Yesterday, select middle school and high school students participated in this year’s AIME I Competition (including some students proctored by Areteem online).
The problems can now be discussed! See below for the answer key for the 2022 AIME I questions as well as the concepts tested on each problem. All answers for the AIME are in the form of 3-digit integers.
1
116
algebra: quadratics, equations, and logic
2
227
number theory: bases and digits
3
242
geometry: trapezoids, angle bisectors, and similar triangles
4
834
algebra and number theory: complex numbers, polar form, and modular arithmetic
5
