Practice Problem Set #1 For 1999 Further Training: B B B H H H

The document contains 5 practice problems: (1) finding integral solutions to a system of equations involving cubes, (2) relating ratios of lengths involving an inscribed circle and perpendiculars in a triangle, (3) representing integers greater than 17 as sums of three relatively prime integers and showing 17 does not have this property, (4) proving lines related to orthocenters of triangles are concurrent, (5) finding values of n such that a defined recursive sequence has a rational term.

x y z 3 and x 3 y 3 z 3 3 .

2.

Let the inscribed circle of triangle ABC touches side BC at D, side CA at E and
side AB at F. Let G be the foot of perpendicular from D to EF. Show that
FG BF

.
EG CE

3.

Prove that every integer greater than 17 can be represented as a sum of three
integer greater than 1 which are pairwise relatively prime, and show that 17 does
not have this property.

4.

A circle passing through vertices B and C of triangle ABC intersects sides AB and
AC at C and B , respectively. Prove that the lines BB , CC and HH are
concurrent, where H and H are the orthocenters of triangles ABC and AB C ,
respectively.

5.

(Proposed by Leung Wing Chung) For each positive integer n, define the
sequence a1 n , ai 1 ai 2 ai 1 for i 1, 2, 3, . Find all those n such that
a k 1
is rational for some k.
