = b², so c = b. Therefore, sides b and c are equal. Therefore, the triangle is isosceles with sides b = c. Therefore, angles B and C are equal, which matches what we found before.So both approaches lead to the conclusion that sides b and c are equal, so the triangle is isosceles.Wait, but let me check if there's another possibility. For example, if the triangle is right-angled. Suppose angle A is 90 degrees. Then sin A = 1. Then 2 cos B sin C should equal 1. Let's see if that's possible. If A is 90 degrees, then B + C = 90 degrees. So, let's say B is θ, then C is 90 - θ. Then cos B = cos θ, sin C = sin(90 - θ) = cos θ. So, 2 cos B sin C = 2 cos θ * cos θ = 2 cos² θ. For this to equal 1, 2 cos² θ = 1 => cos² θ = 1/2 => cos θ = √2/2 or -√2/2. Since θ is an angle in a triangle, it's between 0 and 90 degrees, so cos θ is positive. Therefore, cos θ = √2/2, so θ = 45 degrees. Therefore, angles would be A = 90, B = 45, C = 45. So, a right-angled isosceles triangle. But in this case, sides b and c would be equal, since angles B and C are equal. So, the triangle would be both right-angled and isosceles.But in the original problem, they just ask what kind of triangle it is. So, is it isosceles or right-angled? But according to the previous reasoning, the triangle is isosceles. However, in this specific case, when angle A is 90 degrees and B and C are 45 degrees, it is a right-angled isosceles triangle. So, does the given equation hold only for isosceles triangles in general, or can it also hold for right-angled isosceles triangles?Wait, let's check. If we take the right-angled isosceles triangle, angles 90, 45, 45. Then sin A = sin 90 = 1. 2 cos B sin C = 2 cos 45 sin 45 = 2*(√2/2)*(√2/2) = 2*(2/4) = 1. So, yes, it satisfies the equation. Therefore, the triangle can be right-angled isosceles. But in the previous reasoning, we concluded that B = C, so the triangle is isosceles. However, right-angled isosceles is a specific case of an isosceles triangle. So, maybe the answer is that the triangle is isosceles, which includes the possibility of being right-angled isosceles. But perhaps the problem expects the answer to be right-angled? Wait, but in general, the conclusion was that B = C, which makes it isosceles. The right-angled case is a specific instance where B = C = 45. So, unless there are other possibilities where the triangle is not isosceles but satisfies the equation, the answer is isosceles.But let me check another case. Suppose the triangle is equilateral. Then all angles are 60 degrees. Then sin A = sin 60 = √3/2. 2 cos B sin C = 2 cos 60 sin 60 = 2*(1/2)*(√3/2) = √3/2. So, yes, that's equal. So, in an equilateral triangle, the equation also holds. But in that case, all sides are equal, so it's also isosceles (equilateral is a special case of isosceles where all sides are equal). So, in that case, the answer would still be isosceles. Wait, but equilateral is a more specific classification. However, the problem may expect the most specific answer. So, if the equation is satisfied by both isosceles and equilateral triangles, but the most specific answer would be equilateral? Wait, but in the problem statement, if the triangle is equilateral, then it's also isosceles, but in the case of right-angled isosceles, it's not equilateral. So, how do we know?Wait, let's check. If we have an equilateral triangle, then angles are all 60 degrees. So, sin A = sin 60, and 2 cos B sin C = 2 cos 60 sin 60 = 2*(0.5)*(√3/2) = √3/2, which equals sin 60. So, yes, equation holds. So, the equation holds for both isosceles triangles (including right-angled isosceles) and equilateral triangles. But in our previous reasoning, we found that B = C. So, in the equilateral case, all angles are equal, so of course B = C. So, but does the equation sin A = 2 cos B sin C hold only when B = C, or are there other possibilities?Wait, in the first approach, we started with sin A = 2 cos B sin C, converted sin A to sin(B + C) = sin B cos C + cos B sin C. Then set that equal to 2 cos B sin C. Subtracting gives sin B cos C = cos B sin C, which leads to sin(B - C) = 0, so B = C. Therefore, the only solution is B = C. Therefore, the triangle must be isosceles with B = C. Therefore, even in the equilateral case, since B = C, it's included. So, the answer is that the triangle is isosceles. The equilateral triangle is a special case of isosceles, so the answer is isosceles. Similarly, the right-angled isosceles is also a special case. So, the answer should be isosceles.But let me confirm with another example. Suppose we have an isosceles triangle with B = C = 50 degrees, so A = 80 degrees. Then sin A = sin 80 ≈ 0.9848. 2 cos B sin C = 2 cos 50 sin 50 ≈ 2 * 0.6428 * 0.7660 ≈ 2 * 0.4923 ≈ 0.9846. Which is approximately equal to sin 80. So, that works. So, yes, in this case, the equation holds. If we take another isosceles triangle with B = C = 30 degrees, so A = 120 degrees. Then sin A = sin 120 ≈ 0.8660. 2 cos B sin C = 2 cos 30 sin 30 ≈ 2 * (0.8660) * 0.5 ≈ 0.8660. Which matches. So, in both cases, it works. So, the equation holds for any isosceles triangle with B = C, regardless of the specific angles.But if we take a triangle where B ≠ C, does the equation fail? For example, let's take a triangle with angles A = 90, B = 60, C = 30. Then sin A = 1. 2 cos B sin C = 2 cos 60 sin 30 = 2 * 0.5 * 0.5 = 0.5. Which is not equal to 1. So, the equation doesn't hold here. Another example: A = 60, B = 50, C = 70. Then sin 60 ≈ 0.8660. 2 cos 50 sin 70 ≈ 2 * 0.6428 * 0.9397 ≈ 2 * 0.604 ≈ 1.208, which is not equal to 0.8660. So, the equation doesn't hold here. So, only when B = C, the equation holds. Therefore, the triangle must be isosceles with B = C.Therefore, the answer is that the triangle is isosceles. But let me check once again if there's a case where B ≠ C and the equation still holds. Suppose B - C = π, but that's impossible in a triangle. All angles are less than π. So, sin(B - C) = 0 only when B - C = 0 or π, but π is not possible, so only B = C.Therefore, the conclusion is that triangle ABC is isosceles with B = C. Therefore, the answer is an isosceles triangle.Final Answerboxed{isosceles}</think>Given the problem: In triangle ABC, sin A = 2 cos B sin C, we need to determine the type of triangle.First, we use the identity sin A = sin(B + C) because A = pi - B - C. This gives us:[sin(B + C) = 2 cos B sin C]Expanding sin(B + C) using the angle addition formula:[sin B cos C + cos B sin C = 2 cos B sin C]Subtracting cos B sin C from both sides:[sin B cos C = cos B sin C]This simplifies to:[sin(B - C) = 0]Since sin(B - C) = 0 implies B - C = 0 or pi. Given the angles of a triangle are between 0 and pi, we have B = C. Therefore, triangle ABC is isosceles with B = C.To verify, we use the Law of Sines and Law of Cosines. Expressing a = 2c cos B from the given equation and substituting cos B from the Law of Cosines confirms b = c, leading to the same conclusion.Thus, the triangle is isosceles.[boxed{isosceles}]]

🔑:IsoscelesBrief explanation omitted.Therefore, the triangle is an boxed{text{Isosceles}} triangle.

🧠:[<think>Okay, let's try to figure out how to solve this problem. So, we have three distinct natural numbers a, b, c, and their product is given by a multiplied by b squared multiplied by c cubed, and that equals 1350. We need to find the maximum possible value of a + b + c. Hmm, interesting. First, since we're dealing with natural numbers and factorization, maybe prime factorization of 1350 would help here. Let me start by breaking down 1350 into its prime components. 1350 divided by 2 is 675. Then, 675 divided by 3 is 225. Dividing 225 by 3 again gives 75, and then 75 divided by 3 is 25. Finally, 25 divided by 5 is 5, and 5 divided by 5 is 1. So, the prime factors of 1350 are 2 × 3³ × 5². Wait, let me check that again. Let's do it step by step:1350 ÷ 2 = 675 675 ÷ 3 = 225 225 ÷ 3 = 75 75 ÷ 3 = 25 25 ÷ 5 = 5 5 ÷ 5 = 1Yes, that's correct. So, 1350 = 2¹ × 3³ × 5². Okay, so now we have the exponents: 1 for 2, 3 for 3, and 2 for 5.Given the equation a × b² × c³ = 1350, which is 2¹ × 3³ × 5², we need to assign these prime factors to a, b², and c³ in such a way that a, b, c are distinct natural numbers, and their sum a + b + c is maximized.Since a, b, c need to be distinct, we need to ensure that when we assign the exponents to each of them, they result in different numbers. The goal is to make a, b, c as large as possible, but since their product is fixed (1350), there's a trade-off. To maximize the sum, typically, you want one of the numbers to be as large as possible while keeping the others as small as possible, but considering the exponents in the equation, it might not be straightforward.Let me recall that in problems where you need to maximize the sum given a product, distributing the product more towards the variable with the highest exponent might help. Here, since c is cubed, maybe we should give more factors to c to make it larger, but since a is only multiplied once, perhaps making a larger would help. Hmm, conflicting strategies here. Let me think.Alternatively, maybe breaking down the prime factors into a, b², c³. Each of these terms will have some combination of the primes 2, 3, 5. Since a, b², c³ multiply to 2¹ × 3³ × 5², each prime factor has to be entirely in one of a, b², or c³. For example, the prime 2 has exponent 1. So, 2 has to go entirely to a, b², or c³. Similarly for 3 and 5.But since exponents in a, b², c³ must be integers, we have to distribute the exponents accordingly.Let me structure this.Let’s denote the exponents of each prime in a, b², and c³:For prime 2: total exponent is 1. Let’s say a has exponent x, b² has exponent y, c³ has exponent z, so x + y + z = 1. Similarly for prime 3: total exponent is 3. For prime 5: total exponent is 2.But since a is a single number, the exponents of primes in a are just whatever is assigned to a. For b², the exponents in b² are twice the exponents in b. Similarly, c³'s exponents are three times the exponents in c.Wait, perhaps this is a better approach: Let's think of a, b, c as numbers composed of primes 2, 3, 5. Let’s denote:a = 2^{a2} × 3^{a3} × 5^{a5}b = 2^{b2} × 3^{b3} × 5^{b5}c = 2^{c2} × 3^{c3} × 5^{c5}Then, the equation a × b² × c³ = 1350 translates to:2^{a2 + 2b2 + 3c2} × 3^{a3 + 2b3 + 3c3} × 5^{a5 + 2b5 + 3c5} = 2¹ × 3³ × 5²Therefore, we have the equations:a2 + 2b2 + 3c2 = 1 (for prime 2)a3 + 2b3 + 3c3 = 3 (for prime 3)a5 + 2b5 + 3c5 = 2 (for prime 5)Additionally, since a, b, c are distinct natural numbers, we need to ensure that a ≠ b, a ≠ c, and b ≠ c. So, after finding exponents that satisfy the above equations, we need to compute a, b, c and check for their distinctness.Our goal is to maximize a + b + c. Since exponents contribute multiplicatively to the numbers, perhaps distributing higher exponents to variables with higher coefficients (i.e., c³ would benefit more from higher exponents since they are tripled) might help in increasing c, but since we want a, b, c to be as large as possible, maybe distributing more exponents to a would help? Because a is multiplied once, so increasing a would directly increase the sum. Hmm, but it's a balance because if you make a larger, then b and c might be smaller. Let me try some examples.Let's start with prime 2, which has only exponent 1. So, the equation is a2 + 2b2 + 3c2 = 1. Since 2b2 and 3c2 are non-negative integers (since exponents can't be negative), the only way to get a sum of 1 is if one of the variables a2, b2, c2 is 1 and the others are zero. Let's check:Case 1: a2 = 1, then 2b2 + 3c2 = 0 ⇒ b2 = c2 = 0. So, a has the prime 2, and b and c do not.Case 2: b2 = something. But 2b2 must be ≤1, so b2 = 0. Similarly, 3c2 ≤1 ⇒ c2=0. So, the only possibility is Case 1. Therefore, for prime 2, a2=1 and b2=c2=0. Therefore, a must have a factor of 2, and b and c cannot have factors of 2.So, a has 2^1, and b and c have 2^0.Now moving to prime 5, which has exponent 2. The equation is a5 + 2b5 + 3c5 = 2. Let's find non-negative integers a5, b5, c5 such that this equation holds.Possible solutions:Again, similar to prime 2, we have limited possibilities. Let's list them:Case 1: a5=2, then 2b5 +3c5=0 ⇒ b5=c5=0.Case 2: a5=1, then 2b5 +3c5=1. But 2b5 +3c5=1. The only possibility here is b5=0 and c5=0, since 3c5 ≤1 implies c5=0, then 2b5=1, which isn't possible because b5 must be integer. So this case is invalid.Case 3: a5=0, then 2b5 +3c5=2. Let's see possible (b5, c5):If c5=0, then 2b5=2 ⇒ b5=1.If c5=1, then 3c5=3 ⇒ 2b5= -1, which is invalid.So the only solution here is b5=1, c5=0.Therefore, for prime 5, either:Case 1: a5=2, b5=0, c5=0OrCase 3: a5=0, b5=1, c5=0So, two possibilities for prime 5.Now, for prime 3, which has exponent 3. The equation is a3 + 2b3 + 3c3=3. Let's find non-negative integers a3, b3, c3.Possible solutions:Case 1: Let's try c3=1. Then 3c3=3, so a3 + 2b3=0 ⇒ a3=0, b3=0.Case 2: c3=0. Then a3 +2b3=3.Possible solutions here:Subcases:- a3=3, b3=0- a3=1, b3=1 (since 1 + 2*1=3)- a3=2, b3=0.5 invalidSo, the valid solutions are:c3=1, a3=0, b3=0or c3=0, and either a3=3, b3=0 or a3=1, b3=1.But note that b3 must be an integer, so only these possibilities.So, for prime 3, three possibilities.Now, combining the possibilities for primes 2, 3, 5. Remember that a, b, c must be distinct natural numbers. Let's start with the assignments:First, for prime 2, we've already determined that a2=1, so a includes 2^1. b and c have no factors of 2.For prime 5, we have two options:Option 1: a5=2, so a includes 5^2, and b5=0, c5=0Option 2: a5=0, b5=1, c5=0, so b includes 5^1, c5=0.For prime 3, three options:Option A: c3=1, a3=0, b3=0, so c includes 3^1, a3=0, b3=0Option B: c3=0, a3=3, b3=0, so a includes 3^3, b3=0Option C: c3=0, a3=1, b3=1, so a includes 3^1, b includes 3^1But we need to combine these possibilities while ensuring that a, b, c are distinct.Also, note that for each prime, we have to combine their exponents.Let me try combining the prime assignments.First, for prime 5:Case 1: a5=2 (so a has 5²), and prime 3's options.Prime 3, Option A: c3=1 (c has 3¹). Then a3=0, b3=0. So:a = 2^1 × 5^2 × 3^0 = 2 × 25 × 1 = 50b = 2^0 × 5^0 × 3^0 = 1 (since all exponents are zero except maybe for prime 3, but b3=0 here)Wait, hold on. Wait, no. Wait, b is composed of primes 2,3,5. But we need to check all primes. Let's clarify.Wait, for a, we have:a: 2^1 (from prime 2), 3^a3 (from prime 3), 5^a5 (from prime 5)Similarly for b and c.So in this case:If we take prime 5, Case 1 (a5=2), and prime 3, Option A (c3=1, a3=0, b3=0):Then:a = 2^1 × 3^0 × 5^2 = 2 × 1 × 25 = 50b = 2^0 × 3^0 × 5^0 = 1 (since b2=0, b3=0, b5=0)c = 2^0 × 3^1 × 5^0 = 3 × 1 × 1 = 3So, a=50, b=1, c=3. Are they distinct? Yes, 50,1,3 are all different. Sum is 50+1+3=54.Alternatively, prime 3, Option B: c3=0, a3=3, b3=0.So:a = 2^1 × 3^3 × 5^2 = 2 × 27 × 25 = 1350Wait, but 2 ×27=54, 54 ×25=1350. So, a=1350But then, b = 2^0 ×3^0 ×5^0=1c = 2^0 ×3^0 ×5^0=1But b and c would both be 1, which is not allowed since they must be distinct. So this is invalid.Similarly, prime 3, Option C: c3=0, a3=1, b3=1.So:a = 2^1 ×3^1 ×5^2=2×3×25=150b = 2^0 ×3^1 ×5^0=1×3×1=3c = 2^0 ×3^0 ×5^0=1So, a=150, b=3, c=1. Are they distinct? Yes. Sum is 150+3+1=154. Hmm, that's higher than 54.Wait, but hold on, prime 3, Option C: when c3=0, a3=1, b3=1. So, for prime 3, a3=1, so a has 3^1; b3=1, so b has 3^1. But then, since b's exponent is 1, and in the equation for prime 3: a3 +2b3 +3c3=3, plugging in a3=1, b3=1, c3=0 gives 1 + 2×1 +0=3, which is correct. So that works.But then, a=150, b=3, c=1. All distinct. The sum is 154. That's a candidate.Alternatively, prime 5, Case 1 (a5=2), prime 3, Option C: but already considered.So, moving on.Now, for prime 5, Case 2: a5=0, b5=1, c5=0. So, a has no 5s, b has 5^1, c has no 5s.Now, combining with prime 3's options.Prime 3, Option A: c3=1, a3=0, b3=0.Thus:a = 2^1 ×3^0 ×5^0=2×1×1=2b = 2^0 ×3^0 ×5^1=1×1×5=5c = 2^0 ×3^1 ×5^0=3×1×1=3So, a=2, b=5, c=3. All distinct. Sum is 2+5+3=10. Not great.Prime 3, Option B: c3=0, a3=3, b3=0.So:a=2^1 ×3^3 ×5^0=2×27×1=54b=2^0 ×3^0 ×5^1=1×1×5=5c=2^0 ×3^0 ×5^0=1So, a=54, b=5, c=1. Distinct. Sum is 54+5+1=60.Prime 3, Option C: c3=0, a3=1, b3=1.So:a=2^1 ×3^1 ×5^0=2×3×1=6b=2^0 ×3^1 ×5^1=1×3×5=15c=2^0 ×3^0 ×5^0=1So, a=6, b=15, c=1. All distinct. Sum is 6+15+1=22.So, among all these combinations:When prime 5 is assigned as a5=2 (Case 1):- With prime 3, Option A: sum 54- With prime 3, Option B: invalid (b and c both 1)- With prime 3, Option C: sum 154When prime 5 is assigned as a5=0, b5=1 (Case 2):- With prime 3, Option A: sum 10- With prime 3, Option B: sum 60- With prime 3, Option C: sum 22So, the maximum so far is 154 from prime 5 Case 1 and prime 3 Option C.But wait, let's check that again. When prime 5 is Case 1 (a5=2), prime 3 is Option C (a3=1, b3=1, c3=0). Then:a = 2^1 ×3^1 ×5^2=2×3×25=150b = 2^0 ×3^1 ×5^0=3c = 2^0 ×3^0 ×5^0=1Yes, so a=150, b=3, c=1. Sum 150+3+1=154.But is there another way to assign the exponents to get a higher sum?Wait, let's check if there are any other combinations. For example, perhaps if we assign some exponents differently. Let's consider the prime 3. If we can assign c3=1, which would take 3^1 for c, but then we have remaining exponents for prime 3: 3 -3*1=0. But that's already covered in prime 3, Option A.Alternatively, maybe another approach. Let's try to list all possible distributions of exponents.Another way: Let's start by considering that we need to split the exponents of each prime into a, b², c³. Since the exponents in a, b², c³ must be non-negative integers, and then the actual exponents in b and c would be half or third of those.But since exponents in b and c must also be integers (because b and c are natural numbers), the exponents assigned to b² must be even, and exponents assigned to c³ must be multiples of 3.Wait, perhaps this is a better way to think. For example, when distributing the exponents of prime 2 (which is 1):- The exponent in a must be 0 or 1 (since a is multiplied once)- The exponent in b² must be 0 or 2 (since b² would have even exponents)Wait, no. Wait, the exponent in b² is 2 times the exponent in b. So, if we assign an exponent of 2 to b², that would mean the exponent in b is 1. But since exponents have to be integers, the exponent assigned to b² must be even. Similarly, exponent assigned to c³ must be multiples of 3.But in our original problem, the total exponents for each prime in a, b², c³ must equal the exponents in 1350's prime factorization.For prime 2: total exponent is 1. Therefore, the exponent assigned to a can be 1 (since 1 is odd and cannot be assigned to b² or c³ which require even or multiples of 3). So, a must get the entire exponent of 2. That matches our earlier conclusion.For prime 3: total exponent is 3. We can assign exponents to a, b², c³ such that:Possible assignments:- Assign 3 to a: then a gets 3^3, and b² and c³ get 0.- Assign 1 to a and 2 to b²: since 2 is even (so exponent in b is 1). Then a gets 3^1, b² gets 3^2, c³ gets 0.- Assign 0 to a, 3 to b²: but 3 is not even, so invalid.- Assign 0 to a, 0 to b², 3 to c³: 3 is a multiple of 3, so exponent in c is 1. So c³ gets 3^3, so c=3^1=3.So, possible assignments for prime 3:1. a=3^3, b²=1, c³=1 ⇒ a=27, b=1, c=1 (but b and c can't be same)2. a=3^1, b²=3^2 ⇒ b=3^1=3, c³=1 ⇒ c=1. So a=3, b=3, c=1 (but a and b same)Wait, but in the problem statement, a, b, c must be distinct. So, this assignment would result in a=3, b=3, which is invalid.Wait, maybe I messed up here. Let me check again.Wait, if prime 3 is assigned as a=3^1, b²=3^2, c³=1. Then:a has 3^1, so a=3.b² has 3^2, so b=3^(2/2)=3^1=3.c³ has 3^0=1, so c=1.Thus, a=3, b=3, c=1. But a and b are both 3, which is invalid.So that's not allowed.Alternatively, if we assign a=0, b²=3^0, c³=3^3. Then c³=3^3 ⇒ c=3, so c=3. Then a=3^0=1, b=3^0=1. So a=1, b=1, c=3. Again, a and b same. Invalid.Alternatively, if we assign a=3^3, then a=27, b²=1, c³=1. So a=27, b=1, c=1. Duplicates again. So perhaps the only valid assignment is a=3^1, b=3^1, c=1, which is invalid. Hmm, but earlier we had another assignment when combining with prime 5. Wait, in the previous analysis, when combining with prime 5, we had a=150, b=3, c=1. So how did that happen? Because when we considered prime 3, we had a=3^1, b=3^1, but that would make a and b both have 3, but in that case, a=150 (which is 2×3×5²), and b=3 (which is 3×5^0×2^0). So, even though both have 3^1, but a is 150 and b is 3, which are distinct. Wait, but in that case, even though a and b share the prime 3, the numbers themselves are different because a has other primes. So, a and b can have common prime factors as long as the numbers themselves are different. The problem states that a, b, c are distinct natural numbers, not that they have to be coprime. So, as long as the numbers themselves are distinct, it's okay. So in that case, a=150 and b=3 are different numbers, even though they share a common factor of 3. So that is acceptable.So, in that case, the assignment where a=150, b=3, c=1 is valid because 150, 3, and 1 are distinct numbers. So that's okay.Therefore, when combining the exponents, even if they share prime factors, as long as the numbers themselves are different, it's okay. So, that's an important point.So, going back, when we had prime 5 assigned to a (a5=2) and prime 3 assigned to a and b (a3=1, b3=1), even though a and b both have a factor of 3, since a is 150 and b is 3, they are distinct. So that's acceptable.Therefore, the sum of 154 is valid. Let's check if there's a higher sum possible.Wait, let's consider another approach. Since the product is fixed, to maximize the sum, we need to have one of the numbers as large as possible, even if the others are small. So, if we can make a very large, while keeping b and c as small as possible (but still distinct and natural numbers), that might give a higher sum.Alternatively, if we can make c large, since c is cubed, perhaps that could lead to a higher sum? But c is cubed, so even a small c could take a lot of the prime factors. Let's see.Wait, in the previous calculation, when we assigned c=1, which is minimal, and made a=150, which is very large. So that gave the highest sum. Maybe that's the way to go.Alternatively, if we try to assign more exponents to c, making c larger. Let's see.Suppose we try to assign some exponents to c³. For example, for prime 3, total exponent is 3. If we assign 3 to c³, then c=3^(3/3)=3^1=3. Then a and b² get 0. So a=1, b=1, c=3. But duplicates. Invalid.If we assign 0 to c³, then the exponents must go to a and b². So, a + 2b =3. Possible solutions:a=1, 2b=2 ⇒ b=1. So a=1, b=1, duplicates. Invalid.a=3, 2b=0 ⇒ b=0. But b must be natural number, so invalid.Alternatively, prime 3: a=1, b=1. But duplicates. So seems like only possible way is a=3, b=0, which is invalid. Hence, maybe that approach doesn't work.Alternatively, for prime 5, total exponent is 2. If we assign 2 to c³, then c=5^(2/3), which is not an integer. So invalid. Therefore, we can't assign any exponents of 5 to c³. Therefore, prime 5 exponents must go to a or b².Similarly, for prime 2, we must assign all to a. So, given that, perhaps the only way to get a higher sum is to maximize a, which in turn requires putting as many exponents as possible into a. But a can take exponents from primes 2,3,5. However, due to the other constraints (distinctness), we have to balance.Wait, in our previous analysis, when we assigned a to take 2^1, 5^2, and 3^1, resulting in a=2×25×3=150, and then b=3, c=1, sum 154. If we can assign more exponents to a, keeping b and c distinct, maybe sum can be higher.Wait, but prime 2 is already assigned entirely to a (2^1). For prime 5, we assigned 5^2 to a, which is maximum possible (since total exponent for 5 is 2). For prime 3, if we could assign more to a, but we had to leave some for b.Wait, in the case where we assigned a=3^1, b=3^1, but then that required prime 3's exponents to be split as a3=1, b3=1. But if we could assign more to a, but then b would have to have less. But given the equation a3 +2b3 +3c3=3.If we assign a3=3, then 2b3 +3c3=0 ⇒ b3=c3=0. Then a=3^3=27. But then, combining with prime 5's assignment where a5=2, then a=2×27×25=1350. Then b and c would both be 1. Which is invalid. So that's not possible.Alternatively, if we assigned a3=2, then 2b3 +3c3=1. But 2b3 +3c3=1. The only solution is c3=0, b3=0.5, which is invalid. So no solution here.Therefore, the maximum exponent we can assign to a for prime 3 is 1, as in the previous case.Therefore, the maximum possible a is 150, with b=3, c=1, sum 154.Wait, but let's check another possibility. What if we assign prime 5 to b instead of a? For prime 5, the two options were a5=2 or b5=1. If we take b5=1, which gives b=5, then maybe we can get a higher sum.Wait, let's take prime 5 assigned to b (b5=1). So, prime 5: a5=0, b5=1, c5=0. Then, prime 3: if we assign as much as possible to a.Prime 3's equation: a3 +2b3 +3c3=3.If we set c3=0, then a3 +2b3=3. To maximize a3, we can set a3=3, then b3=0. So:a3=3, b3=0, c3=0.Then, a=2^1 ×3^3 ×5^0=2×27=54.b=2^0 ×3^0 ×5^1=5.c=2^0 ×3^0 ×5^0=1.So, a=54, b=5, c=1. Sum is 54+5+1=60.Alternatively, set a3=1, b3=1, c3=0.Then, a=2×3×1=6, b=3×5=15, c=1. Sum 6+15+1=22.Alternatively, set a3=0, b3=1.5, invalid.So, maximum sum here is 60.But previously, with prime 5 assigned to a, we had sum 154. So 154 is higher.Alternatively, if we assign prime 3's exponents to c. For example, prime 3 assigned to c³: c3=1, so c=3. Then, a3 +2b3=0 ⇒ a3=0, b3=0.Thus, a=2×1×25=50, b=5, c=3. Wait, but prime 5 was assigned to a=50 (5^2), so b=5 would be allowed. Wait, no. Wait, if prime 5 is assigned to a (a5=2), then b has no 5s. So, if prime 3 is assigned to c=3, then:a=2×25=50 (from prime 2 and 5), b=1 (no primes), c=3. So sum 50+1+3=54.Alternatively, if prime 5 is assigned to b (b=5), and prime 3 assigned to c=3, then:a=2×1=2, b=5, c=3. Sum 2+5+3=10.So, in that case, sum is lower.Hence, the maximum sum seems to be 154 when a=150, b=3, c=1.But wait, let's check another combination. Suppose we assign prime 3 to c³=3^3, making c=3, but then a and b would have to be 1, which duplicates. But what if we assigned prime 3 partially to c and partially to a or b?Wait, for example, c3=1 (so c=3), then a3 +2b3=0. Therefore, a=1, b=1, which duplicates. Not allowed.Alternatively, c3=0, then a3 +2b3=3. To maximize a3, set a3=3, b3=0. Then, a=2×27×25=1350, but then b and c=1. Which duplicates. Invalid.If a3=1, b3=1, then a=2×3×25=150, b=3, c=1. Which is the case we already have.Alternatively, a3=0, b3=1.5, invalid.Therefore, no other possibilities.Hence, the maximum sum achievable is 154.But let me check if there's another way to distribute the exponents. For example, let's consider prime 5. If we split the exponents between a and b².Wait, the equation for prime 5 is a5 +2b5 +3c5=2. We considered two cases: a5=2 or b5=1. But is there another way?For example:a5=0, b5=0, c5=2/3. But c5 must be integer, so invalid.a5=1, 2b5 +3c5=1. As before, no solution.So, only two possibilities.Similarly, for prime 3, we had three possibilities. So, all possibilities have been covered.Therefore, the maximum sum is indeed 154.But wait, just to be thorough, let's check another combination. Let's try assigning prime 3 to c³=3^0, prime 5 to a=5^2, and see what's left.Wait, in the case where prime 3 is split between a and b. Wait, in the previous case where we had a3=1, b3=1, that's allowed as long as a and b are distinct.Wait, when we combined the exponents for each prime:For prime 2: all exponent 1 goes to a.For prime 5: a5=2 ⇒ 5² in a.For prime 3: a3=1, b3=1.Then, a = 2¹ ×3¹ ×5² = 2×3×25=150b=3^1=3c=1.Yes, that's the case. So, the key was assigning as much as possible to a, given the constraints.Since a is multiplied by b squared and c cubed. Wait, no, in the equation, it's a × b² × c³ = 1350. But the factorization is fixed. So, the key is to assign the prime factors to a, b², and c³ such that a, b, c are distinct.Wait, but in the case where a=150, which is 2×3×5². Then, b=3, which is 3, and c=1. So, a=150, b=3, and c=1. So, their product is 150 ×3² ×1³=150×9×1=150×9=1350, which matches. So, that's correct. So, the factorization is correct, and the numbers are distinct.So, the maximum value of a + b + c is 150 +3 +1=154. So, the answer is boxed{154}?Wait, but in the problem statement, it's asking for the maximum value of a + b + c, where a, b, c are distinct natural numbers. Wait, the example shows "the maximum value of a+b+c is..." so likely 154. But let me check once again.Let me verify:If a=150, b=3, c=1. Then, a×b²×c³=150×3²×1³=150×9×1=150×9=1350. Which is correct.So, the product is 150×9×1=1350. Wait, no:Wait, a=150, b=3, c=1. Then a×b²×c³=150×3²×1³=150×9×1=150×9=1350. Which is correct. So, the product is 1350, as required.The numbers are 150,3,1. They are distinct natural numbers. Therefore, this is valid.The sum is 150 +3 +1=154. So, the answer is 154. So, the answer is boxed{154}?But the example says the maximum value is boxed{154}. So, yes. So, the answer is boxed{154}.But let me check the problem statement again. It says "maximum value of a + b + c". So the answer is 154.Final Answerboxed{154}</think>To solve the problem where (a, b, c) are distinct natural numbers such (ab^2c^3 = 1350) and find the maximum value of (a + b + c):1. Prime Factorization: Factorize 1350 into its prime factors: [ 1350 = 2 times 3^3 times 5^2 ] So, the prime factors of 1350 are 2, 3, 3, 3, 5, 5.2.

Assigning Prime Factors: Assign the prime factors to a, b, c such that they are distinct natural numbers. To maximize the sum, assign the highest exponents to the variables with the highest exponents.,<think>Okay, let me try to solve this problem. So, we have three distinct natural numbers a, b, c such that ab²c³ = 1350. We need to find the maximum value of a + b + c. Hmm, okay. Let me start by understanding what the problem is asking for.First, natural numbers are positive integers, right? So, a, b, c are all positive integers, and they must be distinct. The equation given is a multiplied by b squared multiplied by c cubed equals 1350. We need to find the maximum possible sum of these three numbers. Since we need to maximize a + b + c, we should probably try to make the individual numbers as large as possible. However, their product is fixed at 1350, so there's a trade-off here. If one number is larger, the others might have to be smaller. The challenge is to balance this in such a way that the sum is maximized. I remember that for a given product, the sum is maximized when the numbers are as close to each other as possible. But wait, in this case, the exponents on b and c complicate things. The variables have different weights in the product: c is cubed, b is squared, and a is linear. So, perhaps we need to assign smaller numbers to variables with higher exponents to keep the product manageable, allowing the other variables to be larger? Not sure yet. Maybe factorization is the key here. Let's try prime factorization of 1350 to see how we can distribute the prime factors among a, b², and c³.First, let me factorize 1350. Breaking it down:1350 ÷ 2 = 675 675 ÷ 3 = 225 225 ÷ 3 = 75 75 ÷ 3 = 25 25 ÷ 5 = 5 5 ÷ 5 = 1So, the prime factors are 2 × 3³ × 5². Therefore, 1350 = 2 × 3³ × 5². Now, we need to assign these prime factors to a, b², and c³. Since a, b, c are natural numbers and distinct, we need to distribute the exponents of 2, 3, and 5 among the three variables in such a way that the exponents in a, b², and c³ correspond to the prime factorization.Let me denote the exponents of 2, 3, and 5 in a as x2, x3, x5; in b as y2, y3, y5; and in c as z2, z3, z5. Then, since the product is ab²c³, the total exponents for each prime would be:For prime 2: x2 + 2y2 + 3z2 = 1 (since there's one 2 in 1350) For prime 3: x3 + 2y3 + 3z3 = 3 (since there are three 3s) For prime 5: x5 + 2y5 + 3z5 = 2 (since there are two 5s)But wait, these equations need to hold for each prime. But a, b, c are numbers built from these primes, so each variable's exponent for a prime is a non-negative integer, and then multiplied by the respective coefficients from the exponents in the original problem.Alternatively, since 1350's prime factors are 2^1 * 3^3 * 5^2, we need to write a, b, c as products of these primes, such that when you take a * b^2 * c^3, the exponents add up to 1 for 2, 3 for 3, and 2 for 5. Given that, the variables a, b, c can be expressed as:a = 2^{a2} * 3^{a3} * 5^{a5} b = 2^{b2} * 3^{b3} * 5^{b5} c = 2^{c2} * 3^{c3} * 5^{c5}Then, the product ab²c³ would be:2^{a2 + 2b2 + 3c2} * 3^{a3 + 2b3 + 3c3} * 5^{a5 + 2b5 + 3c5} = 2^1 * 3^3 * 5^2Therefore, we have the following equations:1. a2 + 2b2 + 3c2 = 1 2. a3 + 2b3 + 3c3 = 3 3. a5 + 2b5 + 3c5 = 2All exponents a2, a3, a5, b2, etc., are non-negative integers. Additionally, since a, b, c must be distinct, we need to ensure that a, b, c are different numbers.The goal is to assign these exponents such that the numbers a, b, c are distinct, and their sum a + b + c is maximized.This seems a bit complex. Maybe instead of handling each prime separately, I can think of the entire number. Let's consider that ab²c³ = 1350, so we need to find triples (a, b, c) of distinct natural numbers such that this equation holds, and find the one with the maximum sum.Since 1350 is not too large, perhaps listing out possible factorizations could work. But with three variables and exponents, it's a bit tricky. Maybe start by considering possible values for c first, since c is raised to the highest power (c³). If c is larger, c³ would take up more of the product, potentially leaving less for a and b, but maybe allowing a and b to be smaller? Wait, but we need a, b, c to be as large as possible. Hmm, conflicting ideas.Alternatively, since c is cubed, maybe c should be as small as possible so that a and b can be larger, thereby increasing the sum. But if c is too small, then c³ is very small, which might require a or b to be too large, but constrained by the product. Not sure. Let's test some possible values.First, note that c must be a natural number such that c³ divides 1350. Let's find possible c.1350 divided by c³ must result in an integer, so c³ must be a divisor of 1350.First, list the cubes that are divisors of 1350. The prime factorization is 2 * 3³ * 5². The exponents for primes in c³ must not exceed those in 1350.For prime 2: exponent in c³ must be ≤1. Since 3 divides the exponent in c³, the exponent of 2 in c can be 0 (since 3*0 =0 ≤1).For prime 3: exponent in c³ must be ≤3. So, if c has exponent k for prime 3, then 3k ≤3 ⇒ k ≤1. So c can have 0 or 1 exponent for prime 3.For prime 5: exponent in c³ must be ≤2. So, 3k ≤2 ⇒ k=0. So c cannot have any factor of 5.Therefore, possible c's are products of 2^0 * 3^0 or 3^1 * 5^0. So, c can be 1 or 3.Wait, hold on. Let me check that again. If c can have exponents:For prime 2: 0 (since 3*0=0 ≤1)For prime 3: 0 or 1 (since 3*1=3 ≤3)For prime 5: 0 (since 3*0=0 ≤2)Therefore, c can be 3^0 =1, or 3^1=3. So c can only be 1 or 3. Let me verify.If c=1, then c³=1, so ab²=1350.If c=3, then c³=27, so ab²=1350 / 27 = 50.So c can only be 1 or 3. Let's check if there are more possibilities. For example, c=2. Then c³=8. 1350 ÷8=168.75, which is not an integer, so c=2 is invalid. Similarly, c=4: 64, 1350 ÷64≈21.09375, not integer. c=5: 125, 1350 ÷125=10.8, not integer. So yes, only c=1 or 3.So first case: c=1.Then ab²=1350. Now we need to find distinct a, b, c (c=1 here) such that ab²=1350. Since c=1, a and b must be distinct from 1 and each other.Factorizing 1350 again: 2*3³*5². So to write 1350 as a product of a and b². Let me write this as a = (factors not in b²), and b² = (some factors). Since b² must be a square number, all exponents in its prime factorization must be even. Similarly, a must take the remaining factors.So, for prime 2: exponent in b² must be even. The total exponent in ab² is 1. Therefore, since 2 appears once in total, and in b² it can be 0 or 2, but 2 is more than 1, so exponent of 2 in b² must be 0. Therefore, exponent of 2 in a is 1.For prime 3: total exponent in ab² is 3. Let exponent in b² be 2k, so exponent in a is 3 - 2k. Since 3 -2k must be non-negative, possible k=0: exponent in a=3, which is allowed. k=1: exponent in a=1. So possible.Similarly, for prime 5: total exponent is 2. Exponent in b² is 2m, so exponent in a is 2 - 2m. Thus m can be 0 or 1.So possible combinations:Prime 2: in a:1, in b²:0.Prime 3: case1: in a:3, in b²:0; case2: in a:1, in b²:2.Prime 5: case1: in a:2, in b²:0; case2: in a:0, in b²:2.So we need to combine these possibilities.Let me see:First, for prime 3 and 5, the exponents in b² must be even. Let's try different combinations.Case 1: For prime 3, in a=3, b² has 0; for prime 5, in a=2, b² has 0. Then:a = 2^1 * 3^3 *5^2 = 2*27*25= 1350. Then b²=1, so b=1. But c=1 already, so b=1 and c=1 would not be distinct. So this is invalid.Case 2: For prime 3, a=3; for prime 5, b²=2. Wait, prime 5: exponent in b² is 2, so m=1. Then exponent in a is 0. Therefore:a=2^1 *3^3 *5^0= 2*27=54. b²=3^0 *5^2=25, so b=5. Then check if a, b, c are distinct: 54,5,1. Yes, all distinct. Then sum is 54+5+1=60.Case 3: For prime 3, a=1 (so exponent in a is 1), which requires exponent in b²=2, so exponent in b is1. For prime 5, exponent in a=2, exponent in b²=0. Then:a=2^1*3^1*5^2=2*3*25=150. b²=3^2*5^0=9, so b=3. Then c=1. Check distinctness:150,3,1. All distinct. Sum=150+3+1=154.Case 4: For prime3: a=1, and prime5: b²=2. Then:a=2^1*3^1*5^0=2*3=6. b²=3^2*5^2=9*25=225. So b=15. Then check distinctness:6,15,1. All distinct. Sum=6+15+1=22. That's much lower.So in this c=1 case, the maximum sum is 154 when a=150, b=3, c=1. Wait, but is this possible? Let me double-check:If a=150, b=3, c=1. Then ab²c³=150*(3)^2*(1)^3=150*9=1350. Yes, that's correct. And all numbers are distinct: 150,3,1. The sum is 150+3+1=154.Okay, that seems good. But let's check the other case where c=3.So now c=3. Then c³=27. Therefore, ab²=1350/27=50. Now, factorizing 50: 2*5². So prime factors 2^1*5^2.Again, we need to write 50 as a product of a and b², where a, b are natural numbers, distinct from each other and from c=3.Same approach: prime factors.Prime 2: exponent in ab²=1. Since b² has even exponent for 2, possible exponent in b² is 0 or 2. But total exponent is 1, so exponent in b² must be 0, hence exponent in a=1.Prime 5: exponent in ab²=2. So exponent in b² can be 0 or 2. If exponent in b²=0, then exponent in a=2. If exponent in b²=2, then exponent in a=0.Therefore, two possibilities:1. a=2^1*5^2=2*25=50. Then b²=1, so b=1. But c=3, so a=50, b=1, c=3. All distinct. Sum=50+1+3=54.2. a=2^1*5^0=2. Then b²=5^2=25, so b=5. Then a=2, b=5, c=3. All distinct. Sum=2+5+3=10.So in this case, the maximum sum is 54. Which is lower than the previous case where c=1, sum=154.Therefore, between c=1 and c=3, the maximum sum is 154. But wait, are there other possible c values? Earlier, we concluded c can only be 1 or 3. Let me verify again:1350=2*3³*5². For c³ to divide 1350, each prime in c must have exponent such that 3 times that exponent is less than or equal to the exponent in 1350.For prime 2: exponent in c must be 0, since 3*1=3 >1.For prime 3: exponent in c can be 0 or 1 (since 3*1=3 ≤3).For prime 5: exponent in c must be 0, since 3*1=3 >2.Therefore, c can only be 3^0=1 or 3^1=3. So yes, only c=1 or 3. Therefore, we've considered all possible cases.But wait, is there a possibility where a, b, or c have other prime factors? No, because the product ab²c³=1350, whose prime factors are only 2,3,5. So a, b, c can only be composed of these primes. Hence, our previous analysis is complete.Therefore, the maximum sum is 154 when c=1, a=150, b=3.But wait, let me check if there are other factorizations when c=1. Earlier, I considered cases for prime3 and prime5. But maybe there are other distributions? Let's check.Wait, when c=1, ab²=1350. Let's list all possible factor pairs (a, b²) such that a*b²=1350. Then b² must be a square divisor of 1350. Let's list all square divisors of 1350.First, prime factorization of 1350: 2*3³*5². The square divisors must have even exponents:For prime 2: exponent 0 or 2. But since in 1350, exponent of 2 is 1, the exponent in square divisor can only be 0.For prime 3: exponent 0 or 2. Since exponent in 1350 is 3, the exponent in square divisor can be 0 or 2.For prime 5: exponent 0 or 2. Since exponent in 1350 is 2, exponent in square divisor can be 0 or 2.Therefore, possible square divisors:- 2^0 *3^0 *5^0 =1- 2^0 *3^0 *5^2=25- 2^0 *3^2 *5^0=9- 2^0 *3^2 *5^2=225Therefore, the square divisors of 1350 are 1, 9, 25, 225.Therefore, possible b² values are 1,9,25,225. Then corresponding a=1350 / b²:- If b²=1, then a=1350, b=1. But c=1, so duplicates. Invalid.- If b²=9, then a=1350 /9=150. So b=3. Then a=150, b=3, c=1. All distinct. Sum=150+3+1=154.- If b²=25, then a=1350 /25=54. So b=5. Then a=54, b=5, c=1. All distinct. Sum=54+5+1=60.- If b²=225, then a=1350 /225=6. So b=15. Then a=6, b=15, c=1. All distinct. Sum=6+15+1=22.So as before, the maximum sum in this case is 154. So that's correct.In the c=3 case, the square divisors of 50 (since ab²=50). Prime factors of 50:2*5². Square divisors are 1,25. So:- If b²=1, a=50. Then b=1, but c=3. All distinct. Sum=50+1+3=54.- If b²=25, a=2. Then b=5. Sum=2+5+3=10.So indeed, the maximum is 54.Therefore, comparing both cases, the maximum sum is 154.Wait, but let me double-check if there are other possibilities where a, b, or c could have different exponents. For instance, maybe when c=1, a and b could take different prime factors. Wait, but the prime factors are fixed as 2,3,5. So, all possibilities are exhausted.Wait, but maybe if we allow exponents in a, b, c to overlap differently. For example, in the case where c=1, a=150, b=3. Let's see:a=150=2*3*5² b=3=3 c=1=1But in this case, the exponents:For a: 2^1 *3^1 *5^2 For b: 3^1 So, in ab²c³: a=2*3*25=150, b²=9, c³=1. So 150*9*1=1350. Correct.But wait, a and b both have a factor of 3. So in terms of exponents:a has 3^1, b² has 3^2. Therefore, total exponent of 3 in the product is 1+2=3, which matches. Similarly, other primes. So this is valid.But since a and b are allowed to share prime factors as long as they are distinct numbers, right? The problem states that a, b, c are distinct natural numbers, but they can share prime factors. So 150 and 3 are distinct even though 3 is a factor of 150. That's acceptable.So yes, that's a valid solution. Similarly, other combinations are checked.Therefore, I think 154 is indeed the maximum possible sum. Let me just check if there's a way to get a higher sum by perhaps having c= something else. Wait, but earlier analysis shows c can only be 1 or 3. So 154 is the maximum.But let me think again. Suppose we take c=1, but assign different exponents. Wait, no. The factorization approach already considered all possible square divisors for b². So that's covered.Alternatively, maybe using different prime allocations? For instance, in the case where c=1, if we set a=54, b=5. Then a=54=2*3^3, b=5=5, c=1. Then sum=54+5+1=60. Less than 154.Alternatively, if c=3, the sum is 54 or 10. So no.Therefore, the answer should be 154.But wait, just to ensure, let me think if there's a different approach where a, b, c are not necessarily constructed purely from the prime factors. Wait, but since the product is 1350, which factors into 2,3,5, any a, b, c must be products of those primes. So no, there can't be other primes involved.Alternatively, maybe using a= 1350, b=1, c=1. But then they are not distinct. So invalid.Another angle: the problem is similar to splitting the exponents of primes among a, b², c³. To maximize a + b + c, we need to distribute the exponents such that the numbers are as large as possible. However, due to the exponents in the product (i.e., b squared and c cubed), we have to give higher exponents to variables with lower exponents in the product.Wait, perhaps the key is to minimize the exponents on variables with higher exponents in the equation. Since c is cubed, we want c to have as few prime factors as possible, so that a and b can have more. Which is what we did by setting c=1. But even when c=3, c is still minimal compared to the a and b in that case.Alternatively, maybe there's a mathematical method to maximize the sum given the product. But with different exponents, it's more complex. In the standard case, for a given product, the sum is maximized when the terms are equal. But here, since each term is raised to a different power, it's not straightforward.Alternatively, using Lagrange multipliers, but since we are dealing with integers, that might not be helpful. But maybe considering real numbers and then adjusting.Suppose we treat a, b, c as real numbers. Then, we want to maximize a + b + c subject to ab²c³ = 1350. Let’s set up the Lagrangian:L = a + b + c + λ(1350 - ab²c³)Taking partial derivatives:dL/da = 1 - λb²c³ = 0 ⇒ λ = 1/(b²c³) dL/db = 1 - 2λab c³ = 0 ⇒ 1 = 2λab c³ dL/dc = 1 - 3λab²c² = 0 ⇒ 1 = 3λab²c² dL/dλ = 1350 - ab²c³ = 0From the first equation, λ = 1/(b²c³). Substitute into the second equation:1 = 2*(1/(b²c³))*ab c³ = 2a/b ⇒ 1 = 2a/b ⇒ b = 2aFrom the third equation:1 = 3*(1/(b²c³))*ab²c² = 3a/c ⇒ 1 = 3a/c ⇒ c = 3aSo, from the Lagrangian, we get relationships: b = 2a, c = 3a.Then, substitute into the constraint ab²c³ = 1350:a*(2a)²*(3a)³ = a*4a²*27a³ = 4*27*a*a²*a³ = 108a⁶ = 1350 Thus, a⁶ = 1350 /108 = 12.5 a = (12.5)^(1/6) ≈ 1.47But since a must be a natural number, this suggests that the optimal real number solution isn't an integer, so we need to check nearby integers. Since a≈1.47, try a=1 and a=2.If a=1, then b=2*1=2, c=3*1=3. Then, ab²c³=1*4*27=108 ≠1350. Not good.If a=2, then b=4, c=6. Then ab²c³=2*16*216=6912≠1350. Too big.So the real number solution isn't helpful here. Hence, the problem requires an integer solution, so the earlier approach of factorization is more reliable.Therefore, the maximum sum is 154.But wait, in the integer case, when we set c=1, and got a=150, b=3. Let's check if this aligns with the Lagrangian solution. The Lagrangian suggested ratios of a : b : c = 1 : 2 : 3. But in our case, a=150, b=3, c=1. The ratios are way off. So that's interesting. It shows that the real number optimization doesn't apply here because the exponents in the product constraint make the variables scale differently.Therefore, the answer is 154.Final AnswerThe maximum value of (a + b + c) is (boxed{154}).</think>Given the problem where (a, b, c) are distinct natural numbers such that (ab^2c^3 = 1350), we need to find the maximum value of (a + b + c).First, we factorize 1350 into its prime factors:[ 1350 = 2 times 3^3 times 5^2 ]We need to distribute these prime factors among (a), (b^2), and (c^3) such that (a, b, c) are distinct natural numbers and their sum (a + b + c) is maximized. Key Steps:1. Identify possible values for (c): - Since (c^3) must be a divisor of 1350, the possible values for (c) are 1 and 3 (as higher values would not divide 1350 appropriately).2. Case 1: (c = 1): - Then (ab^2 = 1350). - Factorizing 1350, we find possible pairs ((a, b^2)): - (b^2) must be a square divisor of 1350. The square divisors are 1, 9, 25, 225. - Checking each: - (b^2 = 9) gives (b = 3) and (a = 150). This results in (a = 150), (b = 3), (c = 1). Sum: (150 + 3 + 1 = 154). - Other divisors result in smaller sums.3. Case 2: (c = 3): - Then (ab^2 = 50). - Factorizing 50, we find possible pairs ((a, b^2)): - The square divisors of 50 are 1, 25. - Checking each: - (b^2 = 25) gives (b = 5) and (a = 2). This results in (a = 2), (b = 5), (c = 3). Sum: (2 + 5 + 3 = 10). - Other divisors result in smaller sums. Conclusion:The maximum value of (a + b + c) is achieved when (a = 150), (b = 3), and (c = 1), resulting in a sum of (150 + 3 + 1 = 154).[boxed{154}]]

🔑:Solution: because 1350=2 times 5^{2} times 3^{3}=150 times 3^{2} times 1^{3}, therefore when a=150, b=3, c=1, the maximum value of a+b+c is 154.

🧠:[<think>Alright, let's tackle this problem step by step. So, we have a cubic polynomial p(x, y) in two variables, given by:[ p(x,y) = a_0 + a_1x + a_2y + a_3x^2 + a_4xy + a_5y^2 + a_6x^3 + a_7x^2y + a_8xy^2 + a_9y^3 ]And we know that this polynomial is zero at the points (0,0), (1,0), (-1,0), (0,1), (0,-1), (1,1), (1,-1), and (2,2). The question is asking for another point (a/c, b/c) that must be a root of all such polynomials p(x,y), where a, b, c are positive integers, a and c are coprime, and c > 1. Then we need to find a + b + c.Okay, so the key here is that the polynomial has to vanish at all those given points, and we need to find another common root that must exist for all such polynomials. That suggests that the given points impose certain conditions on the coefficients a_0 through a_9, and the common root is a consequence of those conditions.First, let's note that p(x,y) is a cubic polynomial in x and y. The general form includes all terms up to degree 3. However, the number of coefficients is 10 (from a_0 to a_9). But we have 8 conditions given by the roots. So, each condition is an equation that relates the coefficients. Since we have 8 equations and 10 unknowns, there will be a 2-dimensional space of solutions. But we need to find a point that must be a root for all such polynomials, meaning that regardless of the remaining degrees of freedom (the two parameters), this point will always satisfy the equation.Alternatively, if we can write the polynomial p(x,y) as a combination of basis polynomials each vanishing at those 8 points, then the common root would be a point that lies in the intersection of the zero sets of all those basis polynomials. But maybe another approach is better.Alternatively, we can use the fact that if a polynomial of degree 3 in two variables vanishes at 9 points, then under certain conditions (like the points being in general position), the polynomial must be identically zero. However, here we have 8 points, so there is a non-trivial polynomial vanishing at those 8 points, and we need to find another point that must lie on all such polynomials. That is, the 8 given points force any cubic polynomial vanishing at them to also vanish at this ninth point.This is similar to the concept in linear algebra where if you have a system of equations, the solutions must satisfy certain dependencies. Here, the dependencies among the conditions imposed by the roots would lead to an extra condition (the ninth point) that must be satisfied.So, perhaps we can set up the system of equations given by the roots and find that there is an implied equation that must hold for any solution, leading to a new point.Let me try to set up the equations.Given that p(0,0) = 0. Let's substitute (0,0) into p(x,y):p(0,0) = a_0 = 0. So, a_0 = 0.Next, p(1,0) = 0. Let's substitute x=1, y=0:p(1,0) = a_0 + a_1(1) + a_2(0) + a_3(1)^2 + a_4(1)(0) + a_5(0)^2 + a_6(1)^3 + a_7(1)^2(0) + a_8(1)(0)^2 + a_9(0)^3.Simplifying, this is:a_0 + a_1 + a_3 + a_6 = 0.But we already know a_0 = 0, so:a_1 + a_3 + a_6 = 0. Let's note this as equation (1).Similarly, p(-1, 0) = 0. Substitute x = -1, y = 0:p(-1, 0) = a_0 + a_1(-1) + a_2(0) + a_3(-1)^2 + a_4(-1)(0) + a_5(0)^2 + a_6(-1)^3 + a_7(-1)^2(0) + a_8(-1)(0)^2 + a_9(0)^3.Simplify:a_0 - a_1 + a_3 - a_6 = 0.Again, a_0 = 0, so:- a_1 + a_3 - a_6 = 0. Equation (2).Now, we have equations (1) and (2):(1) a_1 + a_3 + a_6 = 0(2) -a_1 + a_3 - a_6 = 0Let's solve for a_1, a_3, a_6. Let's add equations (1) and (2):(a_1 - a_1) + (a_3 + a_3) + (a_6 - a_6) = 0 + 0 => 2a_3 = 0 => a_3 = 0.Substitute a_3 = 0 into equation (1):a_1 + 0 + a_6 = 0 => a_1 = -a_6.From equation (2): -a_1 + 0 - a_6 = 0 => -a_1 - a_6 = 0 => a_1 = -a_6. So, same result. So, a_3 = 0 and a_1 = -a_6.Moving on. Next, p(0,1) = 0. Substitute x=0, y=1:p(0,1) = a_0 + a_1(0) + a_2(1) + a_3(0)^2 + a_4(0)(1) + a_5(1)^2 + a_6(0)^3 + a_7(0)^2(1) + a_8(0)(1)^2 + a_9(1)^3.Simplify:a_0 + a_2 + a_5 + a_9 = 0.Again, a_0 = 0, so:a_2 + a_5 + a_9 = 0. Equation (3).Similarly, p(0, -1) = 0. Substitute x=0, y=-1:p(0,-1) = a_0 + a_1(0) + a_2(-1) + a_3(0)^2 + a_4(0)(-1) + a_5(-1)^2 + a_6(0)^3 + a_7(0)^2(-1) + a_8(0)(-1)^2 + a_9(-1)^3.Simplify:a_0 - a_2 + a_5 - a_9 = 0.So, a_0 = 0 gives:- a_2 + a_5 - a_9 = 0. Equation (4).Now, equations (3) and (4):(3) a_2 + a_5 + a_9 = 0(4) -a_2 + a_5 - a_9 = 0Adding equations (3) and (4):0 + 2a_5 + 0 = 0 => 2a_5 = 0 => a_5 = 0.Then from equation (3):a_2 + 0 + a_9 = 0 => a_2 = -a_9.From equation (4): -a_2 + 0 - a_9 = 0 => -a_2 - a_9 = 0 => a_2 = -a_9. Same result. So, a_5 = 0, a_2 = -a_9.Next, p(1,1) = 0. Substitute x=1, y=1:p(1,1) = a_0 + a_1(1) + a_2(1) + a_3(1)^2 + a_4(1)(1) + a_5(1)^2 + a_6(1)^3 + a_7(1)^2(1) + a_8(1)(1)^2 + a_9(1)^3.Simplify:a_0 + a_1 + a_2 + a_3 + a_4 + a_5 + a_6 + a_7 + a_8 + a_9 = 0.Again, a_0 = 0. Substitute the known values:a_1 + a_2 + 0 + a_4 + 0 + a_6 + a_7 + a_8 + a_9 = 0.But we know a_1 = -a_6 and a_2 = -a_9. Substitute those:(-a_6) + (-a_9) + a_4 + a_6 + a_7 + a_8 + a_9 = 0.Simplify:(-a_6 + a_6) + (-a_9 + a_9) + a_4 + a_7 + a_8 = 0 => a_4 + a_7 + a_8 = 0. Equation (5).Similarly, p(1, -1) = 0. Substitute x=1, y=-1:p(1,-1) = a_0 + a_1(1) + a_2(-1) + a_3(1)^2 + a_4(1)(-1) + a_5(1)^2 + a_6(1)^3 + a_7(1)^2(-1) + a_8(1)(-1)^2 + a_9(-1)^3.Simplify:a_0 + a_1 - a_2 + a_3 - a_4 + a_5 + a_6 - a_7 + a_8 - a_9 = 0.Again, substitute known values:a_1 - a_2 + 0 - a_4 + 0 + a_6 - a_7 + a_8 - a_9 = 0.Replace a_1 = -a_6 and a_2 = -a_9:(-a_6) - (-a_9) - a_4 + a_6 - a_7 + a_8 - a_9 = 0.Simplify:(-a_6 + a_6) + (a_9 - a_9) + (-a_4) - a_7 + a_8 = 0 => -a_4 - a_7 + a_8 = 0. Equation (6).Now we have equations (5) and (6):(5) a_4 + a_7 + a_8 = 0(6) -a_4 - a_7 + a_8 = 0Let's add them:(5) + (6): (a_4 - a_4) + (a_7 - a_7) + (a_8 + a_8) = 0 + 0 => 2a_8 = 0 => a_8 = 0.Substitute a_8 = 0 into equation (5):a_4 + a_7 + 0 = 0 => a_4 = -a_7.From equation (6):- a_4 - a_7 + 0 = 0 => -a_4 - a_7 = 0 => a_4 = -a_7. Same result. So, a_8 = 0, a_4 = -a_7.Next, p(2,2) = 0. Substitute x=2, y=2:p(2,2) = a_0 + a_1(2) + a_2(2) + a_3(2)^2 + a_4(2)(2) + a_5(2)^2 + a_6(2)^3 + a_7(2)^2(2) + a_8(2)(2)^2 + a_9(2)^3.Simplify:a_0 + 2a_1 + 2a_2 + 4a_3 + 4a_4 + 4a_5 + 8a_6 + 8a_7 + 16a_8 + 8a_9 = 0.Substitute known values:a_0 = 0, a_3 = 0, a_5 = 0, a_8 = 0.So:2a_1 + 2a_2 + 4a_4 + 8a_6 + 8a_7 + 8a_9 = 0.Now, replace a_1 = -a_6, a_2 = -a_9, a_4 = -a_7.Substituting:2(-a_6) + 2(-a_9) + 4(-a_7) + 8a_6 + 8a_7 + 8a_9 = 0.Simplify term by term:-2a_6 -2a_9 -4a_7 +8a_6 +8a_7 +8a_9Combine like terms:(-2a_6 +8a_6) + (-2a_9 +8a_9) + (-4a_7 +8a_7) = 6a_6 +6a_9 +4a_7 = 0.So:6a_6 + 6a_9 +4a_7 = 0. Equation (7).So far, our known substitutions are:a_0 = 0,a_3 = 0,a_5 = 0,a_8 = 0,a_1 = -a_6,a_2 = -a_9,a_4 = -a_7.So, we can express all coefficients in terms of a_6, a_7, a_9. Let's see:From equation (7):6a_6 + 6a_9 +4a_7 = 0.But we need another equation. Wait, how many equations do we have? Let's count.We have:From the 8 points, 8 equations. Let me check:1. (0,0) gives a_0 = 0.2. (1,0) gives equation (1): a_1 + a_3 + a_6 = 0.3. (-1,0) gives equation (2): -a_1 + a_3 - a_6 = 0.4. (0,1) gives equation (3): a_2 + a_5 + a_9 = 0.5. (0,-1) gives equation (4): -a_2 + a_5 - a_9 = 0.6. (1,1) gives equation (5): a_4 + a_7 + a_8 = 0.7. (1,-1) gives equation (6): -a_4 - a_7 + a_8 = 0.8. (2,2) gives equation (7): 6a_6 + 6a_9 +4a_7 = 0.So, that's 8 equations. So, we have 8 equations for 10 variables. After substitutions, we've reduced the variables to a_6, a_7, a_9. Because:a_0 = 0,a_1 = -a_6,a_2 = -a_9,a_3 = 0,a_4 = -a_7,a_5 = 0,a_8 = 0.So, remaining variables are a_6, a_7, a_9, and equation (7) relates them: 6a_6 +6a_9 +4a_7 = 0.So, equation (7): 6a_6 + 6a_9 +4a_7 = 0.Therefore, we have one equation with three variables. So, two parameters can be free variables, say a_6 and a_7, then a_9 can be expressed in terms of them.From equation (7):6a_9 = -6a_6 -4a_7 => a_9 = (-6a_6 -4a_7)/6 = -a_6 - (2/3)a_7.But coefficients are real numbers; the problem doesn't specify that they have to be integers or anything. So, the general solution would be:a_6 = s,a_7 = t,a_9 = -s - (2/3)t,where s and t are parameters.Therefore, the polynomial p(x,y) can be written in terms of s and t.But we need to find a point (a/c, b/c) that must be a root for all such polynomials. So, regardless of the values of s and t, this point must satisfy the equation.Therefore, for all s and t, the polynomial evaluated at (a/c, b/c) must be zero. Therefore, the coefficients multiplying s and t must each be zero, as well as any constant term. However, since s and t are arbitrary, their coefficients must individually vanish.So, let's write p(x,y) in terms of s and t.Given the substitutions:a_0 = 0,a_1 = -a_6 = -s,a_2 = -a_9 = s + (2/3)t,a_3 = 0,a_4 = -a_7 = -t,a_5 = 0,a_6 = s,a_7 = t,a_8 = 0,a_9 = -s - (2/3)t.Therefore, substituting into the polynomial:p(x,y) = (-s)x + (s + (2/3)t)y + 0x^2 + (-t)xy + 0y^2 + s x^3 + t x^2 y + 0 x y^2 + (-s - (2/3)t) y^3.Let me rearrange:p(x,y) = s x^3 - s x + t x^2 y - t x y + (s + (2/3)t)y + (-s - (2/3)t) y^3.Grouping terms by s and t:p(x,y) = s(x^3 - x + y - y^3) + t(x^2 y - x y + (2/3)y - (2/3)y^3).So, p(x,y) = s [x^3 - x + y - y^3] + t [x^2 y - x y + (2/3)y - (2/3)y^3].Therefore, any polynomial p(x,y) satisfying the given conditions can be written as a linear combination of two basis polynomials:f(x,y) = x^3 - x + y - y^3,g(x,y) = x^2 y - x y + (2/3)y - (2/3)y^3.Hence, the common root (a/c, b/c) must satisfy both f(x,y) = 0 and g(x,y) = 0 for all s and t. Since s and t are arbitrary, the only way p(a/c, b/c) = 0 for all s and t is if both coefficients of s and t in p(a/c, b/c) are zero. Therefore, we need:f(a/c, b/c) = 0,g(a/c, b/c) = 0.So, solving the system:1. (a/c)^3 - (a/c) + (b/c) - (b/c)^3 = 0,2. (a/c)^2 (b/c) - (a/c)(b/c) + (2/3)(b/c) - (2/3)(b/c)^3 = 0.Let me denote x = a/c and y = b/c. Then we have:1. x^3 - x + y - y^3 = 0,2. x^2 y - x y + (2/3)y - (2/3)y^3 = 0.We need to solve this system for x and y, where x and y are rational numbers (since they are a/c and b/c with integer a, b, c), and c > 1, and a and c are coprime.First, let's work with equation 1:x^3 - x + y - y^3 = 0.Let's rearrange:x^3 - y^3 - x + y = 0.Factor the terms:(x^3 - y^3) - (x - y) = 0.Factor x^3 - y^3 as (x - y)(x^2 + x y + y^2), so:(x - y)(x^2 + x y + y^2) - (x - y) = 0.Factor out (x - y):(x - y)[x^2 + x y + y^2 - 1] = 0.Therefore, either x - y = 0 or x^2 + x y + y^2 - 1 = 0.Case 1: x = y.Then, substitute x = y into equation 2:x^2 x - x x + (2/3)x - (2/3)x^3 = 0.Simplify:x^3 - x^2 + (2/3)x - (2/3)x^3 = 0.Combine like terms:(1 - 2/3)x^3 - x^2 + (2/3)x = 0 => (1/3)x^3 - x^2 + (2/3)x = 0.Multiply both sides by 3 to eliminate denominators:x^3 - 3x^2 + 2x = 0.Factor:x(x^2 - 3x + 2) = 0 => x(x - 1)(x - 2) = 0.So, possible solutions x = 0, x = 1, x = 2. Then y = x.But x and y are fractions a/c and b/c where c > 1. Let's check these possibilities.x = 0, y = 0: But (0,0) is already one of the given roots, so the problem says "there is a point" different from those given? Wait, the problem doesn't explicitly say it's different, but the given points include (0,0), (1,0), (-1,0), etc. So, maybe (0,0) is already a root, but the problem states there is another point (a/c, b/c) which must be a root for all such polynomials. However, (0,0) is already given, so we need to check if there is another solution.But let's check:If x = y = 0: already given.If x = y = 1: Check if (1,1) is given. Yes, (1,1) is already in the list. Similarly, x = y = 2: (2,2) is given. Therefore, these are already covered. So, in the case x = y, we only get the given points. So, perhaps the other case is where x ≠ y.Case 2: x ≠ y, so we have x^2 + x y + y^2 - 1 = 0.So, equation (1a): x^2 + x y + y^2 = 1.Now, let's substitute this into equation 2:x^2 y - x y + (2/3)y - (2/3)y^3 = 0.Let me factor y:y [x^2 - x + 2/3 - (2/3)y^2] = 0.So, either y = 0 or the bracket is zero.If y = 0, then from equation (1a):x^2 + 0 + 0 = 1 => x^2 = 1 => x = ±1. Therefore, (1,0) and (-1,0), which are already given. So, no new solutions here.Therefore, we need to consider the case where y ≠ 0 and:x^2 - x + 2/3 - (2/3)y^2 = 0.Multiply both sides by 3 to eliminate denominators:3x^2 - 3x + 2 - 2y^2 = 0.Let me note this as equation (2a): 3x^2 - 3x + 2 - 2y^2 = 0.Now, we have two equations:(1a): x^2 + x y + y^2 = 1,(2a): 3x^2 - 3x + 2 - 2y^2 = 0.Let me try to solve these simultaneously.From equation (1a): x^2 + x y + y^2 = 1.Let me solve equation (2a) for y^2:From (2a): 2y^2 = 3x^2 - 3x + 2 => y^2 = (3x^2 - 3x + 2)/2.Substitute this into equation (1a):x^2 + x y + (3x^2 - 3x + 2)/2 = 1.Multiply through by 2 to eliminate the denominator:2x^2 + 2x y + 3x^2 - 3x + 2 = 2.Simplify:(2x^2 + 3x^2) + (-3x) + (2x y) + (2 - 2) = 0.So:5x^2 - 3x + 2x y = 0.Let me factor x:x(5x - 3 + 2y) = 0.So, either x = 0 or 5x - 3 + 2y = 0.If x = 0, then from equation (1a):0 + 0 + y^2 = 1 => y^2 = 1 => y = ±1. Therefore, (0,1) and (0,-1), which are already given. So, no new solutions here.Therefore, we need to consider 5x - 3 + 2y = 0 => y = (3 - 5x)/2.Now, substitute y = (3 - 5x)/2 into equation (1a):x^2 + x * [(3 - 5x)/2] + [(3 - 5x)/2]^2 = 1.Let's compute each term:First term: x^2.Second term: x*(3 - 5x)/2 = (3x -5x^2)/2.Third term: [(3 - 5x)/2]^2 = (9 - 30x +25x^2)/4.Therefore:x^2 + (3x -5x^2)/2 + (9 -30x +25x^2)/4 = 1.Multiply all terms by 4 to eliminate denominators:4x^2 + 2*(3x -5x^2) + (9 -30x +25x^2) = 4.Expand:4x^2 + 6x -10x^2 +9 -30x +25x^2 = 4.Combine like terms:(4x^2 -10x^2 +25x^2) + (6x -30x) + 9 = 4.That is:19x^2 -24x +9 = 4.Subtract 4:19x^2 -24x +5 = 0.Now, we have a quadratic equation in x:19x^2 -24x +5 = 0.Let's solve for x using the quadratic formula:x = [24 ± sqrt(24^2 - 4*19*5)] / (2*19).Compute discriminant:24^2 = 576,4*19*5 = 380,So discriminant D = 576 - 380 = 196.sqrt(196) = 14.Thus,x = [24 ±14]/38.Therefore,x = (24 +14)/38 = 38/38 = 1,or x = (24 -14)/38 =10/38 =5/19.So, x =1 or x=5/19.But x=1 leads to y = (3 -5*1)/2 = (3 -5)/2 = (-2)/2 = -1.So, (x,y)=(1,-1), which is already given. Therefore, that's not a new solution.The other solution is x=5/19. Then y=(3 -5*(5/19))/2.Compute y:First, 5*(5/19)=25/19,3 = 57/19,So, 57/19 -25/19 =32/19,Then divide by 2: 32/19 /2 =16/19.Therefore, y=16/19.Thus, the point (5/19, 16/19) satisfies both equations. But wait, 5 and 19 are coprime, and 16 and 19 are coprime, and c=19>1. So, this is a candidate.But let's check if this point is indeed a root for all such polynomials. Let's verify it with the expressions for f(x,y) and g(x,y).First, compute f(5/19, 16/19):x^3 -x + y - y^3.Compute each term:x^3 = (5/19)^3 = 125/6859,x =5/19,y=16/19,y^3=(16)^3/19^3=4096/6859.So,f(5/19,16/19) = 125/6859 -5/19 +16/19 -4096/6859.Combine terms:(125 -4096)/6859 + (-5 +16)/19.Compute:(125 -4096) = -3971,(-3971)/6859 +11/19.Simplify:-3971/6859 = -3971/(19*361) = -3971/(19*19^2) = -3971/19^3.Wait, 19^3 = 6859. So, -3971/6859.11/19 = (11*361)/6859 = 3971/6859.Therefore, f(5/19,16/19) = (-3971 +3971)/6859 =0. So, that checks out.Now check g(5/19,16/19):x^2 y -x y + (2/3)y - (2/3)y^3.Compute each term:x^2 y = (25/361)(16/19) = 400/6859,x y = (5/19)(16/19) =80/361,(2/3)y = (2/3)(16/19) =32/57,(2/3)y^3 = (2/3)(4096/6859) =8192/20577.So, convert all terms to have a common denominator of 20577.Compute:400/6859 = (400*3)/(6859*3) =1200/20577,80/361 = (80*57)/(361*57) =4560/20577,32/57 = (32*361)/(57*361) =11552/20577,8192/20577 stays the same.Therefore,g(5/19,16/19) =1200/20577 -4560/20577 +11552/20577 -8192/20577.Combine numerators:1200 -4560 +11552 -8192 = (1200 -4560) + (11552 -8192) = (-3360) +3360=0.Therefore, g(5/19,16/19)=0.So, the point (5/19,16/19) satisfies both f and g, so it must be a root of all such polynomials p(x,y). Since a=5, b=16, c=19, which are positive integers, a and c coprime, c>1. Therefore, the answer is 5+16+19=40.Final Answerboxed{40}</think>Given the cubic polynomial ( p(x, y) ) with the conditions that it vanishes at the points ((0,0)), ((1,0)), ((-1,0)), ((0,1)), ((0,-1)), ((1,1)), ((1,-1)), and ((2,2)), we need to find another point (left(frac{a}{c}, frac{b}{c}right)) that must be a root for all such polynomials.First, we substitute the given points into the polynomial ( p(x, y) ) and derive a system of equations for the coefficients ( a_0, a_1, ldots, a_9 ). Through these substitutions, we find that several coefficients can be expressed in terms of others, leading to the polynomial being written as a linear combination of two basis polynomials:[ p(x, y) = s(x^3 - x + y - y^3) + t(x^2 y - xy + frac{2}{3}y - frac{2}{3}y^3) ]We then need to find a point ((x, y)) that satisfies both basis polynomials. Solving the system of equations derived from these polynomials, we find that the point (left(frac{5}{19}, frac{16}{19}right)) must be a root for all such polynomials. This point is derived by solving the quadratic equation and verifying the solution satisfies both basis polynomials.The final answer, summing the numerators and the denominator (5, 16, and 19), is:[boxed{40}],<think>Okay, let's see. So we have this polynomial p(x, y) which is a cubic polynomial in x and y. The general form is given with coefficients a0 up to a9. The problem states that this polynomial is zero at several points: (0,0), (1,0), (-1,0), (0,1), (0,-1), (1,1), (1,-1), and (2,2). Then there's a point (a/c, b/c) that must be a root of all such polynomials p(x,y), and we need to find a + b + c where a, b, c are positive integers, a and c are coprime, and c > 1.Hmm. So the key here is that regardless of the coefficients a0 to a9 (as long as they satisfy the given zeros), the polynomial must vanish at this particular point (a/c, b/c). Therefore, this point must lie in the intersection of the zero sets of all such polynomials. So our goal is to find such a point that is not one of the given points but still is a common zero for all polynomials that vanish at those eight points.First, let's recall that for a polynomial in two variables, the set of zeros is called an algebraic variety. If we have multiple polynomials, their intersection is the set of common zeros. However, in this case, we are dealing with all polynomials of degree at most three that vanish at those eight points. The intersection of their zero sets would be the common zeros of all such polynomials. So, we need to find another point that is in the intersection of all these varieties.Alternatively, maybe we can think about interpolation. Given that the polynomial is cubic, which has 10 coefficients (a0 to a9). We have 8 conditions here (the zeros at 8 points). Therefore, the space of such polynomials is a linear subspace of dimension 10 - 8 = 2. So, there's a 2-dimensional space of polynomials that vanish at these eight points.Wait, but if we have a 2-dimensional space of polynomials, then their common zeros would be the set of points where all polynomials in that space vanish. This is called the base locus of the linear system. To find the base locus, we need to see if there are other points beyond the given eight that are zeros for all polynomials in that space.Therefore, we can approach this by setting up the system of equations given by p(x,y) = 0 at those eight points and then finding if there's an additional point that must satisfy all such polynomials.Alternatively, maybe we can factor the polynomial p(x,y) in terms of the known roots. Let's see. Since p(x,y) is a cubic polynomial, and we have eight roots, but in two variables, the number of roots isn't as straightforward as in one variable. However, each root gives a linear equation on the coefficients of the polynomial.So perhaps we can write down the system of equations from the given zeros and then find if there's a point that satisfies the remaining constraints.Let me try to set up the equations.Given p(x, y) = a0 + a1x + a2y + a3x² + a4xy + a5y² + a6x³ + a7x²y + a8xy² + a9y³.We have to set p at the given points to zero.First, p(0,0) = 0 gives a0 = 0.Then p(1,0) = 0: substitute x=1, y=0:a0 + a1(1) + a2(0) + a3(1)^2 + a4(1)(0) + a5(0)^2 + a6(1)^3 + a7(1)^2(0) + a8(1)(0)^2 + a9(0)^3 = 0Simplify: a0 + a1 + a3 + a6 = 0. Since a0=0, this becomes a1 + a3 + a6 = 0. Let's note that as equation (1).Similarly, p(-1,0) = 0:a0 + a1(-1) + a2(0) + a3(-1)^2 + a4(-1)(0) + a5(0)^2 + a6(-1)^3 + a7(-1)^2(0) + a8(-1)(0)^2 + a9(0)^3 = 0Simplify: a0 - a1 + a3 - a6 = 0. Again, since a0=0: -a1 + a3 - a6 = 0. Equation (2).Now subtract equation (2) from equation (1):(a1 + a3 + a6) - (-a1 + a3 - a6) = 0 - 0 => 2a1 + 2a6 = 0 => a1 + a6 = 0. So, a1 = -a6.Similarly, add equations (1) and (2):(a1 + a3 + a6) + (-a1 + a3 - a6) = 0 + 0 => 2a3 = 0 => a3 = 0.Thus, from a3=0 and a1 = -a6, so equation (1) becomes -a6 + 0 + a6 = 0, which checks out.So now we know a0=0, a3=0, and a1 = -a6.Next, p(0,1) = 0. Substitute x=0, y=1:a0 + a1(0) + a2(1) + a3(0)^2 + a4(0)(1) + a5(1)^2 + a6(0)^3 + a7(0)^2(1) + a8(0)(1)^2 + a9(1)^3 = 0Simplify: a0 + a2 + a5 + a9 = 0. Since a0=0: a2 + a5 + a9 = 0. Equation (3).Similarly, p(0,-1) = 0:a0 + a1(0) + a2(-1) + a3(0)^2 + a4(0)(-1) + a5(-1)^2 + a6(0)^3 + a7(0)^2(-1) + a8(0)(-1)^2 + a9(-1)^3 = 0Simplify: a0 - a2 + a5 - a9 = 0. Again, a0=0: -a2 + a5 - a9 = 0. Equation (4).Subtract equation (4) from equation (3):(a2 + a5 + a9) - (-a2 + a5 - a9) = 0 - 0 => 2a2 + 2a9 = 0 => a2 + a9 = 0 => a2 = -a9.Add equations (3) and (4):(a2 + a5 + a9) + (-a2 + a5 - a9) = 0 + 0 => 2a5 = 0 => a5 = 0.Thus, a5=0, and from a2 = -a9, equation (3) becomes -a9 + 0 + a9 = 0, which is okay.So now we have a0=0, a3=0, a5=0, a1 = -a6, a2 = -a9.Moving on to p(1,1) = 0. Substitute x=1, y=1.Compute p(1,1):a0 + a1(1) + a2(1) + a3(1)^2 + a4(1)(1) + a5(1)^2 + a6(1)^3 + a7(1)^2(1) + a8(1)(1)^2 + a9(1)^3 = 0Simplify:a0 + a1 + a2 + a3 + a4 + a5 + a6 + a7 + a8 + a9 = 0.But we already know a0=0, a3=0, a5=0. Substitute the known values:0 + a1 + a2 + 0 + a4 + 0 + a6 + a7 + a8 + a9 = 0.We also know a1 = -a6 and a2 = -a9. Substitute those:(-a6) + (-a9) + a4 + a6 + a7 + a8 + a9 = 0.Simplify:(-a6 + a6) + (-a9 + a9) + a4 + a7 + a8 = 0 => 0 + 0 + a4 + a7 + a8 = 0.Thus, a4 + a7 + a8 = 0. Equation (5).Similarly, p(1, -1) = 0. Substitute x=1, y=-1.Compute p(1,-1):a0 + a1(1) + a2(-1) + a3(1)^2 + a4(1)(-1) + a5(-1)^2 + a6(1)^3 + a7(1)^2(-1) + a8(1)(-1)^2 + a9(-1)^3 = 0Simplify:a0 + a1 - a2 + a3 - a4 + a5 + a6 - a7 + a8 - a9 = 0.Again, substitute known values:0 + a1 - a2 + 0 - a4 + 0 + a6 - a7 + a8 - a9 = 0.Substitute a1 = -a6 and a2 = -a9:(-a6) - (-a9) - a4 + a6 - a7 + a8 - a9 = 0.Simplify:(-a6 + a6) + (a9 - a9) + (-a4) - a7 + a8 = 0 => 0 + 0 -a4 -a7 + a8 = 0.Thus, -a4 -a7 + a8 = 0. Equation (6).Now, equations (5) and (6):Equation (5): a4 + a7 + a8 = 0.Equation (6): -a4 -a7 + a8 = 0.Let's add equations (5) and (6):(a4 + a7 + a8) + (-a4 -a7 + a8) = 0 + 0 => 2a8 = 0 => a8 = 0.Then from equation (5): a4 + a7 + 0 = 0 => a4 = -a7.From equation (6): -a4 -a7 + 0 = 0 => -a4 -a7 = 0 => a4 = -a7.So this is consistent, and we have a8 = 0, a4 = -a7.So far, our coefficients are:a0 = 0,a1 = -a6,a2 = -a9,a3 = 0,a4 = -a7,a5 = 0,a8 = 0.So remaining variables are a6, a7, a9, and the coefficients already expressed in terms of these.Now, next condition: p(2,2) = 0. Let's substitute x=2, y=2.Compute p(2,2):a0 + a1(2) + a2(2) + a3(2)^2 + a4(2)(2) + a5(2)^2 + a6(2)^3 + a7(2)^2(2) + a8(2)(2)^2 + a9(2)^3 = 0.Simplify term by term:a0 + 2a1 + 2a2 + 4a3 + 4a4 + 4a5 + 8a6 + 8a7 + 16a8 + 8a9.Substituting known values:0 + 2a1 + 2a2 + 0 + 4a4 + 0 + 8a6 + 8a7 + 0 + 8a9 = 0.Now substitute a1 = -a6, a2 = -a9, a4 = -a7:2*(-a6) + 2*(-a9) + 4*(-a7) + 8a6 + 8a7 + 8a9 = 0.Compute each term:-2a6 -2a9 -4a7 +8a6 +8a7 +8a9.Combine like terms:(-2a6 +8a6) + (-2a9 +8a9) + (-4a7 +8a7) =6a6 +6a9 +4a7 = 0.Divide both sides by 2:3a6 + 3a9 + 2a7 = 0. Equation (7).So now, our remaining variables are a6, a7, a9, and we have one equation (7) relating them: 3a6 + 3a9 + 2a7 = 0.But since we have a 2-dimensional space (initially 10 coefficients, 8 equations, so 2 remaining), but we have three variables a6, a7, a9. Wait, let me check.Wait, from the previous substitutions, the coefficients are expressed in terms of a6, a7, a9. But equation (7) is the only remaining equation. So, the dimension of the solution space is 3 - 1 = 2. So, we have two parameters. Let's confirm:Yes, variables are a6, a7, a9. From equation (7): 3a6 + 3a9 + 2a7 = 0. So we can solve for one variable in terms of the other two. For example, a7 = -(3a6 + 3a9)/2.Therefore, the general solution can be written as:a6 = s,a9 = t,a7 = -(3s + 3t)/2,where s and t are parameters.Therefore, all coefficients can be expressed in terms of s and t.So let's write down all coefficients:a0 = 0,a1 = -a6 = -s,a2 = -a9 = -t,a3 = 0,a4 = -a7 = (3s + 3t)/2,a5 = 0,a6 = s,a7 = -(3s + 3t)/2,a8 = 0,a9 = t.Therefore, the polynomial p(x, y) can be written in terms of s and t:p(x, y) = (-s)x + (-t)y + ( (3s + 3t)/2 )xy + s x³ + ( - (3s + 3t)/2 )x² y + t y³.Let me factor out s and t terms:p(x, y) = s [ -x + (3/2)xy + x³ - (3/2)x² y ] + t [ -y + (3/2)xy + y³ - (3/2)x² y ].Let me check:Yes, the coefficients for s are:a1 = -s,a4 = (3s)/2,a6 = s,a7 = -(3s)/2,Similarly for t:a2 = -t,a4 = (3t)/2,a7 = -(3t)/2,a9 = t.So, we can write p(x, y) as s * P(x,y) + t * Q(x,y), whereP(x, y) = -x + (3/2)xy + x³ - (3/2)x² y,Q(x, y) = -y + (3/2)xy + y³ - (3/2)x² y.So, the general polynomial is a linear combination of P and Q. Therefore, any polynomial vanishing at the given eight points is of the form sP + tQ for some s and t.Now, we need to find a point (a/c, b/c) that is a root of all such polynomials. That is, for all s and t, p(a/c, b/c) = 0.Therefore, substituting x = a/c, y = b/c into sP + tQ must be zero for all s and t. Therefore, the coefficients of s and t in the expression must each be zero. So, we have two equations:P(a/c, b/c) = 0,Q(a/c, b/c) = 0.Therefore, we need to solve the system:1. -x + (3/2)xy + x³ - (3/2)x² y = 0,2. -y + (3/2)xy + y³ - (3/2)x² y = 0.Let me denote x = a/c and y = b/c for simplicity.So, substitute into first equation:-x + (3/2)xy + x³ - (3/2)x² y = 0.Similarly for the second equation.So, let's write these equations out:Equation (1): -x + (3/2)xy + x³ - (3/2)x² y = 0,Equation (2): -y + (3/2)xy + y³ - (3/2)x² y = 0.We can factor these equations. Let me look at equation (1):Factor terms:- x + x³ + (3/2)xy - (3/2)x² y.Factor x from the first two terms:x(-1 + x²) + (3/2)x y (1 - x).Similarly, note that -1 + x² = -(1 - x²) = -(1 - x)(1 + x). Wait, perhaps factor differently.Alternatively, group terms:x³ - x + (3/2)xy - (3/2)x² y.Factor x from first two terms:x(x² - 1) + (3/2)x y (1 - x).Factor x:x[ (x² - 1) + (3/2) y (1 - x) ].Similarly, x² - 1 = (x - 1)(x + 1). Maybe not helpful. Let's see.Alternatively, factor out x:x[ x² - 1 + (3/2)y(1 - x) ].Similarly, equation (2):-y + y³ + (3/2)xy - (3/2)x² y.Factor y from first two terms:y(-1 + y²) + (3/2)y x (1 - x).Factor y:y[ -1 + y² + (3/2)x(1 - x) ].Hmm. So equations (1) and (2) are:Equation (1): x[ x² - 1 + (3/2)y(1 - x) ] = 0,Equation (2): y[ -1 + y² + (3/2)x(1 - x) ] = 0.We need to find (x, y) not equal to the given points, so x and y are not 0,1,-1, etc. So we can ignore the solutions where x=0 or y=0, because those are already given. Therefore, we can focus on the non-trivial factors:From equation (1):x² - 1 + (3/2)y(1 - x) = 0,From equation (2):-1 + y² + (3/2)x(1 - x) = 0.So we have the system:1. x² - 1 + (3/2)y(1 - x) = 0,2. -1 + y² + (3/2)x(1 - x) = 0.We can write these as:1. x² - 1 + (3/2)y(1 - x) = 0,2. y² - 1 + (3/2)x(1 - x) = 0.Hmm, symmetric in some way? Let's see.Let me denote equation (1) as:x² - 1 = - (3/2)y(1 - x),and equation (2) as:y² - 1 = - (3/2)x(1 - x).So, both right-hand sides involve terms with (1 - x) and (1 - y)? Wait, not exactly.But note that equation (1) relates x² -1 to y and x, and equation (2) relates y² -1 to x and x(1 - x). Maybe we can solve for y from equation (1) and substitute into equation (2).From equation (1):x² - 1 = - (3/2)y(1 - x),Multiply both sides by -2/(3(1 - x)):y = [ -2/(3(1 - x)) ] (x² - 1 )But x² - 1 = (x -1)(x +1), so:y = [ -2/(3(1 - x)) ] (x -1)(x +1 )Note that (x -1)(1 - x) = -(1 - x)^2, but here we have (x -1)(x +1)/(1 -x) = -(x +1). Therefore:y = [ -2/3 ] * [ (x -1)(x +1) / (1 - x) ) ] = [ -2/3 ] * [ - (x +1) ) ] = [ -2/3 ] * [ - (x +1) ] = (2/3)(x +1).So, y = (2/3)(x +1).So that's an expression for y in terms of x.Now substitute this into equation (2):y² -1 + (3/2)x(1 -x ) = 0.Substitute y = (2/3)(x +1):[ (2/3)^2 (x +1)^2 -1 ] + (3/2)x(1 -x ) = 0.Compute:First term: (4/9)(x +1)^2 -1,Second term: (3/2)x(1 -x ).So:(4/9)(x² + 2x +1) -1 + (3/2)x(1 -x ) = 0.Expand:(4/9)x² + (8/9)x + 4/9 -1 + (3/2)x - (3/2)x² = 0.Simplify each term:Convert 4/9 x²,8/9 x,4/9 -1 = 4/9 - 9/9 = -5/9,(3/2)x,- (3/2)x².Combine like terms:x² terms: (4/9) - (3/2) = (8/18 - 27/18) = (-19/18),x terms: (8/9) + (3/2) = (16/18 + 27/18) = 43/18,Constant term: -5/9.So overall:(-19/18)x² + (43/18)x -5/9 = 0.Multiply both sides by 18 to eliminate denominators:-19x² + 43x -10 = 0.Multiply by -1:19x² -43x +10 =0.Now, solve this quadratic equation for x.Compute discriminant D = (-43)^2 -4*19*10 = 1849 -760 = 1089.sqrt(1089)=33.Thus, solutions are x = [43 ±33]/(2*19).So,x = (43 +33)/38 =76/38 = 2,x = (43 -33)/38 =10/38 =5/19.So, x=2 or x=5/19.But x=2 is one of the given points (2,2). But we need a new point not listed. Therefore, the other solution is x=5/19.Then, y = (2/3)(x +1) = (2/3)(5/19 +1) = (2/3)(24/19) = 48/57 = 16/19.Therefore, the point is (5/19, 16/19).Wait, let's check if this is correct.First, check if x=5/19, y=16/19 satisfies the original equations.From equation (1):x² -1 + (3/2)y(1 -x ) = (25/361 -1) + (3/2)(16/19)(1 -5/19).Compute 25/361 -1 = (25 -361)/361 = (-336)/361.Then, (3/2)(16/19)(14/19) = (3/2)(224/361) = 336/361.Thus, total: (-336 + 336)/361 =0. Correct.Equation (2):y² -1 + (3/2)x(1 -x ) = (256/361 -1) + (3/2)(5/19)(1 -5/19).Compute 256/361 -1 = (-105)/361.Then, (3/2)(5/19)(14/19) = (3/2)(70/361) =105/361.Total: (-105 +105)/361=0. Correct.So, yes, (5/19, 16/19) is a solution. However, we need to confirm that this point is not one of the given points. The given points are (0,0), (1,0), (-1,0), (0,1), (0,-1), (1,1), (1,-1), (2,2). Since 5/19 and 16/19 are not integers and the denominators are 19, which is different from 1 or 2, this is a new point. Therefore, this must be the point (a/c, b/c) where a=5, b=16, c=19. Check that 5 and 19 are coprime (they are, since 19 is prime and doesn't divide 5). Also, c=19>1. So this satisfies all conditions. Therefore, a+b+c=5+16+19=40.But wait, the problem statement says "there is a point (a/c, b/c)" which is a root for all such polynomials. So according to our calculations, this point is (5/19, 16/19), so a=5, b=16, c=19. Therefore, a+b+c=5+16+19=40.But before finalizing, let's confirm that this point is indeed a root for all polynomials in that 2-dimensional space. Since we derived it from the equations P(x,y)=0 and Q(x,y)=0, and any polynomial in the space is a linear combination of P and Q, then yes, this point would satisfy sP + tQ=0 for all s, t. Therefore, it must vanish at that point. Therefore, the answer is 5+16+19=40.Final Answerboxed{40}</think>Given the polynomial ( p(x, y) ) of degree 3, we know it vanishes at the points ((0,0)), ((1,0)), ((-1,0)), ((0,1)), ((0,-1)), ((1,1)), ((1,-1)), and ((2,2)). We need to find a point (left(frac{a}{c}, frac{b}{c}right)) that is a root of all such polynomials ( p(x, y) ).First, we substitute the given points into the polynomial ( p(x, y) ) and derive the following conditions on the coefficients:- ( p(0,0) = 0 ) implies ( a_0 = 0 ).- ( p(1,0) = 0 ) and ( p(-1,0) = 0 ) lead to ( a_1 = -a_6 ) and ( a_3 = 0 ).- ( p(0,1) = 0 ) and ( p(0,-1) = 0 ) lead to ( a_2 = -a_9 ) and ( a_5 = 0 ).- ( p(1,1) = 0 ) and ( p(1,-1) = 0 ) lead to ( a_4 = -a_7 ) and ( a_8 = 0 ).- ( p(2,2) = 0 ) results in the equation ( 3a_6 + 3a_9 + 2a_7 = 0 ).Expressing the polynomial in terms of the remaining coefficients ( a_6, a_7, a_9 ), we find that the polynomial can be written as a linear combination of two polynomials ( P(x, y) ) and ( Q(x, y) ):[ P(x, y) = -x + frac{3}{2}xy + x^3 - frac{3}{2}x^2y ][ Q(x, y) = -y + frac{3}{2}xy + y^3 - frac{3}{2}x^2y ]We solve the system of equations derived from ( P(x, y) = 0 ) and ( Q(x, y) = 0 ):1. ( x^2 - 1 + frac{3}{2}y(1 - x) = 0 )2. ( y^2 - 1 + frac{3}{2}x(1 - x) = 0 )Solving these equations, we find the point (left(frac{5}{19}, frac{16}{19}right)). This point is verified to satisfy both equations and is not one of the given points.Thus, the values are ( a = 5 ), ( b = 16 ), and ( c = 19 ). Therefore, ( a + b + c = 5 + 16 + 19 = 40 ).[boxed{40}]]

🔑:Solution 1begin{align*} p(0,0) &= a_0 &= 0 p(1,0) &= a_0 + a_1 + a_3 + a_6 &= a_1 + a_3 + a_6 &= 0 p(-1,0) &= -a_1 + a_3 - a_6 &= 0 end{align*}Adding the above two equations gives a_3 = 0, and so we can deduce that a_6 = -a_1.Similarly, plugging in (0,1) and (0,-1) gives a_5 = 0 and a_9 = -a_2. Now,begin{align*} p(1,1) &= a_0 + a_1 + a_2 + a_3 + a_4 + a_5 + a_6 + a_7 + a_8 + a_9 &= 0 + a_1 + a_2 + 0 + a_4 + 0 - a_1 + a_7 + a_8 - a_2 &= a_4 + a_7 + a_8 &= 0 p(1,-1) &= a_0 + a_1 - a_2 + 0 - a_4 + 0 - a_1 - a_7 + a_8 + a_2 &= -a_4 - a_7 + a_8 &= 0 end{align*}Therefore a_8 = 0 and a_7 = -a_4. Finally,begin{align*} p(2,2) &= 0 + 2a_1 + 2a_2 + 0 + 4a_4 + 0 - 8a_1 - 8a_4 +0 - 8a_2 &= -6 a_1 - 6 a_2 - 4 a_4 &= 0 end{align*}So, 3a_1 + 3a_2 + 2a_4 = 0, or equivalently a_4 = -frac{3(a_1 + a_2)}{2}.Substituting these equations into the original polynomial p, we find that at left(frac{a}{c}, frac{b}{c}right),[a_1x + a_2y + a_4xy - a_1x^3 - a_4x^2y - a_2y^3 = 0 iff][a_1x + a_2y - frac{3(a_1 + a_2)}{2}xy - a_1x^3 + frac{3(a_1 + a_2)}{2}x^2y - a_2y^3 = 0 iff][a_1x(x - 1)left(x + 1 - frac{3}{2}yright) + a_2yleft(y^2 - 1 - frac{3}{2}x(x - 1)right) = 0].The remaining coefficients a_1 and a_2 are now completely arbitrary because the original equations impose no more restrictions on them. Hence, for the final equation to hold for all possible p, we must have x(x - 1)left(x + 1 - frac{3}{2}yright) = yleft(y^2 - 1 - frac{3}{2}x(x - 1)right) = 0. As the answer format implies that the x-coordinate of the root is non-integral, x(x - 1)left(x + 1 - frac{3}{2}yright) = 0 iff x + 1 - frac{3}{2}y = 0 iff y = frac{2}{3}(x + 1) (1). The format also implies that y is positive, so yleft(y^2 - 1 - frac{3}{2}x(x - 1)right) = 0 iff y^2 - 1 - frac{3}{2}x(x - 1) = 0 (2). Substituting (1) into (2) and reducing to a quadratic yields (19x - 5)(x - 2) = 0, in which the only non-integral root is x = frac{5}{19}, so y = frac{16}{19}.The answer is 5 + 16 + 19 = boxed{040}.Solution 2Consider the cross section of z = p(x, y) on the plane z = 0. We realize that we could construct the lines/curves in the cross section such that their equations multiply to match the form of p(x, y) and they go over the eight given points. A simple way to do this would be to use the equations x = 0, x = 1, and y = frac{2}{3}x + frac{2}{3}, giving us p_1(x, y) = xleft(x - 1right)left( frac{2}{3}x - y + frac{2}{3}right) = frac{2}{3}x + xy + frac{2}{3}x^3-x^2y.Another way to do this would to use the line y = x and the ellipse, x^2 + xy + y^2 = 1. This would givep_2(x, y) = left(x - yright)left(x^2 + xy + y^2 - 1right) = -x + y + x^3 - y^3.At this point, we see that p_1 and p_2 both must have left(frac{a}{c}, frac{b}{c}right) as a zero. A quick graph of the 4 lines and the ellipse used to create p_1 and p_2 gives nine intersection points. Eight of them are the given ones, and the ninth is left(frac{5}{9}, frac{16}{9}right). The last intersection point can be found by finding the intersection points of y = frac{2}{3}x + frac{2}{3} and x^2 + xy + y^2 = 1.Finally, just add the values of a, b, and c to get 5 + 16 + 19 = boxed{040}
