We are given a polynomial \(P(x)\) and numbers \(a_1\), \(a_2\), \(a_3\), \(b_1\), \(b_2\), \(b_3\) such that \(a_1a_2a_3 \ne 0\). It turned out that \(P (a_1x + b_1) + P (a_2x + b_2) = P (a_3x + b_3)\) for any real \(x\). Prove that \(P (x)\) has at least one real root.
We are given \(n+1\) different natural numbers, which are less than \(2n\) (\(n>1\)). Prove that among them there will always be three numbers, where the sum of two of them is equal to the third.
Let \(x_1, x_2, \dots , x_n\) be some numbers belonging to the interval \([0, 1]\). Prove that on this segment there is a number \(x\) such that \[\frac{1}{n} (|x - x_1| + |x - x_2| + \dots + |x - x_n|) = 1/2.\]
Prove that there are no natural numbers \(a\) and \(b\) such that \(a^2 - 3b^2 = 8\).
Solve the equation \(3x + 5y = 7\) in integers. Make sure that you’ve found all integer solutions.
Determine all the integer solutions for the equation \(21x + 48y = 6\).
Solve the equations \(x^2 = 14 + y^2\) in integers.
Let \(p\) be a prime number, and \(a\) an integer number not divisible by \(p\). Prove that there is a positive integer \(b\) such that \(ab \equiv 1 \pmod p\).
Each of the 102 pupils of one school is friends with at least 68 others. Prove that among them there are four who have the same number of friends.
There were seven boxes. In some of them, seven more boxes were placed inside (not nested in each other), etc. As a result, there are 10 non-empty boxes. How many boxes are there now in total?
