Day 1

Problem 1

  • Day 1

MM is any point on the side ABAB of the triangle ABCABC . r,r1,r2r,r_1,r_2 are the radii of the circles inscribed in ABC,AMC,BMCABC,AMC,BMC . qq is the radius of the circle on the opposite side of ABAB to CC , touching the three sides of ABAB and the extensions of CACA and CBCB . Similarly, q1q_1 and q2q_2 . Prove that r1r2q=rq1q2r_1r_2q=rq_1q_2 .

Problem 3

  • Day 1

The real numbers a0,a1,a2,…a_0,a_1,a_2,\ldots satisfy 1=a0≤a1≤a2≤….b1,b2,b3,…1=a_0\le a_1\le a_2\le\ldots. b_1,b_2,b_3,\ldots are defined by bn=∑k=1n1−ak−1akakb_n=\sum_{k=1}^n{1-{a_{k-1}\over a_k}\over\sqrt a_k} .

a.) Prove that 0≤bn<20\le b_n<2 .

b.) Given cc satisfying 0≤c<20\le c<2 , prove that we can find ana_n so that bn>cb_n>c for all sufficiently large nn .

Problem 5

  • Day 2

In the tetrahedron ABCD,∠BDC=90oABCD,\angle BDC=90^o and the foot of the perpendicular from DD to ABCABC is the intersection of the altitudes of ABCABC . Prove that: (AB+BC+CA)2≤6(AD2+BD2+CD2).(AB+BC+CA)^2\le6(AD^2+BD^2+CD^2). When do we have equality?
