The monic polynomial $f$ has rational coefficients and is irreducible over the rational numbers. If $f(\sqrt5 +\sqrt2)= 0$, compute $f(f(\sqrt5 -\sqrt2))$. (A polynomial is [i]monic [/i] if its leading coeffi cient is $1$. A polynomial is [i]irreducible [/i] over the rational numbers if it cannot be expressed as a product of two polynomials with rational coefficients of positive degree. For example, $x^2 - 2$ is irreducible, but $x^2 - 1 = (x + 1)(x - 1)$ is not.)

In each vertex of a regular $n$-gon, there is a fortress. At the same moment, each fortress shoots one of the two nearest fortresses and hits it. The [i]result of the shooting[/i] is the set of the hit fortresses; we do not distinguish whether a fortress was hit once or twice. Let $P(n)$ be the number of possible results of the shooting. Prove that for every positive integer $k\geqslant 3$, $P(k)$ and $P(k+1)$ are relatively prime.

A four-term sequence is formed by adding each term of a four-term arithmetic sequence of positive integers to the corresponding term of a four-term geometric sequence of positive integers. The first three terms of the resulting four-term sequence are 57, 60, and 91. What is the fourth term of this sequence?

Let $\mathcal L$ be the set of all lines in the plane and let $f$ be a function that assigns to each line $\ell\in\mathcal L$ a point $f(\ell)$ on $\ell$. Suppose that for any point $X$, and for any three lines $\ell_1,\ell_2,\ell_3$ passing through $X$, the points $f(\ell_1),f(\ell_2),f(\ell_3)$, and $X$ lie on a circle.
Prove that there is a unique point $P$ such that $f(\ell)=P$ for any line $\ell$ passing through $P$.

Prove the inequality

\left( a_{1}+a_{2}+...+a_{k}\right) ^{2}\leq k\left(
a_{1}^{2}+a_{2}^{2}+...+a_{k}^{2}\right) , $
where $k\geq 1$ is a natural number and $a_{1},$ $a_{2},$ $...,$ $a_{k}$ are arbitrary real numbers.
[b]b.)[/b] Using the inequality (1), show that if the real numbers $a_{1},$ $a_{2},$ $...,$ $a_{n}$ satisfy the inequality
\[

A clue “$k$ digits, sum is $n$” gives a number k and the sum of $k$ distinct, nonzero digits. An answer for that clue consists of $k$ digits with sum $n$. For example, the clue “Three digits, sum is $23$” has only one answer: $6,8,9$. The clue “Three digits, sum is $8$” has two answers: $1,3,4$ and $1,2,5$.
If the clue “Four digits, sum is $n$” has the largest number of answers for any four-digit clue, then what is the value of $n$? How many answers does this clue have? Explain why no other four-digit clue can have more answers.
