a) Let ABC ABC be a triangle, and O O be its circumcenter. BO BO and CO CO intersect with AC,AB AC,AB at B,C B',C'. BC B'C' intersects the circumcircle at two points P,Q P,Q. Prove that AP\equal{}AQ if and only if ABC ABC is isosceles. b) Prove the same statement if O O is replaced by I I, the incenter.

We call the mapping Δ:Z\{0}N \Delta:\mathbb Z\backslash\{0\}\longrightarrow\mathbb N, a degree mapping if and only if for each a,bZ a,b\in\mathbb Z such that b0 b\neq0 and b∤a b\not|a there exist integers r,s r,s such that a \equal{} br\plus{}s, and Δ(s)<Δ(b) \Delta(s) <\Delta(b). a) Prove that the following mapping is a degree mapping: \delta(n)\equal{}\mbox{Number of digits in the binary representation of }n b) Prove that there exist a degree mapping Δ0 \Delta_{0} such that for each degree mapping Δ \Delta and for each n0 n\neq0, Δ0(n)Δ(n) \Delta_{0}(n)\leq\Delta(n). c) Prove that \delta \equal{}\Delta_{0} http://i16.tinypic.com/4qntmd0.png
