<think> Okay, let me try to work through this problem step by step. So, we have a circle with radius 3, and two inscribed triangles ABC and AMN. The line AM passes through the midpoint E of BC, and the line BN passes through the midpoint F of AC. We need to find the perimeter of triangle ABC given the ratios AM:AE = 2:...

Let $N$ be the number of positive integers that are less than or equal to $2003$ and whose base-$2$ representation has more $1$'s than $0$'s. Find the [remainder](https://artofproblemsolving.com/wiki/index.php/Remainder) when $N$ is divided by $1000$.
<think> Okay, so I need to find the number of positive integers ≤2003 whose base-2 (binary) representations have more 1's than 0's. Then, find this number modulo 1000. Hmm, let's break this down step by step. First, understanding the problem: For each number from 1 to 2003, convert it to binary, count the number of 1'...

1st Iberoamerican 1985 Problem A1 Find all integer solutions to: a + b + c = 24, a 2 + b 2 + c 2 = 210, abc = 440.
<think> Alright, so I need to find all integer solutions for a, b, c that satisfy the following three equations: 1. a + b + c = 24 2. a² + b² + c² = 210 3. abc = 440 Hmm, okay. Let me think step by step. Since these are integers, maybe I can use some algebraic methods or factorizations. Let me start by recalling that...

9.012. Find the natural values of $x$ that satisfy the system of inequalities $$ \left\{\begin{array}{l} \log _{\sqrt{2}}(x-1)<4 \\ \frac{x}{x-3}+\frac{x-5}{x}<\frac{2 x}{3-x} \end{array}\right. $$
<think> Okay, so I have this system of inequalities to solve for natural values of x. The system is: 1. log base sqrt(2) of (x - 1) is less than 4 2. (x)/(x - 3) + (x - 5)/x < (2x)/(3 - x) First, I need to find the natural numbers x that satisfy both inequalities. Let me tackle each inequality one by one and then fin...

Determine all positive integers $n$ for which the equation $$ x^{n}+(2+x)^{n}+(2-x)^{n}=0 $$ has an integer as a solution. ## Answer: $n=1$.
<think> Okay, so I need to figure out for which positive integers n the equation xⁿ + (2 + x)ⁿ + (2 - x)ⁿ = 0 has an integer solution. Hmm, let's start by trying to understand the equation better. Maybe plug in some small values of n and see what happens. First, let's consider n=1. Then the equation becomes x + (2 + ...
