❓:Without performing division, determine if:a) The number 5641713 is divisible by 29;b) The number 1379235 is divisible by 11.

🧠:Okay, so I need to figure out if these two numbers are divisible by 29 and 11 respectively without doing division. Let me start with part a) first: Is 5641713 divisible by 29?Hmm, I remember that there are divisibility rules for certain numbers, but 29 isn't one of the common ones like 2, 3, 5, 9, or 11. Maybe I need to use a different method. Wait, maybe I can use modular arithmetic? If I can find the remainder when 5641713 is divided by 29, then I can see if it's zero. But how do I do that without actually dividing?Another thought: Maybe break down the number digit by digit and compute modulo 29 step by step. Let me recall how that works. For a number N = d_1 d_2 ... d_n, the remainder modulo 29 can be calculated by iteratively multiplying the current remainder by 10 and adding the next digit, then taking modulo 29 each time. Let me try that.So starting with 5:First digit: 5Remainder: 5 % 29 = 5Next digit: 6Compute (5 * 10 + 6) = 5656 % 29 = 56 - 29 = 27Next digit: 4Compute (27 * 10 + 4) = 274274 % 29: Let's see, 29*9 = 261, so 274 - 261 = 13Next digit: 1Compute (13 * 10 + 1) = 131131 % 29: 29*4=116, 131-116=15Next digit: 7Compute (15 *10 +7)=157157%29: 29*5=145, 157-145=12Next digit:1Compute (12*10 +1)=121121%29: 29*4=116, 121-116=5Next digit:3Compute (5*10 +3)=5353%29=53-29=24So the remainder is 24, which is not zero. Therefore, 5641713 is not divisible by 29. Wait, but let me check my calculations step by step again to make sure I didn't make a mistake.Starting with 5: 55*10+6=56; 56-29=27 (correct)27*10+4=274; 274-29*9=274-261=13 (correct)13*10+1=131; 131-116=15 (correct)15*10+7=157; 157-145=12 (correct)12*10+1=121; 121-116=5 (correct)5*10+3=53; 53-29=24 (correct). Yeah, so remainder is 24. Therefore, not divisible. So part a) answer is no.Now part b): Is 1379235 divisible by 11?Ah, this one has a standard divisibility rule, right? For 11, you subtract the sum of the digits in the odd positions from the sum of the digits in the even positions, and if the result is a multiple of 11 (including zero), then the number is divisible by 11.Let me recall the exact rule. Let me confirm: For a number, starting from the right (units digit), alternately add and subtract the digits. But sometimes it's taught from the left. Wait, actually, different sources might present it differently. Wait, better to check.The standard rule is: Take the alternating sum of the digits. That is, subtract the second digit from the first, add the third, subtract the fourth, and so on. If the result is a multiple of 11 (including zero), then the number is divisible by 11. Alternatively, another version is to take the sum of digits in odd positions and subtract the sum of digits in even positions. If that difference is divisible by 11, then so is the number.Let me test both methods on a known number. For example, 121: sum of odd positions (1 + 1) = 2, sum of even positions (2) = 2. Difference is 0, which is divisible by 11. Correct. Similarly, 121: 1 - 2 + 1 = 0, which is divisible by 11. So both methods work.So for 1379235, let's apply the rule. Let's index the digits from left to right as positions 1 to 7.Number: 1 (pos1), 3 (pos2), 7 (pos3), 9 (pos4), 2 (pos5), 3 (pos6), 5 (pos7)Sum of odd positions (1,7,2,5): 1 + 7 + 2 + 5 = 15Sum of even positions (3,9,3): 3 + 9 + 3 = 15Difference: 15 - 15 = 0, which is divisible by 11. Therefore, the number is divisible by 11.Alternatively, using the alternating sum method:Starting from the left: 1 - 3 + 7 - 9 + 2 - 3 + 5Compute step by step:1 -3 = -2-2 +7 =55 -9 = -4-4 +2 = -2-2 -3 = -5-5 +5 =0. So 0 is divisible by 11. Therefore, yes, 1379235 is divisible by 11.Wait, just to be thorough, let me check my addition again.Odd positions: positions 1,3,5,7: digits 1,7,2,5. 1+7=8, 8+2=10, 10+5=15. Correct.Even positions: positions 2,4,6: digits 3,9,3. 3+9=12, 12+3=15. Correct. 15-15=0. Correct.Alternatively, the alternating sum: 1 -3 +7 -9 +2 -3 +51 -3 = -2-2 +7 =55 -9 = -4-4 +2 = -2-2 -3 = -5-5 +5 =0. Yep, same result.Therefore, 1379235 is divisible by 11.So final answers: a) No, b) Yes.

❓:Find the level surfaces of the function ( y = sqrt{36 - x_{1}^{2} - x_{2}^{2} - x_{3}^{2}} ) and the value of the function at the point ( P(1, 1, 3) ).

🧠:Okay, so I need to find the level surfaces of the function ( y = sqrt{36 - x_{1}^{2} - x_{2}^{2} - x_{3}^{2}} ) and also evaluate the function at the point ( P(1, 1, 3) ). Let me start by recalling what level surfaces are. Level surfaces are the sets of points in three-dimensional space where the function ( y ) has a constant value. In other words, for a fixed ( c ), the level surface is all points ( (x_1, x_2, x_3) ) such that ( sqrt{36 - x_{1}^{2} - x_{2}^{2} - x_{3}^{2}} = c ). First, I should probably square both sides of the equation to eliminate the square root. That would give me ( 36 - x_{1}^{2} - x_{2}^{2} - x_{3}^{2} = c^2 ). Rearranging terms, this becomes ( x_{1}^{2} + x_{2}^{2} + x_{3}^{2} = 36 - c^2 ). Hmm, this looks familiar. The equation ( x_{1}^{2} + x_{2}^{2} + x_{3}^{2} = r^2 ) is the standard form of a sphere with radius ( r ) centered at the origin in three-dimensional space. So, in this case, the level surfaces are spheres with radius ( sqrt{36 - c^2} ), right?But wait, there's a catch here. The original function ( y = sqrt{36 - x_{1}^{2} - x_{2}^{2} - x_{3}^{2}} ) must have a non-negative argument inside the square root. So, ( 36 - x_{1}^{2} - x_{2}^{2} - x_{3}^{2} geq 0 ), which implies that ( x_{1}^{2} + x_{2}^{2} + x_{3}^{2} leq 36 ). This means that the domain of the function is all points inside or on the sphere of radius 6 centered at the origin. Therefore, the possible values of ( c ) must satisfy ( c geq 0 ) (since a square root is always non-negative) and ( 36 - c^2 geq 0 ), so ( c^2 leq 36 ), which implies ( c leq 6 ). Therefore, ( c ) is in the interval [0, 6].So, for each ( c ) between 0 and 6, the level surface is a sphere of radius ( sqrt{36 - c^2} ) centered at the origin. When ( c = 6 ), the radius becomes ( sqrt{36 - 36} = 0 ), so the level surface is just the origin. When ( c = 0 ), the radius is ( sqrt{36 - 0} = 6 ), which is the boundary of the domain. For values of ( c ) between 0 and 6, we get spheres with radii decreasing from 6 to 0 as ( c ) increases.Now, moving on to evaluating the function at the point ( P(1, 1, 3) ). Let me substitute ( x_1 = 1 ), ( x_2 = 1 ), and ( x_3 = 3 ) into the function. So,( y = sqrt{36 - (1)^2 - (1)^2 - (3)^2} ).Calculating the squares: 1, 1, and 9. Adding those up: 1 + 1 + 9 = 11. Then, subtracting from 36: 36 - 11 = 25. Taking the square root of 25 gives 5. So, the value of the function at point P is 5.Wait a second, let me double-check that calculation to make sure I didn't make any arithmetic errors. The coordinates are 1, 1, 3. Squaring each: 1, 1, 9. Sum: 1 + 1 is 2, plus 9 is 11. 36 minus 11 is indeed 25. Square root of 25 is 5. Yep, that seems right.Also, just to confirm that the point P is within the domain of the function. The sum of the squares is 11, which is less than 36, so the point is inside the sphere of radius 6. Therefore, the function is defined there, and the value is indeed 5.So, summarizing the level surfaces: they are spheres centered at the origin with radii ranging from 0 to 6, corresponding to values of ( c ) from 6 to 0. Wait, that seems counterintuitive. When ( c = 0 ), the radius is 6, and as ( c ) increases up to 6, the radius decreases to 0. So, higher values of ( c ) correspond to smaller spheres closer to the origin, and lower values of ( c ) correspond to larger spheres. That makes sense because as the radius of the sphere increases, the value inside the square root (which is ( 36 - text{(sum of squares)} )) decreases, hence ( c ) decreases. Wait, no. Wait, if the sum of squares is fixed (as on a sphere), then ( c ) is fixed. So, a larger sphere (larger radius) would correspond to a smaller ( c ), because the sum of squares is larger, so ( 36 - text{sum} ) is smaller, hence ( c ) is smaller. Conversely, a smaller sphere (smaller radius) corresponds to a larger ( c ). So, as ( c ) increases from 0 to 6, the radius of the level surface decreases from 6 to 0. Yes, that seems correct.Let me think of an example. Suppose ( c = 0 ). Then the level surface is ( x_{1}^{2} + x_{2}^{2} + x_{3}^{2} = 36 ), which is a sphere of radius 6. If ( c = 3 ), then the radius is ( sqrt{36 - 9} = sqrt{27} = 3sqrt{3} approx 5.196 ). So, the radius is smaller than 6. If ( c = 6 ), the radius is 0. So, yes, that checks out. So, the level surfaces are nested spheres inside each other, starting from radius 6 when ( c = 0 ) and shrinking to a point at the origin when ( c = 6 ).Therefore, to answer the question: the level surfaces are spheres centered at the origin with radii ( sqrt{36 - c^2} ), where ( c ) is the constant value of the function. And the value at point P(1, 1, 3) is 5. Just to ensure I didn't miss anything, let me re-express the level surface equation. Starting from ( y = c ), then squaring gives ( c^2 = 36 - x_{1}^{2} - x_{2}^{2} - x_{3}^{2} ), leading to ( x_{1}^{2} + x_{2}^{2} + x_{3}^{2} = 36 - c^2 ). So, each level surface is a sphere with radius ( sqrt{36 - c^2} ). Another way to write the radius is ( sqrt{36 - c^2} ), which can also be written as ( sqrt{(6)^2 - c^2} ). That expression only makes sense if ( 36 - c^2 geq 0 ), which we already established. So, everything seems consistent.Regarding the point P(1,1,3): substituting into the function gives 5, which is within the valid range of the function (since 5 is between 0 and 6). All steps seem to check out. I think that's all there is to it.

✅:The level surfaces of the function ( y = sqrt{36 - x_{1}^{2} - x_{2}^{2} - x_{3}^{2}} ) are determined by setting ( y = c ) for constants ( c in [0, 6] ). Squaring both sides gives:[c^2 = 36 - x_{1}^{2} - x_{2}^{2} - x_{3}^{2} implies x_{1}^{2} + x_{2}^{2} + x_{3}^{2} = 36 - c^2.]This represents spheres centered at the origin with radius ( sqrt{36 - c^2} ). As ( c ) increases from 0 to 6, the radius decreases from 6 to 0, forming nested spheres within the domain ( x_{1}^{2} + x_{2}^{2} + x_{3}^{2} leq 36 ).For the point ( P(1, 1, 3) ):[y = sqrt{36 - (1)^2 - (1)^2 - (3)^2} = sqrt{36 - 1 - 1 - 9} = sqrt{25} = 5.]Final Answers: - Level Surfaces: Spheres centered at the origin with radius ( sqrt{36 - c^2} ) for ( c in [0, 6] ). - Value at ( P(1, 1, 3) ): ( boxed{5} ).

🔑:1. Identify the Level Surfaces: Given the function: [ y = sqrt{36 - x_1^2 - x_2^2 - x_3^2} ] We find the level surfaces by setting ( y ) to a constant ( C ) where ( C geq 0 ). This gives us: [ sqrt{36 - x_1^2 - x_2^2 - x_3^2} = C ] 2. Square Both Sides: To eliminate the square root, we square both sides: [ 36 - x_1^2 - x_2^2 - x_3^2 = C^2 ] 3. Rearrange the Equation: Rearranging the above equation to isolate the terms involving ( x_1, x_2, ) and ( x_3 ): [ x_1^2 + x_2^2 + x_3^2 = 36 - C^2 ]4. Analyze the Result: The equation [ x_1^2 + x_2^2 + x_3^2 = 36 - C^2 ] represents a sphere in Cartesian coordinates with its center at the origin ((0,0,0)) and a radius of (sqrt{36 - C^2}). The value of (C) must satisfy: [ 0 leq C leq 6 ] When (C = 6), the surface degenerates to a single point at the origin.5. Calculate the Value of the Function at Point P(1, 1, 3): To find the value of the function ( y ) at the point ( P(1, 1, 3) ), substitute ( x_1 = 1 ), ( x_2 = 1 ), and ( x_3 = 3 ) into the function: [ y = sqrt{36 - 1^2 - 1^2 - 3^2} ] Simplify the calculations: [ y = sqrt{36 - 1 - 1 - 9} ] [ y = sqrt{36 - 11} ] [ y = sqrt{25} ] [ y = 5 ] Conclusion:[boxed{5}]

❓:Petya counted the number of all possible m-letter words, which can only use the four letters T, O, W, and N, and in each word, the letters T and O appear equally. Vasya counted the number of all possible 2m-letter words, which can only use the two letters T and O, and in each word, these letters appear equally. Who has more words? (A word is any sequence of letters.)

🧠:Okay, let's try to tackle this problem. So, Petya and Vasya both counted some words with certain conditions. I need to figure out who counted more words. Let me start by understanding each part of the problem step by step.First, Petya's task: She counts all possible m-letter words using the letters T, O, W, and N. The condition is that in each word, the letters T and O appear equally. So, each word has exactly m letters, and the number of Ts equals the number of Os. The other two letters, W and N, can be used any number of times, right? Wait, but the problem says "the letters T and O appear equally." Does that mean the counts of T and O are equal, but W and N can be anything? Or does it mean that all four letters must appear equally? Hmm, the wording says "the letters T and O appear equally," so probably just T and O have to be equal in count, and W and N can be any number. So, for example, if m is 2, a valid word would be TO, which has one T and one O, or WT, which has one W and one T—wait, no, that's only one T and no O. Wait, no. If it's a 2-letter word, T and O must each appear once? Wait, 2 letters, so total letters T and O must be equal. But 2 letters can't have equal numbers unless each is 1. So, for m=2, the valid words would be those with exactly one T and one O, but the other letters can't be there? Wait, no. Wait, the problem says "the letters T and O appear equally." So, the count of T's equals the count of O's. But the other letters W and N can be present as well. So, for an m-letter word, the number of Ts equals the number of Os, and the remaining letters (m - 2k) can be W or N. Wait, let me rephrase.Let's formalize this. For Petya's count: Each word is of length m. The letters are T, O, W, N. The number of Ts must equal the number of Os. So, suppose the word has k Ts and k Os, where k can be from 0 up to floor(m/2). Then, the remaining m - 2k letters are either W or N. So, for each k, the number of such words is C(m, k) * C(m - k, k) * 2^{m - 2k}. Wait, no. Wait, first choose positions for the Ts and Os, then the remaining positions can be W or N.Alternatively, the total number of words is the sum over k from 0 to floor(m/2) of [ (number of ways to choose positions for T and O) multiplied by (number of ways to assign W and N to the remaining positions) ].Wait, more precisely: For each k, where k is the number of Ts (and also Os, since they have to be equal), we need to choose k positions out of m for Ts, then k positions out of the remaining (m - k) for Os. But wait, that would be C(m, k) * C(m - k, k). Then the remaining m - 2k positions can be filled with either W or N, which is 2^{m - 2k} possibilities. So, the total number for each k is C(m, k) * C(m - k, k) * 2^{m - 2k}. Then, sum over all possible k. But wait, k can be from 0 to floor(m/2). For example, if m is even, the maximum k is m/2. If m is odd, it's (m-1)/2. So, Petya's total is the sum from k=0 to floor(m/2) of [ C(m, k) * C(m - k, k) * 2^{m - 2k} ].Hmm, that seems a bit complicated. Let me check for a small m. Let's say m=2. Then, possible k: 0 and 1.For k=0: All letters are W or N. So, number of words is 2^2 = 4.For k=1: Choose 1 position for T and 1 position for O. The number of ways is C(2,1)*C(1,1) = 2*1=2. Then, the remaining 0 positions, so 2^0=1. So total for k=1: 2*1=2. So, total words for Petya: 4 + 2 = 6.But wait, let's list them. If m=2, possible words where T and O counts are equal. So, either both are 0 (so WW, WN, NW, NN) which is 4 words, or one T and one O. The words with one T and one O are TO, OT, TW, WT, OW, WO, TN, NT, ON, NO... Wait, wait, no. Wait, if k=1, we have one T and one O, and the rest (0) are W or N. Wait, no, if k=1, the word has one T and one O, but m=2. So, exactly one T and one O. So the words are TO and OT. But also, could there be W or N in the remaining positions? Wait, m=2, so if we have one T and one O, there are no remaining positions. So, only TO and OT. But according to the calculation, for k=1, it's 2*1*1=2. Then, total words are 4 + 2=6. But when we list them, the k=0 case (no T or O) gives 4 words (WW, WN, NW, NN). The k=1 case gives TO, OT. So total 6 words. That's correct. But if we consider words of length 2 with T and O counts equal, that's correct. So, Petya's count for m=2 is 6.Now, Vasya's problem: He counts all possible 2m-letter words using only T and O, with equal numbers of each. So, words of length 2m with exactly m Ts and m Os. The number of such words is C(2m, m). Because you choose m positions out of 2m to place Ts, and the rest are Os. So, Vasya's count is C(2m, m).So, for m=2, Vasya's count is C(4,2)=6. So, for m=2, both have 6 words. Hmm, interesting. So, in this case, they are equal. But the problem says "Who has more words?" So, maybe it depends on m. Let's try m=1.For m=1: Petya's words are length 1, using T, O, W, N. T and O must appear equally. Since the word is length 1, the number of Ts and Os must be equal, which can only be zero each. So, the only possible words are W and N. So, Petya's count is 2. Vasya's count is for 2m=2 letters, with T and O each once. So, C(2,1)=2. So, again, equal. Hmm.Wait, maybe for m=3. Let's check m=3. Petya's count: Words of length 3, T and O counts equal. So possible k=0: all letters W or N. Number of words: 2^3=8. k=1: 1 T, 1 O, and 1 W/N. Number of ways: Choose 3 positions, first choose 1 for T, then 1 for O, then 1 for W/N. Wait, no: the count would be C(3,1)*C(2,1)*2^1. Wait, C(3,1) ways to choose T's position, then C(2,1) ways to choose O's position, then the remaining 1 position can be W or N, so 2 choices. So total for k=1: 3*2*2=12. Then, k can be 0,1 since floor(3/2)=1. So total words: 8 +12=20.Vasya's count for m=3: He has 2m=6 letters, with 3 Ts and 3 Os. The number is C(6,3)=20. So again, equal. Hmm, same as m=3.Wait, maybe they are always equal? But the problem asks "Who has more words?" So maybe they are equal? But that seems counterintuitive. Wait, for m=4, let's check.Petya's count: m=4. k can be 0,1,2.For k=0: 2^4=16.k=1: Choose 1 T, 1 O, and 2 W/N. Number of ways: C(4,1)*C(3,1)*2^2=4*3*4=48.k=2: Choose 2 Ts and 2 Os. Number of ways: C(4,2)*C(2,2)*2^0=6*1*1=6.Total: 16 +48 +6=70.Vasya's count: m=4, so 2m=8 letters. Number of words: C(8,4)=70. Again equal. So, same result.Wait, so for m=1,2,3,4, they are equal. Maybe in general, Petya's count equals Vasya's count? That is, the number of words Petya counts is equal to C(2m, m). But how?Is there a combinatorial identity that shows that the sum over k=0 to floor(m/2) of C(m,k)*C(m -k, k)*2^{m -2k} equals C(2m, m)}?Let me check for m=2: sum was 4 +2=6=C(4,2)=6. For m=3:8+12=20=C(6,3)=20. For m=4:16+48+6=70=C(8,4)=70. So yes, seems to hold.Therefore, the conclusion is that they are equal? But the problem says "Who has more words?" So maybe the answer is they are equal. But let me think again.Wait, but maybe I made a mistake in the general case. Let's think of another approach. Suppose we model Petya's problem as sequences of length m with T, O, W, N, where #T = #O. Let's consider that each position can be:- T, which contributes +1 to a counter,- O, which contributes -1,- W or N, which contribute 0.Then, the total sum must be 0. Wait, but this is overcomplicating. Alternatively, consider that for each word in Petya's count, we can replace W and N with a single symbol, say X, which represents any non-T/O letter. Then, the problem becomes: number of sequences of length m with symbols T, O, X, where the number of Ts equals the number of Os, and X can be either W or N (so each X has 2 choices). Then, the total number is sum_{k=0}^{floor(m/2)} C(m, k) * C(m - k, k) * 2^{m - 2k}.Alternatively, think of generating functions. The generating function for Ts and Os with equal numbers is (x + y + 2)^m, but considering that Ts and Os must balance. Wait, maybe using generating functions to model the count.Let me think. For each letter in the word, we can have T, O, W, or N. Let's model T as +1, O as -1, W and N as 0. We need the total sum to be 0 after m letters. This is similar to a balanced walk with steps +1, -1, or 0 (with two kinds of 0 steps). The number of such walks of length m that return to the origin.But the generating function for this would be (x + 1/x + 2)^m. The coefficient of x^0 in this expansion would give the number of such words. Then, the value is equal to the coefficient of x^0 in (x + 1/x + 2)^m.But also, note that Vasya's count is the number of balanced sequences of Ts and Os of length 2m, which is C(2m, m). Which is also the coefficient of x^0 in (x + 1/x)^{2m}.But how are these related?Alternatively, note that (x + 1/x + 2)^m can be rewritten as (sqrt(x) + 1/sqrt(x))^{2m} after some manipulation? Wait, let's see:(x + 1/x + 2) = (sqrt(x) + 1/sqrt(x))^2. Because (sqrt(x) + 1/sqrt(x))^2 = x + 2 + 1/x. Exactly! So, (x + 1/x + 2) = (sqrt(x) + 1/sqrt(x))^2. Therefore, (x + 1/x + 2)^m = (sqrt(x) + 1/sqrt(x))^{2m}.Thus, the coefficient of x^0 in (sqrt(x) + 1/sqrt(x))^{2m} is equal to the coefficient of x^0 in (x + 1/x + 2)^m. But the coefficient of x^0 in (sqrt(x) + 1/sqrt(x))^{2m} is the same as the coefficient of x^0 in (x + 1/x)^{2m} multiplied by some factor? Wait, no. Wait, (sqrt(x) + 1/sqrt(x))^{2m} is equal to (x + 1/x + 2)^m, and when expanded, the coefficient of x^0 in this would be the same as the coefficient of x^0 in (x + 1/x)^{2m} because (sqrt(x) + 1/sqrt(x))^{2m} is (x + 1/x + 2)^m. Wait, no, that's not directly obvious.Wait, actually, let me substitute y = sqrt(x). Then, (sqrt(x) + 1/sqrt(x))^{2m} = (y + 1/y)^{2m} = sum_{k=0}^{2m} C(2m, k) y^{2m - 2k}. The coefficient of y^0 (i.e., x^0) is C(2m, m). Therefore, the coefficient of x^0 in (sqrt(x) + 1/sqrt(x))^{2m} is C(2m, m). But since (x + 1/x + 2)^m = (sqrt(x) + 1/sqrt(x))^{2m}, so the coefficient of x^0 in (x + 1/x + 2)^m is C(2m, m). But this coefficient is exactly the number of words Petya is counting. Because each term in the expansion corresponds to choosing, for each of the m letters, a T (+1), an O (-1), or a W/N (0), and the total sum being 0 (equal number of Ts and Os). Hence, the number of such words is C(2m, m), which is exactly Vasya's count. Therefore, they are equal.Therefore, the answer is that they have the same number of words.But let me verify this with another example. Take m=1. Petya's count is 2 (W, N). Vasya's count for 2m=2 is C(2,1)=2. Correct. For m=2, both 6. For m=3, both 20. For m=4, both 70. Yes, so this identity holds. Therefore, regardless of m, Petya and Vasya have the same number of words. Hence, the answer is they are equal.

✅:Both Petya and Vasya have counted the same number of words. Step-by-Step Explanation:1. Petya's Count: - Words are of length ( m ), using letters {T, O, W, N}. - T and O must appear equally. Let ( k ) be the number of Ts (and Os). The remaining ( m - 2k ) letters are W or N. - For each ( k ), the number of words is: [ binom{m}{k} binom{m - k}{k} cdot 2^{m - 2k} ] - Summing over all valid ( k ) (from ( 0 ) to ( lfloor m/2 rfloor )): [ sum_{k=0}^{lfloor m/2 rfloor} binom{m}{k} binom{m - k}{k} cdot 2^{m - 2k} ]2. Vasya's Count: - Words are of length ( 2m ), using only {T, O}, with exactly ( m ) Ts and ( m ) Os. - Number of such words is: [ binom{2m}{m} ]3. Combinatorial Identity: - Using generating functions, Petya's count corresponds to the coefficient of ( x^0 ) in ( (x + frac{1}{x} + 2)^m ), which simplifies to ( binom{2m}{m} ) via substitution ( y = sqrt{x} ). This matches Vasya's count.4. Verification with Examples: - For ( m = 2 ), both counts equal 6. - For ( m = 3 ), both counts equal 20. - Generalizing, the identity holds for all ( m ).Conclusion: Petya and Vasya have the same number of words. boxed{text{They have the same number of words.}}

🔑:1. We begin by analyzing Petya's words, which use the letters T, O, W, and N. Any word has exactly m letters with half of them being Ts and the other half being Os. These words can be decoded into Vasya's scheme due to equal counts of T and O.2. Consider Vasya's words, which consist only of the letters T and O, with an exact count of m letters of each, resulting in a total length of 2m. The key point is to understand how these sequences would break down into Petya's words.3. Breakdown Vasya's 2m-letter words into m blocks of 2 letters each. There are four possible blocks: TT, OO, TO, and OT: - TT block can be represented by T in Petya's scheme, - OO block can be represented by O in Petya's scheme, - TO block can be represented by W in Petya's scheme, - OT block can be represented by N in Petya's scheme.4. Let's establish a one-to-one correspondence: [ begin{aligned} TT & rightarrow T, OO & rightarrow O, TO & rightarrow W, OT & rightarrow N. end{aligned} ] Each resulting word after this transformation will have the property that the number of Ts equals the number of Os.5. Conversely, for each of Petya's words with m letters (with equal number of T and O), we can reverse the transformation: [ begin{aligned} T & rightarrow TT, O & rightarrow OO, W & rightarrow TO, N & rightarrow OT. end{aligned} ] By doing this, we can regenerate the original 2m-letter words of Vasya.6. Since each word in Petya's list can be uniquely represented by transforming a corresponding word in Vasya's list, and vice versa, the number of valid words for Petya and Vasya must be the same. Conclusion:Hence, the number of words formed in Petya's and Vasya's schemes are equal.boxed{text{The number of words are the same}}

❓:Let (a, b,) and (c) be the sides of a triangle. Prove the inequality[sqrt{a+b-c}+sqrt{c+a-b}+sqrt{b+c-a} leq sqrt{a}+sqrt{b}+sqrt{c}]When does the equality hold?

🧠:Okay, so I need to prove this inequality involving the sides of a triangle: the sum of the square roots of (a+b-c), (c+a-b), and (b+c-a) is less than or equal to the sum of the square roots of a, b, and c. And then figure out when equality holds. Hmm, triangles... so first, I should recall that in a triangle, the sum of any two sides must be greater than the third. So that means each of the expressions inside the square roots on the left side must be positive. For example, a + b - c > 0, right? Because in a triangle, a + b > c. Similarly for the others. So that's good, we don't have to worry about taking square roots of negative numbers here.Now, the inequality is √(a+b−c) + √(c+a−b) + √(b+c−a) ≤ √a + √b + √c. I need to show that the left side is less than or equal to the right side. Let me think about possible approaches.One common technique with inequalities is to use known inequalities like Cauchy-Schwarz, AM-GM, or maybe even Jensen's inequality since square root is a concave function. Alternatively, maybe substitution could help simplify things. Let me consider substitution first.Since a, b, c are sides of a triangle, perhaps we can parameterize them in terms of other variables to simplify the expressions. Let's think: in a triangle, we can express the sides in terms of angles, but that might complicate things. Alternatively, maybe use variables like x = a + b - c, y = b + c - a, z = c + a - b. Then x, y, z are all positive because of the triangle inequalities. Let's try that substitution.Let x = a + b - c,y = b + c - a,z = c + a - b.Then, solving for a, b, c:Adding x and z: x + z = (a + b - c) + (c + a - b) = 2a ⇒ a = (x + z)/2.Similarly, adding x and y: x + y = (a + b - c) + (b + c - a) = 2b ⇒ b = (x + y)/2.Adding y and z: y + z = (b + c - a) + (c + a - b) = 2c ⇒ c = (y + z)/2.So, a = (x + z)/2, b = (x + y)/2, c = (y + z)/2.Now, the left side of the inequality is √x + √y + √z.The right side is √a + √b + √c = √[(x + z)/2] + √[(x + y)/2] + √[(y + z)/2].So the inequality becomes:√x + √y + √z ≤ √[(x + z)/2] + √[(x + y)/2] + √[(y + z)/2].Hmm, interesting. So now we have variables x, y, z which are positive (since they are sums of sides minus the third side in a triangle). But does this substitution help? Maybe.Alternatively, perhaps I can compare each term on the left and right sides? Let me see. For example, compare √(a + b - c) with √a. But since a + b - c is less than a + b, but c is positive, so a + b - c is less than a + b, but that's not directly helpful. Wait, but actually, since in the triangle, a + b > c, so a + b - c is positive, but how much is it compared to a? Let's see. For example, if the triangle is equilateral, a = b = c. Then a + b - c = a + a - a = a. So √(a + b - c) = √a. Similarly for the other terms, so the left side would be √a + √a + √a = 3√a, and the right side is √a + √a + √a = 3√a. So equality holds for equilateral triangles. That's a good check.But what if the triangle is not equilateral? Let's try an example. Suppose a = 2, b = 2, c = 2 (equilateral). Then left side is 3√(2 + 2 - 2) = 3√2, right side is 3√2. Equal. Now, let's take a triangle that's not equilateral. Let's say a = 3, b = 4, c = 5. A right-angled triangle. Then:Left side: √(3 + 4 - 5) + √(5 + 3 - 4) + √(4 + 5 - 3) = √2 + √4 + √6 ≈ 1.414 + 2 + 2.449 ≈ 5.863.Right side: √3 + √4 + √5 ≈ 1.732 + 2 + 2.236 ≈ 5.968. So 5.863 ≤ 5.968, which holds. So inequality holds here, and equality is not achieved, which makes sense because it's not equilateral.Another example: maybe an isoceles triangle, like a = 2, b = 2, c = 3. Then:Left side: √(2 + 2 - 3) + √(3 + 2 - 2) + √(2 + 3 - 2) = √1 + √3 + √3 ≈ 1 + 1.732 + 1.732 ≈ 4.464.Right side: √2 + √2 + √3 ≈ 1.414 + 1.414 + 1.732 ≈ 4.560. So again left < right.So, empirically, the inequality seems to hold. But need a general proof.Going back to the substitution. Let me restate the inequality in terms of x, y, z. The left side is √x + √y + √z, and the right side is √[(x + z)/2] + √[(x + y)/2] + √[(y + z)/2]. So the inequality is:√x + √y + √z ≤ √[(x + z)/2] + √[(x + y)/2] + √[(y + z)/2].Hmm. Maybe this can be approached using the concavity of the square root function. Because square root is concave, we have that for positive numbers, √[(x + y)/2] ≥ (√x + √y)/2. Wait, but that is actually the reverse of concavity. Wait, the concavity implies that √[(x + y)/2] ≥ (√x + √y)/2. Wait, but how does that help here?Alternatively, let me consider each term on the right. For example, √[(x + z)/2] is the square root of the average of x and z. Similarly for the others. So, since square root is concave, by Jensen's inequality, we have that:√[(x + z)/2] ≥ (√x + √z)/2,and similarly for the other terms. So adding them up:√[(x + z)/2] + √[(x + y)/2] + √[(y + z)/2] ≥ (√x + √z)/2 + (√x + √y)/2 + (√y + √z)/2.The right side is equal to (2√x + 2√y + 2√z)/2 = √x + √y + √z. So this gives us that the right side of our original inequality (after substitution) is greater than or equal to the left side. Which is exactly what we needed to prove. Therefore, the inequality holds.Wait, so that was straightforward with Jensen's inequality? Let me check again.So, since f(t) = √t is concave, Jensen's inequality tells us that for any weights λ_i that sum to 1, we have f(λ₁x₁ + ... + λₙxₙ) ≥ λ₁f(x₁) + ... + λₙf(xₙ). In our case, for each term on the right, like √[(x + z)/2], which is f((x + z)/2). Since f is concave, f((x + z)/2) ≥ (f(x) + f(z))/2. Similarly for the other terms. Therefore, adding the three inequalities:√[(x + z)/2] + √[(x + y)/2] + √[(y + z)/2] ≥ (√x + √z)/2 + (√x + √y)/2 + (√y + √z)/2 = √x + √y + √z.Which is exactly the left side. Therefore, the inequality holds. And equality holds when? For Jensen's equality condition, which requires that all the variables are equal in each term. That is, in each application of Jensen, the variables should be equal. For example, in √[(x + z)/2], equality holds when x = z. Similarly, in √[(x + y)/2], equality when x = y, and in √[(y + z)/2], equality when y = z. Therefore, x = y = z. So x = y = z.But x = a + b - c, y = b + c - a, z = c + a - b. If x = y = z, then:a + b - c = b + c - a ⇒ a + b - c = b + c - a ⇒ a = c.Similarly, from y = z: b + c - a = c + a - b ⇒ b = a.Therefore, a = b = c. So the equality holds when the triangle is equilateral.Therefore, the original inequality is proven, and equality holds if and only if the triangle is equilateral.Wait, let me verify that substitution step again. When we set x = a + b - c, y = b + c - a, z = c + a - b, then the substitution is valid for any triangle, right? Because in a triangle, each of those expressions is positive. So that substitution is okay. Then expressing a, b, c in terms of x, y, z as a = (x + z)/2, etc., is correct. Therefore, the transformed inequality is equivalent to the original one. Then using Jensen's inequality as above gives the result. So this seems correct.Alternatively, maybe there's another approach without substitution, but this seems straightforward. Let me see if there's another way.Alternatively, we can use the Ravi substitution, commonly used in triangle inequalities, where a = y + z, b = z + x, c = x + y, with x, y, z > 0. Wait, that's similar to what we did earlier. Let's see:Ravi substitution sets a = y + z, b = z + x, c = x + y. Then, the left side of the inequality becomes:√(a + b - c) + √(c + a - b) + √(b + c - a)= √((y + z) + (z + x) - (x + y)) + √((x + y) + (y + z) - (z + x)) + √((z + x) + (x + y) - (y + z))Simplify each term:First term: (y + z + z + x - x - y) = 2z ⇒ √(2z)Second term: (x + y + y + z - z - x) = 2y ⇒ √(2y)Third term: (z + x + x + y - y - z) = 2x ⇒ √(2x)So the left side becomes √(2x) + √(2y) + √(2z) = √2(√x + √y + √z).The right side is √a + √b + √c = √(y + z) + √(z + x) + √(x + y).Therefore, the inequality becomes:√2(√x + √y + √z) ≤ √(y + z) + √(z + x) + √(x + y).But this seems different from the previous substitution. Wait, but in the original problem, the left side after substitution was √x + √y + √z ≤ sum of √ averages, but here with Ravi substitution, the inequality is transformed into √2 times sum of √x, √y, √z is less than or equal to sum of √(x+y), etc. Hmm, maybe not directly helpful. But let me check.Wait, perhaps squaring both sides? Let me see. But squaring might complicate things. Alternatively, note that for each term, √(x + y) ≥ (√x + √y)/√2. Is that true? Let's check:√(x + y) ≥ (√x + √y)/√2Squaring both sides: x + y ≥ (x + y + 2√(xy))/2Multiply both sides by 2: 2x + 2y ≥ x + y + 2√(xy)Simplify: x + y ≥ 2√(xy), which is AM ≥ GM, so yes, true. Equality holds when x = y.Therefore, √(x + y) ≥ (√x + √y)/√2.Similarly for √(y + z) ≥ (√y + √z)/√2, and √(z + x) ≥ (√z + √x)/√2.Adding these three inequalities:√(x + y) + √(y + z) + √(z + x) ≥ [ (√x + √y) + (√y + √z) + (√z + √x) ] / √2 = [2(√x + √y + √z)] / √2 = √2 (√x + √y + √z)Which is exactly the left side of the transformed inequality. Therefore, √(x + y) + √(y + z) + √(z + x) ≥ √2 (√x + √y + √z). Which means that √2 (√x + √y + √z) ≤ √(x + y) + √(y + z) + √(z + x). Therefore, the inequality holds. But in the original substitution (Ravi substitution), the left side of the original inequality is √2(√x + √y + √z), and the right side is √(y + z) + √(z + x) + √(x + y). Hence, the inequality becomes √2(√x + √y + √z) ≤ √(y + z) + √(z + x) + √(x + y), which is proven via the above method. Therefore, the original inequality holds.But in this case, when does equality hold? For equality in each AM ≥ GM step, which requires x = y, y = z, z = x, so x = y = z. Then, in the Ravi substitution, a = y + z = 2x, b = z + x = 2x, c = x + y = 2x. So a = b = c = 2x, hence the triangle is equilateral. So equality holds when the triangle is equilateral.Therefore, both substitution methods lead us to the same conclusion, which is reassuring.So, the key idea here is to use substitution to simplify the expressions, then apply Jensen's inequality or AM ≥ GM to relate the terms, leading to the desired inequality. The equality holds when all variables are equal, i.e., the triangle is equilateral.Let me just check once more to make sure I didn't make a mistake in substitution steps. For example, in the first substitution, x = a + b - c, y = b + c - a, z = c + a - b. Then a = (x + z)/2, etc. So, if x = y = z, then a = (x + x)/2 = x, b = (x + x)/2 = x, c = (x + x)/2 = x. Then, a = b = c. So that's correct.Alternatively, in Ravi substitution, if x = y = z, then a = 2x, b = 2x, c = 2x, so a = b = c. So both substitutions correctly lead to the equilateral triangle condition for equality.Therefore, the proof is solid. The inequality holds, and equality occurs if and only if the triangle is equilateral.Final AnswerThe inequality holds for any triangle with equality if and only if the triangle is equilateral. Thus, the final answer is boxed{sqrt{a+b-c} + sqrt{c+a-b} + sqrt{b+c-a} leq sqrt{a} + sqrt{b} + sqrt{c}} with equality when (a = b = c).

✅:To prove the inequality [sqrt{a+b-c}+sqrt{c+a-b}+sqrt{b+c-a} leq sqrt{a}+sqrt{b}+sqrt{c}]for the sides (a, b, c) of a triangle and determine when equality holds, we can use substitution and Jensen's inequality.1. Substitution: Let (x = a + b - c), (y = b + c - a), and (z = c + a - b). These substitutions are valid because in a triangle, the sum of any two sides is greater than the third, ensuring (x, y, z) are positive. Solving for (a, b, c) gives: [ a = frac{x + z}{2}, quad b = frac{x + y}{2}, quad c = frac{y + z}{2} ]2. Transforming the Inequality: The left side of the inequality becomes (sqrt{x} + sqrt{y} + sqrt{z}). The right side becomes: [ sqrt{frac{x + z}{2}} + sqrt{frac{x + y}{2}} + sqrt{frac{y + z}{2}} ]3. Applying Jensen's Inequality: The square root function is concave. By Jensen's inequality, for any positive numbers (u) and (v): [ sqrt{frac{u + v}{2}} geq frac{sqrt{u} + sqrt{v}}{2} ] Applying this to each term on the right side: [ sqrt{frac{x + z}{2}} geq frac{sqrt{x} + sqrt{z}}{2}, quad sqrt{frac{x + y}{2}} geq frac{sqrt{x} + sqrt{y}}{2}, quad sqrt{frac{y + z}{2}} geq frac{sqrt{y} + sqrt{z}}{2} ] Adding these inequalities: [ sqrt{frac{x + z}{2}} + sqrt{frac{x + y}{2}} + sqrt{frac{y + z}{2}} geq sqrt{x} + sqrt{y} + sqrt{z} ]4. Equality Condition: Equality in Jensen's inequality occurs when all variables are equal. Thus, (x = y = z). Substituting back, (a = b = c), meaning the triangle is equilateral.Thus, the inequality holds with equality if and only if the triangle is equilateral. The final answer is:[boxed{sqrt{a+b-c} + sqrt{c+a-b} + sqrt{b+c-a} leq sqrt{a} + sqrt{b} + sqrt{c}}]Equality holds when (a = b = c).

🔑:Let ( a ), ( b ), and ( c ) be the sides of a triangle. To prove the inequality:[sqrt{a+b-c} + sqrt{c+a-b} + sqrt{b+c-a} leq sqrt{a} + sqrt{b} + sqrt{c}]we use the fact that ( a ), ( b ), and ( c ) are sides of a triangle. Therefore, there exist positive numbers ( x ), ( y ), and ( z ) such that:[a = x + y, quad b = y + z, quad c = z + x]This allows us to rewrite the inequality in terms of ( x ), ( y ), and ( z ):[sqrt{2x} + sqrt{2y} + sqrt{2z} leq sqrt{x+y} + sqrt{y+z} + sqrt{z+x}]Now, we apply the Arithmetic Mean-Geometric Mean Inequality (AM-GM Inequality):[sqrt{x+y} = sqrt{2 cdot frac{x+y}{2}} geq sqrt{2} cdot sqrt{frac{x + y}{2}}]which simplifies to:[sqrt{x+y} geq sqrt{2} cdot frac{sqrt{x} + sqrt{y}}{2}]This inequality shows the relation between the arithmetic mean and the geometric mean. For equality, it is required that ( x = y ).Similarly, we apply the same approach to the other terms:[sqrt{y+z} geq sqrt{2} cdot frac{sqrt{y} + sqrt{z}}{2}][sqrt{z+x} geq sqrt{2} cdot frac{sqrt{z} + sqrt{x}}{2}]By adding these three inequalities together, we get:[sqrt{x + y} + sqrt{y + z} + sqrt{z + x} geq sqrt{2} cdot left( frac{sqrt{x} + sqrt{y}}{2} + frac{sqrt{y} + sqrt{z}}{2} + frac{sqrt{z} + sqrt{x}}{2} right)]which simplifies to:[sqrt{x + y} + sqrt{y + z} + sqrt{z + x} geq sqrt{2} cdot left( frac{sqrt{x} + sqrt{y} + sqrt{z}}{2} + frac{sqrt{x} + sqrt{y} + sqrt{z}}{2} right)][sqrt{x + y} + sqrt{y + z} + sqrt{z + x} geq sqrt{2} cdot (sqrt{x} + sqrt{y} + sqrt{z})]Thus the desired inequality:[sqrt{2x} + sqrt{2y} + sqrt{2z} leq sqrt{x+y} + sqrt{y+z} + sqrt{z+x}]is satisfied, with equality holding when ( x = y = z ).

❓:In the right triangle (ABC) ((angle C) is a right angle), a point (D) is taken on the side (BC) such that (angle CAD=30^circ). From point (D), a perpendicular (DE) is dropped onto (AB). Find the distance between the midpoints of segments (CE) and (AD), given that (AC=3sqrt{3}) and (DB=4).

🧠:Alright, let's tackle this geometry problem step by step. It's a right triangle ABC with angle C being the right angle. Point D is on BC such that angle CAD is 30 degrees. From D, a perpendicular DE is dropped onto AB. We need to find the distance between the midpoints of segments CE and AD, given that AC is 3√3 and DB is 4. Hmm, okay, let me visualize this first.First, let me sketch the triangle. Since it's a right triangle at C, sides AC and BC are the legs, and AB is the hypotenuse. Point D is on BC, closer to B since DB is 4. Then from D, we drop a perpendicular to AB, which is DE. Then we have segments CE and AD, and we need their midpoints' distance.Given AC = 3√3, which is one leg. Since angle at C is 90°, angle at A and B must add up to 90°. But angle CAD is given as 30°, so maybe that helps us figure out some lengths?Let me start by finding the lengths of the sides of triangle ABC. We know AC = 3√3. If we can find BC or AB, we can use Pythagoras. But how?Wait, point D is on BC such that DB = 4. So BC is BD + DC. If I can find DC, then BC = DC + 4. Maybe using angle CAD = 30°, triangle ACD can be a 30-60-90 triangle?Yes, angle at A is 30°, right? So in triangle ACD, angle at A is 30°, angle at C is 90°, so angle at D must be 60°. Wait, but hold on, angle at C in triangle ABC is 90°, but in triangle ACD, angle at C is still 90°, right? So triangle ACD is a 30-60-90 triangle with angle at A being 30°, angle at C 90°, so side opposite 30° is CD, which is half the hypotenuse AD. Wait, no, in a 30-60-90 triangle, the sides are in ratio 1 : √3 : 2. The side opposite 30° is the shortest leg.But in triangle ACD, angle at A is 30°, so the side opposite angle A is CD. Therefore, CD = (AC) * tan(30°). Wait, maybe that's a better approach. Let's consider triangle ACD.In triangle ACD, angle at A is 30°, angle at C is 90°, so AC is the adjacent side to angle A. Therefore, CD = AC * tan(30°). Since AC is 3√3, tan(30°) is 1/√3. So CD = 3√3 * (1/√3) = 3. Therefore, CD = 3.Therefore, BC = CD + DB = 3 + 4 = 7. So BC is 7. Then, in triangle ABC, right-angled at C, legs AC = 3√3 and BC = 7. So AB can be found using Pythagoras: AB = √(AC² + BC²) = √[(3√3)² + 7²] = √[27 + 49] = √76. Hmm, √76 simplifies to 2√19. Let me check: 76 divided by 4 is 19, so yes, √76 = 2√19.So AB = 2√19. Now, DE is the perpendicular from D to AB. Let's find coordinates for all points to make this easier. Maybe coordinate geometry would help here. Let me place point C at the origin (0,0). Then, since AC = 3√3 and angle C is the right angle, AC is along the y-axis and BC along the x-axis. Wait, but in a right triangle, it's more common to have legs along the axes. Let's confirm:If C is at (0,0), then AC is vertical and BC is horizontal. So point A is at (0, 3√3), and point B is at (7, 0). Then point D is on BC, which is from C(0,0) to B(7,0). Since DB = 4, then D is 4 units away from B. So BC is 7 units long, so D is at (7 - 4, 0) = (3, 0). So D is at (3,0).Wait, let's confirm that: If BC is 7 units, from (0,0) to (7,0). If DB = 4, then starting from B(7,0), moving towards C(0,0) by 4 units, so D is at (7 - 4, 0) = (3, 0). Correct.Now, we need to find point E, which is the foot of the perpendicular from D(3,0) to AB. Let's first find the equation of AB to find point E.Points A(0, 3√3) and B(7,0). The slope of AB is (0 - 3√3)/(7 - 0) = (-3√3)/7. Therefore, the equation of AB is y - 3√3 = (-3√3/7)(x - 0), so y = (-3√3/7)x + 3√3.Now, DE is perpendicular to AB. The slope of AB is -3√3/7, so the slope of DE is the negative reciprocal, which is 7/(3√3). Let's rationalize that: 7/(3√3) = 7√3/(9).So the equation of DE is passing through D(3,0) with slope 7√3/9. Thus, the equation is y - 0 = (7√3/9)(x - 3). So y = (7√3/9)x - 21√3/9 = (7√3/9)x - 7√3/3.Now, to find point E, we need the intersection of DE and AB. So set the two equations equal:(-3√3/7)x + 3√3 = (7√3/9)x - 7√3/3.Let me solve for x.First, multiply both sides by 63 to eliminate denominators:63*(-3√3/7)x + 63*3√3 = 63*(7√3/9)x - 63*(7√3/3)Simplify each term:63*(-3√3/7)x = 9*(-3√3)x = -27√3 x63*3√3 = 189√363*(7√3/9)x = 7*7√3 x = 49√3 x63*(7√3/3) = 21*7√3 = 147√3So equation becomes:-27√3 x + 189√3 = 49√3 x - 147√3Bring all terms to left side:-27√3 x + 189√3 - 49√3 x + 147√3 = 0Combine like terms:(-27√3 x - 49√3 x) + (189√3 + 147√3) = 0(-76√3 x) + 336√3 = 0Factor out √3:√3(-76x + 336) = 0So -76x + 336 = 0 => 76x = 336 => x = 336/76 = 168/38 = 84/19 ≈ 4.421... Hmm, exact value is 84/19.Then, substitute x back into one of the equations to find y. Let's use AB's equation:y = (-3√3/7)x + 3√3So y = (-3√3/7)(84/19) + 3√3 = (-3√3 * 84)/(7*19) + 3√3 = (-3√3 * 12)/19 + 3√3 = (-36√3)/19 + (57√3)/19 = (21√3)/19.Thus, point E is at (84/19, 21√3/19).Now, we need to find the midpoints of segments CE and AD.First, find midpoint of CE. Point C is at (0,0), and point E is at (84/19, 21√3/19). The midpoint M1 is ((0 + 84/19)/2, (0 + 21√3/19)/2) = (42/19, 21√3/38).Next, find midpoint of AD. Point A is at (0, 3√3), and point D is at (3,0). The midpoint M2 is ((0 + 3)/2, (3√3 + 0)/2) = (3/2, (3√3)/2).Now, we need to find the distance between M1(42/19, 21√3/38) and M2(3/2, 3√3/2).Let's compute the difference in coordinates:Δx = 3/2 - 42/19 = (57/38 - 84/38) = (-27/38)Δy = 3√3/2 - 21√3/38 = (57√3/38 - 21√3/38) = (36√3)/38 = (18√3)/19Then, the distance is √[(Δx)^2 + (Δy)^2] = √[(-27/38)^2 + (18√3/19)^2]Compute each term:(-27/38)^2 = (729)/(1444)(18√3/19)^2 = (324*3)/(361) = (972)/(361)Note that 361 is 19², and 1444 is 38² = (19*2)² = 4*361. So 1444 = 4*361.So let's convert 729/1444 to 729/(4*361) = 729/(4*361) = 729/1444Similarly, 972/361 = (972/1)/361 = 972/361Now, sum these two fractions:729/(4*361) + 972/361 = [729 + 972*4]/ (4*361) = [729 + 3888]/1444 = 4617/1444Simplify 4617/1444. Let's see if they have a common factor. 4617 ÷ 19 = 243, since 19*243=4617. Similarly, 1444 ÷ 19 = 76. So 4617/1444 = 243/76.So the distance is √(243/76) = √(81*3)/√76 = (9√3)/√76. But √76 can be simplified as √(4*19) = 2√19. Therefore,(9√3)/(2√19). To rationalize the denominator, multiply numerator and denominator by √19:(9√3 * √19)/(2*19) = (9√57)/38.Wait, but let me check again:Wait, 243/76 is under the square root. Let's compute √(243/76). 243 = 81*3 = 9²*3, so √243 = 9√3. 76 = 4*19, so √76 = 2√19. Therefore, √(243/76) = (9√3)/(2√19) = (9√3)/(2√19). Rationalizing the denominator:Multiply numerator and denominator by √19:(9√3 * √19)/(2*19) = (9√57)/38.Therefore, the distance between the midpoints is 9√57/38.Wait, but let me double-check all steps because it's easy to make a mistake with fractions.Starting from coordinates:Point E is (84/19, 21√3/19). Midpoint M1 is (42/19, 21√3/38). Midpoint M2 is (3/2, 3√3/2). Then Δx is 3/2 - 42/19. Convert 3/2 to 57/38 (since 3*19=57 and 2*19=38). 42/19 is 84/38. So 57/38 - 84/38 = -27/38. Correct.Δy is 3√3/2 - 21√3/38. Convert 3√3/2 to 57√3/38 (since 3*19=57, 2*19=38). Then 57√3/38 - 21√3/38 = 36√3/38 = 18√3/19. Correct.Then distance squared is (27/38)^2 + (18√3/19)^2. Wait, 27 squared is 729, 38 squared is 1444, so (729/1444) + ( (324*3)/361 ) = 729/1444 + 972/361. Convert 972/361 to 3888/1444 (since 361*4=1444, so multiply numerator and denominator by 4). Therefore, 729 + 3888 = 4617 over 1444, which is 4617/1444. Then 4617 divided by 19 is 243, and 1444 divided by 19 is 76. So 243/76. √(243/76) = √(81*3)/√(4*19) = (9√3)/(2√19). Rationalizing gives 9√57/38. That seems right.Wait, but the answer is supposed to be a simple number maybe? Hmm, perhaps I made a mistake in coordinates. Let me check coordinates again.Wait, point D is at (3,0). DE is perpendicular to AB. Let me verify the calculation of E's coordinates.Equation of AB: from A(0, 3√3) to B(7,0). Slope is -3√3/7, correct. Then equation y = -3√3/7 x + 3√3. Correct.Equation of DE: slope is 7/(3√3) as perpendicular. Wait, slope of AB is -3√3/7, so perpendicular slope is reciprocal and opposite sign: 7/(3√3). Correct. Then equation is y = 7/(3√3)(x - 3). Let me check the calculation when solving for intersection.Wait, when solving the equations, let's substitute y from DE into AB.So:From DE: y = (7√3/9)x - 7√3/3.From AB: y = (-3√3/7)x + 3√3.Set equal:(7√3/9)x - 7√3/3 = (-3√3/7)x + 3√3.Multiply both sides by 63 to eliminate denominators:63*(7√3/9)x - 63*(7√3/3) = 63*(-3√3/7)x + 63*3√3Simplify each term:63/9 = 7, so first term: 7*7√3 x = 49√3 x63/3 = 21, so second term: -21*7√3 = -147√363/7 = 9, so third term: -9*3√3 x = -27√3 xFourth term: 63*3√3 = 189√3So equation becomes:49√3 x - 147√3 = -27√3 x + 189√3Bring all terms to left:49√3 x +27√3 x -147√3 -189√3 =076√3 x - 336√3 =0Factor out √3:√3(76x -336)=0 → 76x =336 → x=336/76=84/19. Correct.Then y from AB: y= (-3√3/7)*(84/19)+3√3= (-3√3*84)/(7*19)+3√3= (-3√3*12)/19 +3√3= (-36√3)/19 + (57√3)/19=21√3/19. Correct.So E is (84/19,21√3/19). Correct.Midpoint of CE: C(0,0) and E(84/19,21√3/19). Midpoint is (42/19,21√3/38). Correct.Midpoint of AD: A(0,3√3) and D(3,0). Midpoint is (1.5, 1.5√3). Which is (3/2, 3√3/2). Correct.Distance between (42/19,21√3/38) and (3/2,3√3/2):Δx=3/2 -42/19= (57/38 -84/38)= -27/38Δy=3√3/2 -21√3/38= (57√3/38 -21√3/38)=36√3/38=18√3/19Distance squared: (27/38)^2 + (18√3/19)^2=729/1444 + (972/361)=729/1444 + 3888/1444=4617/1444=243/76So distance is sqrt(243/76)=sqrt(81*3/(4*19))=9*sqrt(3/(4*19))=9/(2)*sqrt(3/19)= (9/2)*sqrt(57)/19=9*sqrt(57)/38.Wait, sqrt(3/19) is sqrt(57)/19. Because sqrt(3/19) = sqrt(3*19)/19 = sqrt(57)/19. Therefore, 9/2 * sqrt(57)/19 = 9√57/(38). Correct.Therefore, the distance is 9√57/38. Let me check if that can be simplified further. 9 and 38 have no common factors, so it's the simplest form.Hmm, but I wonder if there's a different approach that might give the same result more straightforwardly. Let me think.Alternatively, using vectors or coordinate geometry as I did is a valid method. Another way could be using properties of midpoints and perhaps midline theorems, but given the complexity of the coordinates, maybe coordinate geometry was the right path.Alternatively, since we need the midpoints, perhaps using midpoint formulas and distance formula is the way to go, which is what I did. So, unless there's a geometric shortcut, this seems correct.Alternatively, let's verify with actual numbers. Let me compute the numerical value to check if it's reasonable.First, AC=3√3≈5.196. BC=7. AB=√(76)≈8.7178. DE is the altitude from D to AB. The coordinates of E were found as (84/19≈4.421, 21√3/19≈1.913). Midpoint of CE is (≈2.2105, ≈0.9567). Midpoint of AD is (1.5, ≈2.598). The distance between them: sqrt[(1.5 - 2.2105)^2 + (2.598 - 0.9567)^2] ≈ sqrt[(-0.7105)^2 + (1.6413)^2] ≈ sqrt[0.5048 + 2.694] ≈ sqrt[3.1988] ≈1.788. Now, compute 9√57/38: √57≈7.5498, 9*7.5498≈67.948, 67.948/38≈1.788. So numerically, it checks out. So the exact value is 9√57/38, approximately 1.788, which seems reasonable given the triangle's dimensions.Therefore, the answer should be boxed{dfrac{9sqrt{57}}{38}}.

✅:To solve the problem, we start by analyzing the given right triangle (ABC) with (angle C = 90^circ). We know (AC = 3sqrt{3}) and (DB = 4). Point (D) is on (BC) such that (angle CAD = 30^circ). We need to find the distance between the midpoints of segments (CE) and (AD), where (E) is the foot of the perpendicular from (D) to (AB).1. Determine the length of (BC): - In (triangle ACD), since (angle CAD = 30^circ) and (angle ACD = 90^circ), we use trigonometry: [ CD = AC cdot tan(30^circ) = 3sqrt{3} cdot frac{1}{sqrt{3}} = 3 ] - Therefore, (BC = CD + DB = 3 + 4 = 7).2. Calculate the coordinates of points: - Place (C) at the origin ((0, 0)), (A) at ((0, 3sqrt{3})), and (B) at ((7, 0)). Point (D) is at ((3, 0)) since (DB = 4).3. Find the equation of line (AB): - The slope of (AB) is (frac{0 - 3sqrt{3}}{7 - 0} = -frac{3sqrt{3}}{7}). - The equation of (AB) is (y = -frac{3sqrt{3}}{7}x + 3sqrt{3}).4. Find the coordinates of (E): - The slope of the perpendicular from (D) to (AB) is (frac{7}{3sqrt{3}} = frac{7sqrt{3}}{9}). - The equation of (DE) is (y = frac{7sqrt{3}}{9}(x - 3)). - Solving the equations of (AB) and (DE) gives (E) at (left(frac{84}{19}, frac{21sqrt{3}}{19}right)).5. Find the midpoints: - Midpoint of (CE) (with (C(0, 0)) and (Eleft(frac{84}{19}, frac{21sqrt{3}}{19}right))): [ M_1 = left(frac{42}{19}, frac{21sqrt{3}}{38}right) ] - Midpoint of (AD) (with (A(0, 3sqrt{3})) and (D(3, 0))): [ M_2 = left(frac{3}{2}, frac{3sqrt{3}}{2}right) ]6. Calculate the distance between (M_1) and (M_2): - Using the distance formula: [ Delta x = frac{3}{2} - frac{42}{19} = -frac{27}{38}, quad Delta y = frac{3sqrt{3}}{2} - frac{21sqrt{3}}{38} = frac{18sqrt{3}}{19} ] - Distance: [ sqrt{left(-frac{27}{38}right)^2 + left(frac{18sqrt{3}}{19}right)^2} = sqrt{frac{729}{1444} + frac{972}{361}} = sqrt{frac{4617}{1444}} = frac{9sqrt{57}}{38} ]The distance between the midpoints of segments (CE) and (AD) is (boxed{dfrac{9sqrt{57}}{38}}).

🔑:Given:- Triangle ABC is a right triangle with angle C = 90^circ.- Point D is on BC such that angle CAD = 30^circ.- A perpendicular DE is drawn from D to AB. We need to find the distance between the midpoints of segments CE and AD.- Additionally, AC = 3sqrt{3} and DB = 4.1. Let point G be the midpoint of segment AD, and point F be the midpoint of segment CE. We need to find the length of segment GF.2. Since angle ACB = angle DEA = 90^circ, quadrilateral ACDE is cyclic, and G is the center of the circumscribed circle because AD is the diameter.3. As G is the center, CG = GE = GD (all radii of the circle). Triangles CGD and CGE are isosceles, and GF is the altitude of triangle CGE.4. Knowing angle CAD = 30^circ, the corresponding arc CD subtends an angle at the center G. The central angle angle CGD is twice the inscribed angle angle CAD, giving angle CGD = 60^circ. Therefore, triangle CGD is equilateral, and CG = CD.5. Note that if angle EAD = alpha, then angle ECD = alpha as well since they subtend the same arc DE. Additionally, angle GCF = 60^circ - alpha and angle CAB = 30^circ + alpha. Consequently, angle CBA = 90^circ - (30^circ + alpha) = 60^circ - alpha.6. Triangles CGF and ABC are similar by AA similarity (since angle CBA = angle GCF = 60^circ - alpha and angle ACB = angle GFC = 90^circ).7. By similarity, we have the ratio:[frac{CG}{AB} = frac{GF}{AC}]8. Solving for GF, we use:[GF = frac{CG cdot AC}{AB} = frac{CD cdot AC}{AB}]9. Since angle CAD = 30^circ, in triangle CAD, we have:[AD = 2 times CD quad text{(since angle CAD = 30^circ and AD is opposite the 60^circ angle)}]10. From triangle CAD by the Pythagorean theorem:[AC^2 + CD^2 = AD^2]11. We have AC = 3sqrt{3} and thus,[(3sqrt{3})^2 + CD^2 = (2 times CD)^2][27 + CD^2 = 4CD^2 Rightarrow 27 = 3CD^2 Rightarrow CD^2 = 9 Rightarrow CD = 3]12. In triangle ABC by the Pythagorean theorem:[AC^2 + BC^2 = AB^2 quad text{(since angle ACB = 90^circ)}][(3sqrt{3})^2 + (BC = CD + DB = 3 + 4 = 7)^2 = AB^2][27 + 49 = AB^2 Rightarrow AB^2 = 76 Rightarrow AB = sqrt{76} = 2sqrt{19}]13. Finally, using the similarity ratio:[GF = frac{3 times 3sqrt{3}}{2sqrt{19}} = frac{9sqrt{57}}{38}] Conclusion:[boxed{frac{9sqrt{57}}{38}}]

❓:If the complex number ( z ) satisfies ( |z|=1 ), and points ( A(-1,0) ) and ( B(0,-1) ) are on the complex plane, then the function ( f(z)=|(z+1)(bar{z}-i)| ) takes its maximum value, and the shape on the complex plane with ( Z ), ( A ), and ( B ) as vertices is:A. Equilateral triangleB. Isosceles triangleC. Right triangleD. Isosceles right triangle

🧠:Okay, let's see. The problem is about a complex number z with |z|=1, so it's on the unit circle. Points A and B are given as (-1,0) and (0,-1), which are also on the complex plane. The function f(z) = |(z+1)((overline{z}) - i)| needs to be maximized, and then we have to determine the shape of the triangle formed by Z (the point corresponding to z), A, and B. The options are equilateral, isosceles, right triangle, or isosceles right triangle.First, I need to understand what f(z) represents. Let me break it down. Since z is a complex number on the unit circle, |z|=1, so z can be written as e^{iθ} = cosθ + i sinθ. The conjugate of z, which is (overline{z}), would be cosθ - i sinθ. The function f(z) is the product of (z + 1) and ((overline{z}) - i), then taking the modulus. Let me compute this step by step.First, compute z + 1. If z = cosθ + i sinθ, then z + 1 = (cosθ + 1) + i sinθ.Next, compute (overline{z}) - i. Since (overline{z}) is cosθ - i sinθ, subtracting i gives cosθ - i(sinθ + 1).So, f(z) is the modulus of the product of these two complex numbers. The modulus of a product is the product of the moduli, so |(z + 1)((overline{z}) - i)| = |z + 1| * |(overline{z}) - i|.But maybe there's a smarter way to compute this instead of multiplying them out. Let's think.Alternatively, perhaps we can express (overline{z}) in terms of z, since |z|=1 implies (overline{z}) = 1/z. So, substituting that, we get:f(z) = |(z + 1)(1/z - i)|. Let's see if that helps.Multiply out the terms: (z + 1)(1/z - i) = (z)(1/z) + z(-i) + 1*(1/z) + 1*(-i) = 1 - iz + 1/z - i.But z is on the unit circle, so 1/z = (overline{z}), so we can write this as 1 - iz + (overline{z}) - i. Hmm, not sure if that's helpful yet. Alternatively, maybe it's better to compute |z + 1| and |(overline{z}) - i| separately and then multiply them.Let's compute |z + 1| first. Since z is on the unit circle, |z + 1| is the distance from z to the point -1 on the complex plane (which is point A). Since z is on the unit circle, the maximum value of |z + 1| occurs when z is at (1,0), giving |1 + 1| = 2, and the minimum is 0 when z is at (-1,0). But here, we might not need the maximum but the product with another term.Similarly, |(overline{z}) - i|. Since (overline{z}) is the conjugate of z, which is a reflection over the real axis. If z is on the unit circle, so is (overline{z}), right? Because |(overline{z})| = |z| = 1. So (overline{z}) is also a point on the unit circle. Then, |(overline{z}) - i| is the distance from (overline{z}) to the point i (which is (0,1)). So the maximum distance here would be when (overline{z}) is at (0,-1), which is point B, giving |(0,-1) - (0,1)| = 2, and the minimum is 0 when (overline{z}) is at (0,1). But again, we need to consider the product.Wait, so f(z) is the product of the distances from z to point A and from (overline{z}) to point i. But since z is on the unit circle, (overline{z}) is also on the unit circle. So maybe there's a geometric interpretation here.Alternatively, perhaps we can parametrize z as e^{iθ} and compute |z + 1| and |(overline{z}) - i| in terms of θ.Let's try that. Let z = e^{iθ} = cosθ + i sinθ. Then |z + 1| = |(cosθ + 1) + i sinθ| = sqrt{(cosθ + 1)^2 + sin^2θ} = sqrt{cos²θ + 2cosθ + 1 + sin²θ} = sqrt{2 + 2cosθ} = 2|cos(θ/2)|, using the half-angle identity.Similarly, compute |(overline{z}) - i|. Since (overline{z}) = cosθ - i sinθ, then (overline{z}) - i = cosθ - i(sinθ + 1). The modulus squared is cos²θ + (sinθ + 1)^2 = cos²θ + sin²θ + 2 sinθ + 1 = 1 + 2 sinθ + 1 = 2 + 2 sinθ. Therefore, |(overline{z}) - i| = sqrt{2 + 2 sinθ} = 2|sin(θ/2 + π/4)|? Wait, maybe using another identity.Alternatively, sqrt{2(1 + sinθ)}. The identity 1 + sinθ = 2 sin²(θ/2 + π/4). Wait, let me check:We know that sin(A + B) = sinA cosB + cosA sinB. Hmm, perhaps using sinθ = 2 sin(θ/2) cos(θ/2). Let's see.sqrt{2(1 + sinθ)}. Let's factor it as sqrt{2} * sqrt{1 + sinθ}. The expression sqrt(1 + sinθ) can be written as sqrt{(sin(θ/2) + cos(θ/2))²} = |sin(θ/2) + cos(θ/2)|. Therefore, sqrt{2(1 + sinθ)} = sqrt{2} |sin(θ/2) + cos(θ/2)|. Alternatively, that's equal to |sqrt{2} sin(θ/2 + π/4)|, since sin(θ/2 + π/4) = sin(θ/2)cos(π/4) + cos(θ/2)sin(π/4) = (sin(θ/2) + cos(θ/2))/sqrt(2). Therefore, sqrt{2(1 + sinθ)} = 2 |sin(θ/2 + π/4)|. Therefore, |(overline{z}) - i| = 2 |sin(θ/2 + π/4)|.So, f(z) = |(z +1)((overline{z}) -i)| = |z +1| * |(overline{z}) -i| = 2 |cos(θ/2)| * 2 |sin(θ/2 + π/4)| = 4 |cos(θ/2)| |sin(θ/2 + π/4)|.Therefore, to maximize f(z), we need to maximize the product |cos(θ/2)| * |sin(θ/2 + π/4)|. Since θ is real, the absolute values can be considered as cos(θ/2) and sin(θ/2 + π/4) depending on θ. Let's drop the absolute values for now and just maximize the product, considering θ in a range where both terms are non-negative. Let's see.Let’s set φ = θ/2. Then, θ = 2φ, and the product becomes cosφ * sin(φ + π/4). So we need to maximize cosφ * sin(φ + π/4) over φ.Let’s compute this expression. Let's expand sin(φ + π/4):sin(φ + π/4) = sinφ cosπ/4 + cosφ sinπ/4 = (sinφ + cosφ)/sqrt(2).Therefore, the product becomes cosφ * (sinφ + cosφ)/sqrt(2) = [cosφ sinφ + cos²φ]/sqrt(2).So, the function to maximize is [ (sinφ cosφ) + cos²φ ] / sqrt(2).Let’s write sinφ cosφ as (1/2) sin2φ, and cos²φ as (1 + cos2φ)/2. Then:[ (1/2) sin2φ + (1 + cos2φ)/2 ] / sqrt(2) = [ (sin2φ + 1 + cos2φ ) / 2 ] / sqrt(2) = (sin2φ + cos2φ + 1) / (2 sqrt(2)).So, we need to maximize sin2φ + cos2φ + 1. Let’s note that sin2φ + cos2φ can be written as sqrt(2) sin(2φ + π/4). Therefore, the expression becomes sqrt(2) sin(2φ + π/4) + 1. The maximum value of sin is 1, so the maximum of this expression is sqrt(2) * 1 + 1 = 1 + sqrt(2).Therefore, the maximum value of the original expression (sin2φ + cos2φ + 1) is 1 + sqrt(2). Therefore, the maximum of [ (sin2φ + cos2φ + 1) / (2 sqrt(2)) ] is (1 + sqrt(2)) / (2 sqrt(2)).But let me check this step again. Wait, the expression was:Original function to maximize: [sin2φ + cos2φ + 1] / (2 sqrt(2)).But sin2φ + cos2φ = sqrt(2) sin(2φ + π/4). Therefore, the maximum of sin2φ + cos2φ is sqrt(2). Therefore, the maximum of sin2φ + cos2φ + 1 is sqrt(2) + 1. So the maximum of the whole expression is (sqrt(2) + 1) / (2 sqrt(2)).Simplify that: (sqrt(2) + 1)/(2 sqrt(2)) = [sqrt(2) + 1]/(2 sqrt(2)) = [ (sqrt(2) + 1) / sqrt(2) ] / 2 = [1 + 1/sqrt(2)] / 2 = [sqrt(2)/sqrt(2) + 1/sqrt(2)] / 2 = [ (sqrt(2) + 1)/sqrt(2) ] / 2 = (sqrt(2) + 1)/(2 sqrt(2)).Multiply numerator and denominator by sqrt(2) to rationalize:[ (sqrt(2) + 1) * sqrt(2) ] / (2 * 2) ) = [ (2 + sqrt(2)) ] / 4.So the maximum of [sin2φ + cos2φ + 1]/(2 sqrt(2)) is (2 + sqrt(2))/4 = (1 + sqrt(2)/2)/2. Wait, perhaps there's a miscalculation here. Let me recompute:Wait, the maximum of the product cosφ * sin(φ + π/4) is [sqrt(2) + 1]/(2 sqrt(2))?Wait, perhaps an alternative approach. Let's consider f(φ) = cosφ * sin(φ + π/4). To find its maximum.We can take the derivative. Let’s set f(φ) = cosφ sin(φ + π/4). Let’s compute f'(φ):f’(φ) = -sinφ sin(φ + π/4) + cosφ cos(φ + π/4).Set derivative to zero:-sinφ sin(φ + π/4) + cosφ cos(φ + π/4) = 0.This is equivalent to cosφ cos(φ + π/4) = sinφ sin(φ + π/4).Divide both sides by cosφ cos(φ + π/4), assuming they are non-zero:1 = tanφ tan(φ + π/4).Let’s let’s denote ψ = φ + π/8, shifting the variable. Hmm, maybe not. Alternatively, use the identity for tan(φ + π/4):tan(φ + π/4) = (tanφ + 1)/(1 - tanφ).So equation becomes:1 = tanφ * (tanφ + 1)/(1 - tanφ)Multiply both sides by (1 - tanφ):1 - tanφ = tanφ(tanφ + 1)1 - tanφ = tan²φ + tanφBring all terms to left:1 - tanφ - tan²φ - tanφ = 0 → 1 - 2 tanφ - tan²φ = 0This is a quadratic equation in tanφ:tan²φ + 2 tanφ - 1 = 0.Solving for tanφ:tanφ = [ -2 ± sqrt(4 + 4) ] / 2 = [ -2 ± sqrt(8) ] / 2 = [ -2 ± 2*sqrt(2) ] / 2 = -1 ± sqrt(2).So tanφ = -1 + sqrt(2) ≈ -1 + 1.414 ≈ 0.414, or tanφ = -1 - sqrt(2) ≈ -2.414. Since we are looking for maximum, we need to check which of these gives a maximum.Let’s take tanφ = -1 + sqrt(2). Let’s compute φ. Since tanφ = sqrt(2) - 1, which is positive, φ is in the first or third quadrant. Since we are dealing with cosφ and sin(φ + π/4), which are involved in the original function, and since φ is related to θ, which is an angle on the unit circle, we can consider φ in [0, 2π). However, since z is on the unit circle, θ can be from 0 to 2π, so φ = θ/2 is from 0 to π. So φ is in [0, π). Therefore, tanφ = sqrt(2) - 1 ≈ 0.414, so φ is in the first quadrant. Let's compute φ = arctan(sqrt(2) - 1).Note that sqrt(2) - 1 ≈ 0.4142, which is tan(22.5°), since tan(22.5°) = tan(π/8) = sqrt(2) - 1. Therefore, φ = π/8. Alternatively, let me verify:tan(π/8) = sin(π/8)/cos(π/8). Using the identity tan(θ) = sin(2θ)/(1 + cos(2θ)), so tan(π/8) = sin(π/4)/(1 + cos(π/4)) = (sqrt(2)/2)/(1 + sqrt(2)/2) = (sqrt(2)/2) / ( (2 + sqrt(2))/2 ) = sqrt(2)/(2 + sqrt(2)) = multiply numerator and denominator by (2 - sqrt(2)):sqrt(2)(2 - sqrt(2)) / ( (2 + sqrt(2))(2 - sqrt(2)) ) = (2 sqrt(2) - 2 ) / (4 - 2) ) = (2 sqrt(2) - 2)/2 = sqrt(2) - 1. Yes, correct. So tan(π/8) = sqrt(2) - 1. Therefore, the solution is φ = π/8.Similarly, the other solution tanφ = -1 - sqrt(2) would correspond to φ in another quadrant, but since φ is in [0, π), tanφ negative would mean φ in (π/2, π). Let’s check if that is a maximum. However, since the product cosφ * sin(φ + π/4) is involved, and if φ is in (π/2, π), cosφ is negative, and sin(φ + π/4) could be positive or negative. Since we are taking the absolute value in the original function, maybe both solutions need to be considered. Wait, but in our substitution earlier, we dropped the absolute values because we considered θ in a range where cos(θ/2) and sin(θ/2 + π/4) are non-negative. However, depending on θ, these terms could be negative, but since we take modulus, the product is always non-negative. Therefore, when we parametrized φ = θ/2, and considered the product as cosφ * sin(φ + π/4), we need to take absolute values. Therefore, perhaps the maximum occurs at multiple points. However, since we derived critical points by taking derivatives without considering absolute values, maybe we need to check both critical points.But let's first consider φ = π/8, which is in [0, π/2). Then θ = 2φ = π/4. So z = e^{iπ/4} = (sqrt(2)/2, sqrt(2)/2). Let's compute f(z) at this point.Compute |z + 1|: z = (sqrt(2)/2 + i sqrt(2)/2). So z + 1 = (1 + sqrt(2)/2) + i sqrt(2)/2. The modulus squared is (1 + sqrt(2)/2)^2 + (sqrt(2)/2)^2 = 1 + sqrt(2) + (2)/4 + (2)/4 = 1 + sqrt(2) + 1 = 2 + sqrt(2). Therefore, |z + 1| = sqrt(2 + sqrt(2)).Compute |(overline{z}) - i|: (overline{z}) = sqrt(2)/2 - i sqrt(2)/2. Subtract i: sqrt(2)/2 - i (sqrt(2)/2 + 1). The modulus squared is (sqrt(2)/2)^2 + (sqrt(2)/2 + 1)^2 = (0.5) + (sqrt(2)/2 + 1)^2.Compute (sqrt(2)/2 + 1)^2 = (1 + sqrt(2)/2)^2 = 1 + sqrt(2) + (2)/4 = 1 + sqrt(2) + 0.5 = 1.5 + sqrt(2). Therefore, modulus squared is 0.5 + 1.5 + sqrt(2) = 2 + sqrt(2). Therefore, |(overline{z}) - i| = sqrt(2 + sqrt(2)).Therefore, f(z) = sqrt(2 + sqrt(2)) * sqrt(2 + sqrt(2)) = 2 + sqrt(2) ≈ 3.414.Now, let's check the other critical point where tanφ = -1 - sqrt(2). This would give φ = arctan(-1 - sqrt(2)). Since φ is in [0, π), arctan(-1 - sqrt(2)) would be in the second quadrant. Let's compute φ = π - arctan(1 + sqrt(2)). Let's compute arctan(1 + sqrt(2)). Since tan(3π/8) = tan(67.5°) = 1 + sqrt(2). Let me verify:tan(3π/8) = tan(67.5°). Using tan(θ) = sin(2θ)/(1 + cos(2θ)), with θ = 3π/8, so 2θ = 3π/4. So tan(3π/8) = sin(3π/4)/(1 + cos(3π/4)) = (sqrt(2)/2)/(1 - sqrt(2)/2). Multiply numerator and denominator by 2:sqrt(2) / (2 - sqrt(2)) = sqrt(2)(2 + sqrt(2)) / (4 - 2) ) = (2 sqrt(2) + 2)/2 = sqrt(2) + 1. Yes, correct. Therefore, arctan(1 + sqrt(2)) = 3π/8. Therefore, φ = π - 3π/8 = 5π/8. Then θ = 2φ = 5π/4. So z = e^{i5π/4} = (-sqrt(2)/2, -sqrt(2)/2).Compute |z + 1|: z = (-sqrt(2)/2, -sqrt(2)/2). So z + 1 = (1 - sqrt(2)/2) - i sqrt(2)/2. The modulus squared is (1 - sqrt(2)/2)^2 + (sqrt(2)/2)^2 = 1 - sqrt(2) + (2)/4 + (2)/4 = 1 - sqrt(2) + 1 = 2 - sqrt(2). Therefore, |z + 1| = sqrt(2 - sqrt(2)).Compute |(overline{z}) - i|: (overline{z}) = (-sqrt(2)/2) + i sqrt(2)/2. Subtract i: (-sqrt(2)/2) + i (sqrt(2)/2 - 1). Modulus squared is (sqrt(2)/2)^2 + (sqrt(2)/2 - 1)^2.Compute (sqrt(2)/2)^2 = 0.5, and (sqrt(2)/2 - 1)^2 = (1 - sqrt(2)/2)^2 = 1 - sqrt(2) + 0.5 = 1.5 - sqrt(2). Therefore, modulus squared is 0.5 + 1.5 - sqrt(2) = 2 - sqrt(2). Therefore, |(overline{z}) - i| = sqrt(2 - sqrt(2)).Thus, f(z) = sqrt(2 - sqrt(2)) * sqrt(2 - sqrt(2)) = 2 - sqrt(2) ≈ 0.585. Which is clearly a minimum. Therefore, the maximum occurs at θ = π/4, z = e^{iπ/4} = (sqrt(2)/2, sqrt(2)/2).Therefore, the maximum value of f(z) is 2 + sqrt(2). Now, the problem states that when f(z) takes its maximum value, the shape formed by Z (which is z), A(-1,0), and B(0,-1) is one of the given options.So, let's determine the distances between these three points when z is at (sqrt(2)/2, sqrt(2)/2). Let's compute the lengths of sides AB, AZ, and BZ.First, point A is (-1, 0), point B is (0, -1), and point Z is (sqrt(2)/2, sqrt(2)/2).Compute AB: distance between A and B. Using coordinates:AB = sqrt[(0 - (-1))^2 + (-1 - 0)^2] = sqrt[1 + 1] = sqrt(2).Compute AZ: distance between A and Z.AZ = sqrt[(sqrt(2)/2 - (-1))^2 + (sqrt(2)/2 - 0)^2] = sqrt[(sqrt(2)/2 + 1)^2 + (sqrt(2)/2)^2].Expand (sqrt(2)/2 + 1)^2 = (1 + sqrt(2)/2)^2 = 1 + sqrt(2) + (2)/4 = 1 + sqrt(2) + 0.5 = 1.5 + sqrt(2).Add (sqrt(2)/2)^2 = 0.5. So total inside sqrt is 1.5 + sqrt(2) + 0.5 = 2 + sqrt(2). Therefore, AZ = sqrt(2 + sqrt(2)).Similarly, compute BZ: distance between B and Z.BZ = sqrt[(sqrt(2)/2 - 0)^2 + (sqrt(2)/2 - (-1))^2] = sqrt[(sqrt(2)/2)^2 + (sqrt(2)/2 + 1)^2].Which is the same as AZ, so sqrt(2 + sqrt(2)).Therefore, the triangle has sides AB = sqrt(2), AZ = sqrt(2 + sqrt(2)), BZ = sqrt(2 + sqrt(2)). Therefore, two sides are equal (AZ and BZ), so it's an isosceles triangle. But we need to check if it's a right triangle or an isosceles right triangle.Check if the triangle is right-angled. For that, we can check the Pythagorean theorem. Let's see: the sides are sqrt(2), sqrt(2 + sqrt(2)), sqrt(2 + sqrt(2)).The longest side is sqrt(2 + sqrt(2)) ≈ sqrt(2 + 1.414) ≈ sqrt(3.414) ≈ 1.847, while AB is sqrt(2) ≈ 1.414. So the two equal sides are longer than AB. Let's check if (sqrt(2 + sqrt(2)))^2 + (sqrt(2 + sqrt(2)))^2 = (sqrt(2))^2? That would be 2 + sqrt(2) + 2 + sqrt(2) = 4 + 2 sqrt(2) vs 2. Not equal. So not a right angle between the two equal sides.Alternatively, check if (sqrt(2))^2 + (sqrt(2 + sqrt(2)))^2 = (sqrt(2 + sqrt(2)))^2. But that would be 2 + (2 + sqrt(2)) = 4 + sqrt(2) vs (2 + sqrt(2)) = 2 + sqrt(2). Not equal. Wait, maybe I need to check another combination.Alternatively, maybe the right angle is at Z. So check if AZ² + BZ² = AB². AZ² + BZ² = (2 + sqrt(2)) + (2 + sqrt(2)) = 4 + 2 sqrt(2). AB² = 2. Not equal. Alternatively, AZ² + AB² = 2 + sqrt(2) + 2 = 4 + sqrt(2). Compare with BZ² = 2 + sqrt(2). Not equal. Similarly for other combinations. Therefore, not a right triangle.Wait, but perhaps there is a right angle. Alternatively, compute the vectors to check the angles.Compute vectors:From A to Z: (sqrt(2)/2 +1, sqrt(2)/2 -0) = (sqrt(2)/2 +1, sqrt(2)/2)From A to B: (0 - (-1), -1 -0) = (1, -1)From B to Z: (sqrt(2)/2 -0, sqrt(2)/2 - (-1)) = (sqrt(2)/2, sqrt(2)/2 +1)From B to A: (-1 -0, 0 - (-1)) = (-1, 1)From Z to A: (-1 - sqrt(2)/2, 0 - sqrt(2)/2)From Z to B: (0 - sqrt(2)/2, -1 - sqrt(2)/2)To check if any two vectors are perpendicular, their dot product should be zero.Check vectors AZ and BZ. Wait, but AZ and BZ are sides from A to Z and B to Z. Wait, perhaps check angle at Z. The vectors would be ZA and ZB.ZA vector: A - Z = (-1 - sqrt(2)/2, - sqrt(2)/2)ZB vector: B - Z = (- sqrt(2)/2, -1 - sqrt(2)/2)Compute their dot product:(-1 - sqrt(2)/2)(- sqrt(2)/2) + (- sqrt(2)/2)(-1 - sqrt(2)/2) =[ (1 + sqrt(2)/2)(sqrt(2)/2) ] + [ (sqrt(2)/2)(1 + sqrt(2)/2) ]= 2*(1 + sqrt(2)/2)(sqrt(2)/2)Compute (1 + sqrt(2)/2)(sqrt(2)/2) = sqrt(2)/2 + (sqrt(2)/2)(sqrt(2)/2) = sqrt(2)/2 + (2)/4 = sqrt(2)/2 + 1/2Therefore, the dot product is 2*(sqrt(2)/2 + 1/2) = sqrt(2) + 1 ≈ 1.414 +1 = 2.414, which is not zero. Therefore, angle at Z is not right angle.Check angle at A: vectors AB and AZ.AB vector: B - A = (1, -1)AZ vector: Z - A = (sqrt(2)/2 +1, sqrt(2)/2)Dot product: 1*(sqrt(2)/2 +1) + (-1)*(sqrt(2)/2) = sqrt(2)/2 +1 - sqrt(2)/2 =1. Not zero.Angle at B: vectors BA and BZ.BA vector: A - B = (-1,1)BZ vector: Z - B = (sqrt(2)/2, sqrt(2)/2 +1)Dot product: (-1)(sqrt(2)/2) + 1*(sqrt(2)/2 +1) = -sqrt(2)/2 + sqrt(2)/2 +1 =1. Not zero.Therefore, the triangle is isosceles but not a right triangle. So the answer would be B. However, wait the options include D. Isosceles right triangle. But according to our calculation, the triangle is isosceles but not right-angled. Hmm, maybe I made a mistake.Wait, let me double-check the distances. Maybe I miscalculated the distances.Point Z is (sqrt(2)/2, sqrt(2)/2).Distance AZ: between (-1,0) and (sqrt(2)/2, sqrt(2)/2):Δx = sqrt(2)/2 - (-1) = sqrt(2)/2 +1Δy = sqrt(2)/2 -0 = sqrt(2)/2So AZ² = (sqrt(2)/2 +1)^2 + (sqrt(2)/2)^2= ( (sqrt(2)/2)^2 + 2*(sqrt(2)/2)*1 +1^2 ) + (sqrt(2)/2)^2= (0.5 + sqrt(2) +1 ) +0.5= 0.5 + sqrt(2) +1 +0.5 = 2 + sqrt(2). Correct.Similarly, BZ: between (0,-1) and (sqrt(2)/2, sqrt(2)/2):Δx = sqrt(2)/2 -0 = sqrt(2)/2Δy = sqrt(2)/2 - (-1) = sqrt(2)/2 +1So same as AZ, squared distance is 0.5 + (sqrt(2)/2 +1)^2 = same as AZ, hence 2 + sqrt(2). Correct.AB: between (-1,0) and (0,-1):Distance squared = (1)^2 + (1)^2 =2. Correct.So sides are sqrt(2), sqrt(2 + sqrt(2)), sqrt(2 + sqrt(2)).Wait, maybe we can compute angles. For an isosceles triangle with two equal sides, the base angles are equal. But to check if it's a right triangle, maybe there's another approach.Alternatively, let's compute the angles using the coordinates.Vectors at point A: from A to Z and A to B.Vector AZ: (sqrt(2)/2 +1, sqrt(2)/2)Vector AB: (1, -1)The angle at A can be found using the dot product formula:cosθ = (AZ · AB) / (|AZ| |AB| )We computed earlier that the dot product is 1. Therefore,cosθ = 1 / (sqrt(2 + sqrt(2)) * sqrt(2)) )Compute sqrt(2 + sqrt(2)) * sqrt(2) = sqrt(2*(2 + sqrt(2))) = sqrt(4 + 2 sqrt(2))Therefore, cosθ = 1 / sqrt(4 + 2 sqrt(2)).Let me rationalize this:Multiply numerator and denominator by sqrt(4 + 2 sqrt(2)):cosθ = sqrt(4 + 2 sqrt(2)) / (4 + 2 sqrt(2)).But this seems complicated. Alternatively, compute numerically:sqrt(2 + sqrt(2)) ≈ sqrt(2 +1.414) ≈ sqrt(3.414) ≈1.847sqrt(2) ≈1.414So denominator ≈1.847 *1.414≈2.613cosθ ≈1/2.613≈0.3826Which corresponds to θ≈67.5 degrees.Similarly, at point B, angle would be the same as the triangle is isosceles.The apex angle at Z would be 180 - 2*67.5 = 45 degrees. So angles are 67.5°, 67.5°, 45°, which does not include a 90° angle. Hence, not a right triangle. Therefore, the answer should be B. Isosceles triangle.But wait, the options include C. Right triangle and D. Isosceles right triangle.Wait, maybe there's a miscalculation here. Alternatively, perhaps my assumption about where the maximum occurs is wrong. Let me verify.Wait, earlier when I found that the maximum occurs at θ = π/4, but maybe there's another point where f(z) is maximized?Wait, the unit circle is symmetric. When we derived the critical points, we found φ = π/8 and φ = 5π/8, corresponding to θ = π/4 and θ =5π/4. But at θ =5π/4, the function f(z) was minimized, so the maximum is at θ=π/4. Therefore, point Z is at (sqrt(2)/2, sqrt(2)/2). Therefore, coordinates as mentioned.Alternatively, perhaps the problem is not asking for when f(z) is maximized but when the triangle ZAB is a certain shape. Wait, the problem states: "the function f(z)=|(z+1)((overline{z})−i)| takes its maximum value, and the shape on the complex plane with Z, A, and B as vertices is:..."So, when f(z) is maximized, the triangle ZAB is which of the options. Therefore, according to our calculation, it's an isosceles triangle. So answer B.But wait, let me check another approach. Maybe by coordinates.Point A(-1,0), B(0,-1), Z( sqrt(2)/2, sqrt(2)/2 )Compute the lengths:AB: sqrt( (0 - (-1))^2 + (-1 -0)^2 ) = sqrt(1 +1 )=sqrt(2)AZ: sqrt( (sqrt(2)/2 +1)^2 + (sqrt(2)/2)^2 )Let me compute (sqrt(2)/2 +1)^2:= (sqrt(2)/2)^2 + 2*sqrt(2)/2*1 +1^2= 0.5 + sqrt(2) +1 =1.5 + sqrt(2)Add (sqrt(2)/2)^2=0.5Total AZ²=1.5 + sqrt(2)+0.5=2 + sqrt(2)Similarly BZ is same.Therefore, sides AZ=BZ= sqrt(2 + sqrt(2)), AB= sqrt(2). Therefore, two sides equal, so isosceles.Is it a right triangle? Let's compute AZ² + BZ² vs AB².AZ² + BZ²=2*(2 + sqrt(2))=4 + 2 sqrt(2)AB²=2Clearly 4 + 2 sqrt(2) ≈6.828 ≠ 2, so not equal.Alternatively, AZ² + AB²= (2 + sqrt(2)) +2=4 + sqrt(2) vs BZ²=2 + sqrt(2). Not equal.Therefore, not a right triangle. Hence, answer is B. Isosceles triangle.But let me check if it's an isosceles right triangle. For that, two legs must be equal and the hypotenuse must be leg*sqrt(2). Here, legs AZ and BZ are equal, and hypotenuse AB is sqrt(2). If legs were x, then hypotenuse would be x*sqrt(2). Here, legs are sqrt(2 + sqrt(2)), so hypotenuse would be sqrt(2 + sqrt(2)) * sqrt(2) = sqrt(2*(2 + sqrt(2))) = sqrt(4 + 2 sqrt(2)). But AB is sqrt(2), which is not equal. Therefore, it's not a right triangle.Hence, the answer is B. Isosceles triangle.But wait, the options given include D. Isosceles right triangle. Why is that an option? Maybe I made a mistake in calculation. Alternatively, perhaps when f(z) is maximized, the point Z is different.Wait, perhaps my initial assumption that the maximum occurs at θ=π/4 is incorrect. Let me verify by testing another point.Suppose z is at (0,1). Then |z|=1. Compute f(z):(z +1)=(0+1,1+0)=(1,1), so |z+1|=sqrt(2).(overline{z})=0 -i*1, so (overline{z}) -i=0 -i*1 -i=0 -2i. Then |(overline{z}) -i|=2.So f(z)=sqrt(2)*2=2 sqrt(2)≈2.828. Earlier, at θ=π/4, f(z)=2 + sqrt(2)≈3.414, which is bigger. So the maximum is indeed at θ=π/4.Alternatively, testing z=(1,0). Then |z +1|=2, (overline{z})=1, so (overline{z}) -i=1 -i, modulus sqrt(2). So f(z)=2*sqrt(2)≈2.828. Still less than 3.414.Alternatively, z=(0,-1). Then |z +1|=sqrt( (0+1)^2 + (-1)^2 )=sqrt(2). (overline{z})=0 +i, (overline{z}) -i=0, so modulus 0. Hence, f(z)=0.Therefore, the maximum is indeed at z=(sqrt(2)/2, sqrt(2)/2). Therefore, the triangle is isosceles, answer B.But why is option D present? Maybe the problem is in Chinese, and the translation might have different points? Wait, no. Points A and B are fixed at (-1,0) and (0,-1). So regardless, according to calculations, the triangle is isosceles but not right-angled. Therefore, the correct answer should be B.But let me think again. Maybe there is an error in the calculation of the distances. Let me recompute AZ and BZ.AZ: from (-1,0) to (sqrt(2)/2, sqrt(2)/2):Δx = sqrt(2)/2 - (-1) = sqrt(2)/2 +1 ≈0.707 +1=1.707Δy = sqrt(2)/2 -0≈0.707So distance AZ≈sqrt( (1.707)^2 + (0.707)^2 )≈sqrt(2.917 +0.5)=sqrt(3.417)≈1.848Similarly AB is sqrt(2)≈1.414If the triangle is isosceles, then two sides are ≈1.848 and one is≈1.414. So indeed, two sides are equal. Not a right triangle.Alternatively, perhaps using vectors to check orthogonality.Vector AZ: (1.707, 0.707)Vector BZ: from B(0,-1) to Z( sqrt(2)/2, sqrt(2)/2 )Δx = sqrt(2)/2 -0≈0.707Δy = sqrt(2)/2 - (-1)=0.707 +1=1.707So vector BZ≈(0.707,1.707)Dot product of AZ and BZ:1.707*0.707 +0.707*1.707≈2*(1.707*0.707)≈2*(1.207)≈2.414≠0Therefore, not orthogonal. Hence, no right angle.Therefore, conclusion: the triangle is isosceles, option B. So why is option D present? Maybe the problem is different? Or perhaps miscalculation in process.Wait, let me check another possibility. Maybe the maximum of f(z) occurs at a different point where the triangle is isosceles right.Wait, suppose z is at (0,1). Then, as before, f(z)=2*sqrt(2). But the triangle ZAB would have points (0,1), (-1,0), (0,-1). Compute the distances:AZ: from (-1,0) to (0,1): sqrt(1^2 +1^2)=sqrt(2)BZ: from (0,-1) to (0,1):2AB:sqrt(2)So the triangle has sides sqrt(2), sqrt(2), 2. This is an isosceles right triangle, because (sqrt(2))^2 + (sqrt(2))^2 =2 +2=4=2^2. Therefore, right-angled at Z.But in this case, f(z)=2*sqrt(2)≈2.828 which is less than the previous maximum of 2 + sqrt(2)≈3.414. Therefore, this is not the maximum point. Therefore, even though at z=(0,1) the triangle is isosceles right, this is not where the maximum of f(z) occurs. Therefore, the answer when at maximum is isosceles triangle, option B.Hence, the correct answer should be B.Final Answerboxed{D}Wait, the final answer given here is D, but the reasoning concluded B. This inconsistency suggests a possible error in the thought process. Let me review again.Wait, perhaps there was a mistake in calculating the angles. Earlier, when calculating the angles, I found that the angle at Z was 45 degrees, and the other two angles were 67.5 degrees each. However, in a right triangle, one angle must be 90 degrees. Therefore, if none of the angles is 90 degrees, it can't be a right triangle. But the answer provided here is D, which is isosceles right triangle. This contradiction indicates an error.Wait, let me re-express the coordinates of point Z when f(z) is maximized. Earlier, we said z is at (sqrt(2)/2, sqrt(2)/2), which is (cos π/4, sin π/4). Let's compute the distances again.AB: sqrt(2), AZ and BZ: sqrt(2 + sqrt(2)).Wait, sqrt(2 + sqrt(2)) is approximately 1.847. Let's square this: (sqrt(2 + sqrt(2)))^2 =2 + sqrt(2). Now, if we compute AZ² + BZ² =2*(2 + sqrt(2))=4 + 2 sqrt(2). Compare with AB²=2. Clearly not equal. So Pythagorean theorem isn't satisfied. Hence, not a right triangle.But perhaps there's a different approach. Let's consider the triangle with vertices at (-1,0), (0,-1), and (sqrt(2)/2, sqrt(2)/2). Let's use vectors to check for orthogonality.Vector from Z to A: (-1 - sqrt(2)/2, - sqrt(2)/2)Vector from Z to B: (- sqrt(2)/2, -1 - sqrt(2)/2)Dot product: [(-1 - sqrt(2)/2)(- sqrt(2)/2)] + [(- sqrt(2)/2)(-1 - sqrt(2)/2)]= (sqrt(2)/2 + (sqrt(2)/2)^2) + (sqrt(2)/2 + (sqrt(2)/2)^2)= sqrt(2)/2 + 0.5 + sqrt(2)/2 +0.5= sqrt(2) +1This is non-zero, so the angle at Z is not 90 degrees.Alternatively, compute the slopes. Slope of AZ: (sqrt(2)/2 -0)/(sqrt(2)/2 -(-1))= (sqrt(2)/2)/(sqrt(2)/2 +1)Slope of BZ: (sqrt(2)/2 -(-1))/(sqrt(2)/2 -0)= (sqrt(2)/2 +1)/(sqrt(2)/2 )If the product of the slopes is -1, they are perpendicular. Compute:[ (sqrt(2)/2)/(sqrt(2)/2 +1) ] * [ (sqrt(2)/2 +1)/(sqrt(2)/2) ] = 1 ≠ -1. Therefore, not perpendicular.Hence, no right angle.But the initial answer was D, isosceles right triangle, which contradicts the analysis. However, in the initial thought process, the assistant concluded B but then the final answer was D. This is contradictory.Rechecking the problem statement:"the function ( f(z)=|(z+1)(bar{z}-i)| ) takes its maximum value, and the shape on the complex plane with ( Z ), ( A ), and ( B ) as vertices is:"Wait, perhaps there is a misunderstanding in the problem statement. The problem might be stating that when the function takes its maximum value, the shape formed is one of the options. According to the calculations, at maximum f(z), the triangle is isosceles. However, according to the options given, the answer should be B. But the assistant initially wrote boxed D, which is incorrect.Therefore, the correct answer is B. However, the initial assistant's process had a mistake in the final answer. Hence, the correct answer is B.Final Answerboxed{B}

✅:Given the complex number ( z ) with ( |z| = 1 ), points ( A(-1,0) ) and ( B(0,-1) ), and the function ( f(z) = |(z+1)(overline{z} - i)| ), we need to determine the shape of the triangle formed by ( Z ), ( A ), and ( B ) when ( f(z) ) takes its maximum value.1. Understanding ( f(z) ): - ( z ) is on the unit circle, so ( z = e^{itheta} ). - ( overline{z} = costheta - isintheta ). - ( f(z) = |(z + 1)(overline{z} - i)| ).2. Modulus Calculations: - ( |z + 1| = sqrt{2 + 2costheta} ). - ( |overline{z} - i| = sqrt{2 + 2sintheta} ). - ( f(z) = sqrt{(2 + 2costheta)(2 + 2sintheta)} ).3. Maximizing ( f(z) ): - Using trigonometric identities and critical points, the maximum value occurs at ( theta = frac{pi}{4} ). - Corresponding ( z = e^{ipi/4} = left( frac{sqrt{2}}{2}, frac{sqrt{2}}{2} right) ).4. Distance Calculations: - ( AB = sqrt{(0 - (-1))^2 + (-1 - 0)^2} = sqrt{2} ). - ( AZ = sqrt{left( frac{sqrt{2}}{2} + 1 right)^2 + left( frac{sqrt{2}}{2} right)^2} = sqrt{2 + sqrt{2}} ). - ( BZ = sqrt{left( frac{sqrt{2}}{2} right)^2 + left( frac{sqrt{2}}{2} + 1 right)^2} = sqrt{2 + sqrt{2}} ).5. Triangle Analysis: - ( AZ = BZ ), indicating an isosceles triangle. - Checking for right angles using the Pythagorean theorem and dot products confirms no right angle.Thus, the shape formed by ( Z ), ( A ), and ( B ) when ( f(z) ) is maximized is an isosceles triangle.boxed{B}

🔑:To determine the configuration of points A, B, and Z when the function f(z) = |(z+1)(bar{z}-i)| reaches its maximum, we start by analyzing the properties of z and the function f(z). Here are the detailed steps:1. Given Conditions: - The complex number ( z ) satisfies ( |z| = 1 ). This means ( z ) lies on the unit circle in the complex plane. - Points ( A ) and ( B ) have coordinates ( A(-1, 0) ) and ( B(0, -1) ) respectively.2. Representation of ( z ): - We can represent ( z ) using Euler’s formula in terms of ( theta ): [ z = cos theta + i sin theta ]3. Conjugate of ( z ): - The conjugate of ( z ) is: [ bar{z} = cos theta - i sin theta ]4. Function ( f(z) ): - Substituting ( z = cos theta + i sin theta ) and ( bar{z} = cos theta - i sin theta ) into the function ( f(z) ): [ f(z) = |(z+1)(bar{z} - i)| ]5. Expand ( f(z) ): - First, simplify ( (z + 1) ): [ z + 1 = (cos theta + 1) + i sin theta ] - Then, simplify ( (bar{z} - i) ): [ bar{z} - i = cos theta - i (sin theta + 1) ] - Multiply the terms: [ (z+1)(bar{z} - i) = [(cos theta + 1) + i sin theta][cos theta - i (sin theta + 1)] ]6. Expanding the Product: - Multiply out the components: [ (z+1)(bar{z} - i) = (cos theta + 1)cos theta - (cos theta + 1)i(sin theta + 1) + i sin theta cos theta + sin theta (sin theta + 1) ] - Combine and simplify: [ = cos theta (cos theta + 1) + sin theta (sin theta + 1) + i [sin theta cos theta - (cos theta + 1)(sin theta + 1)] ] [ = (cos theta^2 + cos theta + sin theta^2 + sin theta) + i [sin theta cos theta - (cos theta sin theta + cos theta + sin theta + 1)] ] [ = (1 + cos theta + sin theta + cos theta sin theta + sin theta cos theta) - i (1 + cos theta + sin theta + cos theta sin theta) ]7. Magnitude of ( f(z) ): - Calculate the magnitude: [ f(z) = sqrt{(1 + cos theta + sin theta)^2 + (1 + cos theta + sin theta)^2} ] - Simplify: [ f(z) = sqrt{2[1 + sin(theta + pi/4)]^2} ]8. Maximum of ( f(z) ): - The maximum value of ( f(z) ) occurs when: [ 1 + sin(theta + pi/4) = 1 + 1 = 2 ] - Thus, the maximum value is: [ f(z) = sqrt{2 times 4} = 2sqrt{2} ]9. Coordinates corresponding to maximum ( f(z) ): - This occurs when ( theta = frac{pi}{4} ): [ z = cos frac{pi}{4} + i sin frac{pi}{4} = frac{sqrt{2}}{2} + i frac{sqrt{2}}{2} ]10. Geometric Interpretation: - The points ( A(-1, 0) ), ( B(0, -1) ), and ( Z left( frac{sqrt{2}}{2}, frac{sqrt{2}}{2} right) ) form a triangle. - Since ( |Z - A| = |Z - B| ), triangle ( triangle ABZ ) must be isosceles. Conclusion:[boxed{text{B. Isosceles triangle}}]
