    1. The system of equations √1x4 + 2y3 − x = −4 +3√3 and √y4 + 2x3 − y = −1 −3√3 has a single solution of (x, y) = (−1−√2/2, 2). 2. For any nonzero integer a, there exists a nonzero integer b such that the equation ax2 − (a2 + b)x + b = 0 has integer roots. 3. The sum 1/a1 + 1/a2 + ... + 1/a20 is an integer.

    1 2 2 2 Solution: Adding we get x4 + y 4 + 2y 3 + 2x3 x y = 2 (x2 + x 1 +y 1 = 0. Thus 2 ) + (y 2) 1+ 3 1 3 1 3 1+ 3 1 1 2 2 x + x 2 = 0 and y + y 2 = 0. Since x = y , (x, y ) = ( 2 , 2 ), ( 2 , 2 ). Testing 3 1+ 3 both gives that only (x, y ) = ( 1 , 2 ) satises the system. 2

    J2 Prove that for each nonzero integer a there is a nonzero integer b such that the equation ax2 (a2 + b)x + b = 0 has integer roots. Laurentiu Panaitopol Solution: For all a = 1, b = a + 1 satises the conditions since ax2 (a2 + a + 1)x + a + 1 = (ax 1)(x (a + 1)). For a = 1, b = 6 satises the conditions since x2 5x 6 = (x + 2)(x + 3). Thus the property holds for all nonzero a. J3 Let an = Prove that

    J6 Let ABCD be a convex quadrilateral such that sides BC and CD have equal lengths and 2 A + C = 180 . Let M be the midpoint of the segment BD. Prove that M AD = BAC . Dinu Serbanescu Solution: CDB = CBD = (180)/2 = A. Let be the circumcircle of ABD with center O. Let the tangents to at B and D intersect at C . Since C DB = CDB and C BD = CBD, C = C . Let AM intersect again at X . Let segment OC intersect at Y . Let AC intersect again at Z . Since OBCD and ABXY are cyclic, M C M O = BM M D = M X M A. Thus ACXO is cyclic by the power of a point theorem. Thus ZAX = Y OX = 2 Y AX . Thus ZAY = Y AX . Since BAY = Y AD, then BAY ZAY = Y AD Y AX BAZ = XAD BAC = M AD.
