Let Γ be the branch x>0 of the hyperbola x2−y2=1. Let P0,P1,...,Pn different points of Γ with P0=(1,0) and P1=(13/12,5/12). Let ti be the tangent line to Γ at Pi. Suppose that for all i≥0 the area of the region bounded by ti,ti+1 and Γ is a constant independent of i. Find the coordinates of the points Pi. CIIM 2011 Problem 5
Let n be a positive integer with d digits, all different from zero. For k=0,...,d−1, we define nk as the number obtained by moving the last k digits of n to the beginning. For example, if n=2184 then n0=2184,n1=4218,n2=8421,n3=1842. For m a positive integer, define sm(n) as the number of values k such that nk is a multiple of m. Finally, define ad as the number of integers n with d digits all nonzero, for which s2(n)+s3(n)+s5(n)=2d.

For n≥3, let (b0,b1,...,bn−1)=(1,1,1,0,...,0). Let Cn=(ci,j) the n×n matrix defined by ci,j=b(j−i)modn. Show

is a multiple of 3. CIIM 2011 Problem 3
Let f(x) be a rational function with complex coefficients whose denominator does not have multiple roots. Let u0,u1,...,un be the complex roots of f and w1,w2,...,wm be the roots of f′. Suppose that u0 is a simple root of f. Prove that

Find all real numbers a for which there exist different real numbers b,c,d
different from a such that the four tangents drawn to the curve y=sin(x) at the points (a,sin(a)),(b,sin(b)),(c,sin(c)) and (d,sin(d)) form a rectangle.
