Problem 1
Let be the number of permutations of the set
, which have exactly
fixed points. Prove that
.
(Remark: A permutation of a set
is a one-to-one mapping of
onto itself. An element
in
is called a fixed point of the permutation
if
.)
Problem 2
In an acute-angled triangle the interior bisector of the angle
intersects
at
and intersects the circumcircle of
again at
. From point
perpendiculars are drawn to
and
, the feet of these perpendiculars being
and
respectively. Prove that the quadrilateral
and the triangle
have equal areas.
Problem 3
Let be real numbers satisfying
. Prove that for every integer
there are integers
, not all 0, such that
for all
and
.
Day 2
Problem 4
Prove that there is no function from the set of non-negative integers into itself such that
for every
.
Problem 5
Let be an integer greater than or equal to 3. Prove that there is a set of
points in the plane such that the distance between any two points is irrational and each set of three points determines a non-degenerate triangle with rational area.
Problem 6
Let be an integer greater than or equal to 2. Prove that if
is prime for all integers
such that
, then
is prime for all integers
such that
.
