Problem 1
Let a , b , c > 0 a,b,c>0 a , b , c > 0 the sides of a right triangle. Find all real x x x for which a x > b x + c x a^x>b^x+c^x a x > b x + c x , with a a a is the longest side.
Problem 2
Determine all integer solutions (a,b,c) with c ≤ 94 c\leq 94 c ≤ 94 for which:
( a + c ) 2 + ( b + c ) 2 = 60 + 20 c (a+\sqrt c)^2+(b+\sqrt c)^2 = 60 + 20\sqrt c ( a + c ) 2 + ( b + c ) 2 = 60 + 20 c
Problem 3
Two regular tetrahedrons A A A and B B B are made with the 8 vertices of a unit cube. (this way is unique)
What's the volume of A ∪ B A\cup B A ∪ B ?
Problem 4
Let ( f i ) (f_i) ( f i ) be a sequence of functions defined by: f 1 ( x ) = x , f n ( x ) = f n − 1 ( x ) − 1 4 f_1(x)=x, f_n(x) = \sqrt{f_{n-1}(x)}-\dfrac14 f 1 ( x ) = x , f n ( x ) = f n − 1 ( x ) − 4 1 . ( n ∈ N , n ≥ 2 n\in \mathbb{N}, n\ge2 n ∈ N , n ≥ 2 )
(a) Prove that f n ( x ) ≤ f n − 1 ( x ) f_n(x) \le f_{n-1}(x) f n ( x ) ≤ f n − 1 ( x ) for all x where both functions are defined.
(b) Find for each n n n the points of x x x inside the domain for which f n ( x ) = x f_n(x)=x f n ( x ) = x .
