Solution: 2015-9 Sum of squares

Let \(n\ge 1\) and \(a_0,a_1,a_2,\ldots,a_{n}\) be non-negative integers. Prove that if \[ N=\frac{a_0^2+a_1^2+a_2^2+\cdots+a_{n}^2}{1+a_0a_1a_2\cdots a_{n}}\] is an integer, then \(N\) is the sum of \(n\) squares of integers.

2015-10 Product of sine functions

Let \(w_1,w_2,\ldots,w_n\) be positive real numbers such that \( \sum_{i=1}^n w_i=1\). Prove that if \(x_1,x_2,\ldots,x_n\in [0,\pi]\), then \[ \sin \left(\prod_{i=1}^n x_i^{w_i} \right) \ge \prod_{i=1}^n (\sin x_i)^{w_i}.\]
