10. Find the total number of integers in the sequence 20, 22, 24, … , 2020 that are divisible by 3 but not 5.
(A) 158
(B) 225
(C) 252
(D) 270
(E) None of the above


Bilangan yang habis dibagi \(3 : \{24, 30, 36, …, 2016\}\) banyaknya ada
\(\frac{2016−24}{6}+ 1 = 333\)
Bilangan yang habis dibagi \(15 : \{30, 60, 90, ….2010\}\) bnyaknya ada
\(\frac{2010−30}{30}+ 1 = 67\)
Jadi banyak bilangan yang habis dibagi \(3\) tetapi tidak habis dibagi \(5\) adalah \(333 – 67 = 266\) bilangan


11. \(𝑎_1, 𝑎_2, 𝑎_3, …\) is an arithmetic series with common difference \(1\).
For \(𝑎_1 + 𝑎_2 + 𝑎_3 + ⋯ + 𝑎_{98} = 137\), find the
value of \(𝑎_2 + 𝑎_4 + 𝑎_6 + ⋯ + 𝑎_{98}\).
(A) 89
(B) 91
(C) 93
(D) 97
(E) None of the above


Misalkan
\(𝑎_1 = 𝑎\)
\(𝑎_1 + 𝑎_2 + 𝑎_3 + ⋯ + 𝑎_{98} = 137\)
\(⇒𝑎 + (𝑎 + 1) + (𝑎 + 2) + ⋯ + (𝑎 + 97) = 137\)
\(⇒\frac{(𝑎 + 𝑎 + 97)98}{2}= 137\)
\(⇒(2𝑎 + 97)49 = 137\)
\(⇒98𝑎 = 137 − 97(49)\) 
Selanjutnya
\(𝑎_2 + 𝑎_4 + 𝑎_6 + ⋯ + 𝑎_{98} = (𝑎 + 1) + (𝑎 + 3) + (𝑎 + 5) + ⋯ + (𝑎 + 97)\)
\(=\frac{(𝑎+1+𝑎+97)49}{2}\)
\(=\frac{(2𝑎+98)49}{2}\)
\(=\frac{98𝑎+98(49))}{2}\)
\(=\frac{137-97(49)+98(49)}{2}=\frac{137+49}{2}=\frac{186}{2}=93\)


12. Let 𝑎 and 𝑏 be positive real numbers such that
\(\frac{1}{𝑎}+\frac{1}{𝑏}=\frac{5}{𝑎 − 𝑏}\)
Evaluate
\((\frac{𝑎}{𝑏}+\frac{b}{a})^2\)
(A) \(29\)
(B) \(16\sqrt 5\)
(C) \(25\sqrt 2\)
(D) \(36\)
(E) None of the above


\(\frac{1}{𝑎}+\frac{1}{𝑏}=\frac{5}{𝑎 − 𝑏}\)
\(⇒\frac{𝑎 + 𝑏}{𝑎𝑏}=\frac{5}{𝑎 − 𝑏}\)
\(⇒\frac{𝑎^2 − 𝑏^2}{𝑎𝑏}= 5\)
\(⇒ \frac{𝑎}{𝑏} – \frac{𝑏}{𝑎}= 5\)
\(⇒ (\frac{𝑎}{𝑏}−\frac{𝑏}{𝑎})^2=\frac{𝑎^2}{𝑏^2} +\frac{𝑏^2}{𝑎^2} − 2 = 25\)
\(⇒ \frac{𝑎^2}{𝑏^2} +\frac{𝑏^2}{𝑎^2} = 27\)
Selanjutnya
\((\frac{𝑎}{𝑏}+\frac{𝑏}{𝑎})^2=\frac{𝑎^2}{𝑏^2} +\frac{𝑏^2}{𝑎^2} + 2 = 27 + 2 = 29\)


13. Evaluate

\(\sqrt{1 + 2\sqrt{1 + 2\sqrt{1 + 2\sqrt 1+ ⋯}}}\)

(A) \(\sqrt 2\)
(B) \(\sqrt 3\)
(C) \(2\)
(D) \(1+\sqrt 2\)
(E) None of the above


\(\sqrt{1 + 2\sqrt{1 + 2\sqrt{1 + 2\sqrt 1+ ⋯}}}=a, a>0\)
\(⇒\sqrt{1 + 2𝑎} = 𝑎\)
\(⇒1 + 2𝑎 = 𝑎^2\)
\(⇒𝑎^2 − 2𝑎 = 1\)
\(⇒𝑎^2 − 2𝑎 + 1 = 1 + 1\)
\(⇒(𝑎 − 1)^2 = 2\)
\(⇒𝑎 − 1 = \sqrt 2\)
\(⇒𝑎 = \sqrt 2 + 1\)
