Let $ f: \mathbb{R}^2 \rightarrow \mathbb{R} $ be a function such that for every regular $ n $-gon $ A_1A_2 \ldots A_n $ we have $ f(A_1)+f(A_2)+\cdots +f(A_n)=0 $. Prove that $ f(x)=0 $ for all reals $ x $.

Let $a,b,b',c,m,q$ be positive integers, where $m>1,q>1,|b-b'|\ge a$. It is given that there exist a positive integer $M$ such that
$$S_q(an+b)\equiv S_q(an+b')+c\pmod{m}$$
holds for all integers $n\ge M$. Prove that the above equation is true for all positive integers $n$. (Here $S_q(x)$ is the sum of digits of $x$ taken in base $q$).

Dear Mathlinkers,

1. ABC an acute triangle so that AC < BC < AB
2. B' the midpoint of the segment AC
3. H the orthocenter of ABC
4. D the foot of the A-altitude of ABC
5. O the center of the circumcircle of ABC
6. K the point of intersection of the perpendicular to OD at D with AC.

Prove : HK is perpendicular to B'D.

Let $P$ be the second intersection of $(O)$ with $AD$. Let $J=BP\cap DK$ and $Q=B'D\cap BP$.

Then $DJ=DK$ since $OD\perp DK$ (butterfly), and $DP=DH$. So $HK\parallel BP$.

Now $\angle PDQ+\angle DPQ=\angle ADB'+\angle ACD=\angle CAD+\angle ACD=90^\circ\implies B'D\perp BP$, and we are done.

Dear ,
very nice proof... your second part after the Carnot (DP = DH) and butterfy theorem, is the Brahmagupta theorem for the perpendicularity...
