(Insper 2008) - Question Medium of Mathematics

One of the most famous problems in the history of mathematics, the 'Fermat's Last Theorem' was solved in 1995 by the Englishman Andrew Wiles. Demonstrating this theorem represented a great challenge to the brightest mathematicians for over 350 years, despite its statement being relatively simple, as shown below: If $$n$$ is a natural number greater than 2, then the equation $$x^{n}=y^{n}+z^{n}$$ does not have solutions where $$x, y$$, and $$z$$ are simultaneously positive integers. However, for $$n=2$$, the equation $$x^{n}=y^{n}+z^{n}$$ admits solutions under the conditions of the theorem stated above. One of these solutions is given by
a.
$$x=1, y=0.6$$ and $$z=0.8$$.
b.
$$x=\sqrt{5}, y=1$$ and $$z=2$$.
c.
$$x=3, y=4$$ and $$z=5$$.
d.
$$x=1, y=1$$ and $$z=0$$.
e.
$$x=13, y=12$$ and $$z=5$$.

During the cleaning of the cooling system of a factory, a technician must adjust a light reflector fixed on the ceiling of the room. The reflector has the shape of a right circular cone with the vertex pointing upwards and an opening angle of 75º. The technician wants to calculate the height and the radius of the base of the cone to determine the ideal dimensions of the mirrors that will be installed on the inner surface of the cone, so that the reflected light follows a beam parallel to the floor. Consider that the angle of incidence of light on the inner surface of the cone should be 15º with the normal to the surface at the point of incidence to ensure total reflection of light. Based on this configuration, determine the height and the radius of the base of the cone, and additionally, identify the value of the sine and cosine of 22.5º, an angle that arises in the resolution of the problem.

In a school, a survey was conducted on students who practiced sports. It was found that 60% of the students practiced soccer, 30% practiced volleyball, and 20% practiced both sports. If a student is randomly selected, what is the probability that he practices soccer, given that he practices volleyball?
