Day 1
1 Let ABC be a triangle. Points D and E are on sides AB and AC, respectively, and point F
is on line segment DE. Let AD AE DF
AB = x, AC = y, DE = z. Prove that
(1) S4BDF = (1 − x)yS4ABC and S4CEF = x(1 − y)(1 − z)S4ABC ;
p p p
(2) 3 S4BDF + 3 S4CEF ≤ 3 S4ABC .
2 There are 47 students in a classroom with seats arranged in 6 rows × 8 columns, and the seat
in the i-th row and j-th column is denoted by (i, j). Now, an adjustment is made for students
seats in the new school term. For a student with the original seat (i, j), if his/her new seat
is (m, n), we say that the student is moved by [a, b] = [i − m, j − n] and define the position
value of the student as a + b. Let S denote the sum of the position values of all the students.
Determine the difference between the greatest and smallest possible values of S.
3 As shown in the figure, quadrilateral ABCD is inscribed in a circle with AC as its diameter,
BD ⊥ AC, and E the intersection of AC and BD. Extend line segment DA and BA through
A to F and G respectively, such that DG k BF. Extend GF to H such that CH ⊥ GH.
Prove that points B, E, F and H lie on one circle.
4 (1) Prove that there exist five nonnegative real numbers a, b, c, d and e with their sum equal
to 1 such that for any arrangement of these numbers around a circle, there are always two
neighboring numbers with their product not less than 19 .
(2) Prove that for any five nonnegative real numbers with their sum equal to 1 , it is always
possible to arrange them around a circle such that there are two neighboring numbers with
their product not greater than 91 .
