Day 1

Problem 1

  • Day 1

Let A,B,C,DA,B,C,D be four distinct points on a line, in that order. The circles with diameters ACAC and BDBD intersect at XX and YY . The line XYXY meets BCBC at ZZ . Let PP be a point on the line XYXY other than ZZ . The line CPCP intersects the circle with diameter ACAC at CC and MM , and the line BPBP intersects the circle with diameter BDBD at BB and NN . Prove that the lines AM,DN,XYAM,DN,XY are concurrent.

Problem 2

  • Day 1

Let aa , bb , cc be positive real numbers such that abc=1abc = 1 . Prove that 1a3(b+c)+1b3(c+a)+1c3(a+b)≥32.\frac {1}{a^{3}\left(b + c\right)} + \frac {1}{b^{3}\left(c + a\right)} + \frac {1}{c^{3}\left(a + b\right)}\geq \frac {3}{2}.
