In the triangle a point $$I$$ is a centre of inscribed circle. A line $$AI$$ meets a segment $$BC$$ in a point $$D$$. A bisector of $$AD$$ meets lines $$BI$$ and $$CI$$ respectively in a points $$P$$ and $$Q$$. Prove that heights of triangle $$PQD$$ meet in the point $$I$$.

I've tried to show that sides of triangle $$PQD$$ are parallel to sides of triangle $$ABC$$ but it didn't work out. That's why I ask you for help.

Can you provide a diagram?
 
I am convinced the OP has posted a true statement. I can't prove it, but hope someone here can. Here's a diagram.

Give a triangle ABC, let I be the incenter of the triangle (the intersection of the angle bisectors at A, B and C). Let D be the intersection of AI with BC and line L the perpendicular bisector of AD ($H_D$ is the midpoint of AD). Let P be the intersection of CI with L and Q the intersection of BI with L. Then the orthocenter of PDQ is I.

Clearly, if $H_Q$ is the intersection of BI with DP, it is sufficient to show angle $BH_QD$ is a right angle.
 
Insights auto threads is broken atm, so I'm manually creating these for new Insight articles. In Dirac’s Principles of Quantum Mechanics published in 1930 he introduced a “convenient notation” he referred to as a “delta function” which he treated as a continuum analog to the discrete Kronecker delta. The Kronecker delta is simply the indexed components of the identity operator in matrix algebra Source: https://www.physicsforums.com/insights/what-exactly-is-diracs-delta-function/ by...
Fermat's Last Theorem has long been one of the most famous mathematical problems, and is now one of the most famous theorems. It simply states that the equation $$ a^n+b^n=c^n $$ has no solutions with positive integers if ##n>2.## It was named after Pierre de Fermat (1607-1665). The problem itself stems from the book Arithmetica by Diophantus of Alexandria. It gained popularity because Fermat noted in his copy "Cubum autem in duos cubos, aut quadratoquadratum in duos quadratoquadratos, et...
I'm interested to know whether the equation $$1 = 2 - \frac{1}{2 - \frac{1}{2 - \cdots}}$$ is true or not. It can be shown easily that if the continued fraction converges, it cannot converge to anything else than 1. It seems that if the continued fraction converges, the convergence is very slow. The apparent slowness of the convergence makes it difficult to estimate the presence of true convergence numerically. At the moment I don't know whether this converges or not.
