Let $ABC$ be a triangle and let $I$ and $O$ denote its incentre and circumcentre respectively. Let $\omega_A$ be the circle through $B$ and $C$ which is tangent to the incircle of the triangle $ABC$; the circles $\omega_B$ and $\omega_C$ are defined similarly. The circles $\omega_B$ and $\omega_C$ meet at a point $A'$ distinct from $A$; the points $B'$ and $C'$ are defined similarly. Prove that the lines $AA',BB'$ and $CC'$ are concurrent at a point on the line $IO$.

Exist a method of calculation for $ \int e^{-x^2}\,dx $, with help of $ e^{i \phi}=cos \phi  + i sin \phi $ and Moivre's formula.

Find $\text{sup}\{2^{2x}+2^{\frac{1}{2x}}:x\in\mathbb{R}, x<0\}$. Easy to guess that the answer is $1$, but I haven't found the reason yet. :(

Hey integration fans. I decided to collate some of my favourite and most evil integrals I've written into one big integration bee problem set. I've been entering integration bees since 2017 and I've been really getting hands on with the writing side of things over the last couple of years. I hope you'll enjoy!

Some integrals and sums(series)

I saw Silver's post, so I thought I'd share some integrals and sums as well.


It's Christmas!!! (or boxing day.)


\begin{align*}
1. & \quad \int_{0}^{1} \frac{K(-x) - E(-x)}{x \sqrt{x+1}} \ln\left(\frac{1-x}{1+x}\right) \, dx = \frac{\pi - 4 \ln(2)}{4\sqrt{\pi}} \cdot \Gamma^2\left(\frac{1}{4}\right) \\
& \text{where:} \\
& \quad E(x) = \int_{0}^{1} \frac{\sqrt{1 - t^2 x}}{\sqrt{1 - t^2}} \, dt, \quad K(x) = \int_{0}^{1} \frac{1}{\sqrt{1 - t^2} \sqrt{1 - t^2 x}} \, dt.
\end{align*}
\begin{align*}
2. & \quad I = \int_{0}^{\infty} \frac{1}{1+x} \ln\left(\prod_{k=1}^{\infty}\left(1 + e^{-(2k+1)\sqrt{x}}\right) \prod_{k=1}^{\infty}\left(1 + e^{-(2k+1)\pi^2\sqrt{x}}\right)\right) \, dx
\end{align*}
\begin{align*}
3. & \quad \Omega = \sum_{n=1}^{\infty} (-1)^{n-1} \left(\frac{a n + b}{n(n+1)}\right)^3 H_n^2 \\
& \text{where: } H_n = \sum_{k=1}^{n} \frac{1}{k} \quad \text{(Harmonic numbers)}, \quad a, b \in \mathbb{R}.
\end{align*}
\begin{align*}
4. & \quad \int_{0}^{\infty} \frac{\ln\left(\sqrt{z^4 + z^2 + 1}\right) - \ln(z)}{z^{10} + 1} \cdot \frac{z^2 + 1}{z^4 + z^2 + 1} \, dz
\end{align*}
\begin{align*}
5. & \quad \int_{0}^{\frac{\pi}{2}} \frac{\left(c(a_1 - a_2 \sin^2 x)(b_1 - b_2 \cos^2 x)\right)}{\left(\alpha_1 + \beta_1 \sin^2 x\right)\left(\alpha_2 + \beta_2 \cos^2 x\right)} \, dx
\end{align*}
\begin{align*}
6. & \quad \Omega = \int_{0}^{\infty} e^{-(a+b+c)x} \prod_{n=1}^{\infty}\left(1 + \frac{(a-b)^2 x^2}{n^2}\right) \, dx, \quad a, b \in \mathbb{R}^{+}, \, 0 \leq c \in \mathbb{R}.
\end{align*}

$$8. \int_{0}^{1} \frac{\tan^{-1}(x)}{1-x} \ln\left(\frac{1}{2} \left(\frac{1}{\sqrt{x}} + \sqrt{x}\right)\right) \, dx = \frac{\ln(2)}{4} - C - \frac{\pi^3}{192} + \frac{\pi}{32} (\ln(2))^2.$$

$$9.
 \int_{0}^{\frac{\pi}{4}} \int_{0}^{\frac{\pi}{4}} \frac{\ln^{2n}(\sin x) 
\sum_{k=0}^{\infty} \sum_{j=0}^{2n-1} \binom{j}{k-1}
\left( \frac{\ln(\sec x)}{\ln(\sin x)} \right)^k}{\cot x \left( \cos^2 y + \tan x \cos y \sin y \right)} \, dy \, dx, \quad n \in \mathbb{Z}^+.
$$


\[
\text{Find: } 
10. \sum_{n=1}^\infty \sum_{m=-\infty}^\infty \frac{1}{n^p m^2 (m^2 + 1)^3 (n+1)^q}, \quad 2 \leq p, q \in \mathbb{Z},
\]\[
11. \sum_{n=1}^\infty \sum_{m=-\infty}^\infty \frac{(-1)^{n+m}}{n^p m^2 (m^2 + 1)^3 (n+1)^q}, \quad 2 \leq p, q \in \mathbb{Z}.
\]

\[12.
\int_{0}^{\frac{\pi}{4}} \frac{\sin x}{\cos(2x) + 2} \tan^{-1}\left(\frac{\cos x \cot(2x)}{\sqrt{2}}\right) dx 
= \frac{5\pi^2}{48\sqrt{2}} - \frac{\pi}{4\sqrt{2}} \cos^{-1}\left(\frac{1}{3}\right).

Given $\alpha, \beta$-
$\alpha = \int_0^1 xe^{\frac{x^2-1}{2}} \cos(x) dx \quad \beta = \int_1^{3/2} e^{2(x^2-2x)} \sqrt{1-\cos(4x-4)} dx$
Find- $$\frac{\alpha - \cos(1) + e^{-1/2}}{\beta}$$
