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

The school A has m1 boys and m2 girls, and ,the school B has n1 boys and n2 girls. Each school is represented by one team formed by p students,boys and girls. If f(k) is the number of cases for which,the twice schools has,togheter k girls, fund f(k) and the valute of k, for which f(k) is maximum.

Combo with cyclic sums

In $p{}$ of the vertices of the regular polygon $A_0A_1\ldots A_{2016}$ we write the number $1{}$ and in the remaining ones we write the number $-1.{}$ Let $x_i{}$ be the number written on the vertex $A_i{}.$ A vertex is good if \[x_i+x_{i+1}+\cdots+x_j>0\quad\text{and}\quad x_i+x_{i-1}+\cdots+x_k>0,\]for any integers $j{}$ and $k{}$ such that $k\leqslant i\leqslant j.$ Note that the indices are taken modulo $2017.$ Determine the greatest possible value of $p{}$ such that, regardless of numbering, there always exists a good vertex.

Prove that there exists infinitely many positive integers $x,y,z$ such that $x,y,z\ne1$ and $x^x\cdot y^y=z^z$.

Stronger inequality than an old result

Problem. Find the best constant $k$ satisfying $$(ab+bc+ca)\left[\frac{1}{(a+b)^{2}}+\frac{1}{(b+c)^{2}}+\frac{1}{(c+a)^{2}}\right]\ge \frac{9}{4}+k\cdot\frac{a(a-b)(a-c)+b(b-a)(b-c)+c(c-a)(c-b)}{(a+b+c)^{3}}$$holds for all $a,b,c\ge 0: ab+bc+ca>0.$

R+ FE with arbitrary constant

by CyclicISLscelesTrapezoid, Jul 5, 2023, 7:22 PM

Let $c>0$ be a given positive real and $\mathbb{R}_{>0}$ be the set of all positive reals. Find all functions $f \colon \mathbb{R}_{>0} \to \mathbb{R}_{>0}$ such that \[f((c+1)x+f(y))=f(x+2y)+2cx \quad \textrm{for all } x,y \in \mathbb{R}_{>0}.\]

Let $ABC$ be an acute triangle. Tangents on the circumscribed circle of triangle $ABC$ at points $B$ and $C$ intersect at point $T$. Let $D$ and $E$ be a foot of the altitudes from $T$ onto $AB$ and $AC$ and let $M$ be the midpoint of $BC$. Prove:
A) Prove that $M$ is the orthocenter of the triangle $ADE$.
B) Prove that $TM$ cuts $DE$ in half.

Inequality with n-gon sides

by mihaig, Feb 25, 2022, 6:46 AM

If $a_1,a_2,\ldots, a_n~(n\geq3)$ are are the lengths of the sides of a $n-$gon such that
$$\sum_{i=1}^{n}{a_i}=1,$$then
$$(n-2)\left[\sum_{i=1}^{n}{\frac{a_i^2}{(1-a_i)^2}}-\frac n{(n-1)^2}\right]\geq(2n-1)\left(\sum_{i=1}^{n}{\frac{a_i}{1-a_i}}-\frac n{n-1}\right)^2.$$
When do we have equality?

Incircle of a triangle is tangent to (ABC)

by amar_04, Mar 2, 2021, 3:36 AM

Let $ABC$ be a scalene triangle, $AM$ be the median through $A$, and $\omega$ be the incircle. Let $\omega$ touch $BC$ at point $T$ and segment $AT$ meet $\omega$ for the second time at point $S$. Let $\delta$ be the triangle formed by lines $AM$ and $BC$ and the tangent to $\omega$ at $S$. Prove that the incircle of triangle $\delta$ is tangent to the circumcircle of triangle $ABC$.
