Oundle Test 3 29 May 2007 1. Let ABC be a triangle with 2B # ZC. The incircle J of ABC touches the sides BC, CA, AB at the points D, E, F, respectively. Let AD intersect J at D and P. Let Q be the intersection of the line BF and the line passing through P and perpendicular to AD, and let X, Y be intersections of the line AQ and DE, DF, respectively, Show that the point A is the midpoint of XY, For three mutually distinct real numbers a1, a2, a3, define three real numbers by, bz, bs as follows: b= (14 ME) (a4 oy J. {i,j,k} = {1,2,3}. a4, a5 — ay Prove the inequality 1+ labs + cabs + asbs| < (1+ far|)(1 + |aa|)(1 + asl). When does equality hold? 3. Suppose that (x + 1)" — 1 is divisible by a polynomial P(x) = a* + ceit*! + yon? + --- + ex + cp of an even degree k such that Cp, C1, +++ 5 Ck-1 are odd gers, Prove that n is divisible by k + 1.
