Prove that for all \(x \in (0;\pi /2)\) for \(n > m\), where \(n, m\) are natural, we have the inequality \(2 | \sin^n x-\cos^n x | \leq 3 | \sin^m x-\cos^m x |\);

The polynomial \(P (x)\) of degree \(n\) has \(n\) distinct real roots.

What is the largest number of its coefficients that can be equal to zero?

Members of the State parliament formed factions in such a way that for any two factions \(A\) and \(B\) (not necessarily different)

the set of all parliament members not included in \(C\) is denoted). Prove that for any two factions \(A\) and \(B\), \(A \cup % \includegraphics{https://problems-static.s3.eu-west-2.amazonaws.com/static/test/task_images/82/109909-3.png} B\) is also a faction.

We call a number \(x\) rational if it can be represented as \(x=\frac{p}{q}\) for coprime integers \(p\) and \(q\). Otherwise we call the number irrational.
Non-zero numbers \(a\) and \(b\) satisfy the equality \(a^2b^2 (a^2b^2 + 4) = 2(a^6 + b^6)\). Prove that at least one of them is irrational.

For what natural numbers \(n\) are there positive rational but not whole numbers \(a\) and \(b\), such that both \(a + b\) and \(a^n + b^n\) are integers?
