Looking for summer camps in math and language arts? Be sure to check out the video-based summer camps offered at the Virtual Campus that are 2- to 4-weeks in duration. There are middle and high school competition math camps as well as Math Beasts camps that review key topics coupled with fun explorations covering areas such as graph theory (Math Beasts Camp 6), cryptography (Math Beasts Camp 7-8), and topology (Math Beasts Camp 8-9)!

Be sure to mark your calendars for the following events:

Find all polynomials $f$ with real coefficients such that for all reals $a,b,c$ such that $ab+bc+ca = 0$ we have the following relations

\[ f(a-b) + f(b-c) + f(c-a) = 2f(a+b+c). \]

Are there any solutions to certain problems? I feel like I would just do most of these by induction but I am sure there are more clever ways to go about proving them.

So for ex. 1: set $x=\frac{a}{b}$ and similar and $M \le RL$ follows from AM-GM.

Set $c$ as biggest: $LL<\frac{a+c}{\sqrt{a^2+c^2}}<M$ goes, but you have already goodwritten solutions by link.

Would it best to solve them all or to give all links, because wshen everybody tries,
it is better then only look to solutions.

No, I didn't solve any. I just thought I would use induction on them, but upon looking at them closely, the fact that they all have multiple variables, I don't think induction would be a good way to go.

A remark, recently I read a post in which an user asked the problem 41. Aparently there is a mistake in the problem.

Who is the author of Problem 62 - arqady or Vasc? Does anyone have a link to the thread? I have some comments regarding it.

Combined with Dorin Andrica's result from earlier this year, we get the double result:
\[\frac{1}{2}\cdot\sqrt{7\cdot\sum{a^2}+2\cdot\sum{ab}}\ge\sum{m_a}\ge \frac{3}{2}\cdot\sqrt{2\cdot\sum{ab}-\sum{a^2}}\]
Now see Problems 91 and 98 in Geometric Inequalities Marathon - 100 Problems and Solutions (which were posted first on Constantin's blog). These, by the double Hadwiger-Finsler Inequality, strengthen the result:
\[\sqrt{2\cdot\sum{a^2}+\sqrt{3}\Delta}\ge\sum{m_a}\ge\sqrt{\frac{3}{2}}\cdot\sqrt{\sum{a^2}+2\sqrt{3}\Delta}\]
