    takes all of 3 seconds to solve by simple inspection: xy=35, the only factors of 35 that aren't trivial are 5 and 7. Checking 7^2-5^2 = 49-25=24. x=7, y=5. Similarly works with -7 and -5, so the answer is 12 or -12. No imaginary numbers necessary as far as I can tell.

    Solvable by inspection. 35 is nearly prime, it only has 5 and 7 as prime factors. So x,y = 35, 1 or 7, 5. x+y = 12. ps. forgot -7,-5 as solns.

    When squaring both sides of an equation, it is possible to introduce solutions that do not satisfy the initial system equations. Although for this particular system of equations, this will not change anything, imho it would be better practice to check the final result with the initial system of equations

    Actually, if you keep solving for x and y, you will see that the solutions are x = 7, y = 5; x = -7, y = -5; x = 7i, y = -5i; x = -7i, y = 5i All 4 solutions satisfy xy = 35, but while the first two solutions satisfy the other equation, the last two do not. This is exactly because of the squaring process. @LKLogic please check.

    Alternatively, multiply the first eq by x^2 => x^4 - x^2*y^2=24*x^2 => x^4 - 24x^2 - (xy)^2=0 now plug xy=35 into this => (x^2)^2 - 24x^2 - 35^2 = 0 Note that this could be factored as follows: (Try looking at the factors in 35^2= 5*5*7*7 to find two numbers from this the difference of which would be 24 => You will find 5*5 and 7*7) => (x^2 - 49) (x^2+25) = 0 => x^2 = 49 or x^2=-25 You can take it from here that x can be either +7 or -7 which makes x+y +12 or -12.

    If you define x + y ≡ k, you can consider that x and y are solutions of the following equation: X^2 - (x+y) X + xy = X^2 - kX + 35 = 0. So you can get x - y = √(k^2 - 140) by solving this equation. You can obtain x^2 - y^2 = (x + y)(x - y) = k √(k^2 - 140) = 35, which means k = ±12, ±2i. This problem is basic level for Japanese high school students.

    I am a little surprised that one would be expected to just know 5476 is 74^2, although I suppose in a test problem one might guess that it would be a perfect square and it would not take long to find the square root, but, as several Commenters remark: one can see by eliminating y that there are four solutions expected since a quartic for x results. Since by inspection {x,y} ={7,5} and {-7,-5} are obviously solutions, it takes little more thought to realise that similarly {5i,-7i} and {-5i,7i} are the others and the results for x+y follow.

  • @nando9723

    6 ай бұрын

    Here’s how I did it. You can see that 5476 is a factor of 4 and so split it up into 4*1369. Then it’s a matter of finding the square root of 1369. This is clearly between 900 & 1600 and a square number only ends in 9 if the square root ends in 3 or 7, therefore if 1369 is a square number then the square root is either 33 or 37. Since it’s closer to 1600 than 900 that suggests it could be 37^2. It doesn’t take long to try calculating 37^2 by hand and it turns out that it is indeed 1369! Therefore 5476 = 4*1369 = (2)^2 * (37)^2 = (2*37)^2 = 74^2 :)

Also U = Z^2 = (X+Y)^2 = X^2 + Y^2 + 2XY, subtracting the previous equation from this gives 4XY = U - 576/U, U^2 - 140U + 576 = 0. Observing that 576 = 144*4 we can factorise to get (U - 144)(U + 4) = 0, i.e. U = Z^2 = 144 or -4. Only 144 gives the real answer Z = X+Y = 12.

    The question doesn't say X and Y are integers.. Therefore it's wrong to get X=7 and Y=5 immediately.

    As an engineer I find all the math amusing. There are only two integers that are factors of 35. Why do so much algebra when the answer is right there? 😮 Oh wait, this is an olympiad and the easy way would be wrong...

    Yes, the square root symbol is used for the principal root (the positive one when referring to real numbers); she didn't use the notation correctly. But her solutions are correct nonetheless because we're dealing with quadratic equations which in this case yield one positive and one negative solution.

    35 = 7 X 5 So x times y = 7 times 5 x^2 - y ^2 = (x +y)(x-y) = (7+5)(7-5) = 12 times 2 = 24 so x + y = 7 + 5
