9. 133 Let $x, y$ be two distinct positive numbers, and denote $$R=\sqrt{\frac{x^{2}+y^{2}}{2}}, A=\frac{x+y}{2}, G=\sqrt{x y}, H=\frac{2 x y}{x+y} .$$
[Solution] Clearly $G<A$. Since $R=\sqrt{2 A^{2}-G^{2}}$, we have $$R-A=\sqrt{2 A^{2}-G^{2}}-A=\frac{(A+G)(A-G)}{\sqrt{2 A^{2}-G^{2}}+A} .$$ From $G<A$, it immediately follows that $$A+G<A+\sqrt{2 A^{2}-G^{2}}$$ Thus, we have $\quad R-A<A-G$. From $G^{2}<2 A^{2}-G^{2}$, we know $$G \sqrt{2 A^{2}-G^{2}}=\sqrt{G^{2}\le...

[Proof] Since $0<a<1, a^{x}+a^{y} \geqslant 2 a^{\frac{x+y}{2}}$, thus $$\log _{a}\left(a^{x}+a^{y}\right) \leqslant \log _{a} 2+\frac{x+y}{2}$$ Using $x^{2}+y=0$ we get $$\frac{x+y}{2}=\frac{1}{2} x(1-x)=-\frac{1}{2}\left(x-\frac{1}{2}\right)^{2}+\frac{1}{8} \leqslant \frac{1}{8}$$ Therefore $$\log _{a}\left(a^{x}+a...

[Proof] From $a b c>0$, we know that either $a, b, c$ are all positive, or $a, b, c$ consist of one positive and two negative numbers. When $a, b, c$ are all positive, it is obvious that $a^{n}+b^{n}+c^{n}>0$. For the latter case, assume without loss of generality that $a>0, b<0, c<0$, and $a>|b|+|c|$, so $$a>|b|+|c| \...

[Solution] Since any number and the sum of its digits have the same remainder when divided by 9, thus $c \geqslant 9$, and $9 \mid c$. On the other hand, $a \leqslant 1962 \times 9 < 19999$, therefore $b < 1 + 4 \times 9 = 37$, so $c \leqslant 11$. Hence, $c=9$.

9・203 Given real numbers $x_{1}, x_{2}, \cdots, x_{n}(n \geqslant 2)$ satisfy: $$\begin{array}{l} x_{1}+x_{2}+\cdots+x_{n}=a, \\ x_{1}^{2}+x_{2}^{2}+\cdots+x_{n}^{2}=\frac{a^{2}}{n-1}, \end{array}$$ where $a>0$, prove: $$0 \leqslant x_{i} \leqslant \frac{2 a}{n}, i=1,2, \cdots, n$$
[Proof] First, we prove $x_{i} \geqslant 0, i=1,2, \cdots, n$. If not, then there exists $i \in\{1,2, \cdots, n\}$, such that $x_{i}<0$. From $x_{1}+x_{2}+\cdots+x_{n}=a>0$, it is known that there must exist $j \in\{1,2, \cdots, n\}$, such that $x_{j}>0$. Without loss of generality, assume $x_{1}>0$. Then $$\begin{alig...

[Proof] Let $a_{n+k}=a_{k}, k=1,2,3, \cdots, n$, then the left side of the inequality can be written as $S=\sum_{k=1}^{n} \frac{a_{k}}{a_{k+1}+a_{k+2}}$.

1- 145 A six-digit number has its first digit as 5. Is it always possible to add 6 more digits after it so that the resulting twelve-digit number is a perfect square?
[Solution] The answer is negative. In fact, if it were always possible, then the $10^{5}$ six-digit numbers starting with 5 could be extended to at least $10^{5}$ twelve-digit perfect squares $n^{2}$. On the other hand, these perfect squares satisfy $$\begin{array}{l} 5 \times 10^{11} \leqslant n^{2}<6 \times 10^{11} ...

[Proof] Since when $x \geqslant -1$, $(x+1)(2x-1)^2 \geqslant 0$, that is, $$4x^3 - 3x + 1 \geqslant 0$$ Therefore, $4 \sum_{k=1}^{n} x_k^3 - 3 \sum_{k=1}^{n} x_k + n = -3 \sum_{k=1}^{n} x_k + n \geqslant 0$. This immediately shows that the inequality to be proven holds.

9.231 Let $a_{1}, a_{2}, \cdots, a_{n}$ be $n$ real numbers, and let $$\begin{array}{l} b_{k}=\frac{1}{k}\left(a_{1}+a_{2}+\cdots+a_{k}\right), k=1,2, \cdots, n, \\ C=\left(a_{1}-b_{1}\right)^{2}+\left(a_{2}-b_{2}\right)^{2}+\cdots+\left(a_{n}-b_{n}\right)^{2}, \\ D=\left(a_{1}-b_{n}\right)^{2}+\left(a_{2}-b_{n}\right)...
[Proof] By induction, when $n=1$, the proposition is obviously true. Assume the proposition holds for $n=k$. Take any $k+1$ real numbers $a_{1}, a_{2}, \cdots, a_{k+1}$. Let $C_{k}=\sum_{i=1}^{k}\left(a_{i}-b_{i}\right)^{2}$, $C_{k+1}=\sum_{i=1}^{k+1}\left(a_{i}-b_{i}\right)^{2}$, $D_{k}=\sum_{i=1}^{k}\left(a_{i}-b_{k}...

9・232 If $x_{1}, x_{2}, \cdots, x_{n} \in[a, b]$, where $0<a<b$, prove: $$\left(x_{1}+x_{2}+\cdots+x_{n}\right)\left(\frac{1}{x_{1}}+\frac{1}{x_{2}}+\cdots+\frac{1}{x_{n}}\right) \leqslant \frac{(a+b)^{2}}{4 a b} n^{2} .$$
[Proof] From $0<a \leqslant x_{i} \leqslant b, i=1,2, \cdots, n$ we can get that is $$\left(\sqrt{x_{i}}-\frac{b}{\sqrt{x_{i}}}\right)\left(\sqrt{x_{i}}-\frac{a}{\sqrt{x_{i}}}\right) \leqslant 0$$ thus $$x_{i}+\frac{a b}{x_{i}} \leqslant a+b, i=1,2, \cdots, n$$ Furthermore, $$\begin{array}{l} \sum_{i=1}^{n} x_{i}+a ...

9.233 Let $n$ be a natural number greater than 2. Prove that the following inequality holds for any real numbers $a_{1}, a_{2}, \cdots, a_{n}$ if and only if $n=3$ or $n=5$: $$\sum_{i=1}^{n}\left(a_{i}-a_{1}\right) \cdots\left(a_{i}-a_{i-1}\right)\left(a_{i}-a_{i+1}\right) \cdots\left(a_{i}-a_{n}\right) \geqslant 0 .$$
[Proof] When $n=3$, without loss of generality, let $a_{1} \leqslant a_{2} \leqslant a_{3}$. The original inequality $$\begin{aligned} \text { LHS }= & \left(a_{1}-a_{2}\right)\left(a_{1}-a_{3}\right)+\left(a_{2}-a_{1}\right)\left(a_{2}-a_{3}\right)+\left(a_{3}-\right. \\ & \left.a_{1}\right)\left(a_{3}-a_{2}\right) \\...

9・235 Let $a_{1}, a_{2}, \cdots, a_{n}$ be real numbers greater than 1 and $$\left|a_{k+1}-a_{k}\right|<1, k=1,2, \cdots, n-1$$ Prove: $$\frac{a_{1}}{a_{2}}+\frac{a_{2}}{a_{3}}+\cdots+\frac{a_{n-1}}{a_{n}}+\frac{a_{n}}{a_{1}}<2 n-1 .$$
[Proof] For $k=1,2, \cdots, n-1$, if $a_{k}<a_{k+1}$, then from $a_{k}1$ we know $\frac{a_{k}}{a_{k+1}}<1+\frac{1}{a_{k+1}}<2$. Suppose there are $l$ values of $k$ such that $$1 \leqslant k \leqslant n-1 \text { and } a_{k}<a_{k+1} \text {, }$$ and the remaining $n-1-l$ values of $k$ have $a_{k} \geqslant a_{k+1}$. Si...

9. 236 There are several positive numbers written on the blackboard. It is known that the sum of their pairwise products is 1. Prove: one of these numbers can be erased so that the sum of the remaining positive numbers is less than $\sqrt{2}$. untranslated text remains the same as requested.
[Proof] Let the positive numbers written on the blackboard be $x_{1}, x_{2}, \cdots, x_{n}$ and $$x_{n}=\max \left\{x_{1}, x_{2}, \cdots, x_{n}\right\}$$ By assumption, Thus, $$\left(x_{1}+x_{2}+\cdots+x_{n}\right)^{2}=x_{1}^{2}+x_{2}^{2}+\cdots+x_{n}^{2}+2$$ $$\begin{aligned} & \left(x_{1}+x_{2}+\cdots+x_{n-1}\right...

9.237 Prove: regardless of how the "+" and "-" signs are chosen for the odd powers of $x$ on the left side of the following expression, we always have $$x^{2 n} \pm x^{2 n-1}+x^{2 n-2} \pm x^{2 n-3}+\cdots+x^{2} \pm x+1>\frac{1}{2}$$
[Proof] It is clear that it suffices to prove for any $x \geqslant 0$ $$f(x)=x^{2 n}-x^{2 n-1}+x^{2 n-2}-x^{2 n-3}+\cdots+x^{2}-x+1>\frac{1}{2}$$ Indeed, since $f(x)=\frac{1+x^{2 n+1}}{1+x}$, if $x \geqslant 1$ or $x=0$, then $f(x) \geqslant 1$. If $0 < x < 1$, then $f(x) > \frac{1}{1+x} \geqslant \frac{1}{2}$ In any...

[Proof] Since $$\frac{a_{1}^{2}-a_{2}^{2}}{a_{1}+a_{2}}+\frac{a_{2}^{2}-a_{3}^{2}}{a_{2}+a_{3}}+\cdots+\frac{a_{n-1}^{2}-a_{n}^{2}}{a_{n-1}+a_{n}}+\frac{a_{n}^{2}-a_{1}^{2}}{a_{n}+a_{1}}=0$$ Therefore, $$\begin{aligned} & \frac{a_{1}^{2}}{a_{1}+a_{2}}+\frac{a_{2}^{2}}{a_{2}+a_{3}}+\cdots+\frac{a_{n}^{2}}{a_{n}+a_{1}} ...
