geometry problem with many circumcircles

by Melid, Jun 1, 2025, 5:32 AM

In scalene triangle $ABC$, which doesn't have right angle, let $O$ be its circumcenter. Circle $BOC$ intersects $AB$ and $AC$ at $A_{1}$ and $A_{2}$ for the second time, respectively. Similarly, circle $COA$ intersects $BC$ and $BA$ at $B_{1}$ and $B_{2}$, and circle $AOB$ intersects $CA$ and $CB$ at $C_{1}$ and $C_{2}$ for the second time, respectively. Let $O_{1}$ and $O_{2}$ be circumcenters of triangle $A_{1}B_{1}C_{1}$ and $A_{2}B_{2}C_{2}$, respectively. Prove that $O, O_{1}, O_{2}$ are collinear.

Inspired by old results

Let $ a,b> 0. $ Prove that
$$  \frac{a^3}{b^3+ab^2}+ \frac{4b^3}{a^3+b^3+2ab^2}\geq \frac{3}{2}$$$$\frac{a^3}{b^3+(a+b)^3}+ \frac{b^3}{a^3+(a+b)^3}+ \frac{(a+b)^2}{a^2+b^2+ab} \geq \frac{14}{9}$$

interesting geo config (1\3)

by Royal_mhyasd, May 31, 2025, 11:18 PM

Let $\triangle ABC$ be an acute triangle with $AC > AB$, $H$ its orthocenter and $O$ it's circumcenter. Let $P$ be a point on the parallel through $A$ to $BC$ such that $\angle APH = \angle ABC - \angle ACB$ and $P$ and $C$ are on different sides of $AB$. Denote by $S$ the intersection of the circumcircle of $\triangle ABC$ and $PA'$, where $A'$ is the reflection of $H$ over $BC$, $M$ the midpoint of $PH$, $Q$ the intersection of $OA$ and the parallel through $M$ to $AS$, $R$ the intersection of $MS$ and the perpendicular through $O$ to $PS$ and $N$ a point on $AS$ such that $NT \parallel PS$, where $T$ is the midpoint of $HS$. Prove that $Q, N, R$ lie on a line.

fiy it's 2am and i'm bored so i decided to look further into this interesting config that i had already made some observations on, maybe this problem is trivial from some theorem so if that's the case then i'm sorry lol :P i'll probably post 2 more problems related to it soon, i'd say they're easier than this though

weird conditions in geo

by Davdav1232, May 8, 2025, 8:24 PM

Let \( \triangle ABC \) be an isosceles triangle with \( AB = AC \). Let \( D \) be a point on \( AC \). Let \( L \) be a point inside the triangle such that \( \angle CLD = 90^\circ \) and
\[
CL \cdot BD = BL \cdot CD.
\]Prove that the circumcenter of triangle \( \triangle BDL \) lies on line \( AB \).

Gcd of N and its coprime pair sum

by EeEeRUT, Apr 16, 2025, 1:33 AM

For a positive integer $N$, let $c_1 < c_2 < \cdots < c_m$ be all positive integers smaller than $N$ that are coprime to $N$. Find all $N \geqslant 3$ such that $$\gcd( N, c_i + c_{i+1}) \neq 1$$for all $1 \leqslant i \leqslant m-1$

Here $\gcd(a, b)$ is the largest positive integer that divides both $a$ and $b$. Integers $a$ and $b$ are coprime if $\gcd(a, b) = 1$.

Quadruple isogonal conjugate inside cyclic quad

by Noob_at_math_69_level, Dec 18, 2023, 5:29 PM

Let $ABCD$ be a cyclic quadrilateral with $M_1,M_2,M_3,M_4$ being the midpoints of segments $AB,BC,CD,DA$ respectively. Suppose $E$ is the intersection of diagonals $AC,BD$ of quadrilateral $ABCD.$ Define $E_1$ to be the isogonal conjugate point of point $E$ in $\triangle{M_1CD}.$ Define $E_2,E_3,E_4$ similarly. Suppose $E_1E_3$ intersects $E_2E_4$ at a point $W.$ Prove that: The Newton-Gauss line of quadrilateral $ABCD$ bisects segment $EW.$

Long FE with f(0)=0

by Fysty, May 23, 2021, 6:59 AM

Find all functions $f:\mathbb{R}\rightarrow\mathbb{R}$ satisfying $f(0)=0$ and
$$f(f(x)+xf(y)+y)+xf(x+y)+f(y^2)=x+f(f(y))+(f(x)+y)(f(y)+x)$$for all $x,y\in\mathbb{R}$.

Rootiful sets

by InternetPerson10, Sep 22, 2020, 11:49 PM

We say that a set $S$ of integers is rootiful if, for any positive integer $n$ and any $a_0, a_1, \cdots, a_n \in S$, all integer roots of the polynomial $a_0+a_1x+\cdots+a_nx^n$ are also in $S$. Find all rootiful sets of integers that contain all numbers of the form $2^a - 2^b$ for positive integers $a$ and $b$.

Find all sequences satisfying two conditions

by orl, Jul 13, 2008, 1:21 PM

Let $ n > 1$ be an integer. Find all sequences $ a_1, a_2, \ldots a_{n^2 + n}$ satisfying the following conditions:
\[ \text{ (a) } a_i \in \left\{0,1\right\} \text{ for all } 1 \leq i \leq n^2 + n;
\]

\[ \text{ (b) } a_{i + 1} + a_{i + 2} + \ldots + a_{i + n} < a_{i + n + 1} + a_{i + n + 2} + \ldots + a_{i + 2n} \text{ for all } 0 \leq i \leq n^2 - n.
\]
