Apr 2, 2025
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

Source: Use your common sense! (enough is enough)
Some users don't want to learn, some other simply ignore advises.
But please follow the following guideline:


To make it short: ALWAYS USE YOUR COMMON SENSE IF POSTING!
If you don't have common sense, don't post.


More specifically:

For new threads:


a) Good, meaningful title:
The title has to say what the problem is about in best way possible.
If that title occured already, it's definitely bad. And contest names aren't good either.
That's in fact a requirement for being able to search old problems.

Examples:
Bad titles:
- "Hard"/"Medium"/"Easy" (if you find it so cool how hard/easy it is, tell it in the post and use a title that tells us the problem)
- "Number Theory" (hey guy, guess why this forum's named that way¿ and is it the only such problem on earth¿)
- "Fibonacci" (there are millions of Fibonacci problems out there, all posted and named the same...)
- "Chinese TST 2003" (does this say anything about the problem¿)
Good titles:
- "On divisors of a³+2b³+4c³-6abc"
- "Number of solutions to x²+y²=6z²"
- "Fibonacci numbers are never squares"


b) Use search function:
Before posting a "new" problem spend at least two, better five, minutes to look if this problem was posted before. If it was, don't repost it. If you have anything important to say on topic, post it in one of the older threads.
If the thread is locked cause of this, use search function.

Update (by Amir Hossein). The best way to search for two keywords in AoPS is to input
[code]+"first keyword" +"second keyword"[/code]
so that any post containing both strings "first word" and "second form".


c) Good problem statement:
Some recent really bad post was:
[quote]$lim_{n\to 1}^{+\infty}\frac{1}{n}-lnn$[/quote]
It contains no question and no answer.
If you do this, too, you are on the best way to get your thread deleted. Write everything clearly, define where your variables come from (and define the "natural" numbers if used). Additionally read your post at least twice before submitting. After you sent it, read it again and use the Edit-Button if necessary to correct errors.


For answers to already existing threads:


d) Of any interest and with content:
Don't post things that are more trivial than completely obvious. For example, if the question is to solve $x^{3}+y^{3}=z^{3}$, do not answer with "$x=y=z=0$ is a solution" only. Either you post any kind of proof or at least something unexpected (like "$x=1337, y=481, z=42$ is the smallest solution). Someone that does not see that $x=y=z=0$ is a solution of the above without your post is completely wrong here, this is an IMO-level forum.
Similar, posting "I have solved this problem" but not posting anything else is not welcome; it even looks that you just want to show off what a genius you are.

e) Well written and checked answers:
Like c) for new threads, check your solutions at least twice for mistakes. And after sending, read it again and use the Edit-Button if necessary to correct errors.



To repeat it: ALWAYS USE YOUR COMMON SENSE IF POSTING!


Everything definitely out of range of common sense will be locked or deleted (exept for new users having less than about 42 posts, they are newbies and need/get some time to learn).

The above rules will be applied from next monday (5. march of 2007).
Feel free to discuss on this here.

We claim that the fixed point is $I$, the incenter of $\triangle ABC$. Since $\triangle BDP$ is isosceles and $BI$ is $B$ angle bisector, then $BI\perp PD$ so $DI=IP$ and $\angle IDP=\angle IPD.$ Similarly, $PI=IE$ and $\angle IEP=\angle IPE.$ Hence, $DI=IP=IE$ so $\angle IDE=\angle IED.$ Note that $\angle DPE=180^{\circ}-\angle DPB-\angle EPC=180^{\circ}-(90^{\circ}-\frac{\angle B}{2})-(90^{\circ}-\frac{\angle C}{2})=\frac{\angle B+\angle C}{2}$ and $\angle DPE=\angle DPI+\angle IPE=\angle PDI+\angle IEP.$ Hence, $2\angle IED=\angle IED+\angle IDE=180^{\circ}-(\angle IDP+\angle IEP)-(\angle IPD+\angle IPE)=\angle A$. Thus, $\angle IED=\frac{\angle A}{2}=\angle IAD$ so $ADIE$ is cyclic so all $(ADE)$ goes through $I$, as desired. $\blacksquare$

WLOG suppose that $AB<AC$
Let $I$ be the incenter of $\triangle ABC,$ $\quad \quad \quad$ $CI \cap PD= F.$
Simple angle chasing gives $\angle PFI = \angle EFI = \angle A /2$, so $A, D, F, I, E$ are concyclic
$\Rightarrow$ $(ADE)$ passes through $I$, which is fixed

Let I be incenter of ABC.
BP = BD ---> ID = IP ---> IBD and IBP are congruent ---> ∠IDA = ∠IPC
the same way we can prove ∠IEA = ∠IPB. so we have :
∠IDA + ∠IEA = 180 ---> IDAE is cyclic. I is the fixed point.

Let $I$ be the incenter.

First solution Notice that $BDIP$ and $CEIP$ are kite which implies $ID=IP=IE$. So $(ADE)$ passes through $I$ since $AI$ is the $A-$angle bisector.

Second solution Notice that $\angle BDI=\angle BPI=\angle AEI$.

Third solution Notice that $AD+AE=b+c-a$ which is fixed therefore by using this lemma we can say $(ADE)$ passes through a fixed point on the $A-$ angle bisector.

Fourth solution Let $Q=AI\cap BC$. It is sufficient to prove the power of $Q$ wrt $(ADE)$ is fixed. Let \[ f(\bullet)=P(\bullet, (ADE))-P(\bullet, (ABC)) \]It is known that $f$ is linear over the plane. We know $Q=\left(0,\frac{b}{b+c}, \frac{c}{b+c}\right)$. We want $f(Q)$ is fixed. By the linearity we have
\begin{align*}
 f(Q)&=\frac{b}{b+c}f(B)+\frac{c}{b+c}f(C) \\
&=\frac{1}{b+c}\left(bf(B)+cf(C)\right) \\
&=\frac{bc}{b+c}(BD+CE) \\
&=\frac{abc}{b+c}
\end{align*}which is fixed.

$Claim:$ The fixed point is $I$
Notice that $BI$ is angle bisector of $\angle{PBD}$. $BP=DP$ , $IP=ID$ because $BI$ is perpendicular bisector of $PD$ . Likewise $IP=IE$. So we can say that $I$ is the circumcenter of triangle $DEP$.
Let $\angle{B} =\angle{2X}$ and $\angle{C} =\angle{2Y}$. If $\angle {IDE}= \angle{90-X-Y}$ the problem will end. $\angle{DEP}= \angle{X+Y}$ because $\angle{DEP}=\angle {180 - (90-X)-(90-Y)}= \angle{X+Y}$. $\angle{DIE}=\angle{2(X+Y)}$ because it is the central angle .$ID=IE$ and we get that $\angle {IED}= \angle {90-X-Y}$
