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

Let $a, n$ be natural numbers such that
\[
\frac{a^n - 1}{(a - 1)^n + 1}
\]is a natural number.


1. Prove that $(a - 1)^n + 1$ is odd.
2. Let $q$ be a prime divisor of $(a - 1)^n + 1$.
Prove that
\[
    a^{(q - 1)/2} \equiv 1 \pmod{q}.
    \]3. Prove that if a is prime and $a \equiv 1 \pmod{4}$, then
\[
    2^{(a - 1)/2} \equiv 1 \pmod{a}.

Since $\angle APO=90^{\circ}-\angle ABP=90^{\circ}-\angle DCP=\angle HPC$, so $H,P,O$ are collinear.

Let $ K$,$ H$ is midpoint AP,BP. the perpendicular of $ BP$ from $ H$ intersect $ HP$ at $ O'$. we'll prove that $ O'$ is circumcenter of $ APB$
$ PD^C$= $ PO'^C$=$ PA^B$=$ PK^H$ then => PKO'H is cyclic quadrilateral => (QED)

My solution is a bit more complicated.
Let $ K$ be the perpendicular from $ P$ to $ CD$. Let $ M$,$ N$ be the midpoints of $ AP$, $ BP$. Let $ OM$ and $ ON$ meet line $ CD$ at $ F$ and $ G$, respectively. Then since $ OM \perp AP$ and $ ON \perp PB$, $ FMPK$ and $ GNPK$ are cyclic. Also, $ \angle MNG = 90 + \angle MNP = 90 + \angle ABD = 90 + \angle ACD = 90 + \angle MCF = 180 - \angle MFC$.
Thus, $ MNGF$ is cyclic, so by the radical axis theorem, $ O$,$ P$, and $ K$ are collinear, so $ O$,$ P$, and $ H$ are collinear.

$2\angle OPA=180-\angle AOP=90-\angle ABP$,so $\angle OPA=90-\angle ABP$,also $\angle DPH=90-\angle PDA=90-\angle BAP$,again $\angle APD=\angle BAP+\angle ABP$,Done.

How is $\angle APO=90^{\circ}-\angle ABP=90^{\circ}-\angle DCP$?

Given,
$ABCD$ is a cyclic quadratic.
Let $ OX\perp AB$
$\angle OXA=\angle OXB=90^{\circ{}}$
and $AX=BX$
$\Delta AXP\cong \Delta BXP$
$AP=PB$
So,
$\angle PAX=\angle PBX$
Let $HY\perp CD$
$\angle YCP=\angle PBX$as, $ABCD $ is a cyclic quadrilateral.
$\angle APO=90^{\circ{}}-\angle PBX$
$\angle HPC=90^{\circ{}}-\angle PCD$
$\angle PBX=\angle PCD $
$\angle APO=\angle HPC $
So,
$H,P,O$ are collinear.

Quick angle chase!

Solution: It is enough to show that that $\angle HPO = 180^\circ$. Just note the following:
  • $\angle HPD = 90^\circ - \angle CDP$.
  • $\angle DPA = \angle PDC + \angle PCD$
  • $\angle AOP = 90^\circ - \angle ABP = 90^\circ - \angle ACP$
To finish off just notice that $\angle HPO = \angle HPD + \angle DPA + \angle AOP = 180^\circ$ on substitution of values from above. $\blacksquare$

We use directed angles modulo $\pi$. Observe that \[\measuredangle APH = \measuredangle CPE = 90^{\circ} - \measuredangle PCE = 90^{\circ} - \measuredangle ABD = \measuredangle APO,\]which is enough to show $O, H, P$ are collinear. $\blacksquare$
