Let $\alpha \in (1, +\infty)$ be a real number, and let $P(x) \in \mathbb{R}[x]$ be a monic polynomial with degree $24$, such that
(i) $P(0) = 1$.
(ii) $P(x)$ has exactly $24$ positive real roots that are all less than or equal to $\alpha$.

Given an integer $n > 2$, consider all sequences $x_1,x_2,...,x_n$ of nonnegative real numbers such that $$x_1+ 2x_2 + ... + nx_n = 1.$$ Find the maximum value and the minimum value of $x_1^2+x_2^2+...+x_n^2$ and determine all the sequences $x_1,x_2,...,x_n$ for which these values are obtained.
Two lines, $l_1$ and $l_2$, are tangent to the parabola $x^2-4(x+y)+y^2=2xy+8$ such that they intersect at a point whose coordinates sum to $-32$. The minimum possible sum of the slopes of $l_1$ and $l_2$ can be written as $\frac{m}{n}$ for relatively prime integers $m$ and $n$. Find $m+n$.

Let $G$ be a finite simple graph and let $k$ be the largest number of vertices of any clique in $G$. Suppose that we label each vertex of $G$ with a non-negative real number, so that the sum of all such labels is $1$. Define the [i]value of an edge[/i] to be the product of the labels of the two vertices at its ends. Define the [i]value of a labelling[/i] to be the sum of values of the edges.
Prove that the maximum possible value of a labelling of $G$ is $\frac{k-1}{2k}$.
(A [i]finite simple graph[/i] is a graph with finitely many vertices, in which each edge connects two distinct vertices and no two edges connect the same two vertices. A [i]clique[/i] in a graph is a set of vertices in which any two are connected by an edge.)

$$x + y + z \ge \frac{2}{d}\sqrt{(a + d)(b + d)(c + d)}.$$

Two masses are connected with spring constant $k$. The masses have magnitudes $m$ and $M$. The center-of-mass of the system is fixed. If $ k = \text {100 N/m} $ and $m=\dfrac{1}{2}M=\text{1 kg}$, let the ground state energy of the system be $E$. If $E$ can be expressed in the form $ a \times 10^p $ eV (electron-volts), find the ordered pair $(a,p)$, where $ 0 < a < 10 $, and it is rounded to the nearest positive integer and $p$ is an integer. For example, $ 4.2 \times 10^7 $ should be expressed as $(4,7)$.
