1Determine the remainder left by the polynomial \[ x^{2008} - x^{2007} - 3x + 4 \] on division by the polynomial \((x - 1)^{3}\).Open2A circle can be inscribed in the trapezoid \(ABCD\), whose parallel sides are \(AB\) and \(CD\). Prove that the circle having \(BC\) as a diameter and the circle having \(AD\) as a diameter touch each …3The capital of a certain country is joined by a direct air route to each of the other \(2012\) cities. Moreover, every one of those \(2012\) cities is joined by an air route to at least one city other …4An operation \(\diamond\) on the set \(G = \{1, 2, 3, \dots, 2016\}\) is given by the table \[ \begin{array}{c|cccccc} \diamond & 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & \cdots & 2016 \\ \hline 1 & 5 & 5 & 5 & 5 & \cdots & 5 \\ 2 & 1 & 2 & 5 & 5 & \cdots & 5 \\ 3 & 4 & 3 & 5 & 5 & \cdots & 5 \\ 4 & 5 & 5 & 5 & 5 & \cdots & 5 \\ \vdots & \vdots & \vdots & \vdots & \vdots & \ddots & \vdots \\ 2016 & 5 & 5 & 5 & 5 & \cdots & 5 \end{array} \] …5Let \(a\), \(b\) and \(c\) be positive real numbers with \(a + b + c = 3\). Prove that \[ \frac{1}{\sqrt{a^2 + ab + bc}} + \frac{1}{\sqrt{b^2 + bc + ca}} + \frac{1}{\sqrt{c^2 + ca + ab}} \geq \sqrt{3} . \] …6Let \[ P(x) = a_n x^n + \dots + a_1 x + a_0 \] be a polynomial with integer coefficients. Suppose that \(P\) has two distinct integer zeros, neither of which is positive (\(P\) may have further zeros besides …7Find every three-digit number \(\overline{abc}\) whose digits \(a\), \(b\), \(c\) are all nonzero and which satisfies \[ \overline{abc} = 3 \cdot a! + 2 \cdot b! + c! . \] Here \(\overline{abc}\) is the …8Each of the numbers \(x_1, x_2, \ldots, x_{2023}\) belongs to the set \(\{-1, 0, 1, 2\}\), and together they satisfy \[ x_1 + x_2 + \cdots + x_{2023} = 111, \qquad x_1^2 + x_2^2 + \cdots + x_{2023}^2 = 999 . \] …
