ILL 1990 Problem 92

    Let nn be a positive integer and m=(n+1)(n+2)2m = \frac{(n+1)(n+2)}{2} . In coordinate plane, there are nn distinct lines L1,L2,…,LnL_1, L_2, \ldots, L_n and mm distinct points A1,A2,…,AmA_1, A_2, \ldots, A_m , satisfying the following conditions:i) Any two lines are non-parallel.ii) Any three lines are non-concurrent.iii) Only A1A_1 does not lies on any line LkL_k , and there are exactly k+1k + 1 points AjA_j 's that lie on line LkL_k (k=1,2,…,n).(k = 1, 2, \ldots, n). Prove that there exist a unique polynomial p(x,y)p(x, y) with degree nn satisfying p(A1)=1p(A_1) = 1 and p(Aj)=0p(A_j) = 0 for j=2,3,…,m.j = 2, 3, \ldots, m.
