( ) = , ( ) = , ( ) = ( ) − ( ), ∈ ℕ, ≥
Find the reminder of , ≥ at − − +
Proposed by Marian Ursarescu-Romania
Solution by Ravi Prakash-New Delhi-India
Let ( ) = − − +
Suppose ( ) be the quotient and ( ) be the reminder when ( ) is divided by ( ), i.e., ( ) = ( ) ( ) + ( ). We assert
( ) = ( − ) + when = = ( − )( − ) +
when = − . For = , = ( ) − ,
( ) = ( ) = = ( )( − )( − ) +
( ) = ( ) = − = ( − ) + = ( − ) +
Thus, the result holds for all ∈ ℕ, ≤ , ≥ .
We prove the result for + . If + is odd, let + = + , where ≥ and
= , − = − . Now, as the result holds for , −
( ) = ( ) = ( )− ( ) =
= [ ( ) ( ) + ( )]− [ ( ) ( ) + ( )] =
= [ ( )− ( )] ( ) + ( )− ( )
But ( )− ( ) = [ ( − ) + ] − [ ( − )( − ) + ]
= ( − ) + − ( − )( − )
www.ssmrmh.ro
= [ ( ) + − ] + − ( − )( − ) −
= ( ) + ( − + )( − ) +
Thus, ( ) = ( ) = ( + )( − ) +
Next, when + is even, we let + = , − , − < , where ≥ .
Now, ( ) = ( ) = ( )− ( ) =
= [ ( ) ( ) + ( )]− [ ( ) ( ) + ( )]
= [ ( )− ( )] ( ) + ( )− ( )
But ( ) − ( )
= [ ( − ) ( − ) + ]− [ ( − ) ( − ) + ]
= ( − )( − ) + − ( − ) ( − )−
= ( − )[ ( ) + − ] + ( − ) − ( − ) ( − ) +
= ( − ) ( ) + [ ( )( − ) + − ( − ) ]( − ) +
∴ ( ) = [ − + − ( − + )]( − ) +
= ( − ) + = ( − ) + = ( + ) ( − ) +
Thus, the result holds in this case also. By the principle of mathematical induction
result is true for all ∈ ℕ.

⇒ ( ) + = ∀ ≥
We have ( ) + + ( ) + + ( ) + = + +
By AM-GM inequality, we have + + ≥( )( )( )
So, ( ) + + ( ) + + ( ) + ≥( )( )( )
(QED)
The equality occurs when = = .

Let’s set ( ) = ( ),∀ ∈ ℝ. Then the given inequality

On the other hand, we have ( ) = . Then ( ) = ∀ ∈ ℝ or ( ) = ∀ ∈ ℝ

Solution 2 by Chris Kyriazis-Greece
If ≤ ≤ ⇒ √ ≤ ⇒ − √ ≥ So, − ≥ , − √ ≥ , − √ ≥
We have that: − √ − ≥ ⇒ + ≥ √ + (1)
And − √ − √ ≥ ⇒ + √ ≥ √ + √ (2)
So, by (1) + (2) : √ + √ + √ ≤ + √ + √ (3)
So, it suffices to prove that
+ + √ ≤ + or + + √ + ≤ + or
+ ≥ + √ . But this one holds because:
≤ ⇒ − ≥√ ≤ ⇒ −√ ≥
⇒ − −√ ≥ ⇒ + ≥ + √
So, √ + √ + √ ≤ + ⇔ √ √ √ ≤
Integrating this one we have what we want!
