Yeah, bruv; it's been a while, I have been watching from the sidelines... A lot of new generals on the thread! Nice work you guys have been doing... I hail you bruv!

emmyeuler1: i have two solutions but i'll start wit d easier one. Let # denote "congruency" then since 3^x+4^x=5^x, 4^x#5^x(mod3) or by Fermat's Little theorem (4^x)^2#(5^x)^2#1(mod3), i.e 4^2x#5^2x#1(mod3) or 16^x#1(mod3) and 25^x#1(mod3) so by FLT, x must divide @(3)=3-1=2 Euler's phi function, i.e x|2 hence either x=1 or 2 but since 1 does not satisfy the eqn, x=2,

Even nondeterministic polynomial (NP) method can be used.
x = x1 - f(x1)/f'(x1)

3^x + 4^x = 5^x
3^x + 4^x - 5^x = 0
f(x) = 3^x + 4^x - 5^x
from polynomial:
f(x1) = 3^x + 4^x - 5^x
let x1 = 2
f(2) = 3^2 + 4^2 - 5^2
f(2) = 9 + 16 - 25
f(2) = 0
:. x = 2 is a factor

f'(x) = 3^xIn3 + 4^xIn4 - 5^xIn5
f'(2) = 9In3 + 16In4 - 25In5
f'(2) = 9.89 + 22.18 - 40.24
f'(2) = -8.17

i.e x1 = 2, f(2) = 0 and f'(2) = -8.17. . . .substituting into the formula above:
x = 2 - 0/-8.17
x = 2 + 0
x = 2

busuyem: Pls, help me with the solution of this question with its explanation:

The difference between the digits of a two-digit number is 1. The number itself is 1 more than 5 times the sum of its digits. If the units digit is greater than the tens digit, find the number.

Re: Nairaland Mathematics Clinic by rhydex247(m): 11:25am On Oct 04, 2013
from benbuks question integral [sqrt(1+(sqrtx)]/x dx
SOLUTIION.
FOR THE INTEGRAND [SQRT(SQRTX)+1]/Xdx
by substitution method
let u= sqrt(x) , x=u^2
du/dx=1/2sqrt(x)..... dx=2sqrt(x)du
integral [sqrt(u+1)*2sqrt(x) ]du/u^2
recall that sqrt(x)=u
integral [sqrt(u+1)*2u] du/u^2
2 integral sqrt(u+1)du/u
For the integral sqrt(u+1)du/u.... substitute s=sqrt(u+1)... ds/du= 1/2sqrt(u+1).....du= 2sqrt(u+1)ds...... from s=sqrt(u+1).... s^2=u+1.....s^2-1=u
2 integral s(2s)ds/s^2-1........2 integral2s^2ds/s^2-1.......4 integral s^2ds/s^2-1......
For the integrand s^2/s^2-1, do long division we have this
4 integral [1+1/2(s-1)-1/2(s+1)]ds
4 [integral ds +1/2 integral ds/(s-1) -1/2 integral ds/(s+2)]
4s+2ln(s-1)-2ln(s+1)+C
put back s = sqrt(u+1). we have
(4sqrt(u+1))+(2lnsqrt(u+1)-1) - (2lnsqrt(u+1)+1)+C
substitute u=sqrt(x)
we have
4sqrt[sqrt(x)+1]+2lnsqrt[sqrt(x)+1]-1 -2lnsqrt[sqrt(x)+1]+1 +C
which is equivalent to
4sqrt[sqrt(x)+1] -4tanh^-1[sqrt[sqrt(x)+1]. all is well.

Find the square root of the expression.
(x^2+3x+2)(x^2+4x+3)(x^2+5x+6)
Re: Nairaland Mathematics Clinic by dcitizen1: 4:03pm On Oct 04, 2013
@rhydex, solution to a^2 + b^2 = 4ab, evaluate a +b/a-b

a^2 + b^2 = (a + b)^2 -2ab

Thus, 4ab = (a+ b)^2 - 2ab
(a + b)^2 = 6ab
(a +b) =sqr (6ab)

But (a -b)^2 = a^2 + b^2 -2ab
(a-b)^2 =4ab -2ab=2ab
(a -b) = sqr (2ab)

Thus, (a +b)/(a-b) = sqr (6ab)/ sqr (2ab)
=sqr(3). Simple.

Re: Nairaland Mathematics Clinic by dcitizen1: 4:07pm On Oct 04, 2013
simplify sqr (6 +sqr (6 + sqr(6+ to infinite)))

Note sqr mean square root.
Re: Nairaland Mathematics Clinic by dcitizen1: 4:17pm On Oct 04, 2013
@benbuks

X^2 + 3x+ 2 = (x+ 1)(x+ 2)

X^2+4x+3 = (x +1)(x+3)

X^2 + 5x + 6 = (x+ 2)(x+ 3)
sqr ((x^2 +3x 2)(x^2 +4x 3)(x^2 + 5x+ 6))=sqr((x +1)^2 (x+ 2)^2 (x +3)^2)
=(x+1)(x+2)(x +3)
Re: Nairaland Mathematics Clinic by rhydex247(m): 4:37pm On Oct 04, 2013
@ benbuks
recall that x^2+3x+2=(x+1)(x+2)
x^2+4x+3=(x+1)(x+3)
x^2+5x+6=(x+2)(x+3).
the sqrt[(x^2+3x+2)(x^2+4x+3)(x^2+5x+6)]= sqrt[(x+1)(x+2)(x+1)(x+3)(x+1)(x+2)(x+3)].
which implies sqrt[(x+1)^2(x+2)^2(x+3)^2]= (x+1)(x+2)(x+3)
=x^3+6x^2+11x+6.
Re: Nairaland Mathematics Clinic by emmyeuler1: 4:43pm On Oct 04, 2013
d citizen:
simplify sqr (6 +sqr (6 + sqr(6+ to infinite)))

Note sqr mean square root.
LET x=\/6+\/(6+\/(6+....=\/6+\/(6+\/(6+\/(6+...
then,x^2=6+\/(6+\/(6+\/6+...
x^2=6+x
x^2-x-6=0
x^2-3x+2x-6=0
x(x-3)+2(x-3)=0
(x-3)(x+2)=0
therefore,x=3 and the other root is a complex root is not considered

Solve 4^x = 8x
Re: Nairaland Mathematics Clinic by emmyeuler1: 5:10pm On Oct 04, 2013
d citizen:
Solve 4^x = 8x
4^x=8x
2^(2x)=(2^3)x
take logarithm of both sides
log2^(2x) =log2^3 +logx
2xlog2=3log2 +logx
2xlog2-3log2=logx
log2(2x-3)=logx
2(2x-3)=x
4x-6=x
3x=6
x=2
Re: Nairaland Mathematics Clinic by rhydex247(m): 5:13pm On Oct 04, 2013
@ d citizen
4^x=8x
solution
using newton raphson iterative method
f(x)=4^x-8x
let x1=2
f(2)=0 hence x=2 is a factor
f'(x1)=4^xln4-8
f'(x1)=4^2ln4 - 8
f'(x1)=14.181
recall the formula
x=x1-f(x1)/f'(x1)
where x1=2, f(x1)=0 and f'(x1)=14.181
x=2-0/14.181
x=2.

@emmyeuler1 ur solution to the problem 4^x = 8x show dat u re no a math general but a math major. Look log2(2x -3) = (2x-3)log 2

Or log2 (2x -3) =log2^(2x-3) stop dat ur wuru to the answer. Your solution to the problem is wrong.
