Problem 1 Find all real solutions of the equation
17x + 2x = 11x + 23x .
[10 points]
Problem 2 Let n be a positive integer and let a1 ≤ a2 ≤ · · · ≤ an be real numbers such that
a1 + 2a2 + · · · + nan = 0 .
Prove that
a1 [x] + a2 [2x] + · · · + an [nx] ≥ 0
for every real number x. (Here [t] denotes the integer satisfying [t] ≤ t < [t] + 1.) [10 points]
Problem 3 In R3 some n points are coloured. In every step, if four coloured points lie on the same line, Vojtěch
can colour any other point on this line. He observes that he can colour any point P ∈ R3 in a finite number
of steps (possibly depending on P ). Find the minimal value of n for which this could happen. [10 points]
