A continuous function \(f\) has the following properties:
1. \(f\) is defined on the entire number line;
2. \(f\) at each point has a derivative (and thus the graph of f at each point has a unique tangent);
3. the graph of the function \(f\) does not contain points for which one of the coordinates is rational and the other is irrational.
Does it follow that the graph of \(f\) is a straight line?
Peter has 28 classmates. Each 2 out of these 28 have a different number of friends in the class. How many friends does Peter have?
To each pair of numbers \(x\) and \(y\) some number \(x * y\) is placed in correspondence. Find \(1993 * 1935\) if it is known that for any three numbers \(x, y, z\), the following identities hold: \(x * x = 0\) and \(x * (y * z) = (x * y) + z\).
For each pair of real numbers \(a\) and \(b\), consider the sequence of numbers \(p_n = \lfloor 2 \{an + b\}\rfloor\). Any \(k\) consecutive terms of this sequence will be called a word. Is it true that any ordered set of zeros and ones of length \(k\) is a word of the sequence given by some \(a\) and \(b\) for \(k = 4\); when \(k = 5\)?
Note: \(\lfloor c\rfloor\) is the integer part, \(\{c\}\) is the fractional part of the number \(c\).
Prove that, in a circle of radius 10, you cannot place 400 points so that the distance between each two points is greater than 1.
\(x_1\) is the real root of the equation \(x^2 + ax + b = 0\), \(x_2\) is the real root of the equation \(x^2 - ax - b = 0\).
Prove that the equation \(x^2 + 2ax + 2b = 0\) has a real root, enclosed between \(x_1\) and \(x_2\). (\(a\) and \(b\) are real numbers).
In the number \(a = 0.12457 \dots\) the \(n\)th digit after the decimal point is equal to the digit to the left of the decimal point in the number. Prove that \(\alpha\) is an irrational number.
The function \(f\) is such that for any positive \(x\) and \(y\) the equality \(f (xy) = f (x) + f (y)\) holds. Find \(f (2007)\) if \(f (1/2007) = 1\).
Solve the equation: \((x^3 - 2) (2^{\sin x} - 1) + (2^{x^3} - 4) \sin x = 0\).
We are given a \(100\times 100\) square grid and \(N\) counters. All of the possible arrangements of the counters on the grid which follow the following rule are considered: no two counters lie in adjacent squares.
What is the largest value of \(N\) for which, in every single possible arrangement of counters following this rule, it is possible to find at least one counter such that moving it to an adjacent square does not break the rule. Squares are considered adjacent if they share a side.
