Esmeralda writes 2n2n real numbers x1,x2,,x2nx_1, x_2, \dots , x_{2n}, all belonging to the interval [0,1][0, 1], around a circle and multiplies all the pairs of numbers neighboring to each other, obtaining, in the counterclockwise direction, the products p1=x1x2p_1 = x_1x_2, p2=x2x3p_2 = x_2x_3, \dots , p2n=x2nx1p_{2n} = x_{2n}x_1. She adds the products with even indices and subtracts the products with odd indices. What is the maximum possible number Esmeralda can get?

a) In a XYZ XYZ triangle, the incircle tangents the XY XY and XZ XZ sides at the T T and W W points, respectively. Prove that: XT=XW=XY+XZYZ2 XT = XW = \frac {XY + XZ-YZ} {2} Let ABC ABC be a triangle and D D is the foot of the relative height next to A. A. Are I I and J J the incentives from triangle ABD ABD and ACD ACD , respectively. The circles of ABD ABD and ACD ACD tangency AD AD at points M M and N N , respectively. Let P P be the tangency point of the BC BC circle with the AB AB side. The center circle A A and radius AP AP intersect the height D D at K. K. b) Show that the triangles IMK IMK and KNJ KNJ are congruent c) Show that the IDJK IDJK quad is inscritibed
