Problem 1

Find the smallest natural number x>0x> 0 so that all following fractions are simplified 3x+98,3x+109,3x+1110,...,3x+4948\frac{3x+9}{8},\frac{3x+10}{9},\frac{3x+11}{10},...,\frac{3x+49}{48} , i.e. numerators and denominators are relatively prime.

Problem 2

Solve the following system of equations over the real numbers: 2x1=x52−232x_1 = x_5 ^2 - 23 4x2=x12+74x_2 = x_1 ^2 + 7 6x3=x22+146x_3 = x_2 ^2 + 14 8x4=x32+238x_4 = x_3 ^2 + 23 10x5=x42+3410x_5 = x_4 ^2 + 34

Problem 3

In the convex ABCDEFABCDEF (has all interior angles less than 180o180^o ) with the perimeter ss the triangles ACEACE and BDFBDF have perimeters uu and vv respectively. a) Show the inequalities 12≤su+v≤1\frac{1}{2} \le \frac{s}{u+v}\le 1 b) Check whether 11 is replaced by a smaller number or 1/21/2 by a larger number can the inequality remains valid for all convex hexagons.

Problem 4

Let a0,a1,...,a2002a_0, a_1, ..., a_{2002} be real numbers. a) Show that the smallest of the values ak(1−a2002−k)a_k (1-a_{2002-k}) ( 0≤k≤20020 \le k \le 2002 ) the following applies: it is smaller or equal to 1/41/4 . b) Does this statement always apply to the smallest of the values ak(1−a2003−k)a_k (1-a_{2003-k}) ( 1≤k≤20021 \le k \le 2002 ) ? c) Show for positive real numbers a0,a1,...,a2002a_0, a_1, ..., a_{2002} : the smallest of the values ak(1−a2003−k)a_k (1-a_{2003-k}) ( 1≤k≤20021 \le k \le 2002 ) is less than or equal to 1/41/4 .
