A convex polygon $ A_1,A_2,\cdots ,A_n$ is inscribed in a circle with center $ O$ and radius $ R$ so that $ O$ lies inside the polygon. Let the inradii of the triangles $ A_1A_2A_3, A_1A_3A_4, \cdots , A_1A_{n \minus{} 1}A_n$ be denoted by $ r_1,r_2,\cdots ,r_{n \minus{} 2}$. Prove that $ r_1 \plus{} r_2 \plus{} ... \plus{} r_{n \minus{} 2}\leq R(n\cos \frac {\pi}{n} \minus{} n \plus{} 2)$.

Let $a,b,c$ be real numbers. Consider the quadratic equation in $\cos{x}$ \[ a \cos^2{x}+b \cos{x}+c=0. \] Using the numbers $a,b,c$ form a quadratic equation in $\cos{2x}$ whose roots are the same as those of the original equation. Compare the equation in $\cos{x}$ and $\cos{2x}$ for $a=4$, $b=2$, $c=-1$.

Calculate the Gauss integral \[\oint\frac{(d\overrightarrow{A},d\overrightarrow{B},\overrightarrow{A}-\overrightarrow{B})}{|\overrightarrow{A}-\overrightarrow{B}|^3}\] where $\overrightarrow{A}$ runs along the curve $x=\cos\alpha$, $y=\sin\alpha$, $z=0$, and $\overrightarrow{B}$ along the curve $x=2\cos^2\beta$, $y=\frac12\sin\beta$, $z=\sin2\beta$. Note: that $\oint$ was supposed to be oiint (i.e. $\iint$ with a circle) but the command does not work on AoPS.
