SubQuestion 1:

Response:
0 is the determinant of the matrix. What does that imply about the rows or columns of the matrix?
Answer 1: The determinant of a matrix is zero if and only if the rows or columns of the matrix are linearly dependent. The answer is the rows or columns are linearly dependent.
SubQuestion 2: What is the first row of the matrix?
Answer 2: The first row of the matrix is [a + x, a - x, a - x]. The answer is [a + x, a - x, a - x].
SubQuestion 3: What is the second row of the matrix?

### Question: In a 3-dimensional coordinate system with $x$-, $y$-, and $z$-axes, $P$ is a point on the line $y = -x + 1$ in the $xy$-plane and $Q$ is a point on the line $z = -2x + 1$ in the $xz$-plane.  Compute the smallest possible value for $PQ.$

SubQuestion 1:

Response:
3-dimensional coordinate system with $x$-, $y$-, and $z$-axes, $P$ is a point on the line $y = -x + 1$ in the $xy$-plane, what is the $y$-coordinate of $P$?
Answer 1: The $y$-coordinate of $P$ is $-x + 1$. Since $P$ is on the line $y = -x + 1$, the $y$-coordinate is $-x + 1$. The answer is $-x + 1$.
SubQuestion 2: What is the $x$-coordinate of $P$ in terms of $y$?
Answer 2: Since $P$ is on the line $y = -x + 1$, the $x$-coordinate can be found by setting $y$ to $-x + 1$ in the equation $x = y - 1$. So the $x$-coordinate is $-(-x + 1) + 1 = x - 1 + 1 = x$. The answer is $x$.
SubQuestion 3: What is the $x$-coordinate of $P$?
Answer 3: The $x$-coordinate of $P$ is $x$. The answer is $x$.
SubQuestion 4: What is the $z$-coordinate of $Q$?
Answer 4: The $z$-coordinate of $Q$ is $-2x + 1$. The answer is $-2x + 1$.
SubQuestion 5: What is the $x$-coordinate of $Q$ in terms of $z$?
Answer 5: Since $Q$ is on the line $z = -2x + 1$, the $x$-coordinate can be found by setting $z$ to $-2x + 1$ in the equation $x = -2z + 1$. So the $x$-coordinate is $-2(-2z + 1) + 1 = 4z - 2 + 1 = 4z - 1$. The answer is $4z - 1$.
SubQuestion 6: What is the $x$-coordinate of $Q$?
Answer 6: The $x$-coordinate of $Q$ is $4z - 1$. The answer is $4z - 1$.
SubQuestion 7: What is the distance between $P$ and $Q$ in terms of $z$?
Answer 7: The distance $PQ$ is the difference in $x$-coordinates of $P$ and $Q$, which is $x - (4z - 1)$. The answer is $x - (4z - 1)$.
SubQuestion 8: What is the smallest possible value for $PQ$ when $x$ and $z$ are both integers?
Answer 8: To minimize $PQ$, we want to minimize the absolute difference between $x$ and $4z - 1$. Since $x$ and $z$ are both integers, the smallest difference occurs when $x$ is as close to $4z - 1$ as possible. This happens when $x$ is $4z - 1$ minus the smallest integer greater than or equal to $x$. The smallest integer greater than or equal to $x$ is $x + 1$ if $x$ is positive, or $x - 1$ if $x$ is negative. The answer is $4z - 1 - (x + 1)$ or $4z - 1 - (x - 1)$, which simplifies to $4z - 2$ or $4z - 0$, both of which are equal. The answer is $4z - 2$.
SubQuestion 9: Now we can answer the question: What is the smallest possible value for $PQ$?
Answer 9: The smallest possible value for $PQ$ is $4z - 2$, which is equal to $4(-2x + 1) - 2 = -8x + 2 - 2 = -8x$. Since $x$ is an integer, the smallest possible value for $PQ$ is $-8x$, which is $-2$. However, since $x$ is an integer, the smallest possible value for $PQ$ is actually $-2 - 2(-8x + 2) = -2 + 16x - 4 = 16x - 6$. The smallest integer value for $x$ that makes this expression positive is $x = 1$, which gives us $16 * 1 - 6 = 16 - 6 = 10$. The answer is 10.

### Question: Find the matrix $\mathbf{P}$ such that for any vector $\mathbf{v},$ $\mathbf{P} \mathbf{v}$ is the projection of $\mathbf{v}$ onto the $yz$-plane.

SubQuestion 1:

Response:
1. What is the standard form of the projection matrix onto a plane?
Answer 1: The standard form of the projection matrix onto a plane is $\mathbf{P} = \mathbf{I} - \mathbf{n}\mathbf{n}^T$, where $\mathbf{n}$ is the normal vector of the plane. The answer is $\mathbf{I} - \mathbf{n}\mathbf{n}^T$.
SubQuestion 2: 2. What is the normal vector $\mathbf{n}$ for the $yz$-plane?
Answer 2: The $yz$-plane has a normal vector pointing in the $z$-direction, which is $\mathbf{n} = \mathbf{k}$, the unit vector in the $z$-direction. The answer is $\mathbf{k}$.
SubQuestion 3: 3. Now we can answer the question: What is the matrix $\mathbf{P}$?
Answer 3: The matrix $\mathbf{P}$ is $\mathbf{P} = \mathbf{I} - \mathbf{k}\mathbf{k}^T$, where $\mathbf{I}$ is the identity matrix and $\mathbf{k}\mathbf{k}^T$ is a scalar matrix with $k$ on the diagonal. Since $\mathbf{k}\mathbf{k}^T = k^2\mathbf{I}$, the matrix $\mathbf{P}$ simplifies to $\mathbf{P} = \mathbf{I} - \frac{1}{k^2}\mathbf{I} = \frac{k^2 - 1}{k^2}\mathbf{I}$. However, for the $yz$-plane, $k = 1$, so $\mathbf{P} = \frac{1 - 1}{1^2}\mathbf{I} = \frac{0}{1}\mathbf{I} = \mathbf{0}$. The answer is $\mathbf{0}$.

SubQuestion 4: \(\tan \left( \frac{\pi}{4} - \frac{\pi}{5} \right)\) is the same as \(\tan \left( \frac{\pi}{20} \right)\) because they are the reciprocals of each other.
Answer 4: That's correct. So, \(\tan \left( \frac{\pi}{4} - \frac{\pi}{5} \right) = \tan \left( \frac{\pi}{20} \right)\). The answer is \(\tan \left( \frac{\pi}{20} \right)\).
SubQuestion 5: Now we can answer the question: What is \(\tan \left( 2 \arctan \frac{1}{5} - \frac{\pi}{4} \right)\)?
Answer 5: Since \(\tan \left( \frac{\pi}{20} \right) = \tan \left( \frac{\pi}{4} - \frac{\pi}{5} \right)\), the expression simplifies to \(\tan \left( 2 \arctan \frac{1}{5} \right)\). The answer is \(\tan \left( 2 \arctan \frac{1}{5} \right)\).
SubQuestion 6: Since \(\tan \left( 2 \arctan \frac{1}{5} \right) = \tan \left( \arctan \frac{1}{5} \right) / \sqrt{1 + \tan^2 \left( \arctan \frac{1}{5} \right)} \), and \(\tan \left( \arctan \frac{1}{5} \right) = \frac{1}{5}\), the expression becomes \(\frac{1}{5} / \sqrt{1 + \frac{1}{25}} \).
Answer 6: The expression simplifies to \(\frac{1}{5} / \sqrt{1 + \frac{1}{25}} = \frac{1}{5} / \sqrt{\frac{26}{25}} = \frac{1}{5} * \frac{25}{26} = \frac{1}{26}\). The answer is \(\frac{1}{26}\).

The answer is $\begin{pmatrix} 49 \\ -7 \end{pmatrix}$.
SubQuestion 12: Now we can answer the question: What is the magnitude of the vector $\operatorname{proj}_{\mathbf{w}} \begin{pmatrix} 7 \\ -2 \end{

### Question: An angle $x$ is chosen at random from the interval $0^{\circ} < x < 90^{\circ}$.  Let $p$ be the probability that the numbers $\sin^2 x$, $\cos^2 x$, and $\sin x \cos x$ are not the lengths of the sides of a triangle.  Given that $p=d/n$, where $d$ is the number of degrees in $\arctan m$ and $m$ and $n$ are positive integers with $m+n<1000$, find $m+n$.

SubQuestion 1:

Response:
1. What is the range of $\sin^2 x$, $\cos^2 x$, and $\sin x \cos x$?
Answer 1: The range of $\sin^2 x$, $\cos^2 x$, and $\sin x \cos x$ is $[0, 1]$, since $\sin^2 x$ and $\cos^2 x$ are non-negative for all $x$, and $\sin x \cos x$ is also non-negative for all $x$ and has a maximum value of $1$ when $x = 90^{\circ}$. The answer is $[0, 1]$.
SubQuestion 2: 2. What is the condition for $p$ in terms of the angles in $\arctan m$?
Answer 2: Given that $p = \frac{d}{n}$, where $d$ is the number of degrees in $\arctan m$ and $m$ is the angle whose tangent is $\sin x \cos x$, the condition for $p$ is that the probability is the ratio of the number of favorable outcomes to the total number of outcomes. Since $\sin x \cos x$ can take on values between $0$ and $1$, the favorable outcomes are when $\sin^2 x$, $\cos^2 x$, and $\sin x \cos x$ are not the lengths of the sides of a triangle. This occurs when $\sin x = 0$ or $\cos x = 0$ or $\sin x \cos x = 0$. The angles that satisfy these conditions are $0^{\circ}$, $90^{\circ}$, and $45^{\circ}$ respectively. So, $d = 90^{\circ}$ and $n = 4$. The answer is $d = 90^{\circ}$ and $n = 4$.
SubQuestion 3: 3. Now we can answer the question: What is the value of $m+n$?
Answer 3: Given $d = 90^{\circ}$ and $n = 4$, the value of $m+n$ is $90 + 4 = 94$. The answer is 94.

### Question: Given $\cos (\alpha + \beta) + \sin (\alpha - \beta) = 0$ and $\tan \beta = \frac{1}{2000},$ find $\tan \alpha.$

SubQuestion 1:

Response:
0
Answer 1: The given equation $\cos (\alpha + \beta) + \sin (\alpha - \beta) = 0$ can be rewritten using the identity $\sin A \cos B - \cos A \sin B = \sin (A - B)$ to get $\sin (\alpha - \beta) = -\cos (\alpha + \beta)$. Since $\tan (\alpha - \beta) = \frac{\sin (\alpha - \beta)}{\cos (\alpha - \beta)} = \frac{-\cos (\alpha + \beta)}{\sin (\alpha + \beta)}$, and $\tan (\alpha + \beta) = \frac{\sin (\alpha + \beta)}{\cos (\alpha + \beta)} = \frac{1}{2000}$, we can equate these to find $\tan (\alpha - \beta)$. The answer is $\frac{1}{2000}$.
SubQuestion 2: Now we can find $\tan (\alpha - \beta)$.
Answer 2: Using the identity $\tan (A - B) = \frac{\tan A - \tan B}{1 + \tan A \tan B}$, we have $\tan (\alpha - \beta) = \frac{\frac{1}{2000} - \frac{1}{2000}}{1 + \frac{1}{2000} \cdot \frac{1}{2000}} = \frac{\frac{1}{2000} - \frac{1}{4000}}{1 + \frac{1}{4000} \cdot \frac{1}{2000}} = \frac{\frac{3}{4000}}{1 + \frac{1}{8000}} = \frac{\frac{3}{4000}}{\frac{9}{4000}} = \frac{3}{4000} \cdot \frac{4000}{9} = \frac{1}{3}$. The answer is $\frac{1}{3}$.
SubQuestion 3: Now we can find $\tan \alpha$.
Answer 3: Using the identity $\tan (\alpha + \beta) = \frac{\sin (\alpha + \beta)}{\cos (\alpha + \beta)}$ and the given value $\tan (\alpha + \beta) = \frac{1}{2000}$, we can find $\tan \alpha$ as follows: $\tan \alpha = \frac{\sin \alpha}{\cos \alpha} = \frac{\sin (\alpha + \beta)}{\cos (\alpha + \beta)} \cdot \frac{\cos (\alpha + \beta)}{\cos (\alpha + \beta)} = \frac{1}{2000} \cdot \frac{\cos (\alpha + \beta)}{\cos (\alpha + \beta)} = \frac{1}{2000} \cdot \frac{1}{2000} = \frac{1}{4000}$. However, this is not the same as $\tan \alpha$ because we also have $\tan (\alpha - \beta) = \frac{1}{3}$, which gives us $\tan \alpha = \frac{\sin \alpha}{\cos \alpha} = \frac{\sin (\alpha - \beta)}{\cos (\alpha - \beta)} \cdot \frac{\cos (\alpha - \beta)}{\cos (\alpha - \beta)} = \frac{1}{3} \cdot \frac{\cos (\alpha - \beta)}{\cos (\alpha - \beta)} = \frac{1}{3} \cdot 1 = \frac{1}{3}$. The answer is $\frac{1}{3}$.
SubQuestion 4: Now we can answer the question: What is the value of $\tan \alpha$?
Answer 4: The value of $\tan \alpha$ is $\frac{1}{3}$. The answer is $\frac{1}{3}$.

### Question: Find the equation of the asymptote of the graph of $r = \cos 2 \theta \sec \theta.$

SubQuestion 1:

Response:
1. What is the equation of the asymptote for a polar graph $r = f(\theta)$?
Answer 1: The equation of the asymptote for a polar graph $r = f(\theta)$ is given by $r = \frac{a}{\cos(\theta)}$, where $a$ is the amplitude and $\theta$ is the angle that the asymptote makes with the positive x-axis. The answer is $r = \frac{a}{\cos(\theta)}$.
SubQuestion 2: 2. What is the amplitude of the given polar graph $r = \cos 2 \theta \sec \theta$?
Answer 2: The amplitude of the given polar graph is the absolute value of the coefficient of $\cos 2 \theta$, which is $|2| = 2$. The answer is 2.
SubQuestion 3: 3. Since $\sec \theta$ is the reciprocal of $\cos \theta$, what is the relationship between $\cos 2 \theta$ and $\sec \theta$?
Answer 3: The relationship between $\cos 2 \theta$ and $\sec \theta$ is that $\cos 2 \theta = 2\cos^2 \theta - 1$ and $\sec \theta = \frac{1}{\cos \theta}$. The answer is $\cos 2 \theta = 2\cos^2 \theta - 1$ and $\sec \theta = \frac{1}{\cos \theta}$.
SubQuestion 4: 4. Using the relationship found in SubQuestion 3, what is the equation of the asymptote for $r = \cos 2 \theta \sec \theta$?
Answer 4: Substituting the relationship into the formula for the asymptote, we get $r = \frac{2\cos^2 \theta - 1}{\cos \theta}$. Since $\cos \theta$ appears in the numerator and denominator, we can rationalize the denominator by multiplying both the numerator and the denominator by $\cos \theta$, resulting in $r = \frac{2\cos^2 \theta - 1}{\cos \theta} * \frac{\cos \theta}{\cos \theta} = \frac{2\cos^3 \theta - \cos \theta}{\cos \theta}$. The simplified form of this is $r = 2\cos^2 \theta - \cos \theta$. The answer is $r = 2\cos^2 \theta - \cos \theta$.
SubQuestion 5: 5. Now we can answer the question: What is the equation of the asymptote of the graph of $r = \cos 2 \theta \sec \theta$?
Answer 5: The equation of the asymptote is $r = 2\cos^2 \theta - \cos \theta$. The answer is $r = 2\cos^2 \theta - \cos \theta$.

SubQuestion 1:

Response:
1. What is the determinant of a 3x3 matrix with the first column being $(x_1, x_2, x_3)$, the second column being $(y_1, y_2, y_3)$, and the third column being $(1, 1, 1)$?
Answer 1: The determinant of a 3x3 matrix with the first column being $(x_1, x_2, x_3)$, the second column being $(y_1, y_2, y_3)$, and the third column being $(1, 1, 1)$ is equal to the sum of the products of the elements of each row with their respective cofactors. Since the cofactor of a row is the determinant of the matrix formed by the elements of the row and the constant entries, and the determinant of a 2x2 matrix is the product of its elements, the determinant of the given matrix is $x_1(y_2 - y_3) - x_2(y_1 - y_3) + x_3(y_1 - y_2)$. The answer is $x_1(y_2 - y_3) - x_2(y_1 - y_3) + x_3(y_1 - y_2)$.
SubQuestion 2: 2. What is the determinant of the matrix formed by the given conditions?

### Question: Let $a = \frac{\pi}{2008}$. Find the smallest positive integer $n$ such that
\[\sum_{k = 1}^n 2 \cos (k^2 a) \sin (ka)\]is an integer.

SubQuestion 1:

Response:
2 \cos (k^2 a) \sin (ka) can be simplified to what?
Answer 1: 2 \cos (k^2 a) \sin (ka) can be simplified to \sin (2ka) - \sin (ka) - \cos (ka) \sin (ka) = -\sin (ka) - 2\cos (ka) \sin (ka). The answer is -\sin (ka) - 2\cos (ka) \sin (ka).
SubQuestion 2: What is the range of \sin (ka)?
Answer 2: The range of \sin (ka) is [-1, 1]. The answer is [-1, 1].
SubQuestion 3: What is the range of \cos (ka)?
Answer 3: The range of \cos (ka) is [-1, 1]. The answer is [-1, 1].
SubQuestion 4: Given that \sin (ka) and \cos (ka) are both in the range [-1, 1], what is the range of -\sin (ka) - 2\cos (ka) \sin (ka)?
Answer 4: The range of -\sin (ka) - 2\cos (ka) \sin (ka) is the same as the range of \sin (ka) + 2\cos (ka) \sin (ka), which is also in the range [-1, 1]. The answer is [-1, 1].
SubQuestion 5: What is the smallest positive integer $n$ such that the sum of n terms in the series is an integer?
Answer 5: Since the range of the sum is [-1, 1], and we want the smallest $n$ such that the sum is an integer, we need to find the smallest $n$ for which the sum of n terms is an integer. Since the range is [-1, 1], and we're looking for the smallest $n$, we can start with $n = 1$ and check if the sum is an integer. For $n = 1$, the sum is $\sin (a) - 2\cos (a) \sin (a) = \sin (a) - \sin (2a) = 2\cos (a) \sin (a) = 2\sin (a) \cos (a) = \sin (2a)$. Since $\sin (2a)$ is also in the range [-1, 1], the sum is an integer for $n = 1$. The answer is 1.
SubQuestion 6: Now we can answer the question: What is the smallest positive integer $n$ such that the sum of n terms in the series is an integer?
Answer 6: The smallest positive integer $n$ such that the sum of n terms in the series is an integer is $n = 2$, because for $n = 2$, the sum is $2\sin (a) \cos (a) + \sin (2a) = 2\sin (a) \cos (a) - \sin (ka) - 2\cos (ka) \sin (ka) = 2\sin (a) \cos (a) - \sin (ka) - 2\cos (ka) \sin (ka) = 2\sin (a) \cos (a) - \sin (ka) - 2\cos (ka) \sin (ka) = 2\sin (a) \cos (a) - \sin (ka) - 2\cos (ka) \sin (ka)$. Since $\sin (a) \cos (a)$ and $-\sin (ka) - 2\cos (ka) \sin (ka)$ are both in the range [-1, 1], the sum is an integer for $n = 2$. The answer is 2. However, since we're looking for the smallest positive integer $n$, we can check if there's a smaller $n$ that would result in an integer sum. For $n = 1$, the sum is $\sin (a) - 2\cos (a) \sin (a) = \sin (a) - \sin (2a) = 2\cos (a) \sin (a) = 2\sin (a) \cos (a) = \sin (2a)$. Since $\sin (2a)$ is also in the range [-1, 1], the sum is an integer for $n = 1$. The answer is 1. But since we're looking for the smallest $n$, and we've found that $n = 2$ gives an integer sum, we don't need to continue. The answer is 2.

### Question: If $\mathbf{v} \times \mathbf{w} = \begin{pmatrix} 2 \\ 7 \\ -13 \end{pmatrix},$ then find $\mathbf{w} \times \mathbf{v}.$

SubQuestion 1:

\begin{pmatrix} - 2 \\ -7 \\ 13 \end{pmatrix}

Response:
3 vectors are given as $\mathbf{v} \times \mathbf{w}$, and it is known that $\mathbf{v} \times \mathbf{w} = \begin{pmatrix} 2 \\ 7 \\ -13 \end{pmatrix}$. The cross product of two vectors is anti-commutative, which means $\mathbf{w} \times \mathbf{v} = -\mathbf{v} \times \mathbf{w}$. So, we can find $\mathbf{w} \times \mathbf{v}$ by taking the negative of the given vector. The answer is $-\begin{pmatrix} 2 \\ 7 \\ -13 \end{pmatrix}$.
SubQuestion 2: Now we can answer the question: What is the cross product of $\mathbf{w}$ and $\mathbf{v}$?
Answer 2: The cross product of $\mathbf{w}$ and $\mathbf{v}$ is $-\begin{pmatrix} 2 \\ 7 \\ -13 \end{pmatrix}$. The answer is $-\begin{pmatrix} 2 \\ 7 \\ -13 \end{pmatrix}$.

SubQuestion 2: Calculate the y-coordinate.
Answer 2: y = -12(7) + 74 / 5 = -84 + 74 / 5 = -84 + 14 = -70 / 5 = -14. The answer is -14.
SubQuestion 3: The point on the line that the parameterization starts at is (7, -2). What is the vector $\mathbf{d}$?
Answer 3: The vector $\mathbf{d}$ represents the displacement from the point (7, -2) to the point on the line when t = 0. So, $\mathbf{d} = \begin{pmatrix} 7 \\ -2 \end{pmatrix} - \begin{pmatrix} x \\ y \end{pmatrix} = \begin{pmatrix} 7 \\ -2 \end{pmatrix} - \begin{pmatrix} 7 \\ -14 \end{pmatrix} = \begin{pmatrix} 7 - 7 \\ -2 + 14 \end{pmatrix} = \begin{pmatrix} 0 \\ 12 \end{pmatrix}$. The answer is $\begin{pmatrix} 0 \\ 12 \end{pmatrix}$.
SubQuestion 4: Now we can answer the question: What is the vector $\mathbf{d}$ in the form of $\begin{pmatrix} x \\ y \end{pmatrix}$?
Answer 4: The vector $\mathbf{d}$ is already in the form of $\begin{pmatrix} x \\ y \end{pmatrix}$, which is $\begin{pmatrix} 0 \\ 12 \end{pmatrix}$. The answer is $\begin{pmatrix} 0 \\ 12 \end{pmatrix}$.

### Question: Find the phase shift of the graph of $y =  2 \sin \left( x + \frac{\pi}{3} \right).$

SubQuestion 1:

Response:
2 \sin \left( x + \frac{\pi}{3} \right) is a sine function with a general form of y = A \sin(B(x - C)) + D, where A is the amplitude, B determines the frequency, C represents the phase shift, and D is the vertical shift. What is the value of C in the given function?
Answer 1: In the given function, B = 1, which represents the frequency. The phase shift, C, is the value that is added or subtracted inside the sine function. So, C = \frac{\pi}{3}. The answer is \frac{\pi}{3}.
SubQuestion 2: Now we can answer the question: What is the phase shift of the graph?
Answer 2: The phase shift of the graph is the value of C, which is \frac{\pi}{3}. The answer is \frac{\pi}{3}.
SubQuestion 3: Since the phase shift is a specific value that represents the horizontal movement of the graph, it does not affect the vertical shift or the frequency. The amplitude and vertical shift remain the same as in the standard form, y = A \sin(B(x - C)) + D.
Answer 3: The amplitude is 2, the vertical shift is 0 (as it's a sine function), and the frequency is 1. The answer is 2.

### Question: What is the smallest positive integer $n$ such that all the roots of $z^4 + z^2 + 1 = 0$ are $n^{\text{th}}$ roots of unity?

SubQuestion 1:

Response:
4th roots of unity are the solutions to which equation?
Answer 1: The 4th roots of unity are the solutions to $z^4 + 1 = 0$. The answer is $z^4 + 1 = 0$.
SubQuestion 2: What is the relationship between the roots of a polynomial and its coefficients?
Answer 2: For a polynomial $f(z) = z^n + a_{n-1}z^{n-1} + \ldots + a_1z + a_0$, the coefficients $a_k$ satisfy the equation $a_k = (-1)^k \cdot a_{n-k}$. The answer is $a_k = (-1)^k \cdot a_{n-k}$.
SubQuestion 3: What is the relationship between the roots of a polynomial and its conjugate?
Answer 3: If $z$ is a root of $f(z) = 0$, then its conjugate $\overline{z}$ is also a root of $f(z) = 0$. The answer is $\overline{z}$ is also a root of $f(z) = 0$.
SubQuestion 4: How many distinct real roots does a quartic equation have?
Answer 4: A quartic equation has at most 4 distinct real roots. The answer is 4.
SubQuestion 5: Since $z^4 + 1 = 0$ is a quartic equation, how many distinct real roots does it have?
Answer 5: The equation $z^4 + 1 = 0$ has no real roots because it is a sum of a polynomial and the identity $z^4 = (z^2)^2$, and no matter how we substitute $z^2$ with a real number, the result will always be a non-negative real number. Thus, the equation has no real solutions. However, since we're looking for $n^{\text{th}}$ roots of unity, we can consider the complex roots, which are the fourth roots of unity. There are 4 distinct fourth roots of unity. The answer is 4.
SubQuestion 6: What is the smallest positive integer $n$ such that $n$ is a power of 4 and also a root of $z^4 + z^2 + 1 = 0$?
Answer 6: The smallest positive integer $n$ that is a power of 4 and also a root of $z^4 + z^2 + 1 = 0$ is $n = 4$ because $4 = 2^2$ and $2^2$ is a root of the equation. The answer is 4.

### Question: Let $\mathbf{v}$ and $\mathbf{w}$ be vectors such that $\|\mathbf{v}\| = 3$ and $\|\mathbf{w}\| = 4.$  Find the minimum value of $\mathbf{v} \cdot \mathbf{w}.$

SubQuestion 1:

Response:
3 and 4 are the magnitudes of the vectors $\mathbf{v}$ and $\mathbf{w}$. The dot product of two vectors is defined as the product of their magnitudes and the cosine of the angle between them. So, the minimum value of $\mathbf{v} \cdot \mathbf{w}$ occurs when the angle between $\mathbf{v}$ and $\mathbf{w}$ is 180 degrees. The dot product in this case is the negative product of their magnitudes. What is the dot product when the angle is 180 degrees?
Answer 1: The dot product is $3 \cdot 4 \cdot \cos(180^\circ)$. Since $\cos(180^\circ) = -1$, the dot product is $3 \cdot 4 \cdot (-1) = -12$. The answer is -12.
SubQuestion 2: Now we know the minimum dot product is -12. However, we need to find the minimum value of $\mathbf{v} \cdot \mathbf{w}$. Since the dot product is a non-negative quantity, the minimum value occurs when the angle between the vectors is 180 degrees, which we established to be the maximum. What is the dot product when the angle is 180 degrees?
Answer 2: The dot product is $3 \cdot 4 \cdot \cos(180^\circ)$. Since $\cos(180^\circ) = -1$, the dot product is $3 \cdot 4 \cdot (-1) = -12$. The answer is -12.
SubQuestion 3: Now we can answer the question: What is the minimum value of $\mathbf{v} \cdot \mathbf{w}$?
Answer 3: The minimum value of $\mathbf{v} \cdot \mathbf{w}$ is -12. The answer is -12.

### Question: Find all values of $k$ for which the system
\begin{align*}
x + ky - z &= 0, \\
kx - y - z &= 0, \\
x + y - kz &= 0
\end{align*}has a non-trivial solution.  (In other words, find all values of $k$ for which the system has a solution other than $(x,y,z) = (0,0,0).$)

SubQuestion 1:

Response:
3x + 3y - 3z = 0, which simplifies to x + y - z = 0. What does this imply about the relationship between $x$, $y$, and $z$?
Answer 1: The equation $x + y - z = 0$ implies that the sum of $x$, $y$, and $z$ is a constant, which is 0 in this case. The answer is $x + y - z = 0$.
SubQuestion 2: Given that the system has a non-trivial solution, what can we say about the relationship between the columns of the matrix formed by the coefficients of $x$, $y$, and $z$?
Answer 2: For a system to have a non-trivial solution, the columns of the matrix must be linearly dependent. In this case, the coefficient matrix is $\begin{bmatrix} 1 & k & -1 \\ k & -1 & -1 \\ 1 & 1 & -k \end{bmatrix}$. The answer is the columns are linearly dependent.
SubQuestion 3: What does it mean for the columns to be linearly dependent in the context of the system of equations?
Answer 3: For the columns of the coefficient matrix to be linearly dependent, there must exist a non-trivial scalar multiple of one column that is a linear combination of the others. The answer is there must exist a non-trivial scalar multiple of one column that is a linear combination of the others.
SubQuestion 4: What is the condition for the system to have a non-trivial solution in terms of the determinant of the coefficient matrix?
Answer 4: The determinant of the coefficient matrix must be zero, since a non-zero determinant would imply linearly independent columns, which contradicts the condition for a non-trivial solution. The answer is the determinant must be zero.
SubQuestion 5: What is the determinant of the coefficient matrix?
Answer 5: The determinant of the matrix $\begin{bmatrix} 1 & k & -1 \\ k & -1 & -1 \\ 1 & 1 & -k \end{bmatrix}$ is $1(-1 - k) - k(1 - 1) + (-1)(k - k) = -1 - k + k - k = -1$. The answer is -1.
SubQuestion 6: Now we can answer the question: What is the value of $k$ that makes the determinant zero?
Answer 6: To find the value of $k$, we set the determinant equal to zero and solve for $k$: $-1 = 0$. This equation has no solution, which means there are no values of $k$ that make the determinant zero and the system has a non-trivial solution. However, since we are looking for values of $k$ that satisfy the condition, we can consider the case where the system has a trivial solution, which occurs when the columns are linearly dependent. In this case, the determinant is zero, but the system has a solution where $x = y = z = 0$. This is not a non-trivial solution, but it does satisfy the condition of having a solution. Therefore, there are no values of $k$ that would result in a non-trivial solution other than $(x, y, z) = (0, 0, 0)$. The answer is no values of $k$.

### Question: Let $\mathbf{A}$ and $\mathbf{B}$ be $2 \times 2$ matrices such that $\det \mathbf{A} = -1$ and $\det \mathbf{B} = 3.$  Find $\det (3 \mathbf{A} \mathbf{B}).$

SubQuestion 1:

Response:
3 times a matrix is equivalent to multiplying each entry of the matrix by 3. So, what is $\det (3 \mathbf{A})$?
Answer 1: Since $\det \mathbf{A} = -1$, then $\det (3 \mathbf{A}) = 3 \cdot \det \mathbf{A} = 3 \cdot -1 = -3$. The answer is -3.
SubQuestion 2: Similarly, what is $\det (3 \mathbf{B})$?
Answer 2: Given $\det \mathbf{B} = 3$, then $\det (3 \mathbf{B}) = 3 \cdot \det \mathbf{B} = 3 \cdot 3 = 9$. The answer is 9.
SubQuestion 3: Now, what is the determinant of the product $3 \mathbf{A} \mathbf{B}$?
Answer 3: The determinant of the product of two matrices is equal to the product of their determinants. So, $\det (3 \mathbf{A} \mathbf{B}) = \det (3 \mathbf{A}) \cdot \det (3 \mathbf{B}) = -3 \cdot 9 = -27$. The answer is -27.

### Question: A line passes through the distinct vectors $\mathbf{a}$ and $\mathbf{b}.$  Then for a certain value of $k,$ the vector
\[3 \mathbf{a} + k \mathbf{b}\]must also lie on the line.  Find $k.$

SubQuestion 1:

Response:
3 times a vector $\mathbf{a}$ plus $k$ times another vector $\mathbf{b}$ must lie on the line if the line passes through the vectors $\mathbf{a}$ and $\mathbf{b}$. What does this mean in terms of the vector equation?
Answer 1: This means that the vector $3\mathbf{a} + k\mathbf{b}$ must be a linear combination of $\mathbf{a}$ and $\mathbf{b}$. The answer is the vector $3\mathbf{a} + k\mathbf{b}$ must be a linear combination of $\mathbf{a}$ and $\mathbf{b}$.
SubQuestion 2: What is the form of a linear combination of two vectors $\mathbf{a}$ and $\mathbf{b}$?
Answer 2: A linear combination of two vectors $\mathbf{a}$ and $\mathbf{b}$ can be written as $t\mathbf{a} + (1-t)\mathbf{b}$, where $t$ is a scalar. The answer is $t\mathbf{a} + (1-t)\mathbf{b}$.
SubQuestion 3: How can we set up the equation based on the information given?
Answer 3: To find $k$, we set up the equation as follows: $3\mathbf{a} + k\mathbf{b} = t\mathbf{a} + (1-t)\mathbf{b}$ for some scalar $t$. Since $\mathbf{a}$ and $\mathbf{b}$ are distinct vectors, we can choose $t$ such that $t \neq 1$ to ensure that the vectors are distinct. The answer is $3\mathbf{a} + k\mathbf{b} = t\mathbf{a} + (1-t)\mathbf{b}$, with $t \neq 1$.
SubQuestion 4: What is the value of $t$ that makes $3\mathbf{a} + k\mathbf{b}$ a linear combination of $\mathbf{a}$ and $\mathbf{b}$?
Answer 4: To find $t$, we set the components of the vectors equal: $3 = t$ and $k = (1-t)$. Since $t \neq 1$, we have $t = 2$. The answer is $t = 2$.
SubQuestion 5: Now we can answer the question: What is the value of $k$?
Answer 5: Given $t = 2$, we can find $k$ by substituting $t$ into the equation $k = (1-t)$, which gives $k = 1 - 2 = -1$. The answer is $-1$.

### Question: Let $\alpha$ and $\beta$ be angles for which
\[\frac{\sec^4 \alpha}{\tan^2 \beta} + \frac{\sec^4 \beta}{\tan^2 \alpha}\]is defined.  Find the minimum value of the expression.

SubQuestion 1:

Response:
1. What is the relationship between $\sec^2 \alpha$ and $\tan^2 \alpha$?
Answer 1: The relationship between $\sec^2 \alpha$ and $\tan^2 \alpha$ is that $\sec^2 \alpha = \frac{1}{\tan^2 \alpha}$. The answer is $\sec^2 \alpha = \frac{1}{\tan^2 \alpha}$.
SubQuestion 2: 2. What is the relationship between $\sec^2 \beta$ and $\tan^2 \beta$?
Answer 2: The relationship between $\sec^2 \beta$ and $\tan^2 \beta$ is that $\sec^2 \beta = \frac{1}{\tan^2 \beta}$. The answer is $\sec^2 \beta = \frac{1}{\tan^2 \beta}$.
SubQuestion 3: 3. Given the expression $\frac{\sec^4 \alpha}{\tan^2 \beta} + \frac{\sec^4 \beta}{\tan^2 \alpha}$, what can we do to find the minimum value?
Answer 3: To find the minimum value, we can use the identity $\sec^2 \theta = 1 + \tan^2 \theta$ and substitute $\alpha$ with $\beta$ in the expression, since $\alpha$ and $\beta$ are angles for which the expression is defined. The answer is to use the identity $\sec^2 \theta = 1 + \tan^2 \theta$ and substitute $\alpha$ with $\beta$.
SubQuestion 4: 4. What is the expression when we substitute $\alpha$ with $\beta$ and use the identity $\sec^2 \theta = 1 + \tan^2 \theta$?
Answer 4: When we substitute $\alpha$ with $\beta$ and use the identity, the expression becomes $\frac{(1 + \tan^2 \beta)^2}{\tan^2 \beta} + \frac{(1 + \tan^2 \alpha)^2}{\tan^2 \alpha}$. The answer is $\frac{(1 + \tan^2 \beta)^2}{\tan^2 \beta} + \frac{(1 + \tan^2 \alpha)^2}{\tan^2 \alpha}$.
SubQuestion 5: 5. Simplify the expression $\frac{(1 + \tan^2 \beta)^2}{\tan^2 \beta} + \frac{(1 + \tan^2 \alpha)^2}{\tan^2 \alpha}$.
Answer 5: Simplifying the expression, we get $\frac{1 + 2\tan^2 \beta + \tan^4 \beta}{1 + \tan^2 \beta} + \frac{1 + 2\tan^2 \alpha + \tan^4 \alpha}{1 + \tan^2 \alpha}$. Since $\tan^2 \theta$ is always positive, we can multiply both terms by $1 + \tan^2 \theta$ to eliminate the denominator, resulting in $1 + 2\tan^2 \beta + \tan^4 \beta + 1 + 2\tan^2 \alpha + \tan^4 \alpha$. The answer is $2 + 2\tan^2 \beta + 2\tan^2 \alpha + \tan^4 \beta + \tan^4 \alpha$.
SubQuestion 6: 6. What is the minimum value of the expression $2 + 2\tan^2 \beta + 2\tan^2 \alpha + \tan^4 \beta + \tan^4 \alpha$?
Answer 6: The minimum value of the expression occurs when the terms are minimized individually, which occurs when $\tan^2 \beta$ and $\tan^2 \alpha$ are both 0 (since $\tan^2 \theta$ is always positive, the minimum occurs when $\theta$ is at its minimum or maximum, which is when $\theta = 0$ or $\theta = \frac{\pi}{2}$). So, the minimum value is $2 + 2(0) + 2(0) + 0^4 + 0^4 = 2$. The answer is 2.
SubQuestion 7: 7. Now we can answer the question: What is the minimum value of the expression $\frac{\sec^4 \alpha}{\tan^2 \beta} + \frac{\sec^4 \beta}{\tan^2 \alpha}$?
Answer 7: The minimum value of the expression is 2. The answer is 2.

### Question: Let $ABCDEFG$ be a regular heptagon with center $O$.  Let $M$ be the centroid of triangle $ABD$.  Find $\cos^2 \angle GOM$.

SubQuestion 1:

Response:
1. What is the definition of the centroid of a triangle?
Answer 1: The centroid of a triangle is the point of intersection of its medians, which are the line segments connecting each vertex to the midpoint of the opposite side. The centroid divides each median in a ratio of 2:1, with the closer part to the vertex being twice as long as the part closer to the midpoint. The answer is the point of intersection of the medians, dividing each median in a 2:1 ratio.
SubQuestion 2: 2. What is the relationship between the angle at the center of a regular polygon and the angle at the vertex of the same polygon?
Answer 2: In a regular polygon, the angle at the center is twice the angle at the vertex. The answer is the angle at the center is twice the angle at the vertex.
SubQuestion 3: 3. What is the measure of angle GOM in terms of the measure of angle AOB?
Answer 3: Since $ABCDEFG$ is a regular heptagon, angle GOM is a central angle and its measure is twice the measure of angle AOB, which is the central angle of the entire heptagon. As a regular heptagon has 7 angles, the measure of angle AOB is 360 degrees / 7 = 51.4285714286 degrees. Therefore, angle GOM is 2 * 51.4285714286 / 7 = 18.5714285714 degrees. The answer is 18.5714285714 degrees.
SubQuestion 4: 4. What is the cosine of an angle in terms of the adjacent and opposite sides?
Answer 4: The cosine of an angle in a right triangle is the ratio of the adjacent side to the hypotenuse. In a regular heptagon, we can consider the angle GOM as part of a right triangle with the two non-adjacent angles as the legs. The adjacent side to angle GOM is the half of the side AB, which is equal to half the length of the side of the regular heptagon. The opposite side to angle GOM is the half of the side AD, which is also equal to half the length of the side of the regular heptagon. The cosine of angle GOM is thus the ratio of the adjacent side to the hypotenuse, which is the ratio of half AB to half AD. The answer is the ratio of half AB to half AD.
SubQuestion 5: 5. What is the length of side AB in terms of the side of the regular heptagon?
Answer 5: The side of the regular heptagon is 7 times the length of side AB. So, the length of side AB is 7 / 2 * the length of a side of the regular heptagon. The answer is 7 / 2 * the length of a side of the regular heptagon.
SubQuestion 6: 6. What is the length of side AD in terms of the side of the regular heptagon?
Answer 6: The side AD is also a part of the regular heptagon, but it is not a straight side. However, it can be considered as a part of the side AB, so its length is also 7 / 2 times the length of side AB. The answer is 7 / 2 * the length of side AB.
SubQuestion 7: 7. What is the ratio of the adjacent side to the hypotenuse in terms of the length of side AB?
Answer 7: The ratio of the adjacent side to the hypotenuse is (7 / 2) / (7 / 2 * 7 / 2) = 1 / 7. The answer is 1 / 7.
SubQuestion 8: 8. Now we can answer the question: What is $\cos^2 \angle GOM$?
Answer 8: $\cos^2 \angle GOM$ is equal to the square of the ratio of the adjacent side to the hypotenuse, which is (1 / 7) * (1 / 7) = 1 / 49. The answer is 1 / 49.

### Question: Compute
\[\frac{1}{\cos^2 10^\circ} + \frac{1}{\sin^2 20^\circ} + \frac{1}{\sin^2 40^\circ}.\]

SubQuestion 1:

Response:
1/cos^2 10° is the same as 1/cos 10° * 1/cos 10°, right?
Answer 1: Yes, that's correct. The answer is yes.
SubQuestion 2: 1/sin^2 20° is the same as 1/sin 20° * 1/sin 20°, right?
Answer 2: Yes, that's correct. The answer is yes.
SubQuestion 3: 1/sin^2 40° is the same as 1/sin 40° * 1/sin 40°, right?
Answer 3: Yes, that's correct. The answer is yes.
SubQuestion 4: Now we can answer the question: What is the sum of the three fractions?
Answer 4: The sum of the three fractions is \[\frac{1}{\cos^2 10^\circ} + \frac{1}{\sin^2 20^\circ} + \frac{1}{\sin^2 40^\circ} = \frac{\sin 20^\circ}{\sin^2 20^\circ \cos^2 10^\circ} + \frac{\cos 10^\circ}{\cos^2 10^\circ \sin^2 20^\circ} + \frac{\cos 10^\circ}{\cos^2 10^\circ \sin^2 40^\circ}.\] Using the identity \(\sin^2 \theta + \cos^2 \theta = 1\), we can simplify each fraction to 1/(2\sin 20^\circ \cos 10^\circ) + 1/(2\cos 10^\circ \sin 20^\circ) + 1/(2\cos 10^\circ \sin 40^\circ). Now, we can combine these terms to get the sum. The answer is 1/2 * (1/sin 20° * 1/cos 10° + 1/cos 10° * 1/sin 20° + 1/sin 20° * 1/cos 10°).
SubQuestion 5: What is the sum of the products of the sines and cosines?
Answer 5: The sum of the products of the sines and cosines is \[\sin 20^\circ \cos 10^\circ + \cos 10^\circ \sin 20^\circ + \sin 20^\circ \cos 10^\circ = 2\sin 20^\circ \cos 10^\circ \cos 20^\circ.\] Since \(\sin 20^\circ \cos 10^\circ = \sin (20^\circ + 10^\circ)\), we can rewrite it as \(2\sin 30^\circ \cos 10^\circ = 2 \cdot \frac{1}{2} \cdot \cos 10^\circ = \cos 10^\circ.\) Similarly, \(\cos 10^\circ \sin 20^\circ = \sin (20^\circ - 10^\circ)\), which is \(\sin 10^\circ.\) So, the sum is 2 * \sin 10° * \cos 10°.

SubQuestion 1:

Response:
1. What is the relationship between $\cos \alpha$ and $\sin \beta$ from the given equation?
Answer 1: From the given equation, we have $\frac{\cos \alpha}{\cos \beta} + \frac{\sin \alpha}{\sin \beta} = -1$. This implies that $\cos \alpha \sin \beta + \sin \alpha \cos \beta = - \cos \beta \sin \alpha - \cos \alpha \sin \beta$. The answer is $\cos \alpha \sin \beta + \sin \alpha \cos \beta = - \cos \beta \sin \alpha - \cos \alpha \sin \beta$.
SubQuestion 2: 2. How can we express $\cos^3 \beta$ and $\sin^3 \beta$ in terms of $\cos \alpha$ and $\sin \alpha$?
Answer 2: Using the identity $\cos^2 \theta + \sin^2 \theta = 1$, we can express $\cos^3 \beta$ and $\sin^3 \beta$ as follows:
\[\cos^3 \beta = \cos^2 \beta \cos \beta = (1 - \sin^2 \beta) \cos \beta = \cos \beta - \sin^2 \beta \cos \beta,\]
\[\sin^3 \beta = \sin^2 \beta \sin \beta = \sin^2 \beta \cos \beta.\]
The answer is $\cos^3 \beta = \cos \beta - \sin^2 \beta \cos \beta$ and $\sin^3 \beta = \sin^2 \beta \cos \beta$.
SubQuestion 3: 3. How can we express the original expression in terms of $\cos \alpha$ and $\sin \alpha$?
Answer 3: The original expression can be rewritten as:
\[\frac{\cos^3 \beta}{\cos \alpha} + \frac{\sin^3 \beta}{\sin \alpha} = \frac{\cos \beta - \sin^2 \beta \cos \beta}{\cos \alpha} + \frac{\sin^2 \beta \cos \beta}{\sin \alpha}.\]
The answer is $\frac{\cos \beta - \sin^2 \beta \cos \beta}{\cos \alpha} + \frac{\sin^2 \beta \cos \beta}{\sin \alpha}$.

\[\frac{\cos \beta \sin \alpha - \sin^2 \beta \cos \beta \sin \alpha}{\cos \alpha \sin \alpha} + \frac{\sin^2 \beta \cos \beta \cos \alpha}{\cos \alpha \sin \alpha}.\]
The answer is $\frac{\cos \beta \sin \alpha - \sin^2 \beta \cos \beta \sin \alpha + \sin^2 \beta \cos \beta \cos \alpha}{\cos \alpha \sin \alpha}$.

Answer 5: The numerator simplifies to:
\[\cos \beta \sin \alpha - \sin^2 \beta \cos \beta \sin \alpha + \sin^2 \beta \cos \beta \cos \alpha = \sin \alpha (\cos \beta - \sin^2 \beta \cos \beta) + \sin^2 \beta \cos \beta (\cos \alpha - \sin \alpha).\]
The answer is $\sin \alpha (\cos \beta - \sin^2 \beta \cos \beta) + \sin^2 \beta \cos \beta (\cos \alpha - \sin \alpha)$.

\[\frac{\sin \alpha (\cos \beta - \sin^2 \beta \cos \beta) + \sin^2 \beta \cos \beta (\cos \alpha - \sin \alpha)}{\cos \alpha \sin \alpha}.\]
The answer is $\frac{\sin \alpha (\cos \beta - \sin^2 \beta \cos \beta) + \sin^2 \beta \cos \beta (\cos \alpha - \sin \alpha)}{\cos \alpha \sin \alpha}$.
SubQuestion 7: 7. How can we factor out $\sin \alpha$ and $\cos \beta$ from the numerator?
Answer 7: Factoring out $\sin \alpha$ and $\cos \beta$ from the numerator, we get:

Answer 8: The expression simplifies to:
\[\sin \alpha (\cos \beta \cos \alpha - \sin \alpha \sin \beta) - \sin^2 \beta \cos \beta (\cos \alpha - \sin \alpha).\]

### Question: In triangle $ABC,$ $\overline{CD}$ is the bisector of angle $C,$ with $D$ on $\overline{AB}.$  If $\cos \frac{C}{2} = \frac{1}{3}$ and $CD = 6,$ compute
\[\frac{1}{BC} + \frac{1}{AC}.\]

SubQuestion 1:

Response:
6 is the length of which side of the triangle?
Answer 1: The length of side $CD$ is given as 6. The answer is CD.

Since $AB = CD = 6$, we can rewrite this as $BC^2 = 6^2 + (\sqrt{1 - \sin^2 \frac{C}{2}})^2 - 2 \cdot 6 \cdot (\sqrt{1 - \sin^2 \frac{C}{2}}) \cdot \cos \frac{C}{2}$. The answer is $6^2 + (\sqrt{1 - \sin^2 \frac{C}{2}})^2 - 2 \cdot 6 \cdot (\sqrt{1 - \sin^2 \frac{C}{2}}) \cdot \cos \frac{C}{2}$.
SubQuestion 4: What is the value of $\cos \frac{C}{2}$?
Answer 4: Given that $\cos \frac{C}{2} = \frac{1}{3}$, the answer is $\frac{1}{3}$.
SubQuestion 5: Now we can answer the question: What is the value of $\frac{1}{BC} + \frac{1}{AC}$?
Answer 5: Substituting the known values into the expression, we get $\frac{1}{BC} + \frac{1}{AC} = \frac{1}{6} + \frac{1}{\sqrt{1 - \sin^2 \frac{C}{2}}} - \frac{2}{\sqrt{1 - \sin^2 \frac{C}{2}}} \cdot \frac{1}{3}$. Since $\sin^2 \frac{C}{2} = 1 - \cos^2 \frac{C}{2}$, we can rewrite this as $\frac{1}{6} + \frac{1}{\sqrt{1 - \cos^2 \frac{C}{2}}} - \frac{2}{\sqrt{1 - \cos^2 \frac{C}{2}}} \cdot \frac{1}{3}$. The answer is $\frac{1}{6} + \frac{1}{\sqrt{1 - \cos^2 \frac{C}{2}}} - \frac{2}{\sqrt{1 - \cos^2 \frac{C}{2}}} \cdot \frac{1}{3}$.
SubQuestion 6: What is the value of $\sin^2 \frac{C}{2}$?

So, $\sin \frac{A}{2} = \sqrt{1 - \cos^2 \frac{A}{2}} = \sqrt{1 - (\frac{1}{3})^2} = \frac{2}{3}$ and $\cos \frac{A}{2} = \frac{1}{3}$. The answer is $\sin \frac{A}{2} = \frac{2}{3}$ and $\cos \frac{A}{2} = \frac{1}{3}$.
SubQuestion 11: What is the value of $\sin \frac{B}{2}$ and $\cos \frac{B}{2}$?
Answer 11: Since $\cos \frac{C}{2} = \cos \frac{B}{2} = \frac{1}{3}$, and $\sin^2 \frac{C}{2} = \sin^2 \frac{B}{2} = \frac{8}{9}$, we can find $\sin \frac{B}{2}$ and $\cos \frac{B}{2}$ using the Pythagorean identity $\sin^2 \theta + \cos^2 \theta = 1$. So, $\sin \frac{B}{2} = \sqrt{1 - \cos^2 \frac{B}{2}} = \sqrt{1 - (\frac{1}{3})^2} = \frac{2}{3}$ and $\cos \frac{B}{2} = \frac{1}{3}$. The answer is $\sin \frac{B}{2} = \frac{2}{3}$ and $\cos \frac{B}{2} = \frac{1}{3}$.
SubQuestion 12: What is the length of $AB$ and $AC$?
Answer 12: The length of $AB$ and $AC$ is 6. The answer is AB = AC = 6.
SubQuestion 13: Now we can answer the question: What is the value of $\frac{1}{BC} + \frac{1}{AC}$?

Since $\cos \frac{C}{2} = \frac{1}{3}$, we can rewrite this as $\frac{1}{6} + \frac{1}{\sqrt{1 - (\frac{1}{3})^2}} - \frac{2}{\sqrt{1 - (\frac{1}{3})^2}}} \cdot \frac{1}{3}$. The answer is $\frac{1}{6} + \frac{1}{\sqrt{1 - \frac{1}{9}}} - \frac{2}{\sqrt{1 - \frac{1}{9}}} \cdot \frac{1}{3}$.
