🧠:<think>To determine the probability that the product of the numbers rolled on 8 standard 6-sided dice is divisible by 8, we use complementary counting. We calculate the probability that the product is not divisible by 8 and subtract it from 1.Step 1: Probability that the product is not divisible by 2.For the product to not be divisible by 2, all eight numbers rolled must be odd (1, 3, or 5). The probability of rolling an odd number on one die is ( frac{3}{6} = frac{1}{2} ). Thus, the probability that all eight dice show odd numbers is:[left( frac{1}{2} right)^8 = frac{1}{256}]Step 2: Probability that the product is divisible by 2 but not by 4.This occurs if exactly one die shows a '2' (contributing one factor of 2) and the rest show odd numbers. The probability is:[8 times left( frac{1}{6} right) times left( frac{1}{2} right)^7 = 8 times frac{1}{6} times frac{1}{128} = frac{8}{768} = frac{1}{96}]Step 3: Probability that the product is divisible by 4 but not by 8.This can happen in two ways:1. Exactly one die shows a '4' (contributing two factors of 2) and the rest show odd numbers:[8 times left( frac{1}{6} right) times left( frac{1}{2} right)^7 = frac{1}{96}]2. Exactly two dice show '2's (each contributing one factor of 2) and the rest show odd numbers:[binom{8}{2} times left( frac{1}{6} right)^2 times left( frac{1}{2} right)^6 = 28 times frac{1}{36} times frac{1}{64} = frac{28}{2304} = frac{7}{576}]Summing these probabilities:[frac{1}{96} + frac{7}{576} = frac{6}{576} + frac{7}{576} = frac{13}{576}]Step 4: Total probability that the product is not divisible by 8.[frac{1}{256} + frac{1}{96} + frac{13}{576} = frac{1}{256} + frac{19}{576} = frac{9}{1152}]Step 5: Probability that the product is divisible by 8.[1 - frac{9}{1152} = frac{1152}{1152} - frac{9}{1152} = frac{1143}{1152}]Thus, the probability that the product is divisible by 8 is:[boxed{textbf{(B)} frac{1143}{1152}}]</think>

🧠:<think>Okay, so I need to figure out which statements about the function ( f(x) = 2^{2x} - 2^{x+1} + 2 ) are correct. The function has a domain ( M ) and a range of ([1, 2]). The statements given are:1. ( M = [0, 2] )2. ( M = (-infty, 1] )3. ( M subseteq (-infty, 1] )4. ( 0 in M )5. ( 1 in M )First, let me understand the function better. It might help to rewrite it in a simpler form. I notice that ( 2^{2x} ) can be written as ( (2^x)^2 ), so let me substitute ( y = 2^x ). Then, the function becomes:( f(x) = y^2 - 2 cdot y + 2 )Wait, that's a quadratic in terms of ( y ). Let me write it as:( f(x) = y^2 - 2y + 2 )Hmm, maybe I can complete the square here to make it easier to analyze. Completing the square for the quadratic:( y^2 - 2y + 1 + 1 = (y - 1)^2 + 1 )So, substituting back ( y = 2^x ), the function becomes:( f(x) = (2^x - 1)^2 + 1 )That's a much nicer form! Now, since ( (2^x - 1)^2 ) is a square term, it's always non-negative. Therefore, the smallest value it can take is 0, which happens when ( 2^x - 1 = 0 ) or ( 2^x = 1 ). Since ( 2^0 = 1 ), this occurs at ( x = 0 ). So, the minimum value of ( f(x) ) is ( 0 + 1 = 1 ). That matches the given range of ([1, 2]). Now, the maximum value of the function is 2. Let's see when that happens. We have:( (2^x - 1)^2 + 1 = 2 )Subtracting 1 from both sides:( (2^x - 1)^2 = 1 )Taking square roots:( 2^x - 1 = pm 1 )So, two cases:1. ( 2^x - 1 = 1 ) --> ( 2^x = 2 ) --> ( x = 1 )2. ( 2^x - 1 = -1 ) --> ( 2^x = 0 ). Wait, ( 2^x ) is always positive, so this equation has no solution.Therefore, the maximum value of 2 occurs only at ( x = 1 ).So far, I know that ( f(0) = 1 ) and ( f(1) = 2 ). But what about the domain ( M )? The function is defined for all real numbers because exponential functions are defined for all ( x ). However, the range is given as ([1, 2]), which suggests that the function only takes values between 1 and 2. Wait, that might mean that the function's natural domain is all real numbers, but since the range is restricted to ([1, 2]), the domain ( M ) must be such that ( f(x) ) only produces values in that range. Looking back at the function ( f(x) = (2^x - 1)^2 + 1 ), since it's a continuous function, it will take all values between its minimum and maximum as ( x ) varies. But in this case, the range is given as ([1, 2]), so ( f(x) ) must achieve all values between 1 and 2. But wait, in reality, ( f(x) ) can take values beyond 2 if ( x ) is large enough. For example, if ( x = 2 ), then ( f(2) = 2^{4} - 2^{3} + 2 = 16 - 8 + 2 = 10 ). So, to restrict the range to ([1, 2]), the domain ( M ) must be such that ( f(x) ) doesn't exceed 2 or go below 1. Wait, but ( f(x) ) has a minimum value of 1 at ( x = 0 ) and a maximum value of 2 at ( x = 1 ). So, if we consider ( x ) in the interval ([0, 1]), ( f(x) ) will vary between 1 and 2. But if we go beyond ( x = 1 ), ( f(x) ) will start increasing again beyond 2. Similarly, if we go below ( x = 0 ), what happens? Let's check ( x = -1 ):( f(-1) = 2^{-2} - 2^{0} + 2 = 1/4 - 1 + 2 = 1/4 + 1 = 5/4 = 1.25 ), which is within the range ([1, 2]). Hmm, interesting. So, as ( x ) decreases below 0, ( 2^x ) approaches 0, so ( (2^x - 1)^2 ) approaches 1, so ( f(x) ) approaches 2 from below. Wait, actually, let's compute ( f(-1) ):Wait, ( 2^{-1} = 1/2 ), so ( (1/2 - 1)^2 + 1 = (-1/2)^2 + 1 = 1/4 + 1 = 5/4 = 1.25 ), which is within [1, 2]. Similarly, as ( x ) approaches negative infinity, ( 2^x ) approaches 0, so ( (0 - 1)^2 + 1 = 1 + 1 = 2 ). So, as ( x ) approaches negative infinity, ( f(x) ) approaches 2 from below.Wait, but at ( x = 1 ), ( f(x) = 2 ). So, if we consider ( x ) in ( (-infty, 1] ), then ( f(x) ) will take all values from 1 up to 2. Because as ( x ) increases from negative infinity to 0, ( f(x) ) increases from 2 down to 1, and then as ( x ) increases from 0 to 1, ( f(x) ) increases back up to 2. Wait, that doesn't sound right. Let me double-check.Actually, when ( x ) increases, ( 2^x ) increases. So, let's analyze the behavior:- As ( x to -infty ), ( 2^x to 0 ), so ( (2^x - 1)^2 to (0 - 1)^2 = 1 ), so ( f(x) to 1 + 1 = 2 ).- At ( x = 0 ), ( f(0) = (1 - 1)^2 + 1 = 0 + 1 = 1 ).- At ( x = 1 ), ( f(1) = (2 - 1)^2 + 1 = 1 + 1 = 2 ).- As ( x to infty ), ( 2^x to infty ), so ( (2^x - 1)^2 to infty ), so ( f(x) to infty ).So, the function decreases from ( x = -infty ) to ( x = 0 ), reaching a minimum at ( x = 0 ), then increases again from ( x = 0 ) to ( x = infty ), with the maximum at ( x = 1 ) being 2, but beyond that, it keeps increasing.Wait, but that contradicts my earlier thought. Let me plot the function mentally:- For ( x ) very negative, ( f(x) ) is near 2.- At ( x = 0 ), it's 1.- At ( x = 1 ), it's back to 2.- For ( x > 1 ), it goes above 2.So, the function has a V-shape with the minimum at ( x = 0 ). Therefore, if we want the range to be exactly ([1, 2]), the domain ( M ) must be such that ( f(x) ) doesn't go above 2 or below 1. But since the function naturally goes below 2 as ( x ) approaches negative infinity, but it's already capped at 2 as the maximum at ( x = 1 ), and the minimum is 1 at ( x = 0 ).Wait, no. Actually, the function's minimum is 1, and it can go up to 2 and beyond. So, if the range is restricted to ([1, 2]), then the domain must be such that ( f(x) ) doesn't exceed 2. That means ( x ) cannot be greater than 1 because beyond ( x = 1 ), ( f(x) ) exceeds 2. Similarly, for ( x < 0 ), the function is still within [1, 2] because as ( x ) decreases, ( f(x) ) approaches 2 but never exceeds it. Wait, but when ( x ) is negative, ( f(x) ) is between 1 and 2, right?Wait, let me test ( x = -2 ):( f(-2) = 2^{-4} - 2^{-1} + 2 = 1/16 - 1/2 + 2 = (1 - 8 + 32)/16 = 25/16 ≈ 1.5625 ), which is within [1, 2].Similarly, ( x = -3 ):( f(-3) = 2^{-6} - 2^{-2} + 2 = 1/64 - 1/4 + 2 ≈ 0.0156 - 0.25 + 2 ≈ 1.7656 ), still within [1, 2].So, for all ( x leq 1 ), ( f(x) ) is within [1, 2]. Because:- For ( x leq 0 ), ( f(x) ) is between 1 and 2.- For ( 0 < x leq 1 ), ( f(x) ) increases from 1 to 2.- For ( x > 1 ), ( f(x) ) exceeds 2.Therefore, to have the range exactly ([1, 2]), the domain ( M ) must be ( (-infty, 1] ). Because if ( x ) is greater than 1, ( f(x) ) goes above 2, which is outside the given range.Wait, but the function's natural domain is all real numbers, but the range is restricted to [1, 2], so the domain ( M ) is restricted to the set of ( x ) for which ( f(x) in [1, 2] ). So, solving for ( x ) such that ( 1 leq (2^x - 1)^2 + 1 leq 2 ).Let me solve the inequalities:First, ( (2^x - 1)^2 + 1 geq 1 ) is always true because squares are non-negative.Second, ( (2^x - 1)^2 + 1 leq 2 ) implies ( (2^x - 1)^2 leq 1 ).So, ( |2^x - 1| leq 1 ).This gives two inequalities:1. ( 2^x - 1 leq 1 ) --> ( 2^x leq 2 ) --> ( x leq 1 )2. ( 2^x - 1 geq -1 ) --> ( 2^x geq 0 ), which is always true since ( 2^x > 0 ) for all real ( x ).Therefore, the domain ( M ) is ( (-infty, 1] ).So, now let's check the statements:1. ( M = [0, 2] ): This is incorrect because ( M ) includes all ( x leq 1 ), not just between 0 and 2. In fact, ( x ) can be less than 0, and up to 1, but not beyond 1. So, this is wrong.2. ( M = (-infty, 1] ): This is correct based on our analysis.3. ( M subseteq (-infty, 1] ): Since ( M = (-infty, 1] ), this is trivially true because any set is a subset of itself. So, this is correct.4. ( 0 in M ): Yes, because ( M ) includes all ( x leq 1 ), so 0 is included. Correct.5. ( 1 in M ): Yes, since ( M ) includes 1. Correct.Wait, but in my initial analysis, I thought the function's maximum is at ( x = 1 ), and the minimum at ( x = 0 ). So, both 0 and 1 are included in ( M ).But wait, the function is defined for all ( x leq 1 ), so yes, 0 and 1 are in ( M ).But the answer provided earlier was (3), (4), (5). But according to my analysis, (2) is also correct because ( M = (-infty, 1] ). So, why was (2) incorrect in the initial answer?Wait, perhaps I made a mistake. Let me double-check.The initial answer said that ( M = (-infty, 1] ) is not necessarily correct because when ( M = [0, 1] ), the range is still [1, 2]. But wait, that's not the case. Because if ( M = [0, 1] ), then ( f(x) ) can take values from 1 to 2. However, if ( M ) is restricted to [0,1], then the function's range is still [1,2]. But the original problem states that the range is [1,2], so the domain ( M ) must be the set of all ( x ) such that ( f(x) in [1,2] ). Which, as we found, is ( (-infty, 1] ). Because for ( x leq 1 ), ( f(x) ) is within [1,2], and for ( x > 1 ), it's above 2.Wait, but if someone takes ( M = [0,1] ), then ( f(x) ) will have range [1,2]. So, does that mean that ( M ) could be any subset of ( (-infty, 1] ) that includes at least [0,1]? But the problem says the domain is ( M ) and the range is [1,2]. So, ( M ) must be the largest possible domain such that the range is exactly [1,2]. Therefore, ( M ) must be ( (-infty, 1] ), because if you take a smaller domain, like [0,1], the range is still [1,2], but the largest possible domain is ( (-infty, 1] ).Wait, but the problem doesn't specify whether ( M ) is the maximal domain or just any domain that gives the range [1,2]. If it's just any domain, then ( M ) could be [0,1], or [0,1], but the problem says "the domain as ( M )", which might imply the maximal domain. But I'm not sure.Wait, in the initial answer, the assistant concluded that (2) is incorrect because if ( M = [0,1] ), the range is still [1,2], so ( M ) doesn't have to be ( (-infty,1] ). But that might be a misinterpretation. Because if the function's natural domain is all real numbers, but the range is restricted to [1,2], then the domain ( M ) must be the set of all ( x ) such that ( f(x) in [1,2] ), which is ( (-infty,1] ). Therefore, the domain ( M ) is uniquely determined as ( (-infty,1] ).Wait, but the problem states "the domain as ( M )" and "range as [1,2]". So, it's possible that ( M ) is any domain that results in the range [1,2]. Therefore, ( M ) could be any subset of ( (-infty,1] ) that includes at least the interval where ( f(x) ) reaches 1 and 2, which is [0,1]. But the problem doesn't specify whether ( M ) is the maximal domain or not. However, in the initial answer, the assistant considered that if ( M = [0,1] ), then the range is [1,2], so ( M ) doesn't have to be ( (-infty,1] ). Therefore, (2) is incorrect because ( M ) could be a subset of ( (-infty,1] ), but not necessarily the entire ( (-infty,1] ).Wait, but that's a bit confusing. Let me clarify:If the function is defined with domain ( M ) and range [1,2], then ( M ) must be exactly the set of ( x ) such that ( f(x) in [1,2] ). Since ( f(x) in [1,2] ) if and only if ( x in (-infty,1] ), then ( M ) must be ( (-infty,1] ). Therefore, statement (2) is correct.But the initial answer said that (2) is incorrect because ( M ) could be [0,1]. But that would only be the case if the problem allowed ( M ) to be any subset, but I think the standard interpretation is that ( M ) is the maximal domain that gives the range [1,2]. Therefore, ( M ) must be ( (-infty,1] ).Wait, but I'm conflicting with the initial answer. Let me try to see:Given ( f(x) = 2^{2x} - 2^{x+1} + 2 ), and the range is [1,2], then the domain ( M ) must be all ( x ) such that ( f(x) in [1,2] ). As we found, ( f(x) in [1,2] ) if and only if ( x in (-infty,1] ). Therefore, ( M = (-infty,1] ). So, statement (2) is correct.But in the initial answer, it was said that (2) is incorrect because if ( M = [0,1] ), the range is still [1,2]. But that's a misunderstanding because the problem states that the range is [1,2], so ( M ) must be the set of all ( x ) for which ( f(x) in [1,2] ). Therefore, ( M ) must be ( (-infty,1] ), not just [0,1].Wait, but if someone defines the function with domain [0,1], then the range is [1,2]. But the problem says "the function ( f(x) ) with its domain as ( M ) and its range as [1,2]". So, ( M ) is the domain that makes the range [1,2]. Therefore, ( M ) is the set of all ( x ) such that ( f(x) in [1,2] ), which is ( (-infty,1] ). Therefore, statement (2) is correct.But in the initial answer, the assistant concluded that (2) is incorrect because ( M ) could be [0,1]. But that's only if the problem allows ( M ) to be any domain that gives the range [1,2], but the problem says "the domain as ( M )", which suggests that ( M ) is uniquely determined as the maximal domain. Therefore, statement (2) is correct.Wait, but I'm getting confused. Let me check:If ( M = (-infty,1] ), then the range is [1,2]. If ( M ) is a subset of ( (-infty,1] ), say [0,1], then the range is still [1,2]. Therefore, ( M ) could be any subset of ( (-infty,1] ) that includes [0,1]. But the problem says "the domain as ( M )", which might imply that ( M ) is the maximal domain, i.e., ( (-infty,1] ). Therefore, statement (2) is correct.But in the initial answer, the assistant said that (2) is incorrect because ( M = [0,1] ) also gives the range [1,2], so ( M ) is not necessarily ( (-infty,1] ). But that's a misunderstanding because the problem states that the range is [1,2], so ( M ) must be the set of all ( x ) such that ( f(x) in [1,2] ), which is ( (-infty,1] ). Therefore, statement (2) is correct.Wait, but I think the confusion arises from whether ( M ) is the maximal domain or just any domain that gives the range [1,2]. If it's the former, then ( M = (-infty,1] ). If it's the latter, then ( M ) could be any subset of ( (-infty,1] ) that includes [0,1]. But the problem says "the function ( f(x) ) with its domain as ( M ) and its range as [1,2]". So, it's more likely that ( M ) is the maximal domain, meaning ( M = (-infty,1] ). Therefore, statement (2) is correct.But in the initial answer, the assistant concluded that (2) is incorrect. So, perhaps I should double-check the initial problem statement.Wait, the problem says "the function ( f(x) = 2^{2x} - 2^{x+1} + 2 ), with its domain as ( M ) and its range as [1, 2]". So, it's given that the function has domain ( M ) and range [1,2]. Therefore, ( M ) must be the set of all ( x ) such that ( f(x) in [1,2] ). As we found, that set is ( (-infty,1] ). Therefore, statement (2) is correct.But in the initial answer, the assistant said that (2) is incorrect because if ( M = [0,1] ), the range is still [1,2]. But that's only if ( M ) is allowed to be any domain that gives the range [1,2]. But the problem says "the function ( f(x) ) with its domain as ( M ) and its range as [1,2]". So, it's more likely that ( M ) is uniquely determined as ( (-infty,1] ). Therefore, statement (2) is correct.Wait, I'm going in circles. Let me check the function again.( f(x) = (2^x - 1)^2 + 1 )We need ( f(x) in [1,2] ), which implies ( (2^x - 1)^2 in [0,1] ), so ( |2^x - 1| leq 1 ), which gives ( 0 leq 2^x leq 2 ). Since ( 2^x > 0 ) always, this simplifies to ( 2^x leq 2 ), so ( x leq 1 ). Therefore, ( M = (-infty,1] ).Therefore, statement (2) is correct, and statement (3) is also correct because ( M subseteq (-infty,1] ) is trivially true since ( M = (-infty,1] ). So, both (2) and (3) are correct.Wait, but in the initial answer, only (3), (4), (5) were correct. So, perhaps the initial answer was wrong in rejecting (2). Therefore, the correct statements are (2), (3), (4), (5).Wait, no, because (3) says ( M subseteq (-infty,1] ), which is true because ( M = (-infty,1] ). So, (2) is correct, and (3) is also correct. Therefore, both (2) and (3) are correct.But in the initial answer, only (3), (4), (5) were correct. So, perhaps the initial answer was incorrect in rejecting (2). Therefore, I think the correct statements are (2), (3), (4), (5).Wait, but let's check again:If ( M = (-infty,1] ), then statements:1. ( M = [0,2] ): Incorrect.2. ( M = (-infty,1] ): Correct.3. ( M subseteq (-infty,1] ): Correct.4. ( 0 in M ): Correct.5. ( 1 in M ): Correct.So, all statements except (1) are correct. But the initial answer only chose (3), (4), (5). So, perhaps the initial answer was wrong.Wait, but in the problem statement, it's possible that ( M ) is not necessarily the maximal domain, but just any domain that gives the range [1,2]. Therefore, ( M ) could be a subset of ( (-infty,1] ) that includes at least [0,1]. Therefore, ( M ) could be [0,1], or [0,1], etc. Therefore, ( M ) is not uniquely determined as ( (-infty,1] ), but it must be a subset of ( (-infty,1] ). Therefore, statement (2) is incorrect because ( M ) could be smaller, but statement (3) is correct because ( M ) must be a subset of ( (-infty,1] ).Therefore, the correct statements are (3), (4), (5).I think that's the right approach because the problem says "the function ( f(x) ) with its domain as ( M ) and its range as [1,2]". So, ( M ) could be any domain that results in the range [1,2]. Therefore, ( M ) must be a subset of ( (-infty,1] ), but not necessarily the entire ( (-infty,1] ). Therefore, statement (2) is incorrect because ( M ) could be smaller, but statement (3) is correct because ( M ) must be a subset.Therefore, the correct statements are (3), (4), (5).I think that's the correct conclusion.</think>

🧠:<think>Alright, so I have this problem about triangle ABC with an area of 10. Points D, E, and F are on sides AB, BC, and CA respectively. They tell me that AD is 2 and DB is 3, so the whole length of AB is 5. That ratio might come into play later. The key part is that the area of triangle ABE is equal to the area of quadrilateral DFEF. Hmm, wait, DFEF? That seems a bit confusing. Let me make sure I read that right. It says quadrilateral DFEF. Maybe that's a typo? Because DFEF would imply a four-sided figure with points D, F, E, F, which doesn't make sense. Maybe it's supposed to be D, B, E, F? That would make more sense as quadrilateral DBEF. Yeah, that must be it. So, triangle ABE and quadrilateral DBEF have equal areas. Okay, got it.So, I need to find the area of triangle ABE, which is equal to the area of quadrilateral DBEF. Since the total area of triangle ABC is 10, and these two regions together with other regions make up the whole triangle, maybe I can set up some equations.First, let me note the ratio along AB. Since AD is 2 and DB is 3, the ratio of AD to DB is 2:3. That might help in figuring out areas because areas often scale with the square of linear dimensions, but sometimes just linearly if heights are involved.Let me try to visualize the triangle ABC. Point D is on AB, closer to A since AD is 2 and DB is 3. Points E and F are on BC and AC respectively. So, triangle ABE is part of ABC, and quadrilateral DBEF is another part. The rest of the triangle would be triangle AFD and triangle EFC or something like that.Wait, maybe it's better to use coordinates. Let me assign coordinates to the triangle to make calculations easier. Let me place point A at (0,0), point B at (5,0) since AB is 5 units, and point C somewhere in the plane. But without knowing the exact coordinates of C, I might need another approach. Maybe mass point geometry or area ratios.Since the area of ABC is 10, and AB is split into AD:DB = 2:3, the area of triangle ABE might be proportional to that ratio. But I'm not sure. Let me think.If I consider point E on BC, then the area of triangle ABE would depend on where E is located on BC. Similarly, the area of quadrilateral DBEF depends on where E and F are located. Since both areas are equal, and the total area is 10, maybe the area of ABE is half of 10? But that would be 5, which is one of the options. Wait, is that correct?Wait, no. Because triangle ABE and quadrilateral DBEF are equal, but there are other regions too. So, let me denote the area of ABE as x, then the area of DBEF is also x. The remaining area would be the rest of the triangle, which is 10 - 2x.But I need to find what x is. Maybe I can relate it to the ratio AD:DB.Since AD:DB is 2:3, and D is on AB, any line from D to E on BC would divide the triangle into smaller areas with ratios related to 2:3.Wait, maybe I can use the concept of similar triangles or area ratios. Let me recall that if two triangles have the same height, their areas are in the ratio of their bases.Alternatively, maybe I can use Menelaus' theorem or Ceva's theorem, but I'm not sure.Alternatively, maybe mass point geometry can help. If I assign masses to points A and B based on the ratio AD:DB = 2:3, then mass at A is 3, mass at B is 2. Then, the mass at D would be 5. But I'm not sure how that helps with the areas.Wait, maybe I can think about the areas in terms of ratios. Since AD:DB = 2:3, the area of triangle ADE would be proportional to 2 parts, and triangle DBE would be proportional to 3 parts, but I'm not sure if that's directly applicable.Wait, perhaps it's better to use coordinates. Let me try that.Let me place point A at (0,0), point B at (5,0), and point C at (c,d). Then, the area of triangle ABC is 10, so using the formula for the area of a triangle with coordinates, the area is (1/2)*base*height = 10. The base AB is 5 units, so the height from C to AB must be 4 units, since (1/2)*5*4 = 10. So, point C must be somewhere with y-coordinate 4, but x-coordinate can be anywhere. Let's say point C is at (0,4) for simplicity. Wait, but then AC would be along the y-axis, and BC would be from (5,0) to (0,4). Hmm, that might complicate things, but maybe manageable.So, coordinates:A: (0,0)B: (5,0)C: (0,4)Point D is on AB, 2 units from A, so D is at (2,0).Now, point E is on BC. Let me parameterize BC. BC goes from (5,0) to (0,4). So, the parametric equations for BC can be written as x = 5 - 5t, y = 0 + 4t, where t ranges from 0 to 1.Similarly, point E can be represented as (5 - 5t, 4t) for some t between 0 and 1.Similarly, point F is on AC. AC goes from (0,0) to (0,4). So, point F can be represented as (0, 4s) for some s between 0 and 1.Now, quadrilateral DBEF has vertices at D(2,0), B(5,0), E(5-5t,4t), and F(0,4s). Wait, but actually, quadrilateral DBEF should be a four-sided figure, but the order of the points matters. It should be D, B, E, F connected in order. So, D to B to E to F to D.But given that, we can compute the area of DBEF using the shoelace formula or by breaking it into parts.Alternatively, since we have coordinates, we can express the areas in terms of t and s and set them equal.But this might get complicated. Maybe there's a better way.Alternatively, since D is on AB, and F is on AC, line DF connects D(2,0) to F(0,4s). Let me find the equation of line DF.The slope of DF is (4s - 0)/(0 - 2) = -2s. So, the equation is y = -2s(x - 2).Similarly, line AE connects A(0,0) to E(5-5t,4t). The slope is (4t - 0)/(5 - 5t - 0) = (4t)/(5(1 - t)). So, the equation is y = (4t)/(5(1 - t)) x.The intersection point of DF and AE is point G, which is inside the triangle.Now, the area of triangle ABE is the area of triangle formed by points A, B, E. Similarly, the area of quadrilateral DBEF is the area of the quadrilateral formed by D, B, E, F.But since these areas are equal, and the total area is 10, we can set up equations.Let me compute the area of triangle ABE first.Points A(0,0), B(5,0), E(5-5t,4t).Using the shoelace formula:Area = (1/2)| (0*(0 - 4t) + 5*(4t - 0) + (5 - 5t)*(0 - 0) ) | = (1/2)|0 + 20t + 0| = 10t.So, [ABE] = 10t.Similarly, the area of quadrilateral DBEF.Points D(2,0), B(5,0), E(5-5t,4t), F(0,4s).Using shoelace formula:Area = (1/2)| x1y2 + x2y3 + x3y4 + x4y1 - y1x2 - y2x3 - y3x4 - y4x1 |Plugging in the coordinates:x1=2, y1=0x2=5, y2=0x3=5-5t, y3=4tx4=0, y4=4sSo,Area = (1/2)| 2*0 + 5*4t + (5 - 5t)*4s + 0*0 - (0*5 + 0*(5 - 5t) + 4t*0 + 4s*2) |Simplify:= (1/2)| 0 + 20t + (20s - 20ts) + 0 - (0 + 0 + 0 + 8s) |= (1/2)|20t + 20s - 20ts - 8s|= (1/2)|20t + 12s - 20ts|So, [DBEF] = (1/2)(20t + 12s - 20ts) = 10t + 6s - 10ts.Given that [ABE] = [DBEF], we have:10t = 10t + 6s - 10tsSimplify:0 = 6s - 10ts0 = s(6 - 10t)So, either s=0 or 6 - 10t=0.But s=0 would mean F is at point A, but F is distinct from A, so s≠0. Therefore, 6 - 10t=0 => t=6/10=3/5.So, t=3/5.Now, with t=3/5, let's find s.From the intersection point G of DF and AE.We have the equations of DF and AE:DF: y = -2s(x - 2)AE: y = (4t)/(5(1 - t)) x = (4*(3/5))/(5*(1 - 3/5)) x = (12/5)/(5*(2/5)) x = (12/5)/(2) x = (6/5)xSo, equation of AE is y = (6/5)x.Equation of DF is y = -2s(x - 2).Setting them equal:(6/5)x = -2s(x - 2)Multiply both sides by 5:6x = -10s(x - 2)6x = -10s x + 20sBring all terms to left:6x +10s x -20s=0x(6 +10s) =20sx= (20s)/(6 +10s)= (10s)/(3 +5s)Now, since G lies on AE, and AE goes from A(0,0) to E(5 -5t,4t)= (5 -5*(3/5),4*(3/5))= (5-3, 12/5)= (2, 12/5).So, point E is at (2, 12/5). Wait, that's interesting. So, E is at (2, 12/5). So, AE goes from (0,0) to (2, 12/5). So, the parameter t=3/5 gives E at (2,12/5).Wait, but from earlier, E is at (5 -5t,4t)= (5 -3, 12/5)= (2,12/5). So, E is at (2,12/5).So, point G is the intersection of DF and AE, which we found to be at x=(10s)/(3 +5s), y=(6/5)x=(6/5)*(10s)/(3 +5s)= (12s)/(3 +5s).But point G must also lie on DF, which is from D(2,0) to F(0,4s). So, the coordinates of G must satisfy the equation of DF, which is y = -2s(x -2).So, y= -2s(x -2)= -2s x +4s.But we also have y=(12s)/(3 +5s).So, equate:(12s)/(3 +5s)= -2s x +4sBut x=(10s)/(3 +5s), so plug that in:(12s)/(3 +5s)= -2s*(10s)/(3 +5s) +4sMultiply both sides by (3 +5s):12s = -20s^2 +4s(3 +5s)Simplify right side:-20s^2 +12s +20s^2=12sSo, left side:12sRight side:12sSo, 12s=12s, which is always true. Hmm, that means our earlier equations are consistent, but we need another equation to find s.Wait, maybe we can use the fact that point G is also on DF, and DF connects D(2,0) to F(0,4s). So, the coordinates of G must satisfy the parametric equation of DF.Parametrize DF from D(2,0) to F(0,4s). Let parameter be u, 0≤u≤1.x=2 -2uy=0 +4s uSo, point G is (2 -2u, 4s u)But we also have G=(10s/(3 +5s), 12s/(3 +5s))So,2 -2u=10s/(3 +5s)and4s u=12s/(3 +5s)From the second equation:4s u=12s/(3 +5s)Assuming s≠0, we can divide both sides by s:4u=12/(3 +5s)So,u=3/(3 +5s)Now, plug u into first equation:2 -2*(3/(3 +5s))=10s/(3 +5s)Simplify:2 -6/(3 +5s)=10s/(3 +5s)Multiply both sides by (3 +5s):2*(3 +5s) -6=10s6 +10s -6=10s10s=10sAgain, this is an identity, so no new information. Hmm, seems like we need another approach.Wait, maybe we can use the fact that the area of triangle AFD is equal to the area of triangle EFC or something like that? Not sure.Alternatively, since t=3/5, we can substitute back into the area expressions.We have [ABE]=10t=10*(3/5)=6.So, [ABE]=6, which is equal to [DBEF]=6. So, the answer is 6.But wait, let me verify.If [ABE]=6, then the remaining area is 10-6=4, which would be the area of quadrilateral ADFC or something. But since [DBEF]=6, and [ABE]=6, that adds up to 12, which is more than 10. Wait, that can't be.Wait, no. Because triangle ABE and quadrilateral DBEF are two regions within ABC, but they might overlap or something. Wait, no, they shouldn't overlap because ABE is a triangle and DBEF is a quadrilateral inside ABC. So, their areas should add up to less than 10.Wait, but if [ABE]=6 and [DBEF]=6, that would total 12, which is more than the area of ABC, which is 10. So, that can't be. So, my earlier conclusion must be wrong.Wait, where did I go wrong? Let me go back.We set [ABE] = [DBEF], which led us to t=3/5, and then [ABE]=10t=6. But that would imply [DBEF]=6, making the total area 12, which is impossible. So, my mistake must be in the calculation of [DBEF].Wait, let's recalculate [DBEF]. Earlier, I used the shoelace formula and got [DBEF]=10t +6s -10ts. But with t=3/5, and s unknown, but we found that s can be any value? Wait, no, we have another condition.Wait, actually, when t=3/5, point E is fixed at (2,12/5). Then, line AE is fixed, and line DF must intersect AE at some point G. But since F is on AC, which is from (0,0) to (0,4), F is at (0,4s). So, DF is the line from (2,0) to (0,4s). The intersection of DF and AE is G, which we found in terms of s, but it didn't give us a unique s.But we need another condition to find s. Since [DBEF]= [ABE]=6, let's substitute t=3/5 into [DBEF]=10t +6s -10ts.So,[DBEF]=10*(3/5) +6s -10*(3/5)s=6 +6s -6s=6.Wait, so [DBEF]=6 regardless of s? That can't be. How?Wait, let's see:[DBEF]=10t +6s -10tsWith t=3/5,=10*(3/5) +6s -10*(3/5)s=6 +6s -6s=6.So, indeed, [DBEF]=6 regardless of s. So, s can be any value, but we need to ensure that point F is on AC and that the quadrilateral DBEF is properly formed. So, s must be such that F is between A and C, so 0<s<1.Therefore, the area of triangle ABE is 6, and the area of quadrilateral DBEF is also 6. So, the answer is 6.But earlier, I thought that the total area would be 12, but that's not the case because triangle ABE and quadrilateral DBEF overlap? Wait, no, they don't overlap. Triangle ABE is part of ABC, and quadrilateral DBEF is another part. So, together, they make up part of ABC, but not the entire area.Wait, let's see. The area of ABC is 10. If [ABE]=6 and [DBEF]=6, then the remaining area is 10-6-6= -2, which doesn't make sense. So, clearly, something is wrong.Wait, no, actually, triangle ABE and quadrilateral DBEF are not necessarily disjoint. They might share some area. So, when we add [ABE] and [DBEF], we are double-counting the overlapping area. So, the total area covered by both would be [ABE] + [DBEF] - [overlap].But since [ABE] and [DBEF] are equal and their sum is 12, but the total area is 10, that suggests that the overlap is 2. So, [overlap]=2.But this seems convoluted. Maybe my initial approach is flawed.Alternatively, perhaps the area of ABE is 6, and the area of DBEF is also 6, but they overlap in such a way that the total area covered is 10. So, 6 +6 - [overlap]=10 => [overlap]=2.But I'm not sure if that's the right way to think about it.Alternatively, maybe I made a mistake in the shoelace formula calculation for [DBEF]. Let me recalculate [DBEF].Points D(2,0), B(5,0), E(2,12/5), F(0,4s).Using shoelace formula:List the coordinates in order:D(2,0), B(5,0), E(2,12/5), F(0,4s), back to D(2,0).Compute the sum of x_i y_{i+1}:2*0 +5*(12/5) +2*4s +0*0=0 +12 +8s +0=12 +8sCompute the sum of y_i x_{i+1}:0*5 +0*2 + (12/5)*0 +4s*2=0 +0 +0 +8s=8sArea= (1/2)|12 +8s -8s|= (1/2)*12=6So, [DBEF]=6 regardless of s. So, it's 6.Therefore, [ABE]=10t=6 => t=3/5.So, even though it seems like the total area would be 12, the shoelace formula correctly accounts for the fact that the regions might overlap or not, but in reality, the areas are calculated correctly as 6 each, and the total area is 10, so the overlapping area must be 2, but that's just a byproduct.So, the answer is 6.</think>

🧠:<think>Okay, so I've got this function here: f(x) = x + b/x, where b is a real number. The problem says that the derivative of this function has a zero point in the interval (1,2). I need to figure out on which interval the function is monotonically increasing, and the options are given as A: (-∞, -1], B: (-1, 0), C: (0,1), and D: (2, +∞).Alright, first things first, I should find the derivative of f(x). Let me recall how to differentiate functions like this. The derivative of x is straightforward—it's just 1. For the term b/x, which can also be written as b*x^(-1), the derivative should be -b*x^(-2) or -b/x². So putting it all together, the derivative f'(x) should be 1 - b/x².Got that down. So f'(x) = 1 - b/x².Now, the problem states that this derivative has a zero point in the interval (1,2). That means there's some c between 1 and 2 where f'(c) = 0. Let me write that out:1 - b/c² = 0.Solving for b, I can rearrange this equation:1 = b/c²=> b = c².So b is equal to the square of some number c that's between 1 and 2. Therefore, b is between 1²=1 and 2²=4. So b is in (1,4).Alright, so now I know that b is between 1 and 4. The question is about where f(x) is monotonically increasing. I remember that a function is monotonically increasing on intervals where its derivative is positive. So I need to find where f'(x) > 0.From earlier, f'(x) = 1 - b/x². So I set this greater than zero:1 - b/x² > 0.Let me solve for x. Rearranging terms:1 > b/x²=> x² > b=> |x| > sqrt(b).Hmm, so this inequality tells me that x must be either greater than sqrt(b) or less than -sqrt(b). But since the original function f(x) = x + b/x has x in the denominator, x can't be zero. So we have to consider the intervals where x is positive or negative, excluding zero.Given that c is between 1 and 2, sqrt(b) is between 1 and 2 as well because b is between 1 and 4. So sqrt(b) is in (1,2). Therefore, the inequality |x| > sqrt(b) implies that x > sqrt(b) or x < -sqrt(b).But let's think about the intervals given in the options. The options are A: (-∞, -1], B: (-1, 0), C: (0,1), and D: (2, +∞). So we need to see which of these intervals satisfy |x| > sqrt(b), given that sqrt(b) is between 1 and 2.First, let's consider the negative side: x < -sqrt(b). Since sqrt(b) is between 1 and 2, -sqrt(b) is between -2 and -1. So x < -sqrt(b) would mean x is less than -1, which is covered by interval A: (-∞, -1]. So f(x) is increasing on (-∞, -sqrt(b)) which is a subset of (-∞, -1], given that sqrt(b) is between 1 and 2.Now, on the positive side, x > sqrt(b). Since sqrt(b) is between 1 and 2, x > sqrt(b) would mean x is greater than 2. Wait, is that right? If sqrt(b) is between 1 and 2, then x has to be greater than, say, 1.5 or something. But 1.5 is less than 2, so x > 1.5 would include some numbers less than 2. Hmm, so maybe I need to think more carefully.Wait, let's see: if sqrt(b) is in (1,2), then the interval where x is positive and greater than sqrt(b) would be (sqrt(b), +∞), which would be overlapping with (2, +∞) only if sqrt(b) is less than or equal to 2. But since sqrt(b) is less than 2 (because b is less than 4), the interval (sqrt(b), +∞) would include (2, +∞) as a subset when sqrt(b) is less than 2.Wait, that might not be accurate. Let me take a specific example: suppose b = 2, so sqrt(b) is approximately 1.414. Then x > 1.414 would mean that x is in (1.414, +∞). But the option D is (2, +∞). So (2, +∞) is a subset of (sqrt(b), +∞) because 2 is greater than sqrt(b) when sqrt(b) is less than 2.So, in other words, for any b in (1,4), sqrt(b) is in (1,2), so x > sqrt(b) implies x has to be greater than a number less than 2, which would include x > 2 as a subset.Therefore, on the positive side, the function is increasing for x > sqrt(b), and since sqrt(b) is less than 2, (2, +∞) is an interval where the function is definitely increasing.Looking back at the options, D is (2, +∞), which fits this conclusion.But wait, just to make sure, let's check if the function is increasing on (0,1). If x is between 0 and 1, then x² is less than 1, so 1 - b/x² would be 1 minus a larger number, because b is between 1 and 4, so b/x² would be greater than b, which is at least 1. So 1 - b/x² would be negative in (0,1), meaning the function is decreasing there.Similarly, in (-1,0), x is negative but close to zero. Again, x² is positive and less than 1, so b/x² is positive and greater than b, which is at least 1. So 1 - b/x² would be negative, meaning the function is decreasing there as well.For (-∞, -1], x is negative and its magnitude is at least 1. Then x² is at least 1, so b/x² is at most b, which is less than 4. So 1 - b/x² could be positive or negative depending on the value. Wait, let's plug in x = -1. Then f'(x) = 1 - b/1 = 1 - b. Since b is between 1 and 4, 1 - b is between -3 and 0. So f'(x) is negative at x = -1. How about at x = -2? f'(x) = 1 - b/4. Since b is between 1 and 4, b/4 is between 0.25 and 1. So 1 - b/4 is between 0 and 0.75. So at x = -2, f'(x) is positive. So somewhere between x = -2 and x = -1, f'(x) changes from positive to negative. Therefore, the function is increasing on (-∞, -sqrt(b)) which is a subset of (-∞, -1], but not the entire interval (-∞, -1]. Since the options include (-∞, -1], but we've established that f'(x) is negative at x = -1, so it's decreasing at x = -1. Therefore, the function is increasing on (-∞, -sqrt(b)) and decreasing on (-sqrt(b), 0). So interval A is not entirely increasing; only part of it is. But since the options don't specify subsets, and (-∞, -1] is given, but in reality, the increasing interval is (-∞, -sqrt(b)) which is a larger interval than (-∞, -1] because sqrt(b) is less than 2, so -sqrt(b) is greater than -2. Hmm, wait, that might not be correct.Wait, let me clarify: if sqrt(b) is between 1 and 2, then -sqrt(b) is between -2 and -1. So the interval where f'(x) > 0 on the negative side is x < -sqrt(b), which is x < a number between -2 and -1. So, for example, if sqrt(b) is 1.5, then x < -1.5. But the option A is (-∞, -1], which includes numbers less than -1, but since -1.5 is less than -1, the interval (-∞, -sqrt(b)) is actually a subset of (-∞, -1]. Wait, no, actually, if -sqrt(b) is greater than -2, then (-∞, -sqrt(b)) includes all numbers less than -sqrt(b), which is between -2 and -1. So (-∞, -sqrt(b)) is a superset of (-∞, -2). Hmm, this is getting a bit confusing.Wait, perhaps it's better to focus on the positive side since the options include (2, +∞), which we concluded is definitely an interval where f(x) is increasing. On the negative side, the increasing interval is (-∞, -sqrt(b)), but since sqrt(b) is between 1 and 2, -sqrt(b) is between -2 and -1, so the increasing interval on the negative side is (-∞, -sqrt(b)), which is a larger interval than (-∞, -2). But the option A is (-∞, -1], which is not exactly the same. However, since the problem is asking for an interval in which f(x) is monotonically increasing, and (2, +∞) is definitely one such interval, while on the negative side, the increasing interval is (-∞, -sqrt(b)), which is a subset of (-∞, -1] only if sqrt(b) is greater than 1, which it is, because sqrt(b) is between 1 and 2. Wait, no, if sqrt(b) is between 1 and 2, then -sqrt(b) is between -2 and -1. So (-∞, -sqrt(b)) is all x less than a number between -2 and -1. So for example, if sqrt(b) is 1.5, then (-∞, -1.5). So (-∞, -1.5) is a subset of (-∞, -1], because -1.5 is less than -1. So actually, (-∞, -sqrt(b)) is a subset of (-∞, -1] because -sqrt(b) is less than -1. Wait, no, if sqrt(b) is 1.5, then -sqrt(b) is -1.5, which is less than -1, so (-∞, -1.5) is actually a subset of (-∞, -1]. So in that case, the increasing interval on the negative side is a subset of option A. But since the problem is giving us options, and one of them is D: (2, +∞), which we've established is definitely an increasing interval, while A is also partially correct but not entirely, because f(x) is decreasing on (-sqrt(b), 0), which includes some of A.But the problem is asking for an interval in which f(x) is monotonically increasing. So both (-∞, -sqrt(b)) and (sqrt(b), +∞) are intervals where f(x) is increasing. But the options given don't include (-∞, -sqrt(b)) directly, but they do include (-∞, -1]. So is (-∞, -1] a valid interval where f(x) is increasing?Wait, let's test this. Suppose b = 1.5, so sqrt(b) is approximately 1.225. Then on the negative side, f(x) is increasing for x < -1.225. So (-∞, -1.225) is where it's increasing. But option A is (-∞, -1], which includes points like x = -1.1, which is greater than -1.225, so in that case, f'(x) at x = -1.1 would be 1 - b/x² = 1 - 1.5/(1.21) ≈ 1 - 1.239 ≈ -0.239, which is negative. So f'(x) is negative at x = -1.1, meaning f(x) is decreasing there. So (-∞, -1] is not entirely an increasing interval because part of it is decreasing.Therefore, the only interval among the options given where f(x) is definitely monotonically increasing is (2, +∞), which is option D. Because for any b in (1,4), sqrt(b) is less than 2, so x > 2 will definitely satisfy x > sqrt(b), making f'(x) positive.So, after all this thinking, I believe the answer is D: (2, +∞).</think>
