In an acute-angled triangle \(ABC\), \(H\) be the orthocenter of it and \(D\) be any point on the side \(BC\). The points \(E, F\) are on the segments \(AB, AC\), respectively, such that the points \(A, B, D, F\) and \(A, C, D, E\) are cyclic. The segments \(BF\) and \(CE\) intersect at \(P.\) \(L\) is a point on \(HA\) such that \(LC\) is tangent to the circumcircle of triangle \(PBC\) at \(C.\) \(BH\) and \(CP\) intersect at \(X\). Prove that the points \(D, X, \) and \(L\) lie on the same line.

Let \( \mathbb R \) be the set of real numbers. Find all functions \( f: \mathbb{R} \to \mathbb{R} \) such that, for all real numbers \( x \) and \( y \), the following equation holds:$$\big (x^2-y^2\big )f\big (xy\big )=xf\big (x^2y\big )-yf\big (xy^2\big ).$$

There are $n \ge 3$ positive real numbers $a_1, a_2, \dots, a_n$. For each $1 \le i \le n$ we let $b_i = \frac{a_{i-1} + a_{i+1}}{a_i}$ (here we define $a_0$ to be $a_n$ and $a_{n+1}$ to be $a_1$). Assume that for all $i$ and $j$ in the range $1$ to $n$, we have $a_i \le a_j$ if and only if $b_i \le b_j$.
Prove that $a_1 = a_2 = \dots = a_n$.

Consider five points on a circle. For every three of them, we draw the perpendicular from the centroid of the triangle they determine to the line through the remaining two points. Prove that the ten lines thus formed are concurrent.

Let $M$ be center of mass of this $5$ points. Let $X$ be centroid of some triangle and $Y$ be midpoint of chord with two other points. Then if line $OM$ intersects line drawn through $X$ at point $P$, then $\frac{OM}{MP}=\frac{MY}{MX}=\frac{3}{2}$, so position of $P$ is uniquely determined by the position of points $O,M$. (if $M=O$, then $P=O$).
Generalization of this problem is in plane geometry by V. Prasolov (problem 14.13): on a circle, $n$ points are given. Through the center of mass of $n-2$ points a straight line is drawn perpendicularly to the chord that connects the two remaining points. Prove that all such straight lines intersect at one point.
