Let \(A B C\) be a triangle such that \(A C^{2}+A B^{2}=5 B C^{2}\). Prove that the medians from the vertices \(B\) and \(C\) are perpendicular.
Consider a convex quadrilateral \(A B C D\) with nonparallel opposite sides \(A D\) and \(B C .\) Let \(G_{1}, G_{2}, G_{3}, G_{4}\) be the centroids of the triangles \(B C D, A C D, A B D, A B C\), respectively. Prove that if \(A G_{1}=B G_{2}\) and \(C G_{3}=D G_{4}\), then \(A B C D\) is an isosceles trapezoid.
(a) Let \(z_{1}, z_{2}, z_{3}, z_{4}\) be distinct complex numbers of zero sum, having equal absolute values.

Let \(A\) and \(E\) be opposite vertices of a regular octagon. Let \(a_{n}\) be the number of paths of length \(n\) of the form \(\left(P_{0}, P_{1}, \ldots, P_{n}\right)\), where \(P_{i}\) are vertices of the octagon and the paths are constructed using the following rule: \(P_{0}=A, P_{n}=E, P_{i}\), and \(P_{i+1}\) are adjacent vertices for \(i=0, \ldots, n-1\), and \(P_{i} \neq E\) for \(i=0, \ldots, n-1\) Prove that \(a_{2 n-1}=0\) and \(a_{2 n}=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\left(x^{n-1}-y^{n-1}\right)\), for all \(n=1,2,3, \ldots\), where \(x=2+\sqrt{2}\) and \(y=2-\sqrt{2}\).
Prove the following identities:$$ \begin{aligned} &\text { (1) }\left(\begin{array}{l} n \\ 0 \end{array}\right)+\left(\begin{array}{l} n \\ 4 \end{array}\right)+\left(\begin{array}{c} n \\ 8 \end{array}\right)+\cdots=\frac{1}{4}\left(2^{n}+2^{\frac{n}{2}+1} \cos \frac{n \pi}{4}\right) \text { . }\\\ &\text { (Romanian Mathematical Olympiad-Second Round, 1981) }\\\ &\begin{aligned} &\text { (2) }\left(\begin{array}{l} n \\ 0 \end{array}\right)+\left(\begin{array}{l} n \\ 5 \end{array}\right)+\left(\begin{array}{l} n \\ 10 \end{array}\right)+\cdots= \\ &=\frac{1}{5}\left[2^{n}+\frac{(\sqrt{5}+1)^{n}}{2^{n-1}} \cos \frac{n \pi}{5}+\frac{(\sqrt{5}-1)^{n}}{2^{n-1}} \cos \frac{2 n \pi}{5}\right] \end{aligned} \end{aligned} $$
