BrUMO 2025 Team Round Problem 13

by lpieleanu, Apr 27, 2025, 11:18 PM

Let $\omega$ be a circle, and let a line $\ell$ intersect $\omega$ at two points, $P$ and $Q.$ Circles $\omega_1$ and $\omega_2$ are internally tangent to $\omega$ at points $X$ and $Y,$ respectively, and both are tangent to $\ell$ at a common point $D.$ Similarly, circles $\omega_3$ and $\omega_4$ are externally tangent to $\omega$ at $X$ and $Y,$ respectively, and are tangent to $\ell$ at points $E$ and $F,$ respectively.

Given that the radius of $\omega$ is $13,$ the segment $\overline{PQ}$ has a length of $24,$ and $YD=YE,$ find the length of segment $\overline{YF}.$

Let $x\in(-1,1).$ Prove that
$\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{1-x^2}} + \dfrac{1}{2+ x^2} \geq \dfrac{3}{2}$ $\dfrac{2}{\sqrt{1-x^2}} + \dfrac{1}{1+x^2} \geq 3$

Three variables inequality

by Headhunter, Apr 20, 2025, 6:58 AM

$\forall a\in R$ , $~\forall b\in R$ , $~\forall c \in R$
Prove that at least one of $(a-b)^{2}$ , $(b-c)^{2}$ , $(c-a)^{2}$ is not greater than $\frac{a^{2}+b^{2}+c^{2}}{2}$ .

I assume that all are greater than it, but can't go more.
