First, we show that triangle $A B C$ is isosceles. Indeed, this follows from the condition $\angle B M A=\angle M B C+\angle B A C$ and the property of the exterior angle: $\angle B M A=\angle M B C+\angle B C A$. From these two equalities, we have $\angle B C A=\angle B A C$, and thus, ... | 60 | Geometry | math-word-problem | Yes | Yes | olympiads | false |

When $x=2019 \quad y=\frac{1}{2019} f(1)=f(2019)+f\left(\frac{1}{2019}\right)$,
$f(2019)=f(1)-f\left(\frac{1}{2019}\right)$

6.4. The frame for three square photographs has the same width everywhere (see figure). The perimeter of one opening is 60 cm, the perimeter of the entire frame is 180 cm. What is the width of the frame? | Answer: 5 cm.
Solution. From the condition of the problem, it follows that the length of one hole's side is 15 cm. Let $d$ cm be the width of the frame, then the perimeter of the rectangle is $8 \cdot 15 + 12 d = 120 + 12 d$ (cm). According to the condition, $120 + 12 d = 180$, which means $d = 5$.

(A. Khryabrov) | Answer. $a=1001000$.
First solution. We will prove that $a \geqslant 1001000$. Notice that if $y$ is a root of the quadratic polynomial $a x^{2}+b x+c$, then $1 / y$ is a root of the quadratic polynomial $c x^{2}+b x+a$.

If the digit that repeats three times is zero, then by adding one of the other 9 digits in front, we get 9 numbers. If the digit $a \neq 0$ repeats in the number, then the number of numbers with different $b, b \neq a$, will be $9 \cdot 4 \cdot 9$. Therefore, in total, there are 333 numbers.

Solution. The entry fee for two people in February 2020 was 600 rubles. In March, instead of every two people, the stadium is visited by three people, as the number of visitors increased by $50 \%$. Since the total collection increased by $25 \%$, they will pay $600+0.25 \cdot 600=750$ (rub.), and thus one... | 50 | Algebra | math-word-problem | Yes | Yes | olympiads | false |

If the numbers $a$ and $b$ are even, then the sum of their squares is divisible by 4, but the number $22 \ldots 2$ is not.
