INMO 2006 Problem 3

  • Answer

Let XX denote the set of all triples (a,b,c)(a, b, c) of integers. Define a function f:X→Xf: X \rightarrow X by

f(a,b,c)=(a+b+c,ab+bc+ca,abc)f(a, b, c)=(a+b+c, a b+b c+c a, a b c)

Find all triples (a,b,c)(a, b, c) in XX such that f(f(a,b,c))=(a,b,c)f(f(a, b, c))=(a, b, c).
