Other problems

Problem 1

aa and bb are rationals. Show that if ax2+by2=1ax^2 + by^2 = 1 has a rational solution (in xx and yy ), then it must have infinitely many.

Problem 2

The vertices of a convex nn -gon are colored so that adjacent vertices have different colors. Prove that if nn is odd, then the polygon can be divided into triangles with non-intersecting diagonals such that no diagonal has its endpoints the same color.

Problem 3

A triangle has inradius rr and circumradius RR . Its longest altitude has length HH . Show that if the triangle does not have an obtuse angle, then H≥r+RH \ge r+R . When does equality hold?
