Problem 1

Given a convex quadrilateral with ∠B+∠D<180\angle B+\angle D<180 .Let PP be an arbitrary point on the plane,define f(P)=PA∗BC+PD∗CA+PC∗ABf(P)=PA*BC+PD*CA+PC*AB . (1)Prove that P,A,B,CP,A,B,C are concyclic when f(P)f(P) attains its minimum. (2)Suppose that EE is a point on the minor arc ABAB of the circumcircle OO of ABCABC ,such that AE=32AB,BC=(3−1)EC,∠ECA=2∠ECBAE=\frac{\sqrt 3}{2}AB,BC=(\sqrt 3-1)EC,\angle ECA=2\angle ECB .Knowing that DA,DCDA,DC are tangent to circle OO , AC=2AC=\sqrt 2 ,find the minimum of f(P)f(P) .

Problem 2

Let f(x)f(x) be a periodic function with periods TT and 11 ( 0<T<10<T<1 ).Prove that: (1)If TT is rational,then there exists a prime pp such that 1p\frac{1}{p} is also a period of ff ; (2)If TT is irrational,then there exists a strictly decreasing infinite sequence { ana_n },with 1>an>01>a_n>0 for all positive integer nn ,such that all ana_n are periods of ff .
