Problem 2

When drawing all diagonals in a regular pentagon, one gets an smaller pentagon in the middle. What's the ratio of the areas of those pentagons?

Problem 4

Let DD be the set of positive reals different from 11 and let nn be a positive integer. If for f:D→Rf: D\rightarrow \mathbb{R} we have xnf(x)=f(x2)x^n f(x)=f(x^2) , and if f(x)=xnf(x)=x^n for 0<x<119890<x<\frac{1}{1989} and for x>1989x>1989 , then prove that f(x)=xnf(x)=x^n for all x∈Dx \in D .
