| 1. How many real x satisfy x = [x/2] + [x/3] + [x/5]? |
|
| 2. Find all real x equal to √(x - 1/x) + √(1 - 1/x). |
|
| 3. Show that if n > 1 is an integer then (1 + 1/3 + 1/5 + ... + 1/(2n-1) )/(n+1) > (1/2 + 1/4 + ... + 1/2n)/n. |
|
| 4. The triangle ABC has ∠A = 40o and ∠B = 60o. X is a point inside the triangle such that ∠XBA = 20o and ∠XCA = 10o. Show that AX is perpendicular to BC. |
|
| 5. Show that non-negative integers a <= b satisfy (a2 + b2) = n2(ab + 1), where n is a positive integer, iff they are consecutive terms in the sequence ak defined by a0 = 0, a1 = n, ak+1 = n2ak - ak-1. |
