Problem Statement

BCBC is a segment, MM is point on BCBC, AA is a point such that A,B,CA, B, C are non-collinear.
(i) Prove that if MM is the midpoint of BCBC, then AB2+AC2=2(AM2+BM2).AB^2 + AC^2 = 2(AM^2 + BM^2).
(ii) If there exists another point (except MM) on segment BCBC satisfying (i), find the region of point AA might occupy.
