On a cartesian plane a parabola $y = x^2$ is drawn. For a given $k > 0$ we consider all trapezoids inscribed into this parabola with bases parallel to the x-axis, and the product of the lengths of their bases is exactly $k$. Prove that the lateral sides of all such trapezoids share a common point.
Each integer coordinates are colored with one color and at least 5 colors are used to color every integer coordinates. Two integer coordinates $(x, y)$ and $(z, w)$ are colored in the same color if $x-z$ and $y-w$ are both multiples of 3. Prove that there exists a line that passes through exactly three points when five points with different colors are chosen randomly.
Points $D,E,F$ are on the sides $BC, CA$ and $AB$, respectively which satisfy $EF || BC$, $D_1$ is a point on $BC,$ Make $D_1E_1 || D_E, D_1F_1 || DF$ which intersect $AC$ and $AB$ at $E_1$ and $F_1$, respectively.

Let $R$, $S$, and $T$ be squares that have vertices at lattice points (i.e., points whose coordinates are both integers) in the coordinate plane, together with their interiors. The bottom edge of each square is on the x-axis. The left edge of $R$ and the right edge of $S$ are on the $y$-axis, and $R$ contains $\frac{9}{4}$ as many lattice points as does $S$. The top two vertices of $T$ are in $R \cup S$, and $T$ contains $\frac{1}{4}$ of the lattice points contained in $R \cup S$. See the figure (not drawn to scale).
