Let $ ABC $ be a triangle and the point $ D $ is on the segment $ BC $ such that $ AD $ is the interior bisector of $ \angle A $. We stretch $ AD $ such that it meets the circumcircle of $ \Delta ABC $ at $ M $. We draw a line from $ D $ such that it meets the lines $ MB,MC $ at $ P,Q $, respectively ($ M $ is not between $ B,P $ and also is not between $ C,Q $). Prove that $ \angle PAQ\geq\angle BAC $.

A particle moves in $3$-space according to the equations: $$ \frac{dx}{dt} =yz,\; \frac{dy}{dt} =xz,\; \frac{dz}{dt}= xy.$$ Show that: (a) If two of $x(0), y(0), z(0)$ equal $0,$ then the particle never moves. (b) If $x(0)=y(0)=1, z(0)=0,$ then the solution is $$ x(t)= \sec t ,\; y(t) =\sec t ,\; z(t)= \tan t;$$ whereas if $x(0)=y(0)=1, z(0)=-1,$ then $$ x(t) =\frac{1}{t+1} ,\; y(t)=\frac{1}{t+1}, z(t)=- \frac{1}{t+1}.$$ (c) If at least two of the values $x(0), y(0), z(0)$ are different from zero, then either the particle moves to infinity at some finite time in the future, or it came from infinity at some finite time in the past (a point $(x, y, z)$ in $3$-space "moves to infinity" if its distance from the origin approaches infinity).
