Problem Statement

8.1 In the parallelogram ABCDABCD , the diagonal ACAC is greater than the diagonal BDBD. The point MM on the diagonal ACAC is such that around the quadrilateral BCDMBCDM one can circumscribe a circle. Prove that BDBD is the common tangent of the circles circumscribed around the triangles ABMABM and ADMADM. https://cdn.artofproblemsolving.com/attachments/b/3/9f77ff1f2198c201e5c270ec5b091a9da4d0bc.png
8.2 AA is an odd integer, xx and yy are roots of equation t2+Atāˆ’1=0t^2+At-1=0. Prove that x4+y4x^4 + y^4 and x5+y5x^5+ y^5 are coprime integer numbers.
8.3 A regular triangle is reflected symmetrically relative to one of its sides. The new triangle is again reflected symmetrically about one of its sides. This is repeated several times. It turned out that the resulting triangle coincides with the original one. Prove that an even number of reflections were made.
8.4 /7.6 Several circles are arbitrarily placed in a circle of radius 33, the sum of their radii is 2525. Prove that there is a straight line that intersects at least 99 of these circles.
8.5 All two-digit numbers that do not end in zero are written one after another so that each subsequent number begins with that the same digit with which the previous number ends. Prove that you can do this and find the sum of the largest and smallest of all multi-digit numbers that can be obtained in this way.
