  1. Solve the equation
    {(\dfrac{1}{10})}^{\log_{\frac{x}{4}} {\sqrt [4] {x} -1}} -4^{\log_{10} {\sqrt [4] {x} +5}} =6, \forall x \ge 1
  2. The function f: \mathbb{R} \to \mathbb{R} has n+1 derivatives. Show that if a < b and \log [f(b)+f'(b)+f"(b)+ \ldots +f^n(b)] - \log [f(a)+f'(a)+f"(a)+ \ldots +f^n(a)] =b-a then we can find c \in (a,b) such that f^{n+1} (c) = f (c).
  3. Let A = \{(x,y) : 0 \le < 1 \} .
    For (x,y) \in A , let \mathbf{S} (x,y)= \displaystyle{\sum_{\frac{1}{2} \le \frac{m}{n} \le 2}} x^m y^n where the sum ranges over all pairs (m,n) of positive integer satisfying the indicated inequalities. Evaluate:
    \displaystyle {\lim_{{(x,y) \to (1,1)}_{(x,y) \in A}}}  (1-xy^2)(1-x^2y) \mathbf{S} (x,y) .
  4. This problem deals to elementary functional analysis and is taken from very old paper of Putnam Competitions.

    f: [0, \mathbf{N}] \to \mathbf{R} has continuous second derivative and |f'(x)| < 1, f"(x) > 0 for all x.
    0 \le m_0 < m_1 < m_2 < \ldots < m_k \le \mathbf{N} are integers such that f(m_i) are all integers. Put a_i=m_i-m_{i-1} and b_i=f(m_i)-f(m_{i-1}).
    •Prove that
    -1 < \frac {b_1}{a_1} < \frac {b_2}{a_2} < \ldots < < \frac {b_k}{a_k} < 1.
    • Show that for A > 1 , there are atmost \dfrac{\mathbf{N}}{A} such indices i.
    • Show that there are atmost 3 {(\mathbf{N})}^{2/3} lattice points on the curve y=f(x).
