A rectangular billiard with sides 1 and \(\sqrt {2}\) is given. From its angle at an angle of \(45 ^\circ\) to the side a ball is released. Will it ever get into one of the pockets? (The pockets are in the corners of the billiard table).
Prove that the following inequalities hold for the Brockard angle \(\varphi\):
a) \(\varphi ^{3} \le (\alpha - \varphi) (\beta - \varphi) (\gamma - \varphi)\) ;
b) \(8 \varphi^{3} \le \alpha \beta \gamma\) (the Jiff inequality).
Suppose that \(n \geq 3\). Are there n points that do not lie on one line, whose pairwise distances are irrational, and the areas of all of the triangles with vertices in them are rational?
Do there exist three points \(A\), \(B\) and \(C\) on the plane such that for any point \(X\) the length of at least one of the segments \(XA\), \(XB\) and \(XC\) is irrational?
Ten circles are marked on the circle. How many non-closed non-self-intersecting nine-point broken lines exist with vertices at these points?
A passenger left his things in an automatic storage room, and when he came to get his things, it turned out that he had forgotten the code. He only remembers that in the code there were the numbers 23 and 37. To open the room, you need to correctly type a five-digit number. What is the least number of codes you need to sort through in order to open the room for sure?
How many nine-digit numbers exist, the sum of the digits of which is even?
Prove the validity of the following formula of Newton’s binom \[(x+y)^n = \binom{n}{0}x^n + \binom{n}{1}x^{n-1}y + \dots + \binom{n}{n}y^n.\]
How many rational terms are contained in the expansion of
a) \((\sqrt 2 + \sqrt[4]{3})^{100}\);
b) \((\sqrt 2 + \sqrt[3]{3})^{300}\)?
Think of a way to finish constructing Pascal’s triangle upward.
