Problem 1

Given triangle $ABC$ the point $J$ is the centre of the excircle opposite the vertex $A.$ This excircle is tangent to the side $BC$ at $M$, and to the lines $AB$ and $AC$ at $K$ and $L$, respectively. The lines $LM$ and $BJ$ meet at $F$, and the lines $KM$ and $CJ$ meet at $G.$ Let $S$ be the point of intersection of the lines $AF$ and $BC$, and let $T$ be the point of intersection of the lines $AG$ and $BC.$ Prove that $M$ is the midpoint of $ST.$

(The excircle of $ABC$ opposite the vertex $A$ is the circle that is tangent to the line segment $BC$, to the ray $AB$ beyond $B$, and to the ray $AC$ beyond $C$.)

Q) let $f_n:[-1,1)\to\mathbb{R}$ and $f_n(x)=x^{n}$ then is this uniformly convergence on $(0,1)$ comment on uniformly convergence on $[0,1]$ where in general it is should be uniformly convergence.

My I am trying with some contradicton method like chose $\epsilon=1$ and trying to solve$|f_n(a)-f(a)|<\epsilon=1$
Next take a in (0,1) and chose a= 2^1/N but not solution
How to solve like this way help.

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!

Let $I$ be the incenter. Then $\angle IDE = \angle IAE$ from $ADIE$ concyclic. Then $\angle IAE = \angle CAE-\angle CAI = 90-\dfrac{1}{2}\angle C - \dfrac{1}{2}\angle A = \dfrac{1}{2}\angle B$ so $\angle IDE = \angle IBC$, so $DE\parallel BC$.

If $AD,AE$ hits $BC$ at $K,L$, then $K,L$ is the reflection of $A$ on the $B$-bisector and $C$-bisector, resp., and consequently $DE$ is the image of $KL$ after a homothety from $A$ with ratio $1/2$, implying $DE||KL\equiv BC$.

Let $X,Y$ be feet of $A$ on angle bisectors of $B$ and $C$ respectively. We have \[\angle IXY = \angle IAY = \angle CAY - \angle CAI = 90^{\circ} - \frac{C}{2} - \frac{A}{2} = \frac{B}{2}.\]

It's enough to prove $ \angle EDB $ = $ \angle DBC $ .
Claim 1 : AEID is cyclic .
Proof : $ \angle AEC $ + $ \angle ADB $ = $ 180^\circ $ .
Hence, $ \angle EDI $ = $ \angle IAE $ = $ \angle BAI $ - $ \angle BAE $ .
$ \angle BAE $ = $ 90^\circ $ - $ \angle AFC $ and $ \angle AFC $ = $ 180^\circ $ - $ \angle BAC $ - $ \angle FCA $ . (from the sum of the angles of the triangle FAC)
We know that $ \angle BAC $ + $ \angle ABC $ +$ \angle ACB $ = $ 180^\circ $ (*)
And $ \angle ABC $ = 2$ \angle ABG $ = 2$ \angle GBC $ ,...(**)
Due to the (*) and (**) , the proof is complete !

Note that $\angle EDI =\angle EAI= \frac{\pi-A-C}2=\frac B2 = \angle DBC$, so we're done.
