For positive integers $n$ and $k \geq 2$, define $E_k(n)$ as the greatest exponent $r$ such that $k^r$ divides $n!$. Prove that there are infinitely many $n$ such that $E_{10}(n) > E_9(n)$ and infinitely many $m$ such that $E_{10}(m) < E_9(m)$.

Let $ABC$ be an acute, non isosceles with $I$ is its incenter. Denote $D, E$ as tangent points of $(I)$ on $AB,AC$, respectively. The median segments respect to vertex $A$ of triangles $ABE$ and $ACD$ meet$ (I)$ at$ P,Q,$ respectively. Take points $M, N$ on the line $DE$ such that $AM \parallel BE$ and $AN \parallel C D$ respectively. a) Prove that $A$ lies on the radical axis of $(MIP)$ and $(NIQ)$. b) Suppose that the orthocenter $H$ of triangle $ABC$ lies on $(I)$. Prove that there exists a line which is tangent to three circles of center $A, B, C$ and all pass through $H$.
