Let $a_1, a_2, \cdots , a_n$ and $b_1, b_2,\cdots, b_n$ be nonnegative real numbers. Show that \[(a_1a_2 \cdots a_n)^{1/n}+ (b_1b_2 \cdots b_n)^{1/n} \le ((a_1 + b_1)(a_2 + b_2) \cdots (a_n + b_n))^{1/n}\]
$(BUL 5)$ Let $Z$ be a set of points in the plane. Suppose that there exists a pair of points that cannot be joined by a polygonal line not passing through any point of $Z.$ Let us call such a pair of points unjoinable. Prove that for each real $r > 0$ there exists an unjoinable pair of points separated by distance $r.$
Let $a_1, a_2, ..., a_n$ be more than one real numbers, such that $0\leq a_i\leq \frac{\pi}{2}$. Prove that
$$\Bigg(\frac{1}{n}\sum_{i=1}^{n}\frac{1}{1+\sin a_i}\Bigg)\Bigg(1+\prod_{i=1}^{n}(\sin a_i)^{\frac{1}{n}}\Bigg)\leq1.$$
Fix positive integers $n$ and $k$, and $2n$ positive (not neccesarily distinct) real numbers $a_1,\cdots, a_n$, $b_1, \cdots, b_n$. An equation is written on a whiteboard: $$t=*\times*\times\cdots\times*$$ where $t$ is a fixed positive real number, with exactly $k$ asterisks.
Ebi fills each asterisk with a number from $a_1, a_2,\cdots, a_n$, while Rubi fills each asterisk with a number from $b_1, b_2,\cdots, b_n$, so that the equation on the whiteboard is correct. Suppose for every positive real number $t$, the number of ways for Ebi and Rubi to do so are equal.
Prove that the sequences $a_1,\cdots, a_n$ and $b_1, \cdots, b_n$ are permutations of each other.
[i](Note: $t=a_1a_2a_3$ and $t=a_2a_3a_1$ are considered different ways to fill the asterisks, and the chosen terms need not be distinct, for example $t=a_1a_1a_2$.)[/i]

[b]two variable ploynomial[/b]
$P(x,y)$ is a two variable polynomial with real coefficients. degree of a monomial means sum of the powers of $x$ and $y$ in it. we denote by $Q(x,y)$ sum of monomials with the most degree in $P(x,y)$.
(for example if $P(x,y)=3x^4y-2x^2y^3+5xy^2+x-5$ then $Q(x,y)=3x^4y-2x^2y^3$.)
suppose that there are real numbers $x_1$,$y_1$,$x_2$ and $y_2$ such that
$Q(x_1,y_1)>0$ , $Q(x_2,y_2)<0$
prove that the set $\{(x,y)|P(x,y)=0\}$ is not bounded.
(we call a set $S$ of plane bounded if there exist positive number $M$ such that the distance of elements of $S$ from the origin is less than $M$.)
