The circles σ1 and σ2 intersect at points A and B. At the point A to σ1 and σ2, respectively, the tangents l1 and l2 are drawn. The points T1 and T2 are chosen respectively on the circles σ1 and σ2 so that the angular measures of the arcs T1A and AT2 are equal (the arc value of the circle is considered in the clockwise direction). The tangent t1 at the point T1 to the circle σ1 intersects l2 at the point M1. Similarly, the tangent t2 at the point T2 to the circle σ2 intersects l1 at the point M2. Prove that the midpoints of the segments M1M2 are on the same line, independent of the positions of the points T1,T2.

The quadratic trinomials f(x) and g(x) are such that f(x)g(x)|f(x)|+|g(x)| for all real x. Prove that the product f(x)g(x) is equal to the square of some trinomial.

When water is drained from a pool, the water level h in it varies depending on the time t according to the function h(t)=at2+bt+c, and at the time t0 of when the draining is ending, the equalities h(t0)=h(t0)=0 are satisfied. For how many hours does the pool drain completely, if in the first hour the water level in it is reduced by half?

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)Q1(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.

Prove that the following polynomial does not have any identical roots: P(x)=1+x+x2/2!++xn/n!

Prove that the polynomial x2nnxn+1+nxn11 for n>1 has a triple root of x=1.

Prove that for n>0 the polynomial nxn+1(n+1)xn+1 is divisible by (x1)2.
