new operations (Posted on 2004-03-31)

Mathematicians have just created three new operation symbols, @, $,and _, each doing a different thing to a pair of numbers (All of these symbols can be derived from already-known operations and notations). The following equations using the new symbols are correct:

5@5= 2/5
2@2= 1
2@3= 5/9
3@4= 7/16
2@4= 3/8

1$0= undefined
1$4= 1/10
4$1= 1/10
10$10= 1/50
(1@1) $ 1= (√2)/10

2_2= 6
2_3= 9
6_2= 42
3_5= 30
5_6= 90

If the previous equations are correct, compute the following equation.

1 @ (1 $ (1_1))=

Solution: (Hide)

The answer is 30.
Just to let you know...
x @ y = (x + y) / y^2
x $ y = (√(xy)) / (5xy)
x _ y = [x(x + 1)y] / 2
= y[x + (x-1) + (x-2) + ... + 2 + 1]
