Grades 10-12

1

The combination to open a safe is a five-digit number. different, randomly selected from $2$ to $9$. To open the box strong, you also need a key that is labeled with the number $410639104$, which is the sum of all combinations that do not open the box. What is the combination that opens the safe?

Nestor ordered Juan to do the following work: draw a circle, draw one of its diameters and mark the extreme points of the diameter with the numbers 1 and 2 respectively. Place 100 points in each of the semicircles that determines the diameter layout (different from the ends of the diameter) and mark these points randomly with the numbers $1$ and $2$. To finish, paint red all small segments that have different markings on their extremes. After a certain amount of time passed, Juan finished the work and told Nestor that “he painted 47 segments red.” Prove that if Juan made no mistakes, what he said is false.

A rectangle with sides $ n$ and $p$ is divided into $np$ unit squares. Initially there are m unitary squares painted black and the remaining painted white. The following processoccurs repeatedly: if a unit square painted white has at minus two sides in common with squares painted black then Its color also turns black. Find the smallest integer $m$ that satisfies the property: there exists an initial position of $m$ black unit squares such that the entire $ n \times p$ rectangle is painted black when repeat the process a finite number of times.

Day 2

Grade 10

1

Determine all the integers $a$ and $b$, such that $\sqrt{2010 + 2 \sqrt{2009}}$ be a solution of the equation $x^2 + ax + b = 0$. Prove that for such $a$ and $b$ the number$\sqrt{2010 - 2 \sqrt{2009}}$ is not a solution to the given equation.

2

Let $n = (p^2 +2)^2 -9(p^2 -7)$ where $p$ is a prime number. Determine the smallest value of the sum of the digits of $n$ and for what prime number $p$ is obtained.

3

Let $ABC$ be a right triangle at $B$. Let $D$ be a point such that $BD\perp AC$ and $DC = AC$. Find the ratio $\frac{AD}{AB}$.

Grade 11

4

Prove that for all positive real numbers $x, y$ holds the inequality $$x^4 + y^3 + x^2 + y + 1 > \frac92 xy.$$

5

Let $p\ge 2$ be a prime number and $a\ge 1$ be an integer different from $p$. Find all pairs $(a, p)$ such that $a + p | a^2 + p^2$.

6

Let $ABC$ be an acute triangle (with $AB \ne AC$) and $M$ be the midpoint of $BC$. The circle of diameter $AM$ cuts $AC$ at $N$ and $BC$ again at $H$. A point $K$ is taken on $AC$ (between $A$ and $N$) such that $CN = NK$. Segments $AH$ and $BK$ intersect at $L$. The circle that passes through $A$,$K$ and $L$ cuts $AB$ at $P$. Prove that $C$,$L$ and $P$ are collinear.

Grade 12

7

Let $x, y, z$ be positive real numbers such that $xyz = 1$. Prove that: $$\frac{x^3 + y^3}{x^2 + xy + y^2} +\frac{ y^3 + z^3}{y^2 + yz + z^2} + \frac{z^3 + x^3}{z^2 + zx + x^2} \ge 2.$$

8

Let $ABCDE$ be a convex pentagon that has $AB < BC$, $AE <ED$ and $AB + CD + EA = BC + DE$. Variable points $F,G$ and $H$ are taken that move on the segments $BC$, $CD$ and $OF$ respectively . $B'$ is defined as the projection of $B$ on $AF$, $C'$ as the projection of $C$ on $FG$, $D'$ as the projection of $D$ on $GH$ and $E'$ as the projection of $E$ onto $HA$. Prove that there is at least one quadrilateral $B'C'D'E'$ when $F,G$ and $H$ move on their sides, which is a parallelogram.

9

Let $A$ be the subset of the natural numbers such that the sum of Its digits are multiples of$ 2009$. Find $x, y \in A$ such that $y - x > 0$ is minimum and $x$ is also minimum.
