Problem 1

The function ff satisfies the condition f(x+1)=1+f(x)1−f(x)f (x + 1) = \frac{1 + f (x)}{1 - f (x)} for all real xx , for which the function is defined. Determine f(2012)f(2012) , if we known that f(1000)=2012f(1000)=2012 .

Problem 2

The number 201212200619201212200619 has a factor mm such that 6⋅109<m<6.5⋅1096 \cdot 10^9 <m <6.5 \cdot 10^9 . Find mm .

Problem 3

The catheti ACAC and BCBC in a right-angled triangle ABCABC have lengths bb and aa , respectively. A circle centered at CC is tangent to hypotenuse ABAB at point DD . The tangents to the circle through points AA and BB intersect the circle at points EE and FF , respectively (where EE and FF are both different from DD ). Express the length of the segment EFEF in terms of aa and bb .

Problem 4

Given that aa is a real solution to the polynomial equation nxn−xn−1−xn−2−⋯−x−1=0nx^n-x^{n-1}-x^{n-2}-\cdots-x-1=0 where nn is a positive integer, show that a=1a=1 or −1<a<0-1<a<0 .

Problem 5

The vertices of a regular 1313 -gon are colored in three different colors. Show that there are three vertices which have the same color and are also the vertices of an isosceles triangle.

Problem 6

A circle is inscribed in an trapezoid. Show that the diagonals of the trapezoid intersect at a point on the diameter of the circle perpendicular to the two parallel sides.
