Am still expecting solution to 3^x + 4^x = 5^x
Re: Nairaland Mathematics Clinic by rhydex247(m): 6:35pm On Oct 01, 2013
@ d citizen
i have the solution to ur questiön 3^x+4^x=5^x. Buh is a graphical solution which indicate dat x=2. I dnt knw hw to paste it ön nairaland.

@ d citizen.
From y=x^x^x. dy/dx=x^x^x[x^x(lnx+1)lnx+x^x/x]. Now y=x^(x^x^x).
take log of both sidés.
lny=lnx^(x^x^x).
lny=x^x^xlnx.
d/dx(lny)=d/dx(x^x^xlnx).
dy/dx(1/y)=udv/dx+vdu/dx. Take u=x^x^x du/dx=x^x^x[x^x(lnx+1)lnx+x^x/x]. And v =lnx dv/dx=1/x.
dy/dx=y[x^x^x/x+lnx(x^x^x[x^x(lnx+1)lnx+x^x/x].
now recall that y=x^x^x^x. Therefore dy/dx=x^x^x^x[x^x^x/x+lnx(x^x^x[x^x(lnx+1)lnx+x^x/x].
similarly for y=x^(x^x^x^x) Take log of both sides.
lny=x^x^x^xlnx
d/dx(lny)=d/dx(x^x^x^xlnx). Take u=x^x^x^x du/dx=x^x^x^x[x^x^x/x+lnx(x^x^x[x^x(lnx+1)lnx+x^x/x]. And take v=lnx dv/dx=1/x . Using product rule. We av
(1/y)dy/dx=x^x^x^x/x+lnx(x^x^x^x[x^x^x/x+lnx(x^x^x[x^x(lnx+1)lnx+x^x/x].
dy/dx=y[x^x^x^x/x+lnx(x^x^x^x[x^x^x/x+lnx(x^x^x[x^x(lnx+1)lnx+x^x/x]]. But y=x^x^x^x^x. Therefore dy/dx=x^x^x^x^x([x^x^x^x/x+lnx(x^x^x^x[x^x^x/x+lnx(x^x^x[x^x(lnx+1)lnx+x^x/x]]). For easier understanding let y=X^x^x^x^x.
u=x^x^x^x.
v=x^x^x.
w=x^x. Hence
dy/dx=yu/x+uvy[(w(lnx+1)lnx]+w/x+w/x. All is well.

Rhydex the solution to 3^x + 4^x = 5^x can be done analytically and graphically. What i need from is the analytical solution since u claim to be a five star math general

Mathematics is not as daunting as it seems,it's all about following simple rules.Repeated use of these rules builds your understanding and confidence .

Please help me solve dis question.... 5/12 of a number is subtracted from 3/4 of the number. The positive difference is 7 less than 5/6 of the number. Find the number
Re: Nairaland Mathematics Clinic by busuyem: 8:41am On Oct 03, 2013
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.

Fetus: X+y =5
x^x + y^y=31.......find x and y....
...it's obvious that the answer is (3,2) or (3,2) as (x,y)...but if it's of no simple root...use newton raphson method...that x'=x-f(x)/f'(x)...i also heard that the great newton was unable to solve the question

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,

Differentiate y= x^x^x^x^x to infinte with respect to x . I pose dis question to the math general
...y=x^x^x^x^x to infinity...which gives y={x^(x^4)}^infinity....but x^4*infinity=infinity...then,y=x^infinity...dy/dx=infinity.x^infinity-1...dy/dx=infinity.x^infinity...since infinity-1=infinity...then dy/dx=infinity...

Use fermat last theorem (FLT)..TO solve It..

busuyem: Help solve dis o-the numerator of a fraction is 5 less than its denominator.if 6 is added to the numerator and 4 to the denominator,the fraction is doubled.what is the fraction?Pls, help me out with this:

...let the denominator be x...since the numerator is 5 less than the denominator...then the original fraction is (x-5)/x...but the question continues that 6 is added to the numerator and 4 to the denominator...then (x-5+6)/(x+4)...which is equal to 2 times the original equation{(x-5)/x}...then (x+1)/(x+4)=2(x-5)/x...multiply through by x(x+4){which is the same as cross multiplication} to give x(x+1)=2(x-5)(x+4)...x^2+x=2x^2-2x-40...x^2-3x-40....x=8 or -5...since the original equation is (x-5)/x...substitute 8 which gives 3/8 OR substitute -5 which gives 2

Okay here it is,
Let the Number be X.
(3/4)X - (5/12)X = (5/6)X - 7
Collect like terms
(3/4)X - (5/12)X - (5/6)X = -7
-(6/12)X = -7
-(1/2)X = -7
X= 14
