Problem Statement
A right that passes through the incircle of the triangle intersects the side and in , respective . We denote BC\equal{}a\ , \ AC\equal{}b\ ,\ AB\equal{}c and \frac{PB}{PA}\equal{}p\ ,\ \frac{QC}{QA}\equal{}q.
i) Prove that:
a(1\plus{}p)\cdot \overrightarrow{IP}\equal{}(a\minus{}pb)\overrightarrow{IB}\minus{}pc\overrightarrow{IC}
ii) Show that a\equal{}bp\plus{}cq.
iii) If a^2\equal{}4bcpq, then the rights and are concurrents.
