Day 1

Grades 10-12

1

In each square of a $3 \times 3$ board a real number is written. The element of the $i$ -th row and the $j$ -th column is equal to abso;uteof the difference of the sum of the elements of column $j$ and the sum of the elements of row $i$. Prove that every element of the board is equal to the sum or difference of two other elements on the board.

2

Let $M$ be the point of intersection of the diagonals $AC$ and $BD$ of the convex quadrilateral $ABCD$. Let$ K$ be the intersection point of the extension of side $AB$ (from $A$) with the bisector of the $\angle ACD$. If $MA \cdot MC + MA \cdot CD = MB\cdot MD$ , prove that $\angle BKC = \angle CDB$.

3

Let $n$ be a positive integer. a) Prove that the number $(2n + 1)^3 - (2n - 1)^3$ is the sum of three perfect squares. b) Prove that the number $(2n+1)^3-2$ is the sum of $3n-1$ perfect squares greater than $1$.

Let $f$ be a linear function such that $f(0) = -5$ and $f(f(0)) = -15$. Find the values of $ k \in R$ for which the solutions of the inequality $f(x) \cdot f(k - x) > 0$, lie in an interval of length $2$.

2

Let $ABCD$ be a square. On the sides $BC$ and $CD$ the points $M$ and $K$ respectively, so that $MC = KD$. Let $P$ the intersection point of of segments $MD$ and $BK$. Prove that $AP \perp MK$.

3

Prove that there is no natural number n such that the sum of all the digits of the number m, where $m = n(2n-1)$ is equal to $2000$.

Grade 11

4

The tangents at four different points of an arc of a circle less than $180^o$ intersect forming a convex quadrilateral $ABCD$. Prove that two of the vertices belong to an ellipse whose foci to the other two vertices.

5

Let $p$ and $q$ be two positive integers such that $1 \le q \le p$. Also let $a = \left( p +\sqrt{p^2 + q} \right)^2$. a) Prove that the number $a$ is irrational. b) Show that $\{a\} > 0.75$.

6

The roots of the equation $ax^2 - 4bx + 4c = 0$ with $ a > 0$ belong to interval $[2, 3]$. Prove that: a) $a \le b \le c < a + b.$ b) $\frac{a}{a+c} + \frac{b}{b+a} > \frac{c}{b+c} .$

8

Find all real solutions of the equation $x + cos x = 1$.

9

In triangle $ABC$, right at $C$, let $F$ be the intersection point of the altitude $CD$ with the angle bisector $AE$ and $G$ be the intersection point of $ED$ with $BF$. Prove that the area of the quadrilateral $CEGF$ is equal to the area of the triangle $BDG$ .
