Problem 1

Let x1=97x_1 = 97 , and for n>1n > 1 let xn=nxn−1x_n = \frac{n}{x_{n - 1}} . Calculate the product x1x2⋯x8x_1 x_2 \dotsm x_8 .

Problem 2

When a right triangle is rotated about one leg, the volume of the cone produced is 800π800 \pi cm3\text{cm}^3 . When the triangle is rotated about the other leg, the volume of the cone produced is 1920π1920 \pi cm3\text{cm}^3 . What is the length (in cm) of the hypotenuse of the triangle?

Problem 4

A small square is constructed inside a square of area 1 by dividing each side of the unit square into nn equal parts, and then connecting the vertices to the division points closest to the opposite vertices. Find the value of nn if the the area of the small square is exactly 1/1985.
