Let \( f \) be a function which is continuous on \( [0,1] \) and differentiable on \( (0,1) \), with \( f(0) = f(1) = 0 \). Assume that there is some \( c \in (0,1) \) such that \( f(c) = 1 \). Prove that there exists some \( x_0 \in (0,1) \) such that \( |f'(x_0)| > 2 \).

Permutation polynomial

Let $n$ be a positive integer. Prove that $f=x^3+x$ is a permutation polynomial mod $n$ iff $n$ is a power of 3.
Note: we call $f$ a permutation polynomial mod $n$ iff the induced map $f:Z_n\rightarrow Z_n$ is bijective.

If $f$ an endomorphism of a vector space V with dimension $n$ satisfy $f^2=f$ with $r=r(f)=dim(Im f)$
Prove that there exists a basis of V $(v_1,\ldots ,v_n)$ such that
$f(v_i)=v_i , i\leq r$ and $f(v_i)=0 , i>r$
And find the matrix of $f$ in the basis $(v_1,\ldots ,v_n)$

Two circles and Three line concurrency
mofidy   0
Today at 4:36 AM
Two circles $W_1$ and $W_2$ with equal radii intersect at P and Q. Points B and C are located on the circles$W_1$ and $W_2$ so that they are inside the circles $W_2$ and $W_1$, respectively. Also, points X and Y distinct from P are located on $W_1$ and $W_2$, respectively, so that:
$$\angle{CPQ} = \angle{CXQ}  \text{ and } \angle{BPQ} = \angle{BYQ}.$$The intersection point of the circumcircles of triangles XPC and YPB is called S. Prove that BC, XY and QS are concurrent.
Thanks.

How much does math help?
Dream9   5
N Mar 30, 2025 by yaxuan
Does the math many people on AOPS work for really make a large impact? I get that this is a place for math but I think I'm losing touch with my prior math skill. AMC and AIME are solving problems that have answers and just take practice but math as a job or just like an accountant doesn't need/needs a lot more than this type of math. I might switch to another stem category for college apps pathway. Also, many people who are already very good at competition math don't get good offers because there's people who are even better(note: i get the point of math isn't only college). I think if I work *hard* I'll be AIME qual but I think many people would have higher achievements with the same amount of work in another category. I think competition math really just trains for problem solving, unique thinking, and pattern recognition(aka IQ pts).

*just* problem solving and unique thinking...

As if that's not going to be the main part of your potential stem job in the future :o

Yes but what I meant was that since I'm already at a certain level I think maybe 10 more hrs of work will only get me a bit of useful growth in other areas.

It really depends on the “level” of math that you already are, I think. For me, AoPS has been helping immensely. For some others, maybe not so much.
