help please ! any idea ???
solve this system \[[x^2 +(x^2 /2y)^2 ]/2y = y-\sqrt{P}\] y^2 = P +x^2 my work : x^2 = y^2 -P x^2 =(y-sqrt(p))(y+sqrt(p)) {(y-sqrt(p))(y+sqrt(p)) +{[(y-sqrt(p)(y+sqrt(p))]/2y}^2 }/2y = (y-sqrt(p)) (y-sqrt(p))(y+sqrt(p)) +[(y-sqrt(p))(y+sqrt(p))/2y]^2 = 2y(y-sqrt(p)) (y-sqrt(p))(y+sqrt(p)) +[(y-sqrt(p))^2(y+sqrt(p))^2]/4y^2 = 2y(y-sqrt(p)) 4y^2(y-sqrt(p))(y+sqrt(p)) +(y-sqrt(p)^2(y+sqrt(p))^2 = 8y^3(y-sqrt(p)) / (y-sqrt(p)) 4y^2(y+sqrt(p)) +(y-sqrt(p))(y+sqrt(p))^2 = 8y^3 4y^3 +4sqrt(p)y^2 +(y-sqrt(p))(y^2 +2sqrt(p)*y +p) = 8y^3 4y^3 +4sqrt(p)y^2 +y^3 +2sqrt(p)y^2 +py - sqrt(p)y^2 -2py -psqrt(p) = 8y^3 5y^3 +5sqrt(p)y^2 -py -psqrt(p) = 8y^3 3y^3 -5sqrt(p)y^2 +py +psqrt(p) =0 any idea to continue it from this ??? @Hero please !
@Vocaloid
@Angle whenever you get a chance, this is a little above my skill level
@Ultrilliam please
@Hero If you can, this is above my teachable skill level
@AngeI @Nnesha please any idea ?
Solution Attempt: (Assuming p is a natural number helps with organizing the terms) Given: \((a)\) \(\dfrac{x^2 + \left(\dfrac{x^2}{2y}\right)}{2y} = y - \sqrt{p}\) \((b)\) \(p = y^2 - x^2\) The solution steps are as follows: 1. Expand \(\left(\dfrac{x^2}{y^2}\right)^2\) to get: \(\dfrac{x^2 + \dfrac{x^4}{4y^2}}{2y} = y - \sqrt{p}\) 2. Multiply top and bottom of big fraction by \(4y^2\): \(\left(\dfrac{x^2 + \dfrac{x^4}{4y^2}}{2y}\right) \left(\huge\dfrac{4y^2}{4y^2}\right)= y - \sqrt{p}\) 3. Distribute: \(\dfrac{4y^2\left(x^2 + \dfrac{x^4}{4y^2}\right)}{4y^2(2y)} = y - \sqrt{p}\) \(\dfrac{4x^2y^2 + x^4}{8y^3}=y - \sqrt{p}\) 4. Multiply both sides by \(8y^3\): \(4x^2y^2 + x^4 = 8y^4 - (8\sqrt{p})y^3\) 5. Factor out \(x^2\) on the LHS: \(x^2(4y^2 + x^2)=8y^4 - (8\sqrt{p})y^3\) 6. This would be a good step to replace \(x^2\) with \(y^2 - p\) from equation \((b)\): \((y^2 - p)(4y^2 + y^2 - p) = 8y^4 - (8\sqrt{p})y^3\) \((y^2 - p)(5y^2 - p) = 8y^4 - (8\sqrt{p})y^3\) 7. FOIL (I hate FOIL but would rather FOIL than do distributive property in this instance: \(5y^4 - (6p)y^2 + p^2 = 8y^4 - (8\sqrt{p})y^3\) 8. Combine like terms to get: \(3y^4 - (8\sqrt{p})y^3 + (6p)y^2 - p^2 = 0\) The extra \(-p^2\) is what makes it inconvenient to continue solving this.
If you can think of a way to get rid of that \(-p^2\) I can finish solving it @jhonyy9
Actually, there may be a way. Completing the square might work. I'll try that next.
completing the square using what terms ?
do you think getting a square perfect using every terms ?
Yeah, I don't know if it will really work.
The first three terms.
If we can express the first three terms in some form of a square binomial then we will finally be able to solve it completely
That is assuming all my steps up to this point are correct.
i think that are correct bc. i ve cheked step by step
Because in actuality, we can factor \(y^2\) from the first three terms to get:
\(3y^4 - (8\sqrt{p})y^3 + (6p)y^2 - p^2 = 0\) \(y^2(3y^2 - (8\sqrt{p})y + 6p) - p^2 = 0\)
Notice that now \(3y^2 - (8\sqrt{p})y + 6p\) is a quadratic trinomial that we can complete the square with.
Our goal is to eventually get some form of \(a^2b^2 - p^2 = 0\) which we can then express as \((ab)^2 - p^2 = 0\) Then then use difference of squares to express the result as \((ab + p)(ab - p) = 0\) Then use the zero product property afterwards: \(ab + p = 0\) and \(ab - p = 0\)
first term is ((srt3)y)^2 and the last one is (sqrt(6p))^2
You're losing me there bro. That's not the approach I'm taking with this. I don't immediately resort to roots if I can avoid them.
i understand you but i ve thought a square perfect in this form (a-b)^2
Yes it is. It can be some form of that. But again, you don't need to resort to rooting the coefficients to get there. All you need to do is complete the square on the quadratic trinomial.
When you complete the square you add \(\left(\dfrac{b}{2}\right)^2\) to both sides
I realize this may not work because we may end up with an extra term we don't need.
Yeah, nevermind that idea.
this -(8sqrtp) can we getting in this necessary form of -2ab ? so -2*4sqrtp when we know that the first term is ((sqrt3)y)^2 and the last one is ((sqrt6)p)^2
using formule (a-b)^2 = a^2 -2ab +b^2
i think dont function bc. srt3*srt6 =sqrt18 =sqrt(9*2) = 3sqrt2
now using this terms we get -3sqrt2p when we need getting -8sqrtp
I don't like this use of roots. I don't solve using those methods.
If you want to solve it that way, be my guest.
ok - but than what my be your idea that can using here ?
I'll have to get back to you on that.
I'll have to toy and play around with it a bit more. But if there really is a way to solve it, I'll figure it out.
ok thank you but i will try again than i get any idea - but i wait your way too - so than not in this night (here) sorry - there is afternoon - yes ? so than tomorow
I'll get back to you as soon as I can. Maybe tomorrow who knows.
ok - great - thank you -
@Hero than we consider this 3y^2 -(8sqrtp)y +6p = 0 a quadratic in yso we get delta -the discriminant smaler than zero ,i ve got discriminant equal -8p so in this case this mean that has complex roots - yes ? than how can we factoriz it in a square perfect ?
bc we know again that p is a natural number greater than zero
