    Alternative way of solving this:
    Multiply the first equation by x to get x^2 - 5x + 1 = 0
    Use the abc-formula to find the values of x; they are (5 + sqrt(21))/2 and (5 - sqrt(21))/2
    Check that they are the right solutions: indeed, I don't divide by zero as both roots are nonzero. This check is necessary because in my first step I multiplied with x.
    Note that for either value for x, 1/x is the other value. Because the original equation was symmetric over x and 1/x. So it suffices to add up the 5th powers of both values for x.
    Now compute ((5 + sqrt(21))/2)^5 + ((5 - sqrt(21))/2)^5
    = 1/2^5 * {(5 + sqrt(21))^5 + (5 - sqrt(21))^5}
    = 1/32 * {(1+1)*5^5 + (1-1)*5*5^4*sqrt(21) + (1+1)*10*5^3*sqrt(21)^2 + (1-1)*10*5^2*sqrt(21)^3 + (1+1)*5*5*sqrt(21)^4 + (1-1)*sqrt(21)^5}
    = 1/32 * (2*5^5 + 2*10*5^3*21 + 2*5*5*21^2)
    = 1/16 * (3125 + 26250 + 11025)
    = 40400/16 = 2525

    There are many ways to solve it. I prefer an iterative way. Let Tn be an order of the function Tn=x^n+x^(-n). It can be easily proved (recursive way) that T2n+1=Tn+1*Tn-T1 and T2n=Tn^2-2!. If T1=5, then T2=5^2-2=23; T3=23*5-5=110; T4=23^2-2; T5=110*23-5=2525. So T5 is the solution to the Task.

    You don't need to know any of the intermediate values of x^n + 1 / x^n.
    After a little algebra (expansion of 5th and 3rd powers of (x + 1/x)):
    x^5 + 1/x^5 = (x + 1/x)^5 - 5(x + 1/x)^3 + 5(x + 1/x)
    = 5^5 - 5(5^3) + 5(5) = 2525

  • @richardgurney1844
    @richardgurney1844 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    I brute-forced my way to the correct answer lol - your solution is so easy and elegant ;)
    Brute-force:
    I rewrote the question as (x^10 + 1)/x^5 = ?
    I used the quadratic formula on the first equation to get x = (5 +/- sqrt(21))/2
    I raised this to the 5th power - this required doing some binomial expansion in the numerator. With a calculator I simplified the answer to x^5 = (2525 +/- 551sqrt(21))/2
    Then I squared THAT (which was easier!) and added 1 - this simplified to x^10 + 1 = (6,375,625 +/- 1,391,275sqrt(21))/2
    I substituted my answer for x^5 and x^10 + 1 into the equation (x^10 + 1)/x^5 = ?
    At this point I also had my scientific calculator tell me the prime factors for each number. I then noticed that the monster fraction could be rewritten as (a(a+/-b*sqrt(21))/(a+/-b*sqrt(21))
    That simplifies to just a!!! I had a = 5^2 x 101 = 2,525
    This is the correct answer

    first multiply the 1st eq. by x, => x^2-5x+1=0. (x-5/2)^-(21/4 )=0. x-(5/2)=(sqrt(21))/2 v x-(5/2)=-(sqrt(21))/2 so x=(5+sqrt(21))/2 or x=(5-sqrt(21))/2. now grab your calculator and fill in to get x^5+(1/(x^5))=2525 in both cases

    Notice that x + 1/x = b is equivalent to:
    2cosh(ln(x)) = b (for b >= 2)
    Solving for x, you get x = e^(arcosh(b/2))
    The general solution for x^k + 1/x^k is then trivially 2cosh(k*arcosh(b/2))

  • @Skank_and_Gutterboy
    @Skank_and_Gutterboy 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    This is how I did it: I multiplied both sides of the given top equation by x, which gives you x^2-5x+1=0. Then I solved that quadratic, which gives you x = 5/2 + sqrt(21)/2 and x = 5/2 - sqrt(21)/2. Then I inserted those x-values into the equation x^5 + 1/x^5 = ?, which gives you 2525 for both x-values.

  • @bentels5340
    @bentels5340 2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    Nice one! Nice solution.
    I mean, of course you *CAN* also take the first equation and solve for x, find that x = (5 +/- sqrt(21))/2, then take those terms and their reciprocals, raise them to the power 5 and find 2525 that way.
    But that's just boring, really.... 🤣🤣🤣

    @igorcvetkovic2112 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    much easier way. so take the original equation1 X+1/X = 5 . you can square both sides and reduce to get equation2 X2+1/X^2=23. you can multiply left side of this equation2 with X+1/x and the right side with 5 (since they equal each other) to get X3+(X+1/x)+1/X^3= 23x5 and you replace the X+1/X with 5 so you get equation3 X3+1/X^3=110. now you can multiply the equation3 with equation2 to get (X3+1/X3)(X2+1/X^2)=110x23. multiply and reduce using the above method so you get X5 +(X+1/X)+1/X^5 = 2530 and you know the part in bracket is 5, so then subtract 5 from each side to get X5+1/X^5= 2525

      @gandalfthegray5984 2 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      Yes! Let S(n) = x^n+1/(x^n). Then S(1) = 5 and S(0) = x^0+1/(x^0) = 2. Now if you multiply S(n+1) and S(1) (which is 5), you get S(n+1)S(1) = x^(n+2)+x(1/x^(n+1))+(1/x)(x^(n+1))+1/x^(n+2) = S(n+2) + x(1/x)S(n) = S(n+2) + S(n). Therefore S(n+2) = 5S(n+1) - S(n). Since S(0) and S(1) are both integers, all S(n) with n>1 are integers as well.
      You can use this formula to calculate S(5), you will get the same result 2525!

    My mind is not trained to go where you go on this and many of your problems. Instead of starting with the x^5+1/x^5 as you do, my mind tells me to start with the much simpler looking equation x+1/x=5 and solve that one for x, which ends up giving solutions of x = 2.5 +- sqrt(21)/2. Then, I plug in these values to the x^5 + 1/x^5 expression to get the answer. I'm trying to figure out how your mind figures to initiate these problems in the way you do. Thanks as always.

    @armacham 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    alternative method using the quadratic formula:
    x + 1/x = 5
    notice that x != 0, there are no solutions when x is zero
    so it's safe to multiply both sides by x
    xx + 1 = 5x
    xx - 5x + 1 = 0
    apply the quadratic formula:
    x = (5 +- sqrt(25 - 4) )/2
    x = 2.5 +- sqrt(21)/2
    because we were solving an equation of the form x + 1/x = something, the two solutions by necessity will be inverses
    meaning that 5 + (sqrt21)/2 = 1/ (5 - (sqrt21)/2)
    so x + 1/x = 5/2 + sqrt21/2 + 5/2 - sqrt21/2
    now use that info to calculate x^5 + 1/x^5
    x = (5 + sqrt21)/2
    x^5 = (5 + sqrt21)^5 / 32
    1/x = (5 - sqrt21)/2
    (1/x)^5 = (5 - sqrt21)^5 / 32
    thus x^5 + 1/x^5 = (1/32) * ( (5 + sqrt21)^5 + (5 - sqrt21)^5 )
    it's easy enough to expand the polynomials using pascal's triangle (1 5 10 10 5 1) and calculate the result

    You could have just used the first equation to solve for x first. Then substitute x into the second equation.

    Good afternoon, Sir Teacher! Here's my way of solution.
    Let's introduce sum of fifth powers by the multiplying sums of two following powers. We see that we deal with 5, so it would be better to split it into 2 and 3, because there may hide a value that we know:
    x⁵ + 1/x⁵ = (x² + 1/x²) • (x³ + 1/x³) - (x + 1/x) = x⁵ + x²/x³ + x³/x² + 1/x⁵ - x - 1/x = x⁵ + (1/x + x) + 1/x⁵ - (x + 1/x) = (x² + 1/x²)(x³ + 1/x³) - 5;
    Let's introduce 2nd and 3rd powers by the same way through known value:
    (x² + 1/x²) = x² + 2 + 1/x² - 2 = (x + 1/x)² - 2 = 5² - 2 = 23;
    (x³ + 1/x³) = (x + 1/x)(x² + 1/x² - 1) = 5 • (23 - 1) = 5 • 22 = 110;
    By the way:
    x⁵ + 1/x⁵ = (x² + 1/x²)(x³ + 1/x³) - 5 = 23 • 110 - 5 = 23 • (10 + 1) • 10 - 5 = (230 + 23) • 10 - 5 = 253 • 10 - 5 = 2530 - 5 = 2525;
    That's our final answer ;)
    Answer: x⁵ + 1/x⁵ = 2525;

    So we know a formula:
    a^5 + b^5 = (a + b)(a^4 - ab^3 + a^2*b^2 - a^3*b + b^4)
    Let a = x and b = 1/x:
    x^5 + 1/x^5 = (x + 1/x)(x^4 - x/x^3 + x^2/x^2 - x^3/x + 1/x^4)
    x^5 + 1/x^5 = 5(x^4 + 1/x^4 - (x^2 + 1/x^2) + 1)
    Nice. But what about these quartic and quadratic terms? Can we handle them? Yes we can!
    First, the quadratics:
    (x + 1/x)^2 = x^2 + 1/x^2 + 2x/x = x^2 + 1/x^2 + 2
    5^2 = x^2 + 1/x^2 + 2
    25 = x^2 + 1/x^2 + 2
    x^2 + 1/x^2 = 23 [E]
    And the quartics. Square [E]:
    x^4 + 1/x^4 + 2 = 529
    x^4 + 1/x^4 = 527
    And here we go.
    x^5 + 1/x^5 = 5(527 - 23 + 1) = 5(505) = 2525
    (That's one of the most beautiful answers I've seen in a while)

      Where R is the Ath degree polynomial expansion of Newton without the first and last term (which are, coincidentally, on the other side of the equals sign).

    Too complicated.
    The LHS of the 2nd equation suggests you take both sides of the 1st equation to the 5th power using the binomial expansion.
    Interchanging the two sides, this is:
    5^5 = (x +1/x)^5 = x^5 + 5x^3 + 10 x + 10/x + 5/x^3 + 1/x^5.
    So
    x^5 + 1/x^5 = 5^5 - 10(x+1/x) - 5(x^3 +1/x^3); 5^5 = 3125.
    We know that x+1/x =5, and all that remains is to find x^3 + 1/x^3, which we can get by now instead raising the 1st equation to the 3rd power:
    5^3 = (x+1/x)^3 = x^3 + 3x + 3/x + 1/x^3 = x^3 + 1/x^3 + 3(5)
    and so
    x^3 + 1/x^3 = 5^3 - 3(5) = 125 - 15 = 110
    Then
    x^5 + 1/x^5 = 3125 - 10(5) - 5(110) = 3125 - 50 -550 = 2525.
