Write down in Roman numerals the numbers \(14\) and \(61\) and multiply them as Roman numerals.

Two lines \(CD\) and \(CB\) are tangent to a circle with the center \(A\) and radius \(R\), see the picture. The angle \(\angle BCD\) equals \(120^{\circ}\). Find the length of \(BD\) in terms of \(R\).

Given two circles, one has centre \(A\) and radius \(r\), another has centre \(C\) and radius \(R\). Both circles are tangent to a line at the points \(B\) and \(D\) respectively and the angles \(\angle CED = \angle AEB = 30^{\circ}\). Find the length of \(AC\) in terms of \(r\) and \(R\).

Consider a triangle \(CDE\). The lines \(CD\), \(DE\), and \(CE\) are tangent to a circle with centre \(A\) at the points \(F,G\), and \(B\) respectively. We also have that the angle \(\angle DCE = 120^{\circ}\). Prove that the length of the segment \(AC\) equals the perimeter of the triangle \(CDE\).

A circle with center \(A\) is tangent to the lines \(CB\) and \(CD\), see picture. Find the angles of the triangle \(BCD\) if \(BD=BC\).

Take two circles with a common centre \(A\). A chord \(CD\) of the bigger circle is tangent to the smaller one at the point \(B\). Prove that \(B\) is the midpoint of \(CD\).

Show for positive \(a\) and \(b\) that \(a^2 +b^2 \ge 2ab\).

Is it true that if \(b\) is a positive number, then \(b^3 + b^2 \ge b\)? What about \(b^3 +1 \ge b\)?

Show that if \(a\) is positive, then \(1+a \ge 2 \sqrt{a}\).
