Problem 1

Let f:P→Pf : P\to P be a bijective map from a plane PP to itself such that: (i) f(r)f (r) is a line for every line rr , (ii) f(r)f (r) is parallel to rr for every line rr . What possible transformations can ff be?

Problem 2

Determine if there exists a subset EE of Z×ZZ \times Z with the properties: (i) EE is closed under addition, (ii) EE contains (0,0),(0,0), (iii) For every (a,b)≠(0,0),E(a,b) \ne (0,0), E contains exactly one of (a,b)(a,b) and −(a,b)-(a,b) .

Remark: We define (a,b)+(a′,b′)=(a+a′,b+b′)(a,b)+(a',b') = (a+a',b+b') and −(a,b)=(−a,−b)-(a,b) = (-a,-b) .

Problem 3

Solve the equation tan22x+2tan2xtan3x=1tan^2 2x+2 tan2x tan3x = 1

Problem 4

Prove that for each positive integer kk there exists a triple (a,b,c)(a,b,c) of positive integers such that abc=k(a+b+c)abc = k(a+b+c) . In all such cases prove that a3+b3+c3a^3+b^3+c^3 is not a prime.

Problem 5

Find the equation of the circle in the complex plane determined by the roots of the equation z3+(−1+i)z2+(1−i)z+i=0z^3 +(-1+i)z^2+(1-i)z+i= 0 .

Problem 6

Let OXOX and OYOY be non-collinear rays. Through a point AA on OXOX , draw two lines r1r_1 and r2r_2 that are antiparallel with respect to ∠XOY\angle XOY . Let r1r_1 cut OYOY at MM and r2r_2 cut OYOY at NN . (Thus, ∠OAM=∠ONA\angle OAM = \angle ONA ). The bisectors of ∠AMY\angle AMY and ∠ANY\angle ANY meet at PP . Determine the location of PP .
