Re: BdMO National Higher Secondary 2018/4
Lemma: If we draw $x$ lines on plane, we will get maximum $\frac{x(x-1)}{2}$ intersection points. Proof: $2$ lines needed for a intersection point. So, maximum number of intersection point is $xC2=\frac{x(x-1)}{2}$ Here $200$ intersection points. So, $\frac{m(m-1)}{2} \geq 200 \Rightarrow m > 20$. ...

Re: Equality and square
The case of negative integers is quite trivial. Now we'll work with case $a,b > 0$ Lemma 1: $x < 2^x$ Proof: We'll prove it by induction. Base case is solved. Now assume $x<2^x \Rightarrow x+1<2^x+1 \le 2^{x+1}$. Done! Lemma 2: $b^2 < 2^{2b+1}$ Proof: We'll prove it by induction. Base case is solved...

Re: IMO 2017 Problem 2
NO INJECTIVITY!!! Notice that, if $f(x)$ is a solution, then $-f(x)$ is also a solution. Let $P(x,y)$ denotes the assertion. $P(0,0)$ implies $f(f(0)^2)=0$ . Now if $f(0)=0$ , $P(x,0)$ implies $f(x)=0$ for all $x \in \mathbb{R} $. So, assume $f(0) \neq 0$. Claim 1: If $f(x)=0$, then $ x=1$ Proof: As...

Re: IMO 2001 Problem1
Our problem is equivalent to $OP>CP$. Lemma 1: $BP \ge R+PC$ where $R$ is the circumradius of $\triangle ABC$. Proof of lemma: $BP-PC=AB \cos \angle B - AC \cos \angle C = 2R(\sin \angle C \cos \angle B - \sin \angle B \cos \angle C ) \ge R$ because $\angle C- \angle B \ge 30$. Now we back to our p...

Re: Particular divisibility..
Case 1: $a=b>1$ $a^2-a|a^2+a$ or $a^2-a|2a$. So, $a \le 3$. Checking the values, we get $a=2$ and $a=3$. Case 2: $a \neq b$ WLOG $a>b$ $a^2-b|b^2+a \Rightarrow b^2+a \ge a^2-b \Rightarrow b(b+1) \ge a(a-1)$. As $a>b$, we get $b+1>a-1 \Rightarrow a-b<2 \Rightarrow a=b+1$. $b^2-a|a^2+b \Rightarrow b^...

Re: CGMO 2007/5
$M$ is the midpoint of $AC$ and $X$ is the midpoint of $AF$. Proving $\angle DEF = 90$ is equivalent to $MDEF$ cyclic or $\angle MEF = \angle MDF = 30$ It is easy to show $\triangle DFX$ is equilateral. So, $ABDX$ is cyclic. $\angle EFC = \angle BXC = 60+\angle BAD$, so $\angle FEC = 90 - \angle BA...
