Consider all polynomials of a complex variable, P(z)=4z4+az3+bz2+cz+dP(z)=4z^4+az^3+bz^2+cz+d, where a,b,c,a,b,c, and dd are integers, 0≤d≤c≤b≤a≤40\le d\le c\le b\le a\le 4, and the polynomial has a zero z0z_0 with ∣z0∣=1.|z_0|=1. What is the sum of all values P(1)P(1) over all the polynomials with these properties?

Define the function f1f_1 on the positive integers by setting f1(1)=1f_1(1)=1 and if n=p1e1p2e2⋯pkekn=p_1^{e_1}p_2^{e_2}\cdots p_k^{e_k} is the prime factorization of n>1n>1, then f1(n)=(p1+1)e1−1(p2+1)e2−1⋯(pk+1)ek−1.f_1(n)=(p_1+1)^{e_1-1}(p_2+1)^{e_2-1}\cdots (p_k+1)^{e_k-1}. For every m≥2m\ge 2, let fm(n)=f1(fm−1(n))f_m(n)=f_1(f_{m-1}(n)). For how many NNs in the range 1≤N≤4001\le N\le 400 is the sequence (f1(N),f2(N),f3(N),… )(f_1(N),f_2(N),f_3(N),\dots ) unbounded?

'''Note:''' A sequence of positive numbers is unbounded if for every integer BB, there is a member of the sequence greater than BB.

Problem 25

  • Paper

Let S={(x,y):x∈{0,1,2,3,4},y∈{0,1,2,3,4,5}, and (x,y)≠(0,0)}S=\{(x,y) : x\in \{0,1,2,3,4\}, y\in \{0,1,2,3,4,5\},\text{ and } (x,y)\ne (0,0)\}. Let TT be the set of all right triangles whose vertices are in SS. For every right triangle t=△ABCt=\triangle{ABC} with vertices AA, BB, and CC in counter-clockwise order and right angle at AA, let f(t)=tan⁡(∠CBA)f(t)=\tan(\angle{CBA}). What is ∏t∈Tf(t)?\prod_{t\in T} f(t)?
