The document contains 12 math problems, with 4 objective multiple choice questions followed by 8 subjective proof questions. The objective questions cover topics like the product and sum of positive numbers, properties of positive real numbers, trigonometric functions, and inequalities. The subjective questions involve proving inequalities for positive variables like proving (1/x - 1)(1/y - 1)(1/z - 1) ≥ 8 if x + y + z = 1. The answer key provides the solutions to the objective questions but not the subjective proof questions.
