Other problems

Problem 1

Consider all sets AA of one hundred different natural numbers with the property that any three elements a,b,c∈Aa,b,c \in A (not necessarily different) are the sides of a non-obtuse triangle. Denote by S(A)S(A) the sum of the perimeters of all such triangles. Compute the smallest possible value of S(A)S(A) .

Problem 2

Several paper-made disks (not necessarily equal) are put on the table so that there is some overlapping, but no disk is entirely inside another. The parts that overlap are cut off and removed. Show that the remaining parts cannot be assembled so as to form different disks.

Problem 4

Given a prime number pp , find all integer solutions of p(x+y)=xyp(x+y) = xy .

Problem 5

Prove that if the equations x3+mx−n=0x^3+mx-n = 0 nx3−2m2x2−5mnx−2m3−n2=0nx^3-2m^2x^2 -5mnx-2m^3-n^2 = 0 have one root in common ( n≠0n \ne 0 ), then the first equation has two equal roots, and find the roots of the equations in terms of nn .

Problem 6

Let CC be a variable interior point of a fixed segment ABAB . Equilateral triangles ACB′ACB' and CBA′CBA' are constructed on the same side and ABC′ABC' on the other side of the line ABAB . (a) Prove that the lines AA′,BB′AA' ,BB' , and CC′CC' meet at some point PP . (b) Find the locus of PP as CC varies. (c) Prove that the centers A′′,B′′,C′′A'' ,B'' ,C'' of the three triangles form an equilateral triangle. (d) Prove that A′′,B′′,C′′A'' ,B'',C'' , and PP lie on a circle.
