ReplyDelete1. Connect BI, EC and AI
Note that A,I,E are collinear.
We have angle(BCE)= ½ angle (A) + ½ angle (B)
And angle (BIF)= ½ angle (A)+1/2 angle (B) so angle (BCE)= angle (BIF) and quad(BICE) is cyclic
2. Since H is the midpoint of arc AG >> HI.HM=HN.HE= HA ^2
And quad(NIME) is cyclic.
3. Note that MN is radical line of circle(ABC) and circle(NIME)
In circle(BICE) , F is the intersection of chords BC and IE >> FI.FE=FB.FC
Since power of F to circle (NIME)=power of F to circle(ABC)
So F must lie on radical axis MN of circles (ABC) and circle (NIME)
