Problem 1

  • Paper

Let ABCA B C be a triangle with ∠BAC≠90∘\angle B A C \neq 90^{\circ}. Let OO be the circumcenter of the triangle ABCA B C and let Γ\Gamma be the circumcircle of the triangle BOCB O C. Suppose that Γ\Gamma intersects the line segment ABA B at PP different from BB, and the line segment ACA C at QQ different from CC. Let ONO N be a diameter of the circle Γ\Gamma. Prove that the quadrilateral APNQA P N Q is a parallelogram.

Find all functions ff from the set R\mathbf{R} of real numbers into R\mathbf{R} which satisfy for all x,y,z∈Rx, y, z \in \mathbf{R} the identity

f(f(x)+f(y)+f(z))=f(f(x)−f(y))+f(2xy+f(z))+2f(xz−yz).f(f(x)+f(y)+f(z))=f(f(x)-f(y))+f(2 x y+f(z))+2 f(x z-y z) .
