Other problems

Problem 1

Find the locus of all numbers z∈Cz\in\mathbb C in complex plane satisfying z+zˉ=a⋅∣z∣,z+\bar z=a\cdot|z|, where a∈Ra\in\mathbb R is given.

Problem 2

Let α,β,γ\alpha,\beta,\gamma be angles of a triangle. Two of them can be expressed using an auxiliary angle φ\varphi in a way that α=φ+π4,β=π−3φ.\alpha=\varphi+\frac\pi4, \beta=\pi-3\varphi. Show that α>γ.\alpha>\gamma.

Problem 3

Prove that the inequality (a1+⋯+an)(1a1+⋯+1an)≥n2\left(a_1+\cdots+a_n\right)\left(\frac{1}{a_1}+\cdots+\frac{1}{a_n}\right)\ge n^2 holds for any positive numbers a1,…,ana_1,\ldots,a_n and determine when equality occurs.

Problem 4

Consider skew lines a,ba,b and a plane ρ\rho that intersect both of the lines (but does not contain any of them). Choose such points X∈a,Y∈bX\in a,Y\in b that XY∥ρ.XY\parallel\rho. Find the locus of midpoints MM of all segments XY,XY, when XX moves along line aa .
