1. (Triangle Geometry) Let ABC be a triangle with AB = 5, AC = 4, BC = 6. The angle bisector of
C intersects side AB at X. Points M and N are drawn on sides BC and AC, respectively, such that XM is parallel to AC and XN is parallel to BC. Compute the length M N . 2. (Polynomials) Let f (x) = x4 + ax3 + bx2 + cx + d be a polynomial whose roots are all negative integers. If a + b + c + d = 2009, find d.
3. (Number Theory) How many ordered triples (x, y, z) of positive integers satisfy lcm(x, y) = 72, lcm(x, z) = 600 and lcm(y, z) = 900?
