no it only shows you testing those numbers to confirm they are right.

How did you arrive at 2 and 3

How did you arrive at 2 and 3[/quote]X^y +Y^x =17.................(1)
X +Y =5..........................(2)

Now,
17 =2^3 +3^2
hence,
X^y +y^x =2^3 +3^2............(3)
comparing both sides of (3), we found:
x=2, y=3 or y=3, x=2(ans)

i said.....How did you get to 2 and 3. Did you use any analytical methods like logarithms or did you use trial and error as follows:

Let x and y be 2 and 3,

Hence, replacing them in both equations, we can agree that x and y are actually 2 and 3.

Which approach did you use?

because 17 can be expressed as the sum of two powers

not analytical method though

It's not that difficult

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
If you test y=2, (5 - y) ^(5 - y) + y^y = 3^3 + 2²= 27 +4 = 31.
So y = 2 or 3.
If y = 2, x + y =5 ➡ x + 2 = 5 ➡ x = 3.
So we have 2 answers:
x=2 when y=3, and x =3 when y = 2.

Re: Nairaland Mathematics Clinic by Icosahedron(m):
Given that
sinA + sinB = x and
cosA + cosB = y

To solve this systems of equations. Sqaure both systems to obtain

sin²A + 2sinAsinB sin²B = x² (*)
cos²A + 2cosAcosB + cos²B = y² (**)

adding we obtain

2 + 2(sinAsinB + cosAcosB) = x² + y²
or
2 +2(cos(A-B)) = x² + y²

*** cos(A-B) = (x² + y² - 2)/2

Complete the solution thankyoujesus and you shall obtain similar argument for tan(A-B) and use the half-angle identity to obtain the value of tan(A-B)/2 and then proceed to solve the original problem.

Icosahedron:
Given that
sinA + sinB = x and
cosA + cosB = y

find the values of cos(A+B)/2 and sin(A+B)/2

and hence or otherwise, evaluate tan(A+B)/2
use

sin A + sin B = 2sin((A+B)/2) cos((A-B)/2)) = x

cosa + cosb = 2cos((a+b)/2) cos((a-b)/2) = y

divide
x/y = tan((a+b)/2)

use knowledge of right angled triangle and Pythagora's to complete it.

Please I need urgent solution to this math problem.
Using first principle derive ex
y = e^x
dy = e(x+dx) - ex
dy = e^x (e^dx - 1)
dy/dx = e^x ( e^dx - 1)/ dx

take limit as dx approaches zero
dy/dx = e^x

please pay no attention to wrong use of letter.

I stated the one for cos above.

sina - sinb = 2cos((a+b)/2) sin((a-b)/2)
