    Australian Mathematical Olympiad Committee

    Exam J2, I2 (Algebra and Geometry) 2021 Selection School

    Friday 2 April, 2021

    Junior: Problems 1,2,3,4. (2 hours)


    Intermediate: Problems 3,4,5,6. (3 hours)

    Problem 1. Find all solutions in positive real numbers x, y, z to the following system of equations.

    x(6 − y) = 9
    y(6 − z) = 9
    z(6 − x) = 9

    Problem 2. Points A, B and P lie on a circle Γ1 such that ∠AP B is an obtuse angle. Let Q be
    the foot of the perpendicular from P to AB. A second circle Γ2 is drawn with centre P and radius
    P Q. The tangents from A and B to Γ2 intersect Γ1 at F and H, respectively.
    Prove that F H is tangent to Γ2 .

    Problem 3. Let P (x) = x2 + 2021x + 1. Prove that for every positive integer n, the equation

    P (P (. . . (P (x)) . . .)) = 0
      
    n times

    has at least one real solution.

    Problem 4. Circles Γ1 and Γ2 centred at O1 and O2 , respectively, intersect at points A and B.


    Suppose that the circle Γ3 through O1 , O2 and A intersects Γ1 at C and Γ2 at D, and that the arc
    CD of Γ3 which does not contain A, lies outside Γ1 and Γ2 .
    Prove that AB bisects the arc CD which does not contain A.

    Problem 5. Determine all real valued functions f defined on the real numbers for which the
    following identity is satisfied for all real numbers x and y.

    f (f (x + y)f (x − y)) = x2 − yf (y)

    Problem 6. Let D be a point on side AC of triangle ABC. Let I1 and I2 be the incentres of
    triangles ABD and BCD, respectively. The circle through BI1 I2 intersects sides BA and BC at X
    and Y , respectively.
    Show that AX + CD = CY + AD.
