Let $P_1$ and $P_2$ be regular polygons of 1985 sides and perimeters $x$ and $y$ respectively. Each side of $P_1$ is tangent to a given circle of circumference $c$ and this circle passes through each vertex of $P_2$. Prove $x + y \ge 2c$. (You may assume that $\tan \theta \ge \theta$ for $0 \le \theta < \frac{\pi}{2}$.)

Do either (1) or (2):
(1) Show that any solution $f(t)$ of the functional equation
$$f(x+y)f(x-y)=f(x)^{2} +f(y)^{2} -1$$
for $x,y\in \mathbb{R}$ satisfies
$$f''(t)= \pm c^{2} f(t)$$
for a constant $c$, assuming the existence and continuity of the second derivative.
Deduce that $f(t)$ is one of the functions
$$ \pm \cos ct, \;\;\; \pm \cosh ct.$$
(2) Let $(a_{i})_{i=1,...,n}$ and $(b_{i})_{i=1,...,n}$ be real numbers. Define an $(n+1)\times (n+1)$-matrix $A=(c_{ij})$ by
$$ c_{i1}=1, \; \; c_{1j}= x^{j-1} \; \text{for} \; j\leq n,\; \; c_{1n+1}=p(x), \;\; c_{ij}=a_{i-1}^{j-1} \; \text{for}\; i>1, j\leq n,\;\;
c_{in+1}=b_{i-1}\; \text{for}\; i>1.$$
The polynomial $p(x)$ is defined by the equation $\det A=0$. Let $f$ be a polynomial and replace $(b_{i})$ with $(f(b_{i}))$. Then $\det A=0$ defines another polynomial $q(x)$. Prove that $f(p(x))-q(x)$ is a multiple of
$$\prod_{i=1}^{n} (x-a_{i}).$$

A rectangular piece of of paper measures 4 units by 5 units. Several lines are drawn parallel to the edges of the paper. A rectangle determined by the intersections of some of these lines is called [i]basic [/i]if
(i) all four sides of the rectangle are segments of drawn line segments, and
(ii) no segments of drawn lines lie inside the rectangle.
Given that the total length of all lines drawn is exactly 2007 units, let $N$ be the maximum possible number of basic rectangles determined. Find the remainder when $N$ is divided by 1000.
