Prove that if you rotate through an angle of \(\alpha\) with the center at the origin, the point with the coordinates \((x, y)\), it goes to the point \((x \cos \alpha - y \sin \alpha, x \sin \alpha + y \cos \alpha)\).

Write the following rational numbers in the form of decimal fractions: a) \(\frac {1}{7}\); b) \(\frac {2}{7}\); c) \(\frac{1}{14}\); d) \(\frac {1}{17}\).

Prove that for \(x \ne \pi n\) (\(n\) is an integer) \(\sin x\) and \(\cos x\) are rational if and only if the number \(\tan x/2\) is rational.

Let \(z_1\) and \(z_2\) be fixed points of a complex plane. Give a geometric description of the sets of all points \(z\) that satisfy the conditions:

a) \(\operatorname{arg} \frac{z - z_1}{z - z_2} = 0\);

b) \(\operatorname{arg} \frac{z_1 - z}{z - z_2} = 0\).

Prove that amongst any 7 different numbers it is always possible to choose two of them, \(x\) and \(y\), so that the following inequality was true: \[0 < \frac{x-y}{1+xy} < \frac{1}{\sqrt3}.\]

The numerical function \(f\) is such that for any \(x\) and \(y\) the equality \(f (x + y) = f (x) + f (y) + 80xy\) holds. Find \(f(1)\) if \(f(0.25) = 2\).

In the magical land of Anchuria there is a drafts championship made up of several rounds. The days and cities in which the rounds are carried out are determined by a draw. According to the rules of the championship, no two rounds can take place in one city, and no two rounds can take place on one day. Among the fans, a lottery is arranged: the main prize is given to those who correctly guess, before the start of the championship, in which cities and on which days all of the round will take place. If no one guesses, then the main prize will go to the organising committee of the championship. In total, there are eight cities in Anchuria, and the championship is only allotted eight days. How many rounds should there be in the championship, so that the organising committee is most likely to receive the main prize?

The functions \(f\) and \(g\) are defined on the entire number line and are reciprocal. It is known that \(f\) is represented as a sum of a linear and a periodic function: \(f (x) = kx + h (x)\), where \(k\) is a number, and \(h\) is a periodic function. Prove that \(g\) is also represented in this form.

A cubic polynomial \(f (x)\) is given. Let’s find a group of three different numbers \((a, b, c)\) such that \(f (a)= b\), \(f (b) = c\) and \(f (c) = a\). It is known that there were eight such groups \([a_i, b_i, c_i]\), \(i = 1, 2, \dots , 8\), which contains 24 different numbers. Prove that among eight numbers of the form \(a_i + b_i + c_i\) at least three are different.
