Problem 1

The numbers $2,3,7$ have the property that the product of any two of them increased by $1$ is divisible by the third number. Prove that this triple of integer numbers greater than $1$ is the only triple with the given property.

Problem 2

Prove the inequality: $$(1+\sin^2\alpha)^n+(1+\cos^2\alpha)^n\ge2\left(\frac32\right)^n$$is true for every natural number $n$. When does equality hold?

Problem 3

In the triangle $ABC$, angle bisector $CD$ intersects the circumcircle of $ABC$ at the point $K$. (a) Prove the equalities: $$\frac1{ID}-\frac1{IK}=\frac1{CI},\enspace\frac{CI}{ID}-\frac{ID}{DK}=1$$where $I$ is the center of the inscribed circle of triangle $ABC$. (b) On the segment $CK$ some point $P$ is chosen whose projections on $AC,BC,AB$ respectively are $P_1,P_2,P_3$. The lines $PP_3$ and $P_1P_2$ intersect at a point $M$. Find the locus of $M$ when $P$ moves around segment $CK$.

Problem 4

In the space there are given crossed lines $s$ and $t$ such that $\angle(s,t)=60^\circ$ and a segment $AB$ perpendicular to them. On $AB$ it is chosen a point $C$ for which $AC:CB=2:1$ and the points $M$ and $N$ are moving on the lines $s$ and $t$ in such a way that $AM=2BN$. The angle between vectors $\overrightarrow{AM}$ and $\overrightarrow{BM}$ is $60^\circ$. Prove that: (a) the segment $MN$ is perpendicular to $t$; (b) the plane $\alpha$, perpendicular to $AB$ in point $C$, intersects the plane $CMN$ on fixed line $\ell$ with given direction in respect to $s$; (c) all planes passing by $ell$ and perpendicular to $AB$ intersect the lines $s$ and $t$ respectively at points $M$ and $N$ for which $AM=2BN$ and $MN\perp t$.
