question:Let (a, b, c) be positive real numbers such that (a + b + c = 1). Prove that for all positive real numbers (x, y, z), the following inequality holds: left(x^{2} + y^{2} + z^{2}right) left(frac{a^{3}}{x^{2} + 2 y^{2}} + frac{b^{3}}{y^{2} + 2 z^{2}} + frac{c^{3}}{z^{2} + 2 x^{2}}right) geq frac{1}{9}.

answer:Given the conditions: [ a, b, c text{ are positive real numbers such that } a+b+c=1. ] We are tasked with proving that for all positive real numbers ( x, y, z ), the following inequality holds: [ left(x^{2}+y^{2}+z^{2}right)left(frac{a^{3}}{x^{2}+2 y^{2}}+frac{b^{3}}{y^{2}+2 z^{2}}+frac{c^{3}}{z^{2}+2 x^{2}}right) geq frac{1}{9}. ] 1. Start with the given inequality and rearrange it: [ left(x^{2}+y^{2}+z^{2}right)left(frac{a^{3}}{x^{2}+2 y^{2}}+frac{b^{3}}{y^{2}+2 z^{2}}+frac{c^{3}}{z^{2}+2 x^{2}}right) geq frac{a+b+c}{9} ] Since (a + b + c = 1), this simplifies to: [ left(x^{2}+y^{2}+z^{2}right)left(frac{a^{3}}{x^{2}+2 y^{2}}+frac{b^{3}}{y^{2}+2 z^{2}}+frac{c^{3}}{z^{2}+2 x^{2}}right) geq frac{1}{9} ] 2. Define ( P = frac{a^{3}}{x^{2}+2y^{2}} + frac{b^{3}}{y^{2}+2z^{2}} + frac{c^{3}}{z^{2}+2x^{2}} ) and ( N = 3 ( x^2 + y^2 + z^2 ) ). 3. Apply the AM-GM inequality (Arithmetical Mean-Geometrical Mean Inequality) to each fraction: [ frac{frac{a^{3}}{x^{2}+2y^{2}}}{P} + frac{x^{2}+2y^{2}}{N} + frac{1}{3} geq 3 sqrt[3]{frac{frac{a^{3}}{x^{2}+2y^{2}} cdot (x^{2}+2y^{2}) cdot frac{1}{3}}{P cdot N cdot 1}} ] Simplify each of these inequalities to: [ frac{a^{3}}{P (x^{2}+2y^{2})} + frac{x^{2}+2y^{2}}{3 (x^{2}+y^{2}+z^{2})} + frac{1}{3} geq 1 ] 4. Apply the above step similarly for ( b ) and ( c ): [ frac{frac{b^{3}}{y^{2}+2z^{2}}}{P} + frac{y^{2}+2z^{2}}{N} + frac{1}{3} geq frac{3b}{sqrt[3]{3 P N}} ] [ frac{frac{c^{3}}{z^{2}+2x^{2}}}{P} + frac{z^{2}+2x^{2}}{N} + frac{1}{3} geq frac{3c}{sqrt[3]{3 P N}} ] 5. Adding these inequalities: [ frac{frac{a^{3}}{x^{2}+2y^{2}}}{P} + frac{frac{b^{3}}{y^{2}+2z^{2}}}{P} + frac{frac{c^{3}}{z^{2}+2x^{2}}}{P} + frac{x^{2}+2y^{2}}{N} + frac{y^{2}+2z^{2}}{N} + frac{z^{2}+2x^{2}}{N} + 1 geq frac{3(a+b+c)}{sqrt[3]{3 P N}} ] 6. Simplifying both sides: [ 1 + 1 + 1 geq frac{3}{sqrt[3]{3 P N}} ] 7. Thus, we can get: [ boxed{P geq frac{(a+b+c)^3}{3N} = frac{1}{3 times 3 (x^2 + y^2 + z^2)}} ] Since ( P = frac{a^3}{x^2 + 2y^2} + frac{b^3}{y^2 + 2z^2} + frac{c^3}{z^2 + 2x^2} ): [ P geq frac{1}{9 (x^2 + y^2 + z^2)} ] Therefore, the following inequality holds true: [ left( x^2 + y^2 + z^2 right) left( frac{a^3}{x^2 + 2y^2} + frac{b^3}{y^2 + 2z^2} + frac{c^3}{z^2 + 2x^2} right) geq frac{1}{9} ] Conclusion: [ boxed{} ]

question:After sharing 100 stickers with her friends, Xia had some sheets of stickers left. Each sheet had ten stickers on it. Xia had 150 stickers at the beginning. How many sheets of stickers did Xia have left?

answer:Xia started with 150 stickers. After sharing 100 stickers with her friends, she had: 150 stickers - 100 stickers = 50 stickers left. Since each sheet contains 10 stickers, to find out how many sheets Xia had left, we divide the remaining stickers by the number of stickers per sheet: 50 stickers ÷ 10 stickers/sheet = 5 sheets. Xia had boxed{5} sheets of stickers left.

question:O is the circumcenter of the tetrahedron ABCD. The midpoints of BC, CA, AB are L, M, N respectively. AB + BC = AD + CD, CB + CA = BD + AD, and CA + AB = CD + BD. Show that ∠LOM = ∠MON = ∠NOL.

answer:Let (O) be the circumcenter of the tetrahedron (ABCD). Define the midpoints of the sides (BC), (CA), (AB) as (L), (M), and (N) respectively. We are given the equalities: 1. ( AB + BC = AD + CD ) 2. ( CB + CA = BD + AD ) 3. ( CA + AB = CD + BD ) Let's analyze these conditions more closely by adding the first two and subtracting the third: [ (AB + BC) + (CB + CA) - (CA + AB) = (AD + CD) + (BD + AD) - (CD + BD) ] Simplifying this, we get: [ BC + CB = AD + AD ] [ 2BC = 2AD ] So: [ BC = AD ] Similarly, adding the second and third and subtracting the first: [ (CB + CA) + (CA + AB) - (AB + BC) = (BD + AD) + (CD + BD) - (AD + CD) ] Simplifying this, we have: [ 2CA = 2BD ] Thus: [ CA = BD ] Finally, adding the first and third and subtracting the second: [ (AB + BC) + (CA + AB) - (CB + CA) = (AD + CD) + (CD + BD) - (BD + AD) ] Thus: [ 2AB = 2CD ] So: [ AB = CD ] With the equalities (AB = CD), (BC = AD), and (CA = BD) established, consider points on the opposite edges of tetrahedron (ABCD). Let ((L', M', N')) be the midpoints of ((AD, BD, CD)) respectively: [ L' = text{midpoint of } AD, quad M' = text{midpoint of } BD, quad N' = text{midpoint of } CD ] It can be shown that: 1. (L'M' = frac{1}{2} AB = LM) 2. (L'M') and (LM) are parallel to (AB), hence parallel and coplanar. Also: [ L'M = frac{1}{2}CD = frac{1}{2}AB = LM ] Thus, quadrilateral (LML'M') forms a rhombus. Let (X) be the intersection of the diagonals of this rhombus. Diagonal intersections in a rhombus indicate orthogonal bisectors, meaning (X) is: 1. Right angle intersection point of (LL') and (MM') 2. Midpoint of each diagonal and thus perpendicular to the plane of rhombus. Since (NN') is similarly a bisector perpendicular to the same plane and contains the circumcenter (O), (X) must lie at (O). Due to the perpendicularity: 1. (angle LOM = 90^circ) 2. (angle MUN = 90^circ) 3. (angle NOL = 90^circ) Thus, we conclude: [ angle LOM = angle MON = angle NOL = 90^circ ] (boxed{angle LOM = angle MON = angle NOL = 90^circ})

question:Points K and M lie on the sides AB and BC of triangle ABC, such that AK: BK = 3: 2 and BM: MC = 3: 1. A line l is drawn through point B parallel to AC. Line KM intersects line l at point P and intersects line AC at point N. Find BP and CN if AC = a.

answer:1. **Identify Ratios from Given Data**: Given: [ frac{AK}{BK} = frac{3}{2} quad text{and} quad frac{BM}{MC} = frac{3}{1} ] This implies: [ BK = frac{2}{5} AB quad text{and} quad BM = frac{3}{4} BC ] 2. **Construct a Parallel Line**: Through point ( B ), draw a line ( l ) parallel to ( AC ). 3. **Intersecting Points and Similar Triangles**: The line ( KM ) intersects ( l ) at point ( P ) and ( AC ) at point ( N ). By similarity of triangles: [ triangle CMN sim triangle BMP ] Since ( l parallel AC ), the angles at ( C ) and ( B ) are corresponding angles, and their other pairs of angles at ( M ) are vertically opposite and equal. 4. **Ratios from Similar Triangles**: From the similarity of ( triangle CMN ) and ( triangle BMP ): [ frac{BP}{CN} = frac{BM}{MC} = 3 ] Hence: [ BP = 3 cdot CN ] 5. **Second Pair of Similar Triangles**: Considering triangles ( triangle AKN ) and ( triangle BKP ): [ triangle AKN sim triangle BKP ] From their corresponding sides: [ frac{AN}{KN} = frac{AK}{BK} = frac{3}{2} ] 6. **Applying Ratios**: Now, solving for ( AN ) using the given similarity and ( BP ) relation: [ AN = frac{3}{2} BP ] Since ( BP = 3 cdot CN ): [ AN = frac{3}{2} times 3 cdot CN = frac{9}{2} CN ] 7. **Express ( AC ) in Terms of ( CN )**: Given ( AC = a ): [ AC = AN + NC = frac{9}{2} cdot CN + CN = frac{11}{2} CN ] Thus: [ a = frac{11}{2} CN implies CN = frac{2a}{11} ] Subsequently: [ BP = 3 cdot CN = 3 cdot frac{2a}{11} = frac{6a}{11} ] Conclusion: [ boxed{frac{6a}{11}, frac{2a}{11}} ]
