    3x+1
    1. Find the product of the minimum and maximum values of the function f (x) = 9x2 +6x+2 .

    2. Let f (n) = 9n5 − 5n3 − 4n. Find the greatest common divisor of f (17), f (18), . . . , f (2009).
    3. Given a polynomial p(x) with integer coefficients, let

    p(x)
    q(x) =
    x(1 − x)
     
    1
    If q(x) = q 1−x for every x ̸= 0, and p(2) = −7, p(3) = −11, find p(10).

    4. Suppose x9 = 1 but x3 ̸= 1. Find a polynomial of minimal degree equal to 1+x .
    √ √ √
    5. Given that P (x) is the least degree polynomial with rational coefficients such that P ( 2 + 3) = 2,
    find P (10).

    6. Find the number of functions f : Z → Z for which f (h + k) + f (hk) = f (h)f (k) + 1 for all h, k ∈ Z.
    7. Let ABC be a triangle inscribed in circle ω. Let the tangents to ω at B and C intersect at point D, and
    let AD intersect ω at P . If AB = 5, BC = 9, and AC = 10, AP can be written as the form m n , where m
    and n are relatively prime integers. Find m + n.

    the number of ways of passing the ball starting with Amit and reaching Amit again on the 7th pass.
    9. Find the sum of all integers x for which there is an integer y, such that x3 − y 3 = xy + 61.
    10. Find the number of ordered pairs (a, b) of positive integers that are solutions of the following equation:

    a2 + b2 = ab(a + b).
