Can you tile the plane with regular octagons?
Draw how to tile the whole plane with figures, composed from squares \(1\times 1\), \(2\times 2\), \(3\times 3\), \(4\times 4\), and \(5\times 5\) where squares of all sizes are used the same amount of times in the design of the figure.
Four siblings received magic wands for Christmas. It turned out that any three magic wands can form a triangle in such a way that the areas of all four triangles are equal. Are all the magic wands necessarily the same length?
Let \(a,b,c >0\) be positive real numbers. Prove that \[(1+a)(1+b)(1+c)\geq 8\sqrt{abc}.\]
For a natural number \(n\) prove that \(n! \leq (\frac{n+1}{2})^n\), where \(n!\) is the factorial \(1\times 2\times 3\times ... \times n\).
Prove the Cauchy-Schwartz inequality: for a natural number \(n\) and real numbers \(a_1\), \(a_2\), ..., \(a_n\) and \(b_1\), \(b_2\), ..., \(b_n\) we have \[(a_1b_1 + a_2b_2 + ... + a_nb_n)^2 \leq (a_1^2+a_2^2+...+a_n^2)(b_1^2+b_2^2+...+b_n^2).\]
Calculate the following squares in the shortest possible way (without
a calculator or any other device):
a) \(1001^2\) b) \(9998^2\) c) \(20003^2\) d) \(497^2\)
Let \(\triangle ABC\) be a triangle and \(D\) be a point on the edge \(BC\) so that the segment \(AD\) bisects the angle \(\angle BAC\). Show that \(\frac{|AB|}{|BD|}=\frac{|AC|}{|CD|}\).
For non-negative real numbers \(a,b,c\) prove that \[a^3+b^3+c^3 \geq \frac{(a+b+c)(a^2+b^2+c^2)}{3}\geq a^2b+b^2c+c^2a.\]
Prove Nesbitt’s inequality, which states that for positive real numbers \(a,b,c\) we have \[\frac{a}{b+c}+\frac{b}{a+c}+\frac{c}{a+b}\geq \frac{3}{2}.\]
