Problem 1
(Hungary) Solve the system of equations:
where and
are constants. Give the conditions that
and
must satisfy so that
(the solutions of the system) are distinct positive numbers.
Problem 2
Let a,b, and c be the lengths of a triangle whose area is S. Prove that
In what case does equality hold?
Problem 3
Solve the equation
where n is a given positive integer.
Day 2
Problem 4
In the interior of triangle a point P is given. Let
be the intersections of
with the opposing edges of triangle
. Prove that among the ratios
there exists one not larger than 2 and one not smaller than 2.
Problem 5
Construct a triangle ABC if the following elements are given: , and
where M is the midpoint of BC. Prove that the construction has a solution if and only if
In what case does equality hold?
Problem 6
Consider a plane and three non-collinear points
on the same side of
; suppose the plane determined by these three points is not parallel to
. In plane
take three arbitrary points
. Let
be the midpoints of segments
; Let
be the centroid of the triangle
. (We will not consider positions of the points
such that the points
do not form a triangle.) What is the locus of point
as
range independently over the plane
?
