(e) $(\overline{H}\cap G)\cap(G-F)$

Problem 2

(d) $1$

(e) $2$

Problem 4

Problem 5

Find the solution of the equation:

$\sin x\left(1+\tan x\tan\frac{x}{2}\right)=4-\cot x$

Problem 6

Let the equation $n^2-7m^2=(5m-2n)^2+49$ . Find all the pairs of integers $(m,n)$ that satisfy this equation.

Problem 7

Three player sits around a table and play, alternatively, a dice of six faces. The first player throw the dice, then the player at its left plays, and then it goes, until the finish of the game. The one that throw the dice and get the side with number 6, wins the game and it ends. If a player gets the number 1, he loses its chance and the player at its right will throw the dice. The game will continue until someone gets the number 6. What's the probability of the first player to throw the dice to win?

Problem 8

The equation of the circumference $C$ is $x^2+y^2=16$ . Let $C'$ be a circumference of radius 1 wich moves internally tangentiating the circumference $C$ , without slipping between the points of contact, in other words, $C'$ internally rolls on $C$ .

Let the point $P$ be on $C'$ such that in the beginning of the movement of $C'$ the point $P$ is at the tangent point $(4,0)$ , like in the figure a. After some movement, the angle between
