      This equation has a problem because :
      1225= 7^y =5^x and this is equal to 35^2 so (7x5)^2 . Then √(7^y) x √(5^x)= 7^2x5^2 so the only solution is y=4 and x=4 or, x≠y because 7^y=5^x . However, with my method we of course fall back to xy/x+y=0.5 I got stuck on it for an hour, please tell me if there is another solution than x=4=y.

    hi. Thanks for your problems, explanations and solutions. I solved this one using logarithms. x =ln (1225) / ln (5) ; y = ln (1225) / ln(7) . then i had to use 7*5 = 35 and 35² = 1225. my ending was xy / (x+y) = ln(1225)/ln 35) = 2 ln(35) / ln (35) = 2.

      you can solve it even faster if you do not use common base as: xy/(x+y) = log5(1225)*log7(1225)/(log5(1225)+log7(1225)) :)

  • @Gargaroolala
    @Gargaroolala 2 ปีที่แล้ว +7

    I used logarithm! I first realized that the RECIPROCAL of xy/x+y is x+y/xy = 1/x + 1/y.
    x = lg 1225/lg 5. y = lg 1225/lg 7.
    1/x + 1/y = lg 5/lg 1225 + lg 7/lg 1225 = lg 35/lg 1225.
    (Since 1225 = 35 x 35), 1/x + 1/y = lg 35/(lg 35^2) = lg 35 / (2 lg 35) = 1/2.
    Taking reciprocal of 1/2 to obtain answer to original equation = 2.

  • @user-tt7wu2zh7h
    @user-tt7wu2zh7h 2 ปีที่แล้ว +13

    I have found another way to solve this.
    1225=7^2•5^2
    So knowing 5^x=7^y=1225, dividing first by 5^2 gives us 5^(x-2)=7^2
    Put every number in this sequence to the y’th power and you get 5^y(x-2)=7^2y
    Now replace 7^y by 5^x as it is equal. We now are left with the equation 5^(yx-2y)=5^2x . Since the base is the same we have a^c=a^d and we know that c=d or in this case xy-2y=2x
    Now set the 2y to the other side and we have xy=2x+2y or xy=2(x+y)
    Thus we know that x+y is half xy so xy/x+y= 2

    I took this way: (5^x) ^y=1225^y; (7^y)^x=1225^x, so we have
    5^(xy)*7^(xy)=1225^(x+y) and finally
    35^(xy)=35^[2*(x+y)]. Consequently, we obtain the result in easy way.

  • @crustyoldfart

    I think we can move to the final answer by noting that 1/x + 1/y is the same as ( x + y ) / ( x*y ) and that 1225 = 5^2 * 7^2 and the result follows quickly.

    i use logarithm for this but i simplify that
    (log_5(1225)log_7(1225))/(log_5(1225)log_7(1225))
    Since y = xlog_7(5)
    Then substitute to equation
    (log_5(1225)^2 log_7(5))/(log_5(1225)+log_5(1225)log_7(5))
    Factor the denominator first
    (log_5(1225)^2 log_7(5))/log_5(1225)(1+log_7(5))
    (log_5(1225)log_7(5))/(1+log_7(5))
    log_5(1225) × log_7(5)/log_7(35)
    log_5(1225) × log_35(5)
    2log_5(35) × log_35(5)
    2 × log_35(35)/log_35(5) × log_35(5)
    2 × 1 = 2
    More harder if you use the logarithm to get the approximate value 😂

    Let 5^x=7^y=1225 be equal to k
    K=5^x, 5=k^1/x, 7=k^1/y
    We can see that 1225=7²•5², by substituting the valus of 7 and 5 we get that 7²•5²=k^2/y•k^2/x and this is equal to 5^x or 7^y which is equal to k so we get:-
    K=K^2/y•K^2/x=K^2(x+y)/xy
    => k=k^2(x+y)/xy, hence 1/2=x+y/xy, so xy/x+y=2... Please pin this easy method🙏🙏

      I would use logarithms too. The solution presented in the video requires that we see ahead that 1225 is the square of 35 and that we could manipulate the given data to get a base of 35 on the other side of the equation. Using logarithms requires not intuition or 'seeing ahead.'

    • @Skank_and_Gutterboy
      @Skank_and_Gutterboy 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Me too. Taking the logarithm route, the expression simplified down to log(1225)/(log(5)+log(7)). Punching that into a scientific calculator, it equals 2. It's a good problem, not too difficult but it takes you back to fundamentals.

    Yesssssssssss. I got it, very nice. I really like this question with a very simple answer
    Edit: I think that I solve in a more easy way. I used logs, so x = log_5 (1225) and y = log_7 (1225). 1225 = 5² × 7², so I use this to brake the logs for x and y using the log properties to get x = 2 + 2 log_5 (7) and y = 2 + 2 log_7 (5). After this, just put the x and y in the xy/(x+y), do the distribution for xy and you can simplify nicely at the end.

      This is way easier.
      BUT
      This is for math olympics. There you are only allowed to use what you already had in school. If you use anything else you have to proof it.
      So I guess it was for 8 or 9 graders. Otherwise it would be way to easy for math olympics

    Since I felt 1225 lies between 5^5 and 5^4, I considered x as 4.5 and similarly for y as 3.5 approximately. Subs x as 4.5 n y as 3.5, I got the final answer as 2. Something like (9/2*7/2) /(9/2+7/2). Solved within 2 mins. Is it fine?

    I started with an invert. If z=?answer, then 1/z=1/x + 1/y= log 5/log 1225 +log7/log1225=(log5+log7)/log1225= log35/(2*log35)=1/2=>z=2

  • @jorgemarioochoabarrera8375

    I made it different: 1225 =(7)²(5)². Then 5^x=(7)²(5)²=>5^x-2=7²=>x-2=(log5(7))2=>x=2(log7/log5+1). Same logic for Y. After calculate X and Y and change them in xy/(x+y), the answer is 2. Sorry if this is bad written, I speak spanish.

    Hi. Thanx for this nice example to this general statement:
    Let a and b be positive real numbers, let n be a natural number and and let x be unequal -y.
    Then it always follows from the equation a^x = b^y = (a*b)^n
    that x*y / (x+y) = n.
    Proof: Same solution that PreMath showed us with a=5, b=7, n=2.

    • @Gilmoy
      @Gilmoy 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yes, it generalizes. In fact, we have 5^x = 5²7², so x ln 5 = 2 ln 5 + 2 ln 7, and x = 2 (1 + ln 7/ln 5).
      To generalize, let r = ln 7/ln 5. Then x = 2(1 + r), and by symmetry, y = 2(1 + 1/r).
      Now, the pair X = (1 + r) and Y = (1 + 1/r) have the curious property that XY = X+Y, and thus XY/(X+Y) = 1, for any r ≠ 0, and this is independent of x, y, logs, exponents, and 1225.
      Hence, this could be worth memorizing for any prospective taker-of-future-Olympiads.
      Generalizing beyond this specific instance, if we had x = kX, y = kY for any k ≠ 0, then xy/(x+y) = k²XY/k(X+Y) = k.
      Finally, for this problem, we have k = 2.

  • @VCLegos

    Answer=2
    I did it differently
    1225= 35^2
    5^x =35^2
    (5^x)^1/x = (35^2)^1/x raised both to the power of 1/x
    5 = 35^2/x
    7^y= 35^2
    (7^y)^1/y) =(35^2)^1/y raised both to the power of 1/y
    7=35^2
    5 x7 =(35^2/x)(35^2/y) =35^2/x+2/y multiply both equation and m^n x m^q= m^n+q
    35^1 = 35^2/x +2/y
    1 = 2/x +2/y equate the exponent
    1 = 2(1/x +1/y) factor out 2 on the right side of the equation
    1/2 = 1/x +1/y) divide both sides by 2
    1/2 = (y +x)/xy add the right side of the equation
    xy =( x+y)2
    xy/x+y =2 Answer if (n+m)/nm= 1/p then nm/(n+m)= p

    Hi. There is an easier way. 1225 is the 35². And 35 is 7*5. 5^x*7^y=1225^2. So basically you get that both x and y are equal to 4. Then xy/x+y=16/8=2

  • @diablo3165

    Sir u can do it in another way...
    Here it is given that 5^x=7^y=1225...
    First we check that 1225=5^2*7^2...
    So we can write in this way:- 5^x*7^y= 1225*1225.
    i.e. 5^x*7^y= 5^4*7^4.
    i.e x=4, y=4 ( comparing the powers of both 5&7).
    Then we can write xy/(x+y)= 4*4/(4+4)= 2
