Active users for marathon
I'm Interested to start or restart problem solving marathon. But I'm not quite sure how many of you can participate. So those who want to participate and ready to visit those topics at least one time everyday please reply. I'll be grateful to you if you can take the responsibility of the publicity o...

Re: Find functions R to R
All the substitutions are in the main equation. :arrow: Set $x=y=0$. Then $f(f(0))=f(0)$. :arrow: Set $y=0$. Then $f(f(x))=xf(0)+f(x)$. Now if $f(0)\ne 0$, then $f(x)$ is injective, which would imply $f(0)=0$. This contradiction implies that $f(0)=0,f(f(x))=f(x)$. :arrow: Set $x=f(x),y=x$. Then $f(...

I'll post some mocks here. You can discuss them creating other threads, but not here. First Mock from me:

Re: Rectangle
I think $ABCD$ is parallelogram, not rectangle. Proof: $\angle ABD=\angle BDL=\angle BAL$, and since $\angle ABN = 90; \angle ADB=\angle ANB$ so, $\angle BAN = 90-\angle ADB$ It implies, $\angle LAN=\angle LAB- \angle NAB =\angle ABD + \angle ADB -90 =90-\angle BAD$ Similarly we can show that, $\ang...

Re: Indian tst Day 3 Problem 1
Yeah,sorry I should have noticed that. :oops: :oops: Here is what I have done yet,and I haven't completed. We have that $AD\times AC=AE\times AG$ and $\angle A$ common. So, $\triangle ACE\sim \triangle AGD$. (This could also be done by angle chasing.) Now by symmetry $\triangle ABE\cong \triangle A...

Re: Indian tst Day 3 Problem 1
Let $M$ be the midpoint of $BC$. Fact:1) $AD=DF=\frac{1}{2}AC$ Proof: Using cyclic property $\angle DFA=\angle MEB =\frac{1}{2}\angle BEC=\frac{1}{2}\angle BDC$ ; It implies, $\angle DFA=\angle DAF$;So, $AD=DF$ Fact:2) $BI$ bisects $\angle ABK$ Proof: By symmetry $\angle EBA=\angle ECA = \angle EBD$...

Re: Fourth Power
Quite interesting one. Solution: $ab+bc+ca=\frac{(a+b+c)^2-(a^2+b^2+c^2)}{2}=14$ $a^3+b^3+c^3-3abc=(a+b+c)(a^2+b^2+c^2-ab-bc-ca)$ Implies, $abc=\frac{41}{3}$ Now comes the bingo: $(a^4+b^4+c^4)-(a+b+c)(a^3+b^3+c^3)+(ab+bc+ca)(a^2+b^2+c^2)$ $-abc(a+b+c)=0$ And which implies that: $a^4+b^4+c^4=0$ Plea...
