Let $ABC$ be a triangle with $AB \ne AC$. Let the angle bisector of $\angle BAC$ intersects $BC$ at $P$ and intersects the perpendicular bisector of segment $BC$ at $Q$. Prove that $\frac{PQ}{AQ} =\left( \frac{BC}{AB + AC}\right)^2$

Suppose that $X$ is a set with $n$ elements and $\mathcal F\subseteq X^{(k)}$ and $X_1,X_2,...,X_s$ is a partition of $X$. We know that for every $A,B\in \mathcal F$ and every $1\le j\le s$, $E=B\cap (\bigcup_{i=1}^{j}X_i)\neq A\cap (\bigcup_{i=1}^{j} X_i)=F$ shows that none of $E,F$ contains the other one. Prove that \[|\mathcal F|\le \max_{\sum\limits_{i=1}^{S}w_i=k}\prod_{j=1}^{s}\binom{|X_j|}{w_j}\] (15 points) Exam time was 5 hours and 20 minutes.

[b]p1.[/b] Zion, RJ, Cam, and Tre decide to start learning languages. The four most popular languages that Duke offers are Spanish, French, Latin, and Korean. If each friend wants to learn exactly three of these four languages, how many ways can they pick courses such that they all attend at least one course together? [b]p2. [/b] Suppose we wrote the integers between $0001$ and $2019$ on a blackboard as such: $$000100020003 · · · 20182019.$$ How many $0$’s did we write? [b]p3.[/b] Duke’s basketball team has made $x$ three-pointers, $y$ two-pointers, and $z$ one-point free throws, where $x, y, z$ are whole numbers. Given that $3|x$, $5|y$, and $7|z$, find the greatest number of points that Duke’s basketball team could not have scored. [b]p4.[/b] Find the minimum value of $x^2 + 2xy + 3y^2 + 4x + 8y + 12$, given that $x$ and $y$ are real numbers. Note: calculus is not required to solve this problem. [b]p5.[/b] Circles $C_1, C_2$ have radii $1, 2$ and are centered at $O_1, O_2$, respectively. They intersect at points $ A$ and $ B$, and convex quadrilateral $O_1AO_2B$ is cyclic. Find the length of $AB$. Express your answer as $x/\sqrt{y}$ , where $x, y$ are integers and $y$ is square-free. [b]p6.[/b] An infinite geometric sequence $\{a_n\}$ has sum $\sum_{n=0}^{\infty} a_n = 3$. Compute the maximum possible value of the sum $\sum_{n=0}^{\infty} a_{3n} $. [b]p7.[/b] Let there be a sequence of numbers $x_1, x_2, x_3,...$ such that for all $i$, $$x_i = \frac{49}{7^{\frac{i}{1010}} + 49}.$$ Find the largest value of $n$ such that $$\left\lfloor \sum_{i=1}{n} x_i \right\rfloor \le 2019.$$ [b]p8.[/b] Let $X$ be a $9$-digit integer that includes all the digits $1$ through $9$ exactly once, such that any $2$-digit number formed from adjacent digits of $X$ is divisible by $7$ or $13$. Find all possible values of $X$. [b]p9.[/b] Two $2025$-digit numbers, $428\underbrace{\hbox{99... 99}}_{\hbox{2019 \,\, 9's}}571$ and $571\underbrace{\hbox{99... 99}}_{\hbox{2019 \,\, 9's}}428$ , form the legs of a right triangle. Find the sum of the digits in the hypotenuse. [b]p10.[/b] Suppose that the side lengths of $\vartriangle ABC$ are positive integers and the perimeter of the triangle is $35$. Let $G$ the centroid and $I$ be the incenter of the triangle. Given that $\angle GIC = 90^o$ , what is the length of $AB$? PS. You should use hide for answers.

Dave has a pile of fair standard six-sided dice. In round one, Dave selects eight of the dice and rolls them. He calculates the sum of the numbers face up on those dice to get $r_1$. In round two, Dave selects $r_1$ dice and rolls them. He calculates the sum of the numbers face up on those dice to get $r_2$. In round three, Dave selects $r_2$ dice and rolls them. He calculates the sum of the numbers face up on those dice to get $r_3$. Find the expected value of $r_3$.

Determine if for all natural $n$ there is a $n \times n$ matrix of real entries such that its determinant is 0 and that changing any entry produce another matrix with nonzero determinant.

Given $s,t$ are non-zero integers, $(x,y) $ is an integer pair , A transformation is to change pair $(x,y)$ into pair $(x+t,y-s)$ . If the two integers in a certain pair becoems relatively prime after several tranfomations , then we call the original integer pair "a good pair" . (1) Is $(s,t)$ a good pair ? (2) Prove :for any $s$ and $t$ , there exists pair $(x,y)$ which is " a good pair".
