Two circles and Three line concurrency
mofidy   0
2 hours ago
Two circles $W_1$ and $W_2$ with equal radii intersect at P and Q. Points B and C are located on the circles$W_1$ and $W_2$ so that they are inside the circles $W_2$ and $W_1$, respectively. Also, points X and Y distinct from P are located on $W_1$ and $W_2$, respectively, so that:
$$\angle{CPQ} = \angle{CXQ}  \text{ and } \angle{BPQ} = \angle{BYQ}.$$The intersection point of the circumcircles of triangles XPC and YPB is called S. Prove that BC, XY and QS are concurrent.
Thanks.

$\lim_{x \to 8} \frac{2x^2+13x+6}{x^2+14x+48}=$ ? (there is an easy workaround)
(I know this is very easy- a little child can solve this in 1 second kinda problem so don't argue or mock me please)

Let $a_1,a_2,\dots$ be a sequence of nonnegative real numbers whose sum is $1$. Find the maximum possible value of $$\sum_{k=1}^\infty \left(k\cdot (3k+2) \cdot 2^{-k} \cdot \sqrt[k]{a_1a_2\dots a_k}\right).$$

Distribution of prime numbers

N Yesterday at 5:09 PM by Rainbow1971
Could anybody possibly prove that the limit of $$(\frac{p_n}{p_n + p_{n-1}})$$is $\tfrac{1}{2}$, maybe even with rather elementary means? As usual, $p_n$ denotes the $n$-th prime number. The problem of that limit came up in my partial solution of this problem: https://artofproblemsolving.com/community/c7h3495516.

Thank you for your efforts.

Let $U_n(x)$ be a Chebyshev polynomial of the second kind. If n>2 and x > 2 is a integer, Could $U_n(x) -1$ be a prime number?
Thanks.

A function $ f:\mathbb{R}\longrightarrow\mathbb{R} $ has property $ \mathcal{F} , $ if for any real number $ a, $ there exists a $ b<a $ such that $ f(x)\le f(a), $ for all $ x\in (b,a) . $

a) Give an example of a function with property $ \mathcal{F} $ that is not monotone on $ \mathbb{R} . $
b) Prove that a continuous function that has property $ \mathcal{F} $ is nondecreasing.
