Mbahchiboy: cause from d ques.
x^5-32=0..
so (-2)^5-32=-64
and dat makes it invalid
You seem to be right sha. I did it by inspection. It's better if one leaves it as (x - 2) (x^4 + 2x^3 + 4x^2 + 8x + 16) then.

Mbahchiboy: @ortarico
how did u obtain those values of x after dividin d equ by x-2 to get a new one.
and i dont think x can b -2
By also factorizing the quotient: (x^4 + 2x^3 + 4x^2 + 8x + 16)
Why do you think it can't?

i want it to b express d way i express sinhx and coshx
Wow, fine!
Though I only have the basic knowledge of its concept, can it be that way?

Mbahchiboy: to my generals plz help me out
(1)if
coshx=1+x^2/2!+x^4/4!....,
sinhx=x+x^3/3!+x^5/5!.....,
find tanhx?
(2)find x if x^5-32=0
[hint::x must have five root e.g a,b,c,d or e]
2. To your second question:
To find the factors of x^5 - 32 = 0, solve x^5 = 32
x^5 = 2^5
x = 2
Therefore, (x - 2) is a factor of (x^5 - 32)
Now simply divide (x^5 - 32) by (x - 2) using long division and you'll get:
(x^5 - 32) = (x - 2) (x^4 + 2x^3 + 4x^2 + 8x + 16)

But (x^5 - 32) should have five values which you denoted to be a, b, c, d and e
:. Further factorization gives their values to be:
(x - 2), (x + 2), (x - 2), (x + 2) and (x - 2)

Hmmmm. . .
1. Your first question demands to be proved using Euler's formula for identities and hyperbolic functions (e^x).
If coshx = 1 + x^2/2! + x^4/4!. . .
Sinhx = x + x^3/3! + x^5/5!. . .

Euler's identity (e^x) for coshx = (e^x + e^-x)/2
sinhx = (e^x - e^-x)/2
:. Tanhx would be = sinhx/coshx
=> (e^x - e^-x)/2 / (e^x + e^-x)/2
=> (e^x - e^-x)/2 * 2/(e^x + e^-x)
=> (e^x - e^-x)/(e^x + e^-x)

So tanhx = (e^x - e^-x)/(e^x + e^-x)

The prof after the order of Sir Isaac Newton. Yes, you're right. It's otherwise called the nondeterministic polynomial , it's used for solving transcedential equations.

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

honey: changing the question to logarithimic form....we have [x+1]log5=[x2-1]log3, expanding the bracket and moving the LHS to the RHS,.....log3.x2-log5x-log15.... seeing that this is a quadratic equation, we use formula method.... x= (log5+_([log5]2+4.[log3*log15])1/2)/2log3....x= (0.6990+1.6532)/0.9542 or (0.6990-1.6532)/0.9542....... x= 2.4651 or -1
You tried bro, x is equal to -1 as its first value but not 2.4651 as second! And mind you, it should be done without using tables or calculator.

honey: the question can be translated on a right angled triangled, since tan-1[x/y]=y/x, we can see that the right angled triangle has an angle of (y/x)o, opp=x, adj=y and hyp= -\|(x2+y2)....... the question can be restructured as tan[y/x]- x/y =0, differentiating implicitly, we have -1/y-sec2(y/x) + dy/dx(1/x.sec2(y/x)+x/y2), going back to our right angled triangled triangled triangle, we will see that sec2(y/x)= (x2+y2)/y2, replacing it in the equation.......dy/dx(2x2+y2)/xy2= (2x2+y2)/x2y, cross and multiplying yields. dy/dx=(xy2)/(x2y)...dividing,....dy/dx= y/x
