Let $ a,b,c $ be real numbers such that $ a^2+b^2+c^2=1. $ Prove that $$ |a-kb|+|b-kc|+|c-ka|\leq \sqrt{3k^2+2k+3}$$Where $ k\geq 0 . $

pqr/uvw convert

by Nguyenhuyen_AG, Apr 19, 2025, 3:39 AM

Hi everyone,
As we know, the pqr/uvw method is a powerful and useful tool for proving inequalities. However, transforming an expression $f(a,b,c)$ into $f(p,q,r)$ or $f(u,v,w)$ can sometimes be quite complex. That's why I’ve written a program to assist with this process.
I hope you’ll find it helpful!

Turbo's en route to visit each cell of the board

by Lukaluce, Apr 14, 2025, 11:01 AM

Let $n > 1$ be an integer. In a configuration of an $n \times n$ board, each of the $n^2$ cells contains an arrow, either pointing up, down, left, or right. Given a starting configuration, Turbo the snail starts in one of the cells of the board and travels from cell to cell. In each move, Turbo moves one square unit in the direction indicated by the arrow in her cell (possibly leaving the board). After each move, the arrows in all of the cells rotate $90^{\circ}$ counterclockwise. We call a cell good if, starting from that cell, Turbo visits each cell of the board exactly once, without leaving the board, and returns to her initial cell at the end. Determine, in terms of $n$, the maximum number of good cells over all possible starting configurations.

Divisibility on 101 integers

by BR1F1SZ, Aug 9, 2024, 12:31 AM

There are $101$ positive integers $a_1, a_2, \ldots, a_{101}$ such that for every index $i$, with $1 \leqslant i \leqslant 101$, $a_i+1$ is a multiple of $a_{i+1}$. Determine the greatest possible value of the largest of the $101$ numbers.

BMO 2021 problem 3

by VicKmath7, Sep 8, 2021, 5:01 PM

Let $a, b$ and $c$ be positive integers satisfying the equation $(a, b) + [a, b]=2021^c$. If $|a-b|$ is a prime number, prove that the number $(a+b)^2+4$ is composite.

Tiling rectangle with smaller rectangles.

by MarkBcc168, Jul 10, 2018, 11:25 AM

A rectangle $\mathcal{R}$ with odd integer side lengths is divided into small rectangles with integer side lengths. Prove that there is at least one among the small rectangles whose distances from the four sides of $\mathcal{R}$ are either all odd or all even.

USAMO 2002 Problem 4

by MithsApprentice, Sep 30, 2005, 7:55 PM

Let $\mathbb{R}$ be the set of real numbers. Determine all functions $f: \mathbb{R} \to \mathbb{R}$ such that \[ f(x^2 - y^2) = x f(x) - y f(y)  \] for all pairs of real numbers $x$ and $y$.

  • Can you give some thought to dropping a guide to STS? Just like how you presented your research (in your paper), what your essays were about, etc. Also cool blog!

  • Although I had a decent college essay, this isn't really my specialty so I don't really have anything useful to say that isn't already available online.

  • Could you also make a blog post about college essay writing :skull:
