Two sets

by steven_zhang123, Apr 16, 2025, 7:44 AM

Given \(0 < b < a\), let
\[
A = \left\{ r \, \middle| \, r = \frac{a}{3}\left(\frac{1}{x} + \frac{1}{y} + \frac{1}{z}\right) + b\sqrt[3]{xyz}, \quad x, y, z \in \left[1, \frac{a}{b}\right] \right\},
\]and
\[
B = \left[2\sqrt{ab}, a + b\right].
\]
Prove that \(A = B\).

Let $ a,b,c>0 $ and $  ab+bc+ca\geq \dfrac{1}{3}. $ Prove that
$$  ka+ b+kc\geq \sqrt{\frac{4k-1}{3}}$$Where $ k\geq 1.$$$  4a+ b+4c\geq \sqrt{5}$$

Interesting inequalities

by sqing, Apr 16, 2025, 3:36 AM

Let $ a,b,c\geq  0 $ and $  ab+bc+ca+abc=4$ . Prove that
$$k(a+b+c) -ab-bc\geq 4\sqrt{k(k+1)}-(k+4)$$Where $ k\geq \frac{16}{9}. $
$$ \frac{16}{9}(a+b+c) -ab-bc\geq  \frac{28}{9}$$

A Segment Bisection Problem

by buratinogigle, Apr 16, 2025, 1:36 AM

In triangle $ABC$, let the incircle $\omega$ touch sides $BC, CA, AB$ at $D, E, F$, respectively. Let $P$ lie on the line through $D$ perpendicular to $BC$. Let $Q, R$ be the intersections of $PC, PB$ with $EF$, respectively. Let $K, L$ be the projections of $R, Q$ onto line $BC$. Let $M, N$ be the second intersections of $DQ, DR$ with the incircle $\omega$. Let $S$ be the intersection of $KM$ and $LN$. Prove that the line $DS$ bisects segment $QR$.

Geometry

by MathsII-enjoy, Apr 15, 2025, 3:03 PM

Given triangle $ABC$ inscribed in $(O)$, $S$ is the midpoint of arc $BAC$ of $(O)$. The perpendicular bisector $BO$ intersects $BS$ at $I$. $(I;IB)$ intersects $AB$ at $U$ different from $B$. $H$ is the orthocenter of triangle $ABC$. Prove that $UH$ = $US$

Number Theory Chain!

by JetFire008, Apr 7, 2025, 7:14 AM

I will post a question and someone has to answer it. Then they have to post a question and someone else will answer it and so on. We can only post questions related to Number Theory and each problem should be more difficult than the previous. Let's start!

A drunk frog jumping ona grid in a weird way

by Tintarn, Nov 16, 2024, 5:18 PM

A frog is located on a unit square of an infinite grid oriented according to the cardinal directions. The frog makes moves consisting of jumping either one or two squares in the direction it is facing, and then turning according to the following rules:
i) If the frog jumps one square, it then turns $90^\circ$ to the right;
ii) If the frog jumps two squares, it then turns $90^\circ$ to the left.

Is it possible for the frog to reach the square exactly $2024$ squares north of the initial square after some finite number of moves if it is initially facing:
a) North;
b) East?

Merlin's castle

by gnoka, Nov 15, 2024, 11:23 AM

Merlin's castle has 100 rooms and 1000 corridors. Each corridor links some two rooms. Each pair of rooms is linked by one corridor at most. Merlin has given out the plan of the castle to the wise men and declared the rules of the challenge. The wise men need to scatter across the rooms in a manner they wish. Each minute Merlin will choose a corridor and one of the wise men will have to pass along it from one of the rooms at its ends to the other one. Merlin wins when in both rooms on the ends of the chosen corridor there are no wise men. Let us call a number $m$ the magic number of the castle if $m$ wise men can pre-agree before the challenge and act in such a way that Merlin never wins, $m$ being the minimal possible number. What are the possible values of the magic number of the castle? (Merlin and all the wise men always know the location of all the wise men).

Perpendicular bisector meets the circumcircle of another triangle

by steppewolf, Jun 10, 2023, 10:03 AM

We are given an acute $\triangle ABC$ with circumcenter $O$ such that $BC<AB$. The bisector of $\angle ACB$ meets the circumcircle of $\triangle ABC$ at a second point $D$. The perpendicular bisector of $AC$ meets the circumcircle of $\triangle BOD$ for the second time at $E$. The line $DE$ meets the circumcircle of $\triangle ABC$ for the second time at $F$. Prove that the lines $CF$, $OE$ and $AB$ are concurrent.

Quad formed by orthocenters has same area (all 7's!)

by v_Enhance, Apr 28, 2014, 6:54 AM

Let $ABCD$ be a cyclic quadrilateral, and let $E$, $F$, $G$, and $H$ be the midpoints of $AB$, $BC$, $CD$, and $DA$ respectively. Let $W$, $X$, $Y$ and $Z$ be the orthocenters of triangles $AHE$, $BEF$, $CFG$ and $DGH$, respectively. Prove that the quadrilaterals $ABCD$ and $WXYZ$ have the same area.
