Let $\mathbb{R}$ be the set of real numbers. Let $f:\mathbb{R}\rightarrow\mathbb{R}$ be a function such that \[f(x+y)f(x-y)\geqslant f(x)^2-f(y)^2\] for every $x,y\in\mathbb{R}$. Assume that the inequality is strict for some $x_0,y_0\in\mathbb{R}$.
Prove that either $f(x)\geqslant 0$ for every $x\in\mathbb{R}$ or $f(x)\leqslant 0$ for every $x\in\mathbb{R}$.

We have $2022$ $1s$ written on a board in a line. We randomly choose a strictly increasing sequence from ${1, 2, . . . , 2022}$ such that the last term is $2022$. If the chosen sequence is $a_1, a_2, ..., a_k$ ($k$ is not fixed), then at the $i^{th}$ step, we choose the first a$_i$ numbers on the line and change the 1s to 0s and 0s to 1s. After $k$ steps are over, we calculate the sum of the numbers on the board, say $S$. The expected value of $S$ is $\frac{a}{b}$ where $a, b$ are relatively prime positive integers. Find $a + b.$
Imagine a regular a $2015$-gon with edge length $2$. At each vertex, draw a unit circle centered at that vertex and color the circle’s circumference orange. Now, another unit circle $S$ is placed inside the polygon such that it is externally tangent to two adjacent circles centered at the vertices. This circle $S$ is allowed to roll freely in the interior of the polygon as long as it remains externally tangent to the vertex circles. As it rolls, $S$ turns the color of any point it touches into black. After it rolls completely around the interior of the polygon, the total length of the black lengths can be expressed in the form $\tfrac{p\pi}{q}$ for positive integers $p, q$ satisfying $\gcd(p, q) = 1$. What is $p + q$?
Let $ABCD$ be a cyclic quadrilateral. The lines $BC$ and $AD$ meet at a point $P$. Let $Q$ be the point on the line $BP$, different from $B$, such that $PQ=BP$. Consider the parallelograms $CAQR$ and $DBCS$. Prove that the points $C,Q,R,S$ lie on a circle.
Let $ABC$ be an acute triangle with circumcircle $\Omega$. Let $B_0$ be the midpoint of $AC$ and let $C_0$ be the midpoint of $AB$. Let $D$ be the foot of the altitude from $A$ and let $G$ be the centroid of the triangle $ABC$. Let $\omega$ be a circle through $B_0$ and $C_0$ that is tangent to the circle $\Omega$ at a point $X\not= A$. Prove that the points $D,G$ and $X$ are collinear.

Problem 19 The diagram below shows a 24×24 square ABCD. Points E and F lie on sides AD and CD, respectively, so that DE = DF = 8. Set X consists of the shaded triangle ABC with its interior, while set Y consists of
the shaded triangle DEF with its interior. Set Z consists of all the points that are midpoints of segments
connecting a point in set X with a point in set Y . That is, Z = {z | z is the midpoint of xy for x ∈ X and y ∈ Y}. Find the area of the set Z.

Answer the following questions.
(1) For $x\geq 0$, show that $x-\frac{x^3}{6}\leq \sin x\leq x.$
(2) For $x\geq 0$, show that $\frac{x^3}{3}-\frac{x^5}{30}\leq \int_0^x t\sin t\ dt\leq \frac{x^3}{3}.$
(3) Find the limit
\[\lim_{x\rightarrow 0} \frac{\sin x-x\cos x}{x^3}.\]
Suppose $ABC$ is a triangle inscribed in circle $\omega$ . Let $A'$ be the point on $\omega$ so that $AA'$ is a diameter, and let $G$ be the centroid of $ABC$. Given that $AB = 13$, $BC = 14$, and $CA = 15$, let $x$ be the area of triangle $AGA'$ . If $x$ can be expressed in the form $m/n$ , where m and n are relatively prime positive integers, compute $100n + m$.
A bus takes $2$ minutes to drive from one stop to the next, and waits $1$ minute at each stop to let passengers board. Zia takes $5$ minutes to walk from one bus stop to the next. As Zia reaches a bus stop, if the bus is at the previous stop or has already left the previous stop, then she will wait for the bus. Otherwise she will start walking toward the next stop. Suppose the bus and Zia start at the same time toward the library, with the bus $3$ stops behind. After how many minutes will Zia board the bus?

Using one straight cut we partition a rectangular piece of paper into two pieces. We call this one "operation". Next, we cut one of the two pieces so obtained once again, to partition [i]this piece[/i] into two smaller pieces (i.e. we perform the operation on any [i]one[/i] of the pieces obtained). We continue this process, and so, after each operation we increase the number of pieces of paper by $1$. What is the minimum number of operations needed to get $47$ pieces of $46$-sided polygons? [obviously there will be other pieces too, but we will have at least $47$ (not necessarily [i]regular[/i]) $46$-gons.]
Let $ABC$ be a triangle. An interior point $P$ of $ABC$ is said to be [i]good [/i]if we can find exactly $27$ rays emanating from $P$ intersecting the sides of the triangle $ABC$ such that the triangle is divided by these rays into $27$ [i]smaller triangles of equal area.[/i] Determine the number of good points for a given triangle $ABC$.

Let $T$ be the point of intersection of $BC$ and $B_{1}C_{1}$. Let $P$ be the foot of the perpendicular from the point $L$ on the line $AT$. Prove that the points $A_{1}, M, Q, P$ lie on a circle.

A mathematical organization is producing a set of commemorative license plates. Each plate contains a sequence of five characters chosen from the four letters in AIME and the four digits in $2007$. No character may appear in a sequence more times than it appears among the four letters in AIME or the four digits in $2007$. A set of plates in which each possible sequence appears exactly once contains $N$ license plates. Find $\frac{N}{10}$.
Let $\, |U|, \, \sigma(U) \,$ and $\, \pi(U) \,$ denote the number of elements, the sum, and the product, respectively, of a finite set $\, U \,$ of positive integers. (If $\, U \,$ is the empty set, $\, |U| = 0, \, \sigma(U) = 0, \, \pi(U) = 1$.) Let $\, S \,$ be a finite set of positive integers. As usual, let $\, \binom{n}{k} \,$ denote $\, n! \over k! \, (n-k)!$. Prove that \[ \sum_{U \subseteq S} (-1)^{|U|} \binom{m - \sigma(U)}{|S|} = \pi(S) \] for all integers $\, m \geq \sigma(S)$.
Mica wrote a list of numbers using the following procedure. The first number is $1$, and then, at each step, he wrote the result of adding the previous number plus $3$. The first numbers on Mica's list are $$1, 4, 7, 10, 13, 16,\dots.$$ Next, Facu underlined all the numbers in Mica's list that are greater than $10$ and less than $100000,$ and that have all their digits the same. What are the numbers that Facu underlined?
Let ABCD be a parallelogram, E the midpoint of AD and F the projection of B on CE. Prove that the triangle ABF is isosceles.
If $w = a + bi$, where $a$ and $b$ are real numbers, then $\Re(w) = a$ and $\Im(w) = b$. Let $z=c+di$, where $c, d \ge 0$. If
\begin{align*}
\Re(z) + \Im (z) & = 7,
\\ \Re(z^2) + \Im(z^2) & = 17,
\end{align*}
then compute $\left | \Re\left (z^3 \right ) + \Im \left (z^3 \right ) \right |$.

Let $O$ be the circumcentre, and $\Omega$ be the circumcircle of an acute-angled triangle $ABC$. Let $P$ be an arbitrary point on $\Omega$, distinct from $A$, $B$, $C$, and their antipodes in $\Omega$. Denote the circumcentres of the triangles $AOP$, $BOP$, and $COP$ by $O_A$, $O_B$, and $O_C$, respectively. The lines $\ell_A$, $\ell_B$, $\ell_C$ perpendicular to $BC$, $CA$, and $AB$ pass through $O_A$, $O_B$, and $O_C$, respectively. Prove that the circumcircle of triangle formed by $\ell_A$, $\ell_B$, and $\ell_C$ is tangent to the line $OP$.
