For what natural numbers \(a\) and \(b\) is the number \(\log_{a} b\) rational?
Prove that for \(x \ne \pi n\) (\(n\) is an integer) \(\sin x\) and \(\cos x\) are rational if and only if the number \(\tan x/2\) is rational.
A square grid on the plane and a triangle with vertices at the nodes of the grid are given. Prove that the tangent of any angle in the triangle is a rational number.
Prove that there is at most one point of an integer lattice on a circle with centre at \((\sqrt 2, \sqrt 3)\).
\(N\) points are given, no three of which lie on one line. Each two of these points are connected by a segment, and each segment is coloured in one of the \(k\) colours. Prove that if \(N > \lfloor k!e\rfloor\), then among these points one can choose three such that all sides of the triangle formed by them will be colored in one colour.
Is it possible to draw from some point on a plane \(n\) tangents to a polynomial of \(n\)-th power?
Prove that if \((p, q) = 1\) and \(p/q\) is a rational root of the polynomial \(P (x) = a_nx^n + \dots + a_1x + a_0\) with integer coefficients, then
a) \(a_0\) is divisible by \(p\);
b) \(a_n\) is divisible by \(q\).
Derive from the theorem in question 61013 that \(\sqrt{17}\) is an irrational number.
Prove that the root a of the polynomial \(P (x)\) has multiplicity greater than 1 if and only if \(P (a) = 0\) and \(P '(a) = 0\).
For a given polynomial \(P (x)\) we describe a method that allows us to construct a polynomial \(R (x)\) that has the same roots as \(P (x)\), but all multiplicities of 1. Set \(Q (x) = (P(x), P'(x))\) and \(R (x) = P (x) Q^{-1} (x)\). Prove that
a) all the roots of the polynomial \(P (x)\) are the roots of \(R (x)\);
b) the polynomial \(R (x)\) has no multiple roots.
