Problem 1

Find all positive integers (a,b)(a, b) , such that a22ab2−b3+1\frac{a^2}{2ab^2-b^3+1} is also a positive integer.

Problem 2

Prove that there doesn't exist any function f:N→Nf:\mathbb{N}\rightarrow \mathbb{N} such that : f(f(n−1)=f(n+1)−f(n)f(f(n-1)=f(n+1)-f(n) , for every natural n≥2n\geq2

Problem 3

If aa and bb are positive real numbers with sum 33 , and x,y,zx, y, z positive real numbers with product 11 , prove that : (ax+b)(ay+b)(az+b)≥27(ax+b)(ay+b)(az+b)\geq 27

Problem 4

For every n∈N0n \in \mathbb{N}_{0} , prove that ∑k=0[n2]2n−2k(n2k)=3n+12\sum_{k=0}^{\left[\frac{n}{2} \right]}{2}^{n-2k} \binom{n}{2k}=\frac{3^{n}+1}{2}

Problem 5

Given triangle ABCABC . Let PP , QQ , RR , be the tangency points of inscribed circle of △ABC\triangle ABC on sides ABAB , BCBC , ACAC respectively. We take the reflection of these points with respect to midpoints of the sides they lie on, and denote them as P′,Q′P',Q' and R′R' . Prove that AP′AP' , BQ′BQ' , and CR′CR' are concurrent.
