Problem 1

Find all the polynomials P(t)P(t) of one variable that fullfill the following for all real numbers xx and yy : P(x2−y2)=P(x+y)P(x−y)P(x^2-y^2) = P(x+y)P(x-y) .

Problem 2

In the triangle ABCABC , A′A' is the foot of the altitude to AA , and HH is the orthocenter. a)a) Given a positive real number k=AA′HA′k = \frac{AA'}{HA'} , find the relationship between the angles BB and CC , as a function of kk . b)b) If BB and CC are fixed, find the locus of the vertice AA for any value of kk .

Problem 3

The function gg is defined about the natural numbers and satisfies the following conditions: g(2)=1g(2) = 1 g(2n)=g(n)g(2n) = g(n) g(2n+1)=g(2n)+1.g(2n+1) = g(2n) +1. Where nn is a natural number such that 1≤n≤20021 \leq n \leq 2002 .

Find the maximum value MM of g(n).g(n). Also, calculate how many values of nn satisfy the condition of g(n)=M.g(n) = M.

Problem 4

Denote nn as a natural number, and mm as the result of writing the digits of nn in reverse order. Determine, if they exist, the numbers of three digits which satisfy 2m+S=n2m + S = n , SS being the sum of the digits of nn .

Problem 5

Consider 20022002 segments on a plane, such that their lengths are the same. Prove that there exists such a straight line rr such that the sum of the lengths of the projections of the 20022002 segments about rr is less than 23\frac{2}{3} .

Problem 6

In a regular polygon HH of 6n+16n+1 sides ( nn is a positive integer), we paint rr vertices red, and the rest blue. Demonstrate that the number of isosceles triangles that have three of their vertices of the same color does not depend on the way we distribute the colors on the vertices of HH .
