In trapezoid \(ABCD\), the bases are \(BC=3\text{ cm}\), \(DA=6\text{ cm}\), with \(AD\parallel BC\). The segment \(EF\), where \(E\in AB,F\in CD,EF\parallel AD\), passes through \(M=AC\cap BD\). Find its length.
For \(n=2,3,\ldots\), put \(A_n=\left(1-\dfrac1{1+2}\right)\left(1-\dfrac1{1+2+3}\right)\cdots\left(1-\dfrac1{1+2+\cdots+n}\right)\). Determine all integers \(n\ge2\) for which \(1/A_n\) is an integer.
Let \(P\) be the common point of the three internal bisectors of triangle \(ABC\). The line through \(P\) perpendicular to \(CP\) meets \(AC,BC\) at \(M,N\), respectively. If \(AP=3\text{ cm}\), \(BP=4\text{ cm}\), compute \(AM/BN\).
The equation \(x^3+px^2+qx+r=0\) has three real roots \(x_1,x_2,x_3\), where \(p,q,r\) are integers. Put \(S_n=x_1^n+x_2^n+x_3^n\) for \(n=1,2,\ldots\). Prove that \(S_{2012}\) is an integer.
In an isosceles triangle \(ABC\) with base \(AB\), let \(M\in BC\). Let \(O\) be its circumcenter and \(S\) its incenter. If \(SM\parallel AC\), prove that \(OM\perp BS\).
A cube of side \(3\text{ cm}\) is painted red and cut into \(3\times3\times3=27\) cubes of side \(1\text{ cm}\). Let \(a,b,c,d\) be the numbers of small cubes with respectively zero, one, two and three painted faces. Determine \(a-b-c+d\).
