Let ABCD be a parallelogram. Construct squares ABC1D1,BCD2A2,CDA3B3,DAB4C4 on the outer side of the parallelogram. Construct a square having B4D1 as one of its sides and it is on the outer side of AB4D1 and call its center OA. Similarly do it for C1A2,D2B3,A3C4 to obtain OB,OC,OD. Prove that AOA=BOB=COC=DOD. Sum of three square polynomials
Let P be a quadratic (polynomial of degree two) with a positive leading coefficient and negative discriminant. Prove that there exists three quadratics P1,P2,P3 such that:
- P(x)=P1(x)+P2(x)+P3(x)
- P1,P2,P3 have positive leading coefficients and zero discriminants (and hence each has a double root)
- The roots of P1,P2,P3 are different Find M so one number exceeds the target
Determine all positive real M such that for any positive reals a,b,c, at least one of a+abM,b+bcM,c+caM is greater than or equal to 1+M. Circumcircle intersections everywhere
Let ABC be an acute triangle and ω be its circumcircle. The bisector of ∠BAC intersects ω at [another point] M. Let P be a point on AM and inside △ABC. Lines passing P that are parallel to AB and AC intersects BC on E,F respectively. Lines ME,MF intersects ω at points K,L respectively. Prove that AM,BL,CK are concurrent.
