Prove that a convex quadrilateral \(ICEF\) can contain a circle if and only if \(IC+EH = CE+IF\).

Two perpendicular straight lines are drawn through the centre of the square. Prove that their intersection points with the sides of a square form a square.

Two circles \(c\) and \(d\) are tangent at point \(B\). Two straight lines intersecting the first circle at points \(D\) and \(E\) and the second circle at points \(G\) and \(F\) are drawn through the point \(B\). Prove that \(ED\) is parallel to \(FG\).

We are given 51 two-digit numbers – we will count one-digit numbers as two-digit numbers with a leading 0. Prove that it is possible to choose 6 of these so that no two of them have the same digit in the same column.

How many rational terms are contained in the expansion of

a) \((\sqrt 2 + \sqrt[4]{3})^{100}\);

b) \((\sqrt 2 + \sqrt[3]{3})^{300}\)?

Find \(m\) and \(n\) knowing the relation \(\binom{n+1}{m+1}: \binom{n+1}{m}:\binom{n+1}{m-1} = 5:5:3\).

Which term in the expansion \((1 + \sqrt 3)^{100}\) will be the largest by the Newton binomial formula?

Solve the equations in integers:

a) \(3x^2 + 5y^2 = 345\);

b) \(1 + x + x^2 + x^3 = 2^y\).
