 1. (30 p.) Consider the set $$S\subseteq(0,1]^2$$ in the coordinate plane that consists of all points $$(x,y)$$ such that both $$[\log_2(1/x)]$$ and $$[\log_5(1/y)]$$ are even. The area of $$S$$ can be written in the form $$p/q$$ for two relatively prime integers $$p$$ and $$q$$. Evaluate $$p+q$$.

 2. (37 p.) Let $$a$$ and $$b$$ be positive real numbers such that $$ab=2$$ and $\dfrac{a}{a+b^2}+\dfrac{b}{b+a^2}=\dfrac78.$ Find $$a^6+b^6$$.

 3. (12 p.) Real numbers $$x,y,z$$ are real numbers greater than 1 and $$w$$ is a positive real number. If $$\log_xw=24$$, $$\log_yw=40$$ and $$\log_{xyz}w=12$$, find $$\log_zw$$.

 4. (7 p.) Let $$P$$ be the product of the non-real roots of the polynomial $$x^4-4x^3+6x^2-4x=2008$$. Evaluate $$[ P]$$.

 5. (12 p.) Let $$a$$, $$b$$, and $$c$$ be non-real roots of the polynimal $$x^3+x-1$$. Find $\frac{1+a}{1-a}+ \frac{1+b}{1-b}+ \frac{1+c}{1-c}.$
