Adol16: Maths gurus pls help me solve the simultaneous equations

x + y =5
x^x + y^y=31
You call this a simultaneous equations? What sort of simultaneous equations is this?

Richiez: This thread is the meeting point for nairaland maths gurus...i dare you all to ask me a question in mathematics without me having an answer to them, LETS START

What is 2+2 (no calculator)
Re: Nairaland Mathematics Clinic by biolabee(m): 1:14pm On Jan 03, 2013
Can any mathematician here solve this simple question:

You are about to play a dice game where you are paid 5 naira each time you roll an odd number. You are allowed to roll the dice five times. A friend tells you that the die used is biased such that even numbers are twice as likely to appear as odd numbers. Based on this information, what is the maximum amount you would pay to play this game?

Interesting question but Id like to clarify your last statement
How much you be paid or how much you will pay

P(an odd number) = 1/9 based on the even number bias being double (1 + 2+ 1 + 2+ 1+ 2 =9 )
P(rolling 5 odds straight) = (1/9^5)
Expected value = 5^5 = 3125 which is the best u can get

However there are combinations which mean u can get sth for less than 5 odd nos
Which will be the probability of 1 less all even numbers

I leave it for more clarifications
As the probs are endless and the expected value minute

dabrake:
that's something about mathematics. I believe people say 0/0 = undefined because it can give you any value. Take for instance.

0/0 = (81 - 81)/(81 - 81) //81-81=0
=[(9 + 9)(9 - 9)]/9(9 -9) // 81 - 81 = 92 - 92(law of difference of 2 squares)
=(9 + 9)(9 - 9)/9(9 -9)
=(9 + 9)/9
= 2

now saying 0/0 = 12
0/0 = (144-144)/(24-24) // 144-144 =0 ; 24-24 =0
= (122-122)/2(12-12)
= (12+12)(12-12)/2(12-12)
= (12+12)/2
= 12


You see, you can always get any answer. Deceptive subject

Brother mathematics is not deceptive, because you can't get any constant value for a particular real number i.e a/b is what makes it UNDEFINED. Unlike 2/4=1/2, 0/0=undefined.

there's no iota of lie in what you've posted though that doesn't mean we will ask the op some z transforms, fourier series, power series or any time consuming question from any of mathematics numerous topics. Just 'play' it. Enjoy.

s=ut+0.5(a)t^2,s=t(u+0.5at),t=s/(u+0.5at),t^2=s/(U+0.5a), therefore t= sqrt of (s/(U+0.5a))

The highlighted above seems a paradox( my opinion o no vex)

Please rephrase this question you haven't asked it properly. (Family food = X,Living cost = Y) Therefore IF X -10% & Y + 15% Find fractional increase =

My questn about d proof on integraldomain and fields is yet to be answered
Re: Nairaland Mathematics Clinic by Nobody: 2:24pm On Jan 03, 2013
Thumbs up guys for the good job. I studied pure maths in unilag and I must say that my life has been the better for it. For all those who have the passion for maths I encourage you to study it in school and learn to make your passion work for you. Maths forms the base of all science and engineering courses so it's very easy to convert to other professions. A lot of my colleagues work in banks, audit firms, marketing firms, oil and gas, telecoms, food and beverages etc

I remember in 300 and final year I rarely used my calculator cos most of the courses we did were theoretical and used more of x, y and z rather than numbers. Then I was so sure Prof Olaleru was making up some of the stuff he taught us. So you can imagine how surprised I was to find all those pure maths principles embedded in stuff I do at work.

What am just trying to tell you all who want to know if it's worth their time to study maths or stats the answer is yes, especially if your a natural guru. All the maths gurus in my class spent more time playing games than reading, in maths once u know it you know it and unless your ecturer na witch, there is no way he wants to set his questions that u will not answer it and get method mark. grin

truman u are a demon cheesy

a + b + c = 8
(a+b+c) ^2 = 64
====> a2 + b2 + c2 + 2(ab+ac+bc) = 64
====> hence ab+ac+bc = 48/2 = 24 ------------(1)


(a+b+c)^3 = 512
a3+b3+c3+ 3a(b2+c2+ + 3b(a2+c2) + 3c(a2+b2) + 6abc = 512

I only need one more equation
product of abc

This question is funny, if we assume a, b, c to be whole numbers then question is wrong. Why?
a^2+b^2+c^2=16
a, b, c can either be -1, -2, -3 or 1, 2, 3 given dat 4 go be fu.ckup. I am still solving oooooo......... a, b, c have to be fractions...
