This dude you are been dishonest. And its getting childish. You posted a problem and Akin claimed there was an easier way to solve IT (meaning that particular problem) without taking squares. He challenged you to come up with an easier method but you didn't. Then he posted his method which (compared to the taking of squares is far easier and does not require writing anything down). He even asked you to figure out the simple criteria for discarding non-solution pairs in the counting - and you could not figure it out. Now, it appears you are trying to say he claimed something he never did. Akin never said his method will yield non-integer solutions. He made it clear that IF an integer solution exists his method can find it faster than taking squares. Have you forgotten that, those of us on this thread a math lovers and we are following the thread very closely? Learn when/how to move on. It will serve you well in life. You lost this bout, just live to fight another day. Bro. lipsrsealed

FisifunKododada:


lol how much is this one going for? You people u na no dey tire? Even the Akin that is the seminal subject of discourse has moved on. But come to think of it Cacawa - didn't Akin say (several times) that his quick/fast method will yield an integer solution IF one exists? So, why are you making it sound like he said his method was some 'almighty' formula? I think you are been dishonest here and its very obvious. Many of us are paying close attention to this thread because its fascinating - so trying to fool people with this passive aggressive lies won't work. smiley

Who says this one will not yield an integer answer??

Ahhhhhhhh!!!!

So you want to use my method to find the answer and see if it actually an integer, before knowing whether your "counting" method will work??


And you call that an intelligent less than. One minute solution?

I thought you were gonna just count from 1 to 56, then when you notice that integers won't work, you then use my method.... I thought that was a very "creative" solution.

Lol.

I know you guys agree with me ... I'm just catching my fun replying you guys

CACAWA:

Lol you really believe he solved that in less than a minute?
Yes - cos I tried it and I figure it out in about one and a half minute.

CACAWA:

Okay here you go, solve this in less than one hour, using same method.
√(x) + √(x+17) = 56
You still don't get it. Akin's method is the easiest/fastest to find an INTEGER solution IF one exists. Knowing that an INTEGER solution DNE is itself knowledge I did not have before counting. Then you can now use squaring both sides to solve for the solution (s) that exist. That is the genius we are talking about here not mindlessly punching numbers in calculators/taking squares etc. without thinking. tongue

Lol...That pride won't let him agree that his "trial and error" method will take him absolutely no-where in life.

Okay let's even address the chicken and rabbit question...

Replace the word chicken with "a 4.5kg box" and the word rabbit with "a 2.4kg box"

Now let them use that method of carrying legs up and down again.

exactly.... any reasonable mathematician would agree that counting method used by akin is just mere play.....should I say just to show another method...cos in the end one would still use the conventional method before using the so called "counting method"

AkinPhysicist:
cool

Solution
Using simple logic: Imagine the animals all raise one leg. When this is done, there will be a total of 80 – 28 = 52 legs visible. Then imagine each of the animals raising a second leg, then there will be 52 – 28 = 24 legs left. Since the chickens have only two legs, all the 24 legs must belong to the rabbits. Now since the rabbits have already raised two legs, then each of the rabbits must be contributing 2 legs to the 24. Therefore there are 24 divided 2 = 12 rabbits. Therefore, since there are 28 animals in total, then there are 28 – 12 = 16 chickens.

Format mathematics method:
Let X be the number of Chickens and Y be the number of Rabbits. Here is the formal mathematical approach.
X + Y = 28 (1)
2X + 4Y = 80 (2)

Multiply eq.1 by 4:
4X + 4Y = 112 (3)
Subtract eq.2 from eq. 3:
2X = 112 – 80 => 2X = 32 => X = 16 therefore Y = 28 – 16 = 12.
