in $ABC$ let $E$ and $F$ be points on line $AC$ and $AB$ respectively such that $BE$ is parallel to $CF$. suppose that the circumcircle of $BCE$ meet $AB$ again at $F'$ and the circumcircle of $BCF$ meets $AC$ again at $E'$. show that $BE'$ Is parallel to $CF'$.

a sequence $(a_n)$ $n$ $\geq 1$ is defined by the following equations; $a_1=1$, $a_2=2$ ,$a_3=1$, $a_{2n-1}$$a_{2n}$=$a_2$$a_{2n-3}$+$(a_2a_{2n-3}+a_4a_{2n-5}.....+a_{2n-2}a_1)$ for $n$ $\geq 2$ $na_{2n}$$a_{2n+1}$=$a_2$$a_{2n-2}$+$(a_2a_{2n-2}+a_4a_{2n-4}.....+a_{2n-2}a_2)$ for $n$ $\geq 2$ find $a_{2020}$
given any 3 distinct points $X,Y,Z$on the integer coordinates of the x-axis,the following operation is allowed:A point say $X$ is reflected over another point say $Y$. Note that after each operation only one among three points is moved. we perform these operations till 2 out of the 3 points coincide. let $N=N(X,Y,Z)$ denote the minimum number of operations before we are forced to stop.(this could happen in different ways). show that there are at most $2^N$coordinates that point $X$ could end up if we are forced to stop after $N$operations
let $p$and $q=p+2$ be twin primes. consider the diophantine equation $(+)$ given by $n!+pq^2=(mp)^2$ $m\geq1$, $n\geq1$ i. if $m=p$,find the value of $p$. ii. how many solution quadruple $(p,q,m,n)$ does $(+)$ have ?
