Consider the polynomials \[f(x) =\sum_{k=1}^{n}a_{k}x^{k}\quad\text{and}\quad g(x) =\sum_{k=1}^{n}\frac{a_{k}}{2^{k}-1}x^{k},\] where $a_{1},a_{2},\ldots,a_{n}$ are real numbers and $n$ is a positive integer. Show that if 1 and $2^{n+1}$ are zeros of $g$ then $f$ has a positive zero less than $2^{n}$.

In triangle $ABC$, let $P$ and $R$ be the feet of the perpendiculars from $A$ onto the external and internal bisectors of $\angle ABC$, respectively; and let $Q$ and $S$ be the feet of the perpendiculars from $A$ onto the internal and external bisectors of $\angle ACB$, respectively. If $PQ = 7, QR = 6$ and $RS = 8$, what is the area of triangle $ABC$?

Prove there exist two relatively prime polynomials $P(x),Q(x)$ having integer coefficients and a real number $u>0$ such that if for positive integers $a,b,c,d$ we have: $$|\frac{a}{c}-1|^{2021} \le \frac{u}{|d||c|^{1010}}$$ $$| (\frac{a}{c})^{2020}-\frac{b}{d}| \le \frac{u}{|d||c|^{1010}}$$ Then we have : $$bP(\frac{a}{c})=dQ(\frac{a}{c})$$ (Two polynomials are relatively prime if they don't have a common root) Proposed by [i]Navid Safaii[/i] and [i]Alireza Haghi[/i]

You have a $9 \times 9$ board with white squares. A tile can be moved from one square to another neighbor (tiles that share one side). If we paint some squares of black, we say that such coloration is [i]good [/i] if there is a white square where we can place a chip that moving through white squares can return to the initial square having passed through at least $3$ boxes, without passing the same square twice. Find the highest possible value of $k$ such that any form of painting $k$ squares of black are a [i]good [/i] coloring.

A soldier needs to check if there are any mines in the interior or on the sides of an equilateral triangle $ABC.$ His detector can detect a mine at a maximum distance equal to half the height of the triangle. The soldier leaves from one of the vertices of the triangle. Which is the minimum distance that he needs to traverse so that at the end of it he is sure that he completed successfully his mission?

How many permutations $\pi$ of $\left\{1,2,\ldots,7\right\}$ are there such that $\pi\left(k\right)\leq2k$ for $k=1,\ldots,7$? A permutation $\pi$ of a set $S$ is a function from $S$ to itself such that if $a\neq b$, then $\pi\left(a\right)\neq\pi\left(b\right)$. For example, $\pi\left(x\right)=x$ and $\pi\left(x\right)=8-x$ are permutations of $\left\{1,2,\ldots,7\right\}$ but $\pi\left(x\right)=1$ is not. [i]2019 CCA Math Bonanza Individual Round #7[/i]

1984 Tournament Of Towns, (074) 5

On the Island of Camelot live $13$ grey, $15$ brown and $17$ crimson chameleons . If two chameleons of different colours meet , they both simultaneously change colour to the third colour (e .g . if a grey and brown chameleon meet each other they both change to crimson) . Is it possible that they will eventually all be the same colour? (V . G . Ilichev)

Problems 17, 18, and 19 refer to the following: At Central Middle School the 108 students who take the AMC8 meet in the evening to talk about problems and eat an average of two cookies apiece. Walter and Gretel are baking Bonnie's Best Bar Cookies this year. Their recipe, which makes a pan of 15 cookies, lists this items: 1.5 cups flour, 2 eggs, 3 tablespoons butter, 3/4 cups sugar, and 1 package of chocolate drops. They will make only full recipes, not partial recipes. The drummer gets sick. The concert is cancelled. Walter and Gretel must make enough pans of cookies to supply 216 cookies. There are 8 tablespoons in a stick of butter. How many sticks of butter will be needed? (Some butter may be left over, of course.) $ \text{(A)}\ 5\qquad\text{(B)}\ 6\qquad\text{(C)}\ 7\qquad\text{(D)}\ 8\qquad\text{(E)}\ 9 $
