Maximum number of nice subsets

by FireBreathers, Apr 23, 2025, 10:27 PM

Given a set $M$ of natural numbers with $n$ elements with $n$ odd number. A nonempty subset $S$ of $M$ is called $nice$ if the product of the elements of $S$ divisible by the sum of the elements of $M$, but not by its square. It is known that the set $M$ itself is good. Determine the maximum number of $nice$ subsets (including $M$ itself).

Let \( m \) be an integer greater than zero. Then, the value of the sum of the reciprocals of the cubes of the roots of the equation
\[
mx^4 + 8x^3 - 139x^2 - 18x + 9 = 0
\]is equal to:

If $x, y, z \in \mathbb{R}$, then prove that the following inequality holds:
\[
\sum_{\text{cyc}} \sqrt{1 + \left(x\sqrt{1 + y^2} + y\sqrt{1 + x^2}\right)^2} \geq \sum_{\text{cyc}} xy + 2\sum_{\text{cyc}} x
\]

Tangents forms triangle with two times less area

by NO_SQUARES, Apr 23, 2025, 9:08 AM

Let $DEF$ be triangle, inscribed in parabola. Tangents in points $D,E,F$ forms triangle $ABC$. Prove that $S_{DEF}=2S_{ABC}$. ($S_T$ is area of triangle $T$).

Existence of perfect squares

by egxa, Apr 18, 2025, 9:48 AM

Find all natural numbers \(n\) for which there exists an even natural number \(a\) such that the number
\[
(a - 1)(a^2 - 1)\cdots(a^n - 1)
\]is a perfect square.

FE solution too simple?

by Yiyj1, Apr 9, 2025, 3:26 AM

Find all functions $f: \mathbb{R} \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ such that the equality $$f(f(x)+y) = f(x^2-y)+4f(x)y$$holds for all pairs of real numbers $(x,y)$.

My solution

I feel like my solution is too simple. Is there something I did wrong or something I missed?

IMO 2015 Problem 3

by liberator, Jul 14, 2015, 2:48 PM

Problem: Let $ABC$ be an acute triangle with $AB > AC$. Let $\Gamma $ be its cirumcircle, $H$ its orthocenter, and $F$ the foot of the altitude from $A$. Let $M$ be the midpoint of $BC$. Let $Q$ be the point on $\Gamma$ such that $\angle HQA = 90^{\circ}$ and let $K$ be the point on $\Gamma$ such that $\angle HKQ = 90^{\circ}$. Assume that the points $A$, $B$, $C$, $K$ and $Q$ are all different and lie on $\Gamma$ in this order.

Prove that the circumcircles of triangles $KQH$ and $FKM$ are tangent to each other.

Coaxal circles in incenter/excenter configuration

by liberator, Apr 15, 2015, 7:18 PM

Problem: Let $ABC$ be a triangle, whose excircle (opposite $A$) touches $BC,CA,AB$ at $P,Q,R$ respectively. Denote $D$ as the intersection of the lines $PQ$ and $AB$, and $E$ as the intersection of the lines $RP$ and $CA$. If $I_a$ is the excenter of $\triangle ABC$, opposite $A$, prove that the circumcircles of triangles $PQE, PRD$ and $PI_aA$ are coaxal.

Commentary: We may replace "excircle" with "incircle", "excenter" with "incenter", and the result still holds.

See interactive diagram here.

IMO 2014 Problem 4

by ipaper, Jul 9, 2014, 11:38 AM

Let $P$ and $Q$ be on segment $BC$ of an acute triangle $ABC$ such that $\angle PAB=\angle BCA$ and $\angle CAQ=\angle ABC$. Let $M$ and $N$ be the points on $AP$ and $AQ$, respectively, such that $P$ is the midpoint of $AM$ and $Q$ is the midpoint of $AN$. Prove that the intersection of $BM$ and $CN$ is on the circumference of triangle $ABC$.
