Let's complex bash Part 2:P

 Okie so continuing from the previous post ( sorry for huge time gap, got stuck in Allen stuff)

A warning though if anyone from the "anti-bash" community is reading, sorry in advance and R.I.P. 


Notes:-

1. We have $z_1=r_1e^{i\theta_1}$ and $z_2=r_2e^{i\theta_2}$ then we have $z_1z_2=r_1r_2e^{i(\theta_1+\theta_2)}$ and we get $|z_1z_2|=|z_1||z_2|$ and $\arg z_1z_2=\arg z_1+\arg z_2 .$

SPIRAL SIMILARITIES and TRANSFORMATIONS:-

2. How to rotate a point about origin by 90.

  • If $90^{\circ}$ anti-clockwise then multiply the number by $i$ 
  • If $90^{\circ}$ clockwise then multiply by $-i.$
Proof:- Note that $i= 0+1\cdot i.$ So $|i|= \sqrt{0^2+1^2}=1.$ And when we locate $i$ in complex plane, clearly $\arg i=\pi/2.$

Similarly for the second, but note that $\arg -i=-\pi /2.$ (Since angles are measured anti-clockwise)

Example:- Here we have $z=1+2i$ then when we multiply $i$ we get $zi=i-2.$

Now, what about we want to dialate a point from one to another and scale it? (Note that that is spiral similarity only :P)



Like say we want to rotate point $z=4+5i$ about point $x=2+2i$ with dilation of $\pi/2.$

In this case what we do is we shift the whole diagram such that $x$ to $(0,0).$ Here we have $(2,2)\rightarrow (0,0),$ so $z$ goes to $z=(4,5)\rightarrow z'=(4-2,5-2)=(2,3)= 2+3i.$

Now we perform the same thing, so we will multiply $i$ and we get $z''=i-3=(-3,2).$
Then we transform it back, so we get $z''=(-3,2)\rightarrow z'''=(-3+2,2+2)=(-1,4).$



So in summary, what we are doing is shifting the $x$ to $O$ i.e in all the coordinates we subtracting $x$'s coordinates.. and then we get the new image of $z,$ we multiply $i,$ get new image, of $(z-x)$ then add the coordinates back .

So we get $\boxed{z\rightarrow i(z-x)+x.}$

Here $i$'s modulus is one, so there hasn't been a scaling thingy but we can do that too. 

$$z\rightarrow \alpha(z-w)+w$$ 

This is a spiral similarity centrerd at $w$ dilating $z$ which rotates by $\alpha $ and dilates by $|\alpha |.$

COMPLEX REFLECTION:- 

Let $W$ be the reflection of $Z$ over a given $AB.$ Then

$$w=\frac{  (a-b)\overline{z} + \overline{a}b - a\overline{b}}{(\overline{a} - \overline{b})}$$

Proof:- It's in egmo:P.

We first transform $z$ to $z-a$ ( We have the motive to turn $\overline{AB}$ in to the segment between $0$ and $1$ on the real axis, so that we can then apply complex conjugate thing that we have on reflection about real axis)

Then we down everything by $b-a.$

So we get $$\left(\frac{w-a}{b-a}\right) = \overline{\left(\frac{z-a}{b-a}\right)}$$

Using the basic conjugate properties, we get,

$$ \overline{\left(\frac{z-a}{b-a}\right)}=\left(\frac{\bar{z}-\bar {a}}{\bar{b}-\bar{a}}\right)$$

Then calcs done, we get $$w=\frac{  (a-b)\overline{z} + \overline{a}b - a\overline{b}}{(\overline{a} - \overline{b})}$$

Then we get this problem from egmo :P

Problem:- Show that the foot of the altitude from $Z$ to $\overline{AB}$ is given by

$$ \frac{(\overline{a} - \overline{b})z + (a-b)\overline{z} + \overline{a}b - a\overline{b}}{2(\overline{a} - \overline{b})} $$

Proof:-Consider the reflection of $z$ say $w.$ Then we know that the foot ( say $x$) will be the midpoint of $z$ and $w$ i.e $x=\frac{z+w}{2}.$

Now, using the reflection lemma, we get $$w+z=\frac{ (a-b)\overline{z} + \overline{a}b - a\overline{b}}{(\overline{a} - \overline{b})}+ z=\frac{(\overline{a} - \overline{b})z + (a-b)\overline{z} + \overline{a}b - a\overline{b}}{(\overline{a} - \overline{b})} $$

So $$\frac{w+z}{2}=  \frac{(\overline{a} - \overline{b})z + (a-b)\overline{z} + \overline{a}b - a\overline{b}}{2(\overline{a} - \overline{b})}$$

Properties:-
  • $z=\bar{z}$ iff $z$ is real
  • $z+\bar{z}=0 $ iff $z$ is pure imaginary  
perpendicular criterion:- The compleplex numbers $a,b,c,d$ have the property $AB\perp CD$ if and only if
$$\frac{d-c}{b-a} + \overline{\left(\frac{d-c}{b-a}\right)}=0$$

Proof:- We transform $d\rightarrow d-c, c \rightarrow 0.$ Now, this transformation takes line $CD$ to a line parallel to it, passing through origin.

Similarly, we transform $d\rightarrow d-c, c \rightarrow 0.$ Now, this transformation takes line $CD$ to a line parallel to it, passing through origin.

Now, remember in the previous spiral similarity transformation, we noticed that multiplying the complex number with $xi$ transforms line to a perpendicular line. So if $d-c$ and $b-a$ are perpendicular then  $\frac{d-c}{b-a}$ must be pure imaginary.

Using the properties, we get that  $$\frac{d-c}{b-a} + \overline{\left(\frac{d-c}{b-a}\right)}=0.$$

Collinearity Lemma:- Prove that complex numbers $z$, $a$ and $b$ are collinear iff

$$ \frac{z-a}{z-b} = \overline{\left(\frac{z-a}{z-b}\right)} $$

Proof:- We consider the transformation $z-a$ and $z-b.$ These vectors have tails in $O$ and heads as $z-a, z-b$ respectively. Now note that if $z,a,b$ are collinear then these two vectors ( because the transformation is mapping into parallel line through $O$) 
So we have the angles between these two vectors as $0, \pi.$

Hence the two vectors' quotient must be a real number. Using Proposition 6.4, we get that 

$$\frac{z-a}{z-b} + \overline{\left(\frac{z-a}{z-b}\right)}=0.$$

Complex shoelace Formula:- If $a,b,c$ are complex numbers, then the signed area of triangle $ABC$ is given by 





THE UNIT CIRCLE:-

The unit circle is the set of complex numbers $z$ with $|z|=1,$ which is centred at $0$ with radius $1.$

We have for any $z$ on the unit circle, $\boxed{\bar {z}=\frac{1}{z}}.$
This is because $z\cdot \bar{z}=|z|^2.$

Yeah now lemme do polynomials :P  

See ya next time! Also do check my other blog (if you get free time tmrw, new post coming there )

My experiences at EGMO, IMOTC and PROMYS experience

Yes, I know. This post should have been posted like 2 months ago. Okay okay, sorry. But yeah, I was just waiting for everything to be over and I was lazy. ( sorry ) You know, the transitioning period from high school to college is very weird. I will join CMI( Chennai Mathematical  Institue) for bsc maths and cs degree. And I am very scared. Like very very scared. No, not about making new friends and all. I don't care about that part because I know a decent amount of CMI people already.  What I am scared of is whether I will be able to handle the coursework and get good grades T_T Anyways, here's my EGMO PDC, EGMO, IMOTC and PROMYS experience. Yes, a lot of stuff. My EGMO experience is a lot and I wrote a lot of details, IMOTC and PROMYS is just a few paras. Oh to those, who don't know me or are reading for the first time. I am Sunaina Pati. I was IND2 at EGMO 2023 which was held in Slovenia. I was also invited to the IMOTC or International Mathematical Olympiad Training Cam...

Geometry ( Finally!!!)

 This is just such an unfair blog.  Like if one goes through this blog, one can notice how dominated  Algebra is!! Like 6 out of 9 blog post is Algebra dominated -_- Where as I am not a fan of Algebra, compared to other genres of Olympiad Math(as of now). And this was just injustice for Synthetic Geo. So this time , go geo!!!!!!!!!!!  These problems are randomly from A Beautiful Journey through Olympiad Geometry.  Also perhaps I will post geo after March, because I am studying combi.  Problem:  Let $ABC$ be an acute triangle where $\angle BAC = 60^{\circ}$. Prove that if the Euler’s line of $\triangle ABC$ intersects $AB$ and $AC$ at $D$ and $E$, respectively, then $\triangle ADE$ is equilateral. Solution:  Since $\angle A=60^{\circ}$ , we get $AH=2R\cos A=R=AO$. So $\angle EHA=\angle DOA.$ Also it's well known that $H$ and $O $ isogonal conjugates.$\angle OAD =\angle EAH.$ By $ASA$ congruence, we get $AE=AD.$ Hence $\triangle ADE$ is equilateral....

Problems I did this week [Jan8-Jan14]

Yeyy!! I am being so consistent with my posts~~ Here are a few problems I did the past week and yeah INMO going to happen soon :) All the best to everyone who is writing!  I wont be trying any new problems and will simply revise stuffs :) Some problems here are hard. Try them yourself and yeah~~Solutions (with sources) are given at the end! Problems discussed in the blog post Problem1: Let $ABC$ be a triangle whose incircle $\omega$ touches sides $BC, CA, AB$ at $D,E,F$ respectively. Let $H$ be the orthocenter of $DEF$ and let altitude $DH$ intersect $\omega$ again at $P$ and $EF$ intersect $BC$ at $L$. Let the circumcircle of $BPC$ intersect $\omega$ again at $X$. Prove that points $L,D,H,X$ are concyclic. Problem 2: Let $ ABCD$ be a convex quadrangle, $ P$ the intersection of lines $ AB$ and $ CD$, $ Q$ the intersection of lines $ AD$ and $ BC$ and $ O$ the intersection of diagonals $ AC$ and $ BD$. Show that if $ \angle POQ= 90^\circ$ then $ PO$ is the bisector of $ \angle AOD$ ...

Just spam combo problems cause why not

This post is mainly for Rohan Bhaiya. He gave me/EGMO contestants a lot and lots of problems. Here are solutions to a very few of them.  To Rohan Bhaiya: I just wrote the sketch/proofs here cause why not :P. I did a few more extra problems so yeah.  I sort of sorted the problems into different sub-areas, but it's just better to try all of them! I did try some more combo problems outside this but I tried them in my tablet and worked there itself. So latexing was tough. Algorithms  "Just find the algorithm" they said and they died.  References:  Algorithms Pset by Abhay Bestrapalli Algorithms by Cody Johnson Problem1: Suppose the positive integer $n$ is odd. First Al writes the numbers $1, 2,\dots, 2n$ on the blackboard. Then he picks any two numbers $a, b$ erases them, and writes, instead, $|a - b|$. Prove that an odd number will remain at the end.  Proof: Well, we go $\mod 2$. Note that $$|a-b|\equiv a+b\mod 2\implies \text{ the final number is }1+2+\dots ...

IMO Shortlist 2021 C1

 I am planning to do at least one ISL every day so that I do not lose my Olympiad touch (and also they are fun to think about!). Today, I tried the 2021 IMO shortlist C1.  (2021 ISL C1) Let $S$ be an infinite set of positive integers, such that there exist four pairwise distinct $a,b,c,d \in S$ with $\gcd(a,b) \neq \gcd(c,d)$. Prove that there exist three pairwise distinct $x,y,z \in S$ such that $\gcd(x,y)=\gcd(y,z) \neq \gcd(z,x)$. Suppose not. Then any $3$ elements $x,y,z\in S$ will be $(x,y)=(y,z)=(x,z)$ or $(x,y)\ne (y,z)\ne (x,z)$. There exists an infinite set $T$ such that $\forall x,y\in T,(x,y)=d,$ where $d$ is constant. Fix a random element $a$. Note that $(x,a)|a$. So $(x,a)\le a$.Since there are infinite elements and finite many possibilities for the gcd (atmost $a$). So $\exists$ set $T$ which is infinite such that $\forall b_1,b_2\in T$ $$(a,b_1)=(a,b_2)=d.$$ Note that if $(b_1,b_2)\ne d$ then we get a contradiction as we get a set satisfying the proble...

Some Geometry Problems for everyone to try!

 These problems are INMO~ish level. So trying this would be a good practice for INMO!  Let $ABCD$ be a quadrilateral. Let $M,N,P,Q$ be the midpoints of sides $AB,BC,CD,DA$. Prove that $MNPQ$ is a parallelogram. Consider $\Delta ABD$ and $\Delta BDC$ .Note that $NP||BD||MQ$. Similarly, $NM||AC||PQ$. Hence the parallelogram. In $\Delta ABC$, $\angle A$ be right. Let $D$ be the foot of the altitude from $A$ onto $BC$. Prove that $AD^2=BD\cdot CD$. Note that $\Delta ADB\sim \Delta CDA$. So by similarity, we have $$\frac{AD}{BD}=\frac{CD}{AD}.$$ In $\Delta ABC$, $\angle A$ be right. Let $D$ be the foot of the altitude from $A$ onto $BC$. Prove that $AD^2=BD\cdot CD$. Let $D\in CA$, such that $AD = AB$.Note that $BD||AS$. So by the Thales’ Proportionality Theorem, we are done! Given $\Delta ABC$, construct equilateral triangles $\Delta BCD,\Delta CAE,\Delta ABF$ outside of $\Delta ABC$. Prove that $AD=BE=CF$. This is just congruence. N...

Introduction

  Hey Everyone!! This is my first Blog post. So let me give a brief introduction about myself. I am Sunaina Pati. I love solving Olympiad math problems,  learning crazy astronomical facts , playing hanabi and anti-chess, listening to Kpop , love making diagrams in Geogebra and  teaching other people maths 😊 . I love geometry , number theory and Combinatorics . I am starting this blog to keep myself a bit motivated in doing studies 😎 . Right now, I am planning to write walkthroughs on some of the best problems I tried over the week which can refer for hints 'cause solutions contain some major spoilers and one learns a lot while solving the problem on his own rather than seeing solutions . Also, there will be some reviews about Kpop songs, study techniques, my day to day lifestyles,exam reviews and ofc some non-sense surprises 😂.  I am planning to  try  posting every week on Sundays or Saturdays ( most probably) ! Though there is no guarantee about when I ...

How to prepare for RMO?

"Let's wait for this exam to get over".. *Proceeds to wait for 2 whole fricking years!  I always wanted to write a book recommendation list, because I have been asked so many times! But then I was always like "Let's wait for this exam to get over" and so on. Why? You see it's pretty embarrassing to write a "How to prepare for RMO/INMO" post and then proceed to "fail" i.e not qualifying.  Okay okay, you might be thinking, "Sunaina you qualified like in 10th grade itself, you will obviously qualify in 11th and 12th grade." No. It's not that easy. Plus you are talking to a very underconfident girl. I have always underestimated myself. And I think that's the worst thing one can do itself. Am I confident about myself now? Definitely not but I am learning not to self-depreciate myself little by little. Okay, I shall write more about it in the next post describing my experience in 3 different camps and 1 program.  So, I got...

Problems with meeting people!

Yeah, I did some problems and here are a few of them! I hope you guys try them! Putnam, 2018 B3 Find all positive integers $n < 10^{100}$ for which simultaneously $n$ divides $2^n$, $n-1$ divides $2^n - 1$, and $n-2$ divides $2^n - 2$. Proof We have $$n|2^n\implies n=2^a\implies 2^a-1|2^n-1\implies a|n\implies a=2^b$$ $$\implies 2^{2^b}-2|2^{2^a}-2\implies 2^b-1|2^a-1\implies b|a\implies b=2^c.$$ Then simply bounding. USAMO 1987 Determine all solutions in non-zero integers $a$ and $b$ of the equation $$(a^2+b)(a+b^2) = (a-b)^3.$$ Proof We get $$ 2b^2+(a^2-3a)b+(a+3a^2)=0\implies b = \frac{3a-a^2\pm\sqrt{a^4-6a^3-15a^2-8a}}{4}$$ $$\implies a^4-6a^3-15a^2-8a=a(a-8)(a+1)^2\text{ a perfect square}$$ $$\implies a(a-8)=k^2\implies a^2-8a-k^2=0\implies \implies a=\frac{8\pm\sqrt{64+4k^2}}{2}=4\pm\sqrt{16+k^2}. $$ $$ 16+k^2=m^2\implies (m-k)(m+k)=16.$$ Now just bash. USAMO 1988 Suppose that the set $\{1,2,\cdots, 1998\}$ has been partitioned into disjoint pairs $\{a_i,b_i\}$ ($1...

Some random problems

  I know, I know. Different font indeed. I have deleted a few of my MSE answers. I felt they weren't that good in quality. And a few questions are from my prev aops account which I have deactivated now. I also have posted 10 IOQM types of problems. These can be used while preparing for IOQM. Problem: Prove that $\dfrac{ab}{c^3}+\dfrac{bc}{a^3}+\dfrac{ca}{b^3}> \dfrac{1}{a}+\dfrac{1}{b}+\dfrac{1}{c}$, where $a,b,c$  are different positive real numbers.  Proof: Note that by AM-GM $$\frac{ab}{c^3}+\frac{bc}{a^3}\ge \frac{2b}{ac}$$ and we also have $$\frac {b}{ac}+\frac{c}{ab}\ge \frac{2}{a}$$. Hence, $$\sum_{cyc}\frac{ab}{c^3}\ge\sum_{cyc}\frac{b}{ac}\ge\sum_{cyc}\frac{1}{a}$$ where everything we got is by applying AM-GM on $2$ terms and then dividing by $2$. USA TST 2007: Triangle $ABC$ which is inscribed in circle $\omega$. The tangent lines to $\omega$ at $B$ and $C$ meet at $T$. Point $S$ lies on ray $BC$ such that $AS$ is perpendicular to $AT$. Points $B_1$ and $C_1...
