Problem 1

An integer is square-free if it is not divisible by a2a^2 for any integer a>1a>1 . Let SS be the set of positive square-free integers. Determine, with justification, the value of∑kϵS[1010k]\sum_{k\epsilon S}\left[\sqrt{\frac{10^{10}}{k}}\right]where [x][x] denote the greatest integer less than or equal to xx

Problem 2

Let GG be the centroid of triangle ABCABC . Through GG draw a line parallel to BCBC and intersecting the sides ABAB and ACAC at PP and QQ respectively. Let BQBQ intersect GCGC at EE and CPCP intersect GBGB at FF . If DD is midpoint of BCBC , prove that triangles ABCABC and DEFDEF are similar

Problem 3

Let a,b,ca,b,c be real numbers satisfying a<b<c,a+b+c=6,ab+bc+ac=9a<b<c,a+b+c=6,ab+bc+ac=9 . Prove that 0<a<1<b<3<c<40<a<1<b<3<c<4

Since the xx -coordinate of the interception point between y=x(x−3)2y=x(x-3)^2 and y=4y=4 which is the tangent line at

local maximum point (1,4)(1,4) is a point (4,4)(4,4) ,Moving the line y=ky=k so that the two graphs y=x(x−3)2y=x(x-3)^2 and y=ky=k have the distinct three interception points,we can find that the range of a,b,ca,b,c are 0<a<1,1<b<3,3<c<40<a<1,1<b<3,3<c<4 ,we are done.
