    It can be solved directly by the binomial expansion of (x+y)⁵
    (x+y)⁵ = x⁵ + 5x⁴y + 10x³y² + 10y³x² + 5xy⁴ + y⁵
    x⁵ + y⁵ = (x+y)⁵ - 5x⁴y - 10x³y² - 10y³x² - 5xy⁴
    x⁵ + y⁵ = (x+y)⁵ -5xy(x³ +2x²y +2y²x +y³)
    x⁵ + y⁵ = (x+y)⁵ -5xy((x+y)³ -x²y -y²x )
    x⁵ + y⁵ = (x+y)⁵ -5xy((x+y)³ -xy(x+y))
    x⁵ + y⁵ = 2⁵ -5*3(2³ -3*2)
    x⁵ + y⁵ = 32 -15(8 - 6)
    x⁵ + y⁵ = 2

    I went a slightly different route -- I used Newton' binomium. You expand (x+y)^5, then (x+y)^3, then you are left with a bunch of terms you can express in terms of (x+y) and xy. Fill in the values et voilá, it solves itself.

      I did this as well. The video presents a solution the requires insight.. how would mere mortals come up with the FOIL to begin with? Bang out the binomial of the fifth power, collect the terms with the same constant, factor out the xy or (xy)^2, do the same with the sum of cubics, and done.

    • @Herfuage
      @Herfuage 2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Details for this :
      (x+y)^5 = x^5 + 5x^4y + 10x^3y^2 + 10x^2y^3 + 5xy^4 + y^5 with Newton's formula.
      So x^5 + y^5 = (x+y)^5 - 5xy(x^3 + 2x^2y + 2xy^2 + y^3).
      The only annoying part is the last factor, but as suggested we are close to (x+y)^3 = x^3 + 3x^2y + 3xy^2 + y^3.
      Indeed x^5 + y^5 = (x+y)^5 - 5xy(x^3 + 3x^2y + 3xy^2 + y^3 - x^2y - xy^2)
      So x^5 + y^5 = (x+y)^5 - 5xy((x+y)^3 - xy(x+y)) = 2^5 - 5*3*(2^3 - 3.2) = 32 - 15*2 = 2.

      By the way: It's even true if you use electrical complex calculation for e.g. an alternating current. If you have a capacity in the circuit, the phase shifted current ("blind-current") isn't any less "real" than the real part. :-) and we can certainly measure it using a scope. I'm just playing with names here; in complex number theory we just use "real" and 'imaginary' to have a clear notation of which cartesian corordinate of the number I want to point to.

    • @helgefan8994
      @helgefan8994 2 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      @@chixenlegjo Hi!
      I don't see why you're getting an arctan in there, but here's how I got the exact solution:
      Substituting the second equation into the first one, I get
      x+3/x = 2
      multiply with x on both sides
      x^2 - 2x + 3 = 0
      so x = 1 +- sqrt(-2) = 1 +- sqrt(2) * i
      Then using equation 1 to get y, we get
      y = 2-x = 2 - (1 +- sqrt(2) * i) = 1 -+ sqrt(2) * i
      So x and y are complex conjugates of each other, and we can simply continue with
      x = 1 + sqrt(2) * i
      y = 1 - sqrt(2) * i
      Swapping x and y doesn't make a difference here.
      Now we square x:
      x^2 = (1 + sqrt(2) * i)^2
      = 1 + 2 * sqrt(2) * i + 2 * i^2
      So with i^2 = -1 we get
      x^2 = -1 + 2 * sqrt(2) * i
      And square it again:
      x^4 = (x^2)^2 = (-1 + 2 * sqrt(2) * i)^2
      = 1 - 4 * sqrt(2) * i + 8 * i^2
      x^4 = -7 -4 * sqrt(2) * i
      Now multiply with x to get
      x^4 * x = x^5
      = (-7 -4 * sqrt(2) * i) * (1 + sqrt(2) * i)
      = -7 -7 * sqrt(2) * i -4 * sqrt(2) * i - 8 * i^2
      So
      x^5 = 1 -11 * sqrt(2) * i
      Doing the same with y (or simply thinking about it geometrically), we get
      y^5 = 1 +11 * sqrt(2) * i
      So x^5+y^5 = 2
      :)

  • @matthewkoveleski9131
    @matthewkoveleski9131 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    I substituted y=2-x into xy = 3. I had to complete the square and got (x-1)^2 + 2 = 0. Therefore x=sqrt(2)*i + 1. Substituting back into the original equation you get y= -sqrt(2)*i + 1. Then I used Pascal’s triangle to know that x^5/y^5 would have coefficients 1 5 10 10 5 1. When you substitute your x and y values into this equation all the odd numbered exponents cancel out and you’re left with 10*(sqrt(2)*i)^4 + 20*(sqrt(2)*i)^2 + 2 = 40 - 40 + 2 = 2
    I liked how you solved it in the video. It was really clever. Someone would need to be very skilled in mathematics to look at that problem and solve it the way you did.

      This is the most common mistake I've did. Don't solve for x and y separately. Instead, manipulate and play around with the polynomial to find. Let's start with a simple case: If x+y=2 and xy=3, what is x^2 + y^2? You can rewrite x^2 + y^2 as (x+y)^2 - 2xy, of which you can substitute both x+y and xy because it was given. They are getting easier if you know this trick.😀

    After a lot of correcting algebra mistakes I got the answer using basically the same method he used. This is one of a big family of problems he's presented where a key (or the key) is to use (x+y)^n = x^n+y^n+... .
    I also tried just solving the two given equations for x and y which leads to a quadratic that has complex solutions x=1+sqrt(2)i, y=1-sqrt(2)i, and the second solution with the +- signs reversed. I believe by symmetry they both give the same answer for x^5+y^5. After some complex arithmetic you get the same solution to the problem as by the first method. Both seem to be comparable in their level of tediousness.
    I see that others have come up with this too but when you solve it on your own you want to take credit for that. (smile emoji)

    Note the recurrence relation
    x^n + y^n = (x+y)(x^(n-1) + y^(n-1)) - (xy)(x^(n-2) + y^(n-2))
    Define f(n) = x^n + y^n and a = x+y and b = -xy, and rewrite
    f(n) = a f(n-1) + b f(n-2)
    In this example, f(1) = a = x+y = 2 and b = -xy = -3. Also
    f(2) = x^2 + y^2 = (x+y)^2 - 2xy = 2^2 - 6 = -2
    Thus the sequence a=2, b=-3 becomes
    f(1) = 2
    f(2) = -2
    f(3) = -10
    f(4) = -14
    f(5) = 2
    Or in terms of the original problem
    x^5 + y^5 = 2.
    In general, every second degree recurrence relation can be summarized with a quadratic equation. Let x and y be the positive and negative solutions x+ and x- to a quadratic. (I can't do subscripts here, as I'd prefer.) Then
    (x - x+)(x - x-) = x^2 - (x+ + x-)x + (x+x-) = x^2 - Sx + P = 0
    x+/- = (x+ + x-)/2 +/- Sqrt ( (x+ + x-)^2/4 - (x+x-) ) = S/2 +/- D,
    where sum S = x+ + x-, product P = x+x- and discriminant D^2 = (x+ + x-)^2/4 - (x+x-) = S^2/4 - P. Then
    (x+/-)^2 = S^2/4 + D^2 +/- SD
    The general recurrence relations are
    x+^n +/- x-^n = (x+ + x-)(x+^(n-1) +/- x-^(n-1)) - (x+x-)(x+^(n-2) +/- x-^(n-2))
    or
    (x+/-)^n = (x+ + x-)(x+/-)^(n-1) / 2 +/- (x+x-)(x+/-)^(n-2) / 2
    = f(n)/2 +/- D g(n)
    where f(1) = x+ + x- = S, f(2) = (x+ + x-)^2 - 2(x+x-) = S^2 - 2P, g(1) = 1 and g(2) = x+ + x- = S. Then
    f(n) = x+^n + x-^n
    2D g(n) = x+^n - x-^n
    In the given example,
    S = 2
    P = 3
    D^2 = S^2/4 - P = -2
    D = i Sqrt(2) (complex)
    f(1) = S = 2
    f(2) = S^2 - 2P = -2
    g(1) = 1
    g(2) = S = 2
    a = S = 2
    b = -P = -3
    The characteristic quadratic
    x^2 - Sx + P = 0
    x^2 - 2x + 3 = 0
    The solution
    x,y = S/2 +/- D = 1 +/- i Sqrt(2)
    x^n,y^n = f(n)/2 +/- D g(n)
    f(n) = x^n + y^n
    2D g(n) = x^n - y^n
    I already gave the first five f(n) sums. Here are the first five g(n) differences divided by 2D, with the same a=2, b=-3.
    g(1) = 1
    g(2) = 2
    g(3) = 1
    g(4) = -4
    g(5) = -11
    In the case x+ = Phi = (1+ Sqrt(5)) / 2 and x- = - 1/Phi = (1- Sqrt(5)) / 2, S = -P = a = b = 1 and 2D = Sqrt(5).
    x^2 - x - 1 = 0
    f(n) = L(n) = the Lucas sequence (L(1) = 1, L(2) = 3)
    g(n) = F(n) = the Fibonnaci sequence (F(1) = F(2) = 1)
    These musings can be generalized to more than two variables (x and y or x+ and x-) with the Girard-Newton identities.

    Since (x+y) is a factor of x^n+y^n for any odd positive n,
    So, x^5 + y^5 = (x + y) ( [ x^4 + y^4 ] - xy [ x^2 + y^2 ] + (xy)^2 ) = 2 ([ -14 ] - 3 [-2] + (3)^2 ) = 2 (-14 + 6 + 9) = 2x1 = 2 . Simple. Right ?

      x = 1±sqrt(-2). Due to to the inability to take the root of a negative number, this result is an "imaginary" solution for x. You will then get y = the conjugate of x. Then, amazingly, when you plug through the formula for x^5+y^5, the imaginary parts go away and you are left with a real solution.

Solve for x: x=1+sqrt(2)i or 1-sqrt(2)i. Now that you have x's, solve for y's: y=1-sqrt(2)i or 1+sqrt(2)i. Insert x's and y's into x^5+y^5 and you get two answers that are the same: 2.

    x^2 + y^2 = -2 therefore, x and y are on the circle, which radius is (square root of 2)*i. Another words, this circle has a range from - (square root of 2)*i to + (square root of 2)*i.
    thus, x =(square root of 2)*i*cosA and y = (square root of 2)*i*sinA
    and x.y =(square root of 2)^2*(i)^2*cosA*sinA = -2*(cosA*sinA).
    Maximum of cosA*sinA is 1/2, when cos2A=0, or A is 45 degrees, or 225 degrees...
    And Maximum of -2*(cosA*sinA) is 1 (when A is 135 degrees, or 315 degrees).
    Therefore in this case, any |x.y| > 1 is invalid.
    x.y = 3, No solution.
    Also, x^2 + y^2 = -2, meaning, either x is an imaginary number, or y is an imaginary number, or both are imaginary numbers.
    Then how come x^5 + y^5 is real number?

    Cool but a bit cumbersome. From x^2 + y^2 = -2 you see that the answer needs to be complex. Because of the xy symmetry, x and y are conjugate,. Their real part needs to be 1 (from x + y = 2) and their magnitude sqrt(3) (from (xy = 3) and thus the imaginary part +- sqrt(2), So we have x = 1 +i*sqrt(2), y = 1 - i*sqrt(2).

      the system of equations (x + y) = 2 and (xy) = 3 has no (real) solution. Which is why other commenters talked about no solution existing in the real space R, but the solution does exist in complex space C. See the comment by Oren Ben-Dov for an explanation of how to find the roots. With the solution being the ordered pair (1±i√2, -1±i√2), then you have to brute force your way through foiling both of those messy irrational complex numbers four times without losing track of numerous ±n√2i and since I am too lazy to try it out by hand I don't even know if they will all cancel out easily.

    How X^2+Y^2=-2?

    It is not specified in the statement of the exercise, no more in explanation, but S ∉ ℝ. In fact, x²+y² = -2 have no solution in ℝ. So S ∈ ℂ. In this case x=1+i√2 and y=1-i√2

    It is important said that x,y are part of complex set, because they have solution find real values only for the operation itself. Something is wrong in the common sense when you figure out x2 + y2= -2, I could fell that something is wrong since x2+y2>=0, x,y E Real set.

    my solution is
    let t(n)=x^n +y^n
    And I found out t(n)=t(n-1)*t(1)-xy* t(n-2)
    to use this sequence, I need first find t(1) and t(2) which is simple
    Then follow the sequence and find t(5)

    From eq.I and II there is no solution with Real Number. If you draw graphs of these equations, they will not be bisected.

    If x and y are real numbers, then the x⁵ + y⁵ has no solution.

      @@diedoktor Which means the answer is UNREAL after going through all the trouble of using REAL algebra to come up with a solution.
