1 Let ABCD be a cyclic quadrilateral which is not a trapezoid and whose diagonals meet at E . The midpoints of AB and CD are F and G respectively, and is the line through G parallel to AB . The feet of the perpendiculars from E onto the lines and CD are H and K , respectively. Prove that the lines EF and HK are perpendicular. 2 Given real numbers x, y, z such that x + y + z = 0, show that x(x + 2) y (y + 2) z (z + 2) + + 0 2x2 + 1 2y 2 + 1 2z 2 + 1 When does equality hold? 3 Let S be a nite set of positive integers which has the following property:if x is a member of S ,then so are all positive divisors of x. A non-empty subset T of S is good if whenever x, y T and x < y , the ratio y/x is a power of a prime number. A non-empty subset T of S is bad if whenever x, y T and x < y , the ratio y/x is not a power of a prime number. A set of an element is considered both good and bad. Let k be the largest possible size of a good subset of S . Prove that k is also the smallest number of pairwise-disjoint bad subsets whose union is S . 4 Let ABCDEF be a convex hexagon of area 1, whose opposite sides are parallel. The lines AB , CD and EF meet in pairs to determine the vertices of a triangle. Similarly, the lines BC , DE and F A meet in pairs to determine the vertices of another triangle. Show that the area of at least one of these two triangles is at least 3/2.
