Spring is in full swing and summer is right around the corner, what are your plans? At AoPS Online our schedule has new classes starting now through July, so be sure to keep your skills sharp and be prepared for the Fall school year! Check out the schedule of upcoming classes below.

WOOT early bird pricing is in effect, don’t miss out! If you took MathWOOT Level 2 last year, no worries, it is all new problems this year! Our Worldwide Online Olympiad Training program is for high school level competitors. AoPS designed these courses to help our top students get the deep focus they need to succeed in their specific competition goals. Check out the details at this link for all our WOOT programs in math, computer science, chemistry, and physics.

Looking for summer camps in math and language arts? Be sure to check out the video-based summer camps offered at the Virtual Campus that are 2- to 4-weeks in duration. There are middle and high school competition math camps as well as Math Beasts camps that review key topics coupled with fun explorations covering areas such as graph theory (Math Beasts Camp 6), cryptography (Math Beasts Camp 7-8), and topology (Math Beasts Camp 8-9)!

Be sure to mark your calendars for the following events:
[list][*]April 3rd (Webinar), 4pm PT/7:00pm ET, Learning with AoPS: Perspectives from a Parent, Math Camp Instructor, and University Professor

On existence of infinitely many positive integers satisfying
shivangjindal   22
N an hour ago by atdaotlohbh
Source: European Girls' Mathematical Olympiad-2014 - DAY 1 - P3
We denote the number of positive divisors of a positive integer $m$ by $d(m)$ and the number of distinct prime divisors of $m$ by $\omega(m)$. Let $k$ be a positive integer. Prove that there exist infinitely many positive integers $n$ such that $\omega(n) = k$ and $d(n)$ does not divide $d(a^2+b^2)$ for any positive integers $a, b$ satisfying $a + b = n$.

Consider a triangle $\triangle ABC$ and some point $X$ on $BC$. The perpendicular from $X$ to $AB$ intersects the circumcircle of $\triangle AXC$ at $P$ and the perpendicular from $X$ to $AC$ intersects the circumcircle of $\triangle AXB$ at $Q$. Show that the line $PQ$ does not depend on the choice of $X$.

My problem! :)

Shocking that my olympiad problem writing debut is a geometry problem. People that know me will know how bad I am at geo. :wacko:

The points used in this proof are as shown in the figure $O_1,O_2,O_3$ are the centres of the circles $\odot ABC, \odot ACX, \odot ABX$ respectively
I claim that the line $PQ$ always passes through the circumcentre of $\Delta ABC$
proof:
Define phantom points $P'$ and $Q'$ such that $P'=\odot ACX \cap AO_1$ and $Q'= \odot ABX \cap AO_1$
now we know that $O_1O_2$ and $O_1O_3$ are the perpendicular bisectors of the radial axes $AC$ and $AB$
$\angle AP'X= \angle ACX = \angle C$ and $\angle AO_1O_3= \angle AO_1E= \angle C$ hence $O_1O_3 \parallel P'X \implies P'X \perp AB$
and
$\angle AQ'D=\angle ABX =\angle B$ and $\angle AO_1E= \angle B$ so $O_1O_2 \parallel  Q'D \implies Q'D \perp AC$
hence $P' \equiv P $ and $Q' \equiv Q$ and the required claim is proved

I think there should be 180 - 2ACB in your third line

Claim : $AO$ is the required line where $O$ is circumcenter of $ABC$

Pf. $\measuredangle BAP = 90 - \measuredangle APX = 90 - \measuredangle ACX = 90 - \measuredangle ACB = \measuredangle BAO$ hence $P$ lies on $AO$ and similarly $Q$ must also lie on AO so we are done.

The idea is that both points $P$ and $Q$ lie on the line $\overline{AO}$ where $O$ is the circumcenter of $\triangle ABC$. To see why,
\[\measuredangle BAQ = \measuredangle CXQ = 90 + \measuredangle BCA\]which implies that $Q$ lies on $\overline{AO}$. Similarly,
\[\measuredangle CAQ = \measuredangle CXP = 90 + \measuredangle CBA\]which implies that $P$ lies on $\overline{AO}$ and thus the line $PQ$ does not depend on the choice of $X$.
