1. If the equation x4 + px3 + qx2 + rx + s = 0 has four positive real roots, prove that
(a) pr − 16r ≥ 0
(b) q2 − 36s ≥ 0
with equality in each case if and only if the four roots are equal.
2. Find all pairs of nonnegative integers (x, y) satisfying (xy − 7)2 = x2 + y2 .
3. Let f : N0 → N0 be a function that satisfies
(x)
x

(ii) 1900 < f (1990) < 2000.
Find all possible values that f (1990) can take.

must lie between 2 and 2. Can equality hold at either limit?
6. In a scalene triangle ABC the angle at A is obtuse.
√ Determine the set of points D
