A little problem

by TNKT, May 15, 2025, 1:17 PM

Problem. Let a,b,c be three positive real numbers with a+b+c=3. Prove that \color{blue}{\frac{1}{4a^{2}+9}+\frac{1}{4b^{2}+9}+\frac{1}{4c^{2}+9}\le \frac{3}{abc+12}.}
When does equality hold?
P/s: Could someone please convert it to latex help me? Thank you!

Find all polynomial $P(x) \in \mathbb{R}[x]$ such that:
$P(p_i) = 2^{a_i}$ with $p_i$ is an $i$ th prime and $a_i$ is an arbitrary positive integer.

For positive real intengers $x_{1} ,x_{2} ,\cdots,x_{n}$ , such that $\prod_{i=1}^{n} x_{i} =1$
proof:
$\sum_{i=1}^{n} \frac{1}{1+\sum _{j\ne i}x_{j} } \le 1$

D1033 : A problem of probability for dominoes 3*1

by Dattier, May 15, 2025, 12:29 PM

Let $G$ a grid of 9*9, we choose a little square in $G$ of this grid three times, we can choose three times the same.

What the probability of cover with 3*1 dominoes this grid removed by theses little squares (one, two or three) ?

Let $I$ be the incenter of triangle $\triangle ABC$ . Let $H_A$ , $H_B$ , and $H_C$ be the orthocenters of triangles $\triangle BCI$ , $\triangle ACI$ , and $\triangle ABI$ , respectively. Prove that the lines through $H_A$ , $H_B$ , and $H_C$ , parallel to $AI$ , $BI$ , and $CI$ , respectively, are concurrent.

Let $a$ be a positive integer. We say that a positive integer $b$ is $a$ -good if $\tbinom{an}{b}-1$ is divisible by $an+1$ for all positive integers $n$ with $an \geq b$ . Suppose $b$ is a positive integer such that $b$ is $a$ -good, but $b+2$ is not $a$ -good. Prove that $b+1$ is prime.

In triangle $ABC$ let $O$ and $H$ be the circumcenter and the orthocenter. The point $P$ is the reflection of $A$ with respect to $OH$ . Assume that $P$ is not on the same side of $BC$ as $A$ . Points $E,F$ lie on $AB,AC$ respectively such that $BE=PC \ , CF=PB$ . Let $K$ be the intersection point of $AP,OH$ . Prove that $\angle EKF = 90 ^{\circ}$
