Youngsage:

x + y =5 -------- eqn i.
x^x + y^y=31 ----- eqn ii.
From equatns i & ii, take the log of both sides
(xlog^x + ylog^y) = log 31------ eqn iii.
log(x+y) = log 5 ------------ eqn iv.
xylogxy= log 31 -------- eqn v.
log xy = log 5 --------- eqn vi.
(Using elimination method);
xylog5 = log31
xy = log 31/log 5 =6.2 approx. 6.

Recall, from eqn i, x + y = 5.
So x = 6/y or y = 6/x.
Therefore x=2 when y=3.
ans: x=2, and y=3.

Explain further on how you applied the elimination method

Richiez:


nice try bro, although you made some some mistakes especially at the point where you took log of both sides. e.g it ought to be log(x+y)= log5 and not logx + logy = log5. but i must admit, you did a very good job.

here's another approach;

x + y = 5.......(1)
x^x + y^y =31.......(2)

from eqn(1), x=5-y, hence we substitute this value for x in eqn(2).
(5-y)^(5-y) + y^y = 31.......(3)
now, we have reduced the problem to what value of y that must be inserted in eqn (3) to obtain 31.

a thorough look at eqns (1) & (2) shows that the values of x & y must be positive integers within the range 0<x<5 and 0<y<5
clearly, y=3
i.e (5-3)^(5-3) + 3^3
2^2 + 27
4+27=31
now that we have established that y=3, we shall substitute the value of y in eqn(1) to get x
recall that x+y=5
therefore; x+3=5 or x=5-3=2
hence, x=2 when y=3

Yours in more complex for leaners

Who can prove the almighty formula using this magic formula?

F'(x)=±sqrt(f'(x)^2 -4f(x))

This formula derives the quadratic formula.

Find d area of d region between d curves; y=x^4 & y=2x-x^2.

First we find their point of intersection and ensure that none of d two curves crosses d x-axis bewteen dis pionts of intersection.
x^4=2x-x^2 or
(x^3+x-2)x=0.
Hence, x=0, x=1 are d only real solutions. Equatin each of d given eqns to zero, we obtain; x^4=0 i.e x=0. Then, 2x-x^2=0, x=0 or 2. Hence, none of d two equations crosses d x-axis between x=0 and x=1. So,
area bounded by y=x^4 is;
A1=§x^4dx=x^5/5 limit is from 0 to 1. So, A1=1/5.
Area bounded by y=2x-x^2 is,
A2=§(2x-x^2)dx=x^2-x^3/3 limit is from 0 to 1. Hence, A2=2/3.
So area between d two curves; A=A2-A1=2/3-1/5=7/15 units

Find d eqn of d cicle which passes thru d point (1,1), half a radius of sqr(10)/2 and whose centre lies on d line y=3x-7.
If d centre passes thru d given line, then d co-ordinate of d centre must satisfy d line.
Let d coordinate of d centre b (a,b), then; b=3a-7, the radius r=sqr(10) and d eqn of d circle is;
(a-1)^2+(b-1)^2=10
or substitutin for b gives
(a-1)^2+(3a - 8 ) ^2=10
put a-1=z, then,
z^2+(3z-5)^2=10
or
10z^2-30z+15=0
or
2z^2-6z+3=0
z=[3(+ or -)sqr(3)]/2.
From z=a-1, get a & from b=3a-7, get b.

Substitute for a and b in d eqn of d circle above

What must be d value of k in order that; 2x+y-3=0, kx+3y+1=0, x+y+7=0 may meet in a point. Discuss d cases when k=3 and k=6

d point of intersection of d first and last lines are obtained first. Subtractin their eqns give; x=10 and y=-17. For the second line to satisfy this point, we must have;
10k-3(17)+1=0, or k=52/10.
(i)caseI; if k=3, we have, 3x+3y+1=0 or by dividing thru by 3; x+y+1/3=0. Hence the line is parallel to the third line (since their slope is the same) and is higher the third line (and also the point of intersection) since the intercept is greater.
(ii) caseII; if k=6, then, 6x+3y+1=0 or by dividing by 3, 2x+y+1/3=0. Again, this line is parallel to the first line and is lower, below it.

Find the eqns of d sides of d triangle ABC where A, B, C are d points (5,7), (3,3), (7,1) respectively. Hence, show that the triangles ABC has angles of 90, 45 and 45. Verify this results by finding the lengths of d triangle.

Slope of line AB is (3-7)/(3-5)=2
eqn of line AB is y=2x-3

slope of line BC is (1-3)/(7-3)=-1/2
eqn of line BC is y=-x/2+9/2

slope of line AC is (1-7)/(7-5)=-3
eqn of line AC is y=-3x+22

now, two lines are perpendicular if the product of their slope is -1.
Multiplyin slope of AB and BC we get; 2*-1/2=-1.
Now, d angle between two lines is found from;
tan@=(m1-m2)/(1+m1*m2), where m1 and m2 are the slope of d lines. I dont have calculator, complete the rest.

D length of d tangent from d point (3,2) to d circle x^2 +y^2-2x-3y+k=0 is 9 units, find k.

Centre of d circle, C=(1,3/2).
Length of of given point from center L^2=(3-1)^2+(2-3/2)^2=17/4.
Since d the system forms a pythagorean triangle, the radius is found from;
r^2=17/4-9^2.
This shows that the circle does not have a REAL radius, and so, k cannot be real

thus => $cosx/u *du/cosx

hence we have ln(7+sinx) +C . ...(as expected)
Q4.

B. similarly

C) guess the question is like this

let's use integration by parts (I.B.P)

put u=x^2 ; du =2xdx

dv=e^(3x) dx ; v=e^(3x) /3

by $udv =u.v -$vdu. , we have

x^2 e^(3x) /3 -2/3 $ x e^(3x) dx..............(*)

again let's compute $xe^(3x)dx from. (*) above

set p= x. ; dp = dx

dq=e^(3x)dx ; q=e^(3x) /3

by $pdq = p.q -$qdp ,

we have xe^(3x) /3 - 1/3 $ e^(3x) dx

=>xe^(3x) /3. -e^(3x) /9 ..........(**)

putting (**) in (*) to get the final ans..

=>x^2 e^(3x) /3 -2/3 [ xe^(3x) /3 -e^(3x) /9 ]. + C

Q5
A)

...let p=sin^-1 (2x-1)

Sinp=(2x-1)
Cosp dp=2dx

dx=(cosp dp)/2
∫sin^-1 (2x-1)dx= ∫p(cosp dp)/2= 1/2∫pcosp dp

Using integration by parts
U=p
du=dp

dv=cosp

v=sinp

1/2(p sinp- ∫sinp dp)
1/2(p sinp+cosp)+k

But p=sin^-1 (2x-1), sinp=(2x-1), cosp= √(1-sin^2p)= √(1-(2x-1)^2)= 2√(x-x^2)

1/2((2x-1)sin^-1 (2x-1)+2√(x-x^2))
1/2(2x-1)sin^-1 (2x-1)+√(x-x^2)+k
