Let $a,\,b,\,c,\,x,\,y,\,z$ be six positive real numbers. Prove that
$$\frac{a}{b+c} \cdot \frac{y+z}{x} + \frac{b}{c+a} \cdot \frac{z+x}{y} + \frac{c}{a+b} \cdot \frac{x+y}{z} \geqslant 2+\sqrt{\frac{8abc}{(a+b)(b+c)(c+a)}}.$$

There are $100$ cards on a table, flipped face down. Madina knows that on each card a single number is written and that the numbers are different integers from $1$ to $100$. In a move, Madina is allowed to choose any $3$ cards, and she is told a number that is written on one of the chosen cards, but not which specific card it is on. After several moves, Madina must determine the written numbers on as many cards as possible. What is the maximum number of cards Madina can ensure to determine?

Let $a,b,c$ be nonzero real numbers such that $a+b+c \neq 0$. Assume that $$\frac{1}{a} + \frac{1}{b} + \frac{1}{c} = \frac{1}{a+b+c}$$Show that for any odd integer $k$, $$\frac{1}{a^k} + \frac{1}{b^k} + \frac{1}{c^k} = \frac{1}{a^k+b^k+c^k}.$$

If the interior angles of a triangle $ABC$ satisfy the equality, $$\sin ^2 A + \sin ^2 B + \sin^2  C = 2 \left( \cos ^2 A + \cos ^2 B + \cos ^2 C \right),$$prove that the triangle must have a right angle.

Let $\mathbb{N}$ denote the set of natural numbers, and let $\left( a_i, b_i \right)$, $1 \leq i \leq 9$, be nine distinct tuples in $\mathbb{N} \times \mathbb{N}$. Show that there are three distinct elements in the set $\{ 2^{a_i} 3^{b_i} \colon 1 \leq i \leq 9 \}$ whose product is a perfect cube.

1. Given $a, b, c > 0$ and $abc=1$
Prove that: $ \sqrt{a^2+1} + \sqrt{b^2+1} + \sqrt{c^2+1} \leq \sqrt{2}(a+b+c) $

2. Given $a, b, c > 0$ and $a+b+c=1 $
Prove that: $ \dfrac{\sqrt{a^2+2ab}}{\sqrt{b^2+2c^2}} + \dfrac{\sqrt{b^2+2bc}}{\sqrt{c^2+2a^2}} + \dfrac{\sqrt{c^2+2ca}}{\sqrt{a^2+2b^2}} \geq \dfrac{1}{a^2+b^2+c^2} $

Let $S^1 = \{ z \in \mathbb{C} \mid |z| =1 \}$ be the unit circle in the complex plane. Let $f \colon S^1 \longrightarrow S^2$ be the map given by $f(z) = z^2$. We define $f^{(1)} \colon = f$ and $f^{(k+1)} \colon = f \circ f^{(k)}$ for $k \geq 1$. The smallest positive integer $n$ such that $f^{(n)}(z) = z$ is called the period of $z$. Determine the total number of points in $S^1$ of period $2025$.
(Hint : $2025 = 3^4 \times 5^2$)

If $\{a_i\}_{1\le i\le n }$ and $\{b_i\}_{1\le i\le n}$ are two sequences between $1$ and $2$ and they satisfy $\sum_{i=1}^n a_i^2=\sum_{i=1}^n b_i^2$, prove that $\sum_{i=1}^n\frac{a_i^3}{b_i}\leq 1.7\sum_{i=1}^{n} a_i^2$, and determine when does equality hold
