Let $x_1,x_2,x_3$ be the roots of the equation $x^3 + 3x + 5 = 0$. What is the value of the expression
$\left( x_1+\frac{1}{x_1} \right)\left( x_2+\frac{1}{x_2} \right)\left( x_3+\frac{1}{x_3} \right)$ ?

Contest Description

Preliminary Round
Section A
1. Given that $2^a + 2^b = 2016$ such that $a, b \in \mathbb{N}$. Find the value of $a$ and $b$.

2. Find the value of $a, b$ and $c$ such that $$\frac{ab}{a + b} = 1, \frac{bc}{b + c} = 2, \frac{ca}{c + a} = 3.$$
3. If the value of $x + \dfrac{1}{x}$ is $\sqrt{3}$, then find the value of
$$x^{1000} + \frac{1}{x^{1000}}$$.

Section B
1. Let $\mathbb{Z}$ be the set of integers. Determine all functions $f : \mathbb{Z} \to \mathbb{Z}$ such that for all integer $a, b$:
$$f(2a) + 2f(b) = f(f(a + b))$$
2. The side lengths $a, b, c$ of a triangle $\triangle ABC$ are positive integers. Let
$$T_n = (a + b + c)^{2n} - (a - b + c)^{2n} - (a + b - c)^{2n} - (a - b - c)^{2n}$$for any positive integer $n$.
If $\dfrac{T_2}{2T_1} = 2023$ and $a > b > c$, determine all possible perimeters of the triangle $\triangle ABC$.

Final Round
Section A
1. Given that the equation $x^2 + (b - 3)x - 2b^2 + 6b - 4 = 0$ has two roots, where one is twice of the other, find all possible values of $b$.

2. Let $$f(y) = \dfrac{y^2}{y^2 + 1}.$$Find the value of $$f\left(\frac{1}{2001}\right) + f\left(\frac{2}{2001}\right) + \cdots + f\left(\frac{2000}{2001}\right) + f\left(\frac{2001}{2001}\right) + f\left(\frac{2001}{2000}\right) + \cdots + f\left(\frac{2001}{2}\right) + f\left(\frac{2001}{1}\right).$$
3. Find the smallest four-digit positive integer $L$ such that $\sqrt{3\sqrt{L}}$ is an integer.

Section B
1. Given that $\tan A : \tan B : \tan C$ is $1 : 2 : 3$ in triangle $\triangle ABC$, find the ratio of the side length $AC$ to the side length $AB$.

2. Prove that $\cos{\frac{2\pi}{5}} + \cos{\frac{4\pi}{5}} = -\dfrac{1}{2}.$
