Let $\mathbb{R}_{>0}$ be the set of all positive real numbers. Find all strictly monotone (increasing or decreasing) functions $f:\mathbb{R}_{>0} \to \mathbb{R}$ such that there exists a two-variable polynomial $P(x, y)$ with real coefficients satisfying
$$
f(xy)=P(f(x), f(y))
$$for all $x, y\in\mathbb{R}_{>0}$.

It is given polygon with $2013$ sides $A_{1}A_{2}...A_{2013}$. His vertices are marked with numbers such that sum of numbers marked by any $9$ consecutive vertices is constant and its value is $300$. If we know that $A_{13}$ is marked with $13$ and $A_{20}$ is marked with $20$, determine with which number is marked $A_{2013}$

Interesting problem. I suspect that AM-GM might be applicable here, since equality is achieved at $a=b=c=1$ (which is the AM-GM equality condition).

Show that $\frac{4}{3-c} \le \frac{1}{c} -2c + 3 $.

This is equivalent to $\frac{(c-1)^2(2c+3)}{c(c-3)} \le 0$,trivially true.

Never mind,I see the issue now.
Sorry for a waste of time-
