Try to prove : $$ \sum csc^{20} \frac{2^{i} \pi}{7} csc^{23} \frac{2^{j}\pi }{7} csc^{2023} \frac{2^{k} \pi}{7} $$is a rational number.
Where $ (i,j,k)=(1,2,3) $ and other permutations.

Cosine of polynomial is polynomial of cosine

by yofro, May 5, 2025, 12:37 AM

Find all polynomials $P$ with real coefficients for which there exists a polynomial $Q$ with real coefficients such that for all real $t$, $$\cos(P(t))=Q(\cos t).$$

Permutation with no two prefix sums dividing each other

by Assassino9931, May 4, 2025, 11:21 PM

Does there exist an infinite sequence of positive integers $a_1, a_2 \ldots$, such that every positive integer appears exactly once as a member of the sequence and $a_1 + a_2 + \cdots + a_i$ divides $a_1 + a_2 + \cdots + a_j$ if and only if $i=j$?

Let $m,n$ be relatively prime positive integers. Calculate $gcd(5^m+7^m, 5^n+7^n).$

Sequences problem

by BBNoDollar, May 3, 2025, 5:53 PM

Determine the general term of the sequence of non-zero natural numbers (a_n)n≥1, with the property that gcd(a_m, a_n, a_p) = gcd(m^2 ,n^2 ,p^2), for any distinct non-zero natural numbers m, n, p.

⁡Note that gcd(a,b,c) denotes the greatest common divisor of the natural numbers a,b,c .

foldina a rectangle paper 3 times

by parmenides51, Mar 24, 2024, 11:19 AM

Matías has a rectangular sheet of paper $ABCD$, with $AB<AD$.Initially, he folds the sheet along a straight line $AE$, where $E$ is a point on the side $DC$ , so that vertex $D$ is located on side $BC$, as shown in the figure. Then folds the sheet again along a straight line $AF$, where $F$ is a point on side $BC$, so that vertex $B$ lies on the line $AE$; and finally folds the sheet along the line $EF$. Matías observed that the vertices $B$ and $C$ were located on the same point of segment $AE$ after making the folds. Calculate the measure of the angle $\angle DAE$.

Modular arithmetic at mod n

by electrovector, May 24, 2021, 5:56 AM

Integers $a_1, a_2, \dots a_n$ are different at $\text{mod n}$. If $a_1, a_2-a_1, a_3-a_2, \dots a_n-a_{n-1}$ are also different at $\text{mod n}$, we call the ordered $n$-tuple $(a_1, a_2, \dots a_n)$ lucky. For which positive integers $n$, one can find a lucky $n$-tuple?

f(x^2+y^2+z^2)=f(xy)+f(yz)+f(zx)

by dangerousliri, May 31, 2020, 5:58 PM

Find all functions $f:\mathbb{R}^+\rightarrow\mathbb{R}$ such that for any positive real numbers $x, y$ and $z$,
$$f(x^2+y^2+z^2)=f(xy)+f(yz)+f(zx)$$

Problem 1

by randomusername, Jul 10, 2015, 8:12 AM

We say that a finite set $\mathcal{S}$ of points in the plane is balanced if, for any two different points $A$ and $B$ in $\mathcal{S}$, there is a point $C$ in $\mathcal{S}$ such that $AC=BC$. We say that $\mathcal{S}$ is centre-free if for any three different points $A$, $B$ and $C$ in $\mathcal{S}$, there is no points $P$ in $\mathcal{S}$ such that $PA=PB=PC$.

(a) Show that for all integers $n\ge 3$, there exists a balanced set consisting of $n$ points.

(b) Determine all integers $n\ge 3$ for which there exists a balanced centre-free set consisting of $n$ points.

Sum of Good Indices

by raxu, Jun 26, 2015, 1:57 AM

Let $a_1, a_2, \dots, a_n$ be a sequence of real numbers, and let $m$ be a fixed positive integer less than $n$. We say an index $k$ with $1\le k\le n$ is good if there exists some $\ell$ with $1\le \ell \le m$ such that $a_k+a_{k+1}+...+a_{k+\ell-1}\ge0$, where the indices are taken modulo $n$. Let $T$ be the set of all good indices. Prove that $\sum\limits_{k \in T}a_k \ge 0$.

  • Thanks! I'm happy to hear that! How is the new CSS? If you don't like it, I can go back.

    by aoum, Apr 8, 2025, 12:42 AM

  • This is such a cool blog! Just a suggestion, but I feel like it would look a bit better if the entries were wider. They're really skinny right now, which makes the posts seem a lot longer.
