Re: IMO 2017 Problem 2
Let $P(x,y)$ denote the FE. Note that if $f$ is a solution then $-f$ is also a solution. Now, $P(2,2)$ imply that $f(f(2)^2)=0$. Let $t=f(2)^2$. Case 1: $t \neq 1$ $P(x,t)$ implies $f(0)+f(x+t)=f(xt)$, and we can find $x$ so that $x+t=xt$. So $f(0)=0$. Now $P(x,0)$ implies $f(x)=0$ for all real $x$....

IMO 2017 Problem 2
Let $\mathbb{R}$ be the set of real numbers. Determine all functions $f: \mathbb{R} \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ such that, for any real numbers $x$ and $y:$
\[f(f(x)f(y)) + f(x+y) = f(xy).\]
\[f(f(x)f(y)) + f(x+y) = f(xy).\]

Re: IMO Shortlist 2011 N5
But $f(n)|f(0)$ and $f(0)>0$, doesn't that mean $f$ does achieve a maximal value? So your solution is correct I think.Zawadx wrote: *** Bwwaaahhh infinities

Edited. Latexing a determinant is a pain in the first place, locating these typos are difficultZawadx wrote: There's a typo in the determinant: zero for you~
It was correct in my paper, so if I had submitted, it wouldn't have been a zero, rather a seven.

Re: USA(J)MO 2017 #3
We use barycentric coordinates. Let $P\equiv (p:q:r)$. Now, we know that $pq+qr+rp=0$ [The equation of circumcircle for equilateral triangles]. Now, $D\equiv (0:q:r), E\equiv (p:0:r), F\equiv (p:q:0)$. So, the area of $\triangle DEF$ divided by the area of $\triangle ABC$ is: $$\dfrac{1}{(p+q)(q+r)(...

Are you sure that helps? $a$ and $b$ need to be coprime.aritra barua wrote:When $a,b$ € $N$ and it follows that $a^x$=$b^y$,there exists $t$ € $N$ such that $a$=$t^k$,$b$=$t^q$.This lemma can be quite handy in this problem.

Re: At last an ineq USAMO '17 #6
For calculating the tangent, See that the derivative of the function at the point $2$ is $-\dfrac{1}{12}$, and plugging $2$ gives us $\dfrac{1}{12}$. So, the equation of the tangent is $-\dfrac{x}{12}+c$, and it goes through $(2,\dfrac{1}{12})$. This lets us determine the equation.

Re: At last an ineq USAMO '17 #6
Here we use the well known tangent line trick. It is easy to see that the minimum is achieved at $(a,b,c,d)=(0,0,2,2)$ and its cyclic variants. Also, the most troublesome thing in this inequality is the quantities of the form $\dfrac{1}{x^3+4}$. So, we draw a tangent of $\dfrac{1}{x^3+4}$ at the poi...

Re: BDMO Forum Mafia #2
I propose that everyone except gonju votes himself.
We should take advantage of the voting ordering.
