Suppose that: \[\frac{x+y}{x-y}+\frac{x-y}{x+y} =3.\] Find the value of the following expression: \[\frac{x^2 +y^2}{x^2-y^2} + \frac{x^2 -y^2}{x^2+y^2}.\]
Compute the following: \[\frac{(2001\times 2021 +100)(1991\times 2031 +400)}{2011^4}.\]
After a circus came back from its country-wide tour, relatives of the animal tamer asked him questions about which animals travelled with the circus.
“Where there tigers?”
“Yes, in fact, there were seven times more tigers than non-tigers.”
“What about monkeys?”
“Yes, there were seven times less monkeys than non-monkeys.”
“Where there any lions?”
What is the answer he gave to this last question?
Solve this equation: \[(x+2010)(x+2011)(x+2012)=(x+2011)(x+2012)(x+2013).\]
The graph of the function \(y=kx+b\) is shown on the diagram below. Compare \(|k|\) and \(|b|\).
Compare the numbers: \(A=2011\times 20122012\times 201320132013\) and \(B= 2013\times 20112011 \times 201220122012\).
A rectangle of size \(199\times991\) is drawn on squared paper. How many squares intersect the diagonal of the rectangle?
Suppose you have 127 1p coins. How can you distribute them among 7 coin pouches such that you can give out any amount from 1p to 127p without opening the coin pouches?
The board has the form of a cross, which is obtained if corner boxes of a square board of \(4 \times 4\) are erased. Is it possible to go around it with the help of the knight chess piece and return to the original cell, having visited all the cells exactly once?
Prove that: \[a_1 a_2 a_3 \cdots a_{n-1}a_n \times 10^3 \equiv a_{n-1} a_n \times 10^3 \pmod4,\] where \(n\) is a natural number and \(a_i\) for \(i=1,2,\ldots, n\) are the digits of some number.
