BG-MO 1993 Problem 5

    Let OxyOxy be a fixed rectangular coordinate system in the plane. Each ordered pair of points A1,A2A_1, A_2 from the same plane which are different from O and have coordinates x1,y1x_1, y_1 and x2,y2x_2, y_2 respectively is associated with real number f(A1,A2)f(A_1,A_2) in such a way that the following conditions are satisfied:

    (a) If OA1=OB1OA_1 = OB_1 , OA2=OB2OA_2 = OB_2 and A1A2=B1B2A_1A_2 = B_1B_2 then f(A1,A2)=f(B1,B2)f(A_1,A_2) = f(B_1,B_2) .

    (b) There exists a polynomial of second degree F(u,v,w,z)F(u,v,w,z) such that f(A1,A2)=F(x1,y1,x2,y2)f(A_1,A_2)=F(x_1,y_1,x_2,y_2) .

    (c) There exists such a number ϕ∈(0,π)\phi \in (0,\pi) that for every two points A1,A2A_1, A_2 for which ∠A1OA2=ϕ\angle A_1OA_2 = \phi is satisfied f(A1,A2)=0f(A_1,A_2) = 0 .

    (d) If the points A1,A2A_1, A_2 are such that the triangle OA1A2OA_1A_2 is equilateral with side 11 then f(A1,A2)=12f(A_1,A_2) = \frac12 .

    Prove that f(A1,A2)=OA1→⋅OA2→f(A_1,A_2) = \overrightarrow{OA_1} \cdot \overrightarrow{OA_2} for each ordered pair of points A1,A2A_1, A_2 .
