Given is a nonlinear diophantine equation involving radicals that we need to denest. sqrt(x)+y=7 and x+sqrt(y)=11. First investigated by Ramanujan, we use a clever difference of two squares arrangement to factor a number into linear factors, giving us a satisfying solution in the Integers. Enjoy! =D

Proof by not knowing the rigorous method: So if x and y are natural, that means both of them must be perfect squares less than 11. Only options are then 1, 4 and 9. By the "proof of the keen eye" we can tell x and y must be 9 and 4 Q.E.D

That's actually a really great thinking. More precisely, y ≤ 7 and x ≤ 11. Therefore, y ∈ [1,4] and x ∈ [1,4,9]. Because x≠y, these are the only possibilities to consider: x,y = 4,1 or 9,1 or 1,4 or 9,4 From which is easy to see that 9,4 is the solution.

I seem to remember reading about this equation in "the man who knew infinity" (about Ramanujan obv) where a friend of his gave him this problem and Ramanujan quickly noticed that you can easily guess the solution by thinking of small enough perfect squares. He was still a young student at the time.

Here is what I thought: since sqrt x+ y is 7, y must be less than 7. Since I assumed both were perfect squares, this means y is either 1 or 4. Assuming it's 1, looking at the second equation that would make nine 10, which is not a perfect square. But if y is 4, that makes x + 2=11. This makes x 9, which is a perfect square. It works in both equations, so x=9, y=4.
One could make an entire channel just going over Ramanujan's proofs and vibing.

I thought of a fun one to tackle this problem, using the sum of the first N natural numbers. First transform the system by using a = √x and b =√y. Subtract the second equation from the first and you get a^2 - a - (b^2 - b) = 4. Dividing both sides by 2 gives (a^2 - a)/2 - (b^2 - b)/2 = 2, which is the sum of the first a-1 natural numbers, subtract the first b-1 natural numbers. That be a telescoping sum, so we get the sum the natural numbers starting at b + 1 to a - 1 = 2. Then it gets a bit hand wavy, and we can say that 1 + 2 = 3, so that can't be it, so we can try - 1 + 0 + 1 + 2 = 2, which checks out. So we then get b + 1 = - 1 and then a - 1 = 2. Solving and then transforming back, we get x = 9 and y = 4. Ta da!
Srinivasa Ramnujan was one of the figures that Influenced me in my early life to pursue a career in computer science. Despite the restrictions on food, being a stranger in a foreign land,diseases etc. , his passion for math shined through. When we face difficulties in life, it is motivating to think about the difficulties he faced and draw courage and optimism from the sacrifice and example made by Ramanujan.

5:10 I think what you meant was that the integers are a unique factorisation domain (ufd), which means that any element has a factorisation into primes (in the sense of ring theory). You might have confused it with Gauss‘s theorem that the polynomial ring of a ufd is itself a ufd.

If x and y are natural numbers then sqrt(x)-sqrt(y) is not necessarily a natural number so when considering factors of 4 don't you have to consider irrational factors or rule them out somehow?

Solved my own comment. Rearranging Equation 1: sqrt(x)=7-y which must be in natural numbers and Rearranging Equation 2: sqrt(y) =11-x which must be in natural numbers.
So y = woä? Never heard this pronounciation before.
5:19 Correct: stress on second syllable = noun, stress on third syllable = adjective.
I am not sure if my approach was correct, but I attacked this set of equations in a different manner. First, I rearranged first eqn to get y=7-sqrt(x), then I substituted that in to the second eqn, getting x + sqrt( 7 - sqrt(x) ) = 11. Second, I moved the x to RHS, squared both sides. Then isolated sqrt(x), then squared both sides again, getting: x = 49 - 14(11-x)^2 + (11-x)^4 Then I changed signs on both sides, added 11 so that I would get 11-x on LHS, then moved that to the other side. Setting 11-x = t, I got the following quartic polynomial: t^4 - 14t^2 + t + 38 = 0 It can be quickly noticed that t=2 satisfies the above polynomial equation; that factorized into: (t-2)(t^3 + 2t^2 - 10t - 19) = 0 It seems that 3 more real solutions exist (for t), accoring to WolframAlpha, but they are probably of no interest because they are non-integer. I might have made a mistake, though. Coming back from the substitution: 11-x=2 we get x=9 and y=4. I am curious how to tell if such a set of eqns has more than one integer solution. The numbers were nice in this case, but generally a quartic like above migth not be easily solvable, if at all in integers.
"This case right here can 08:41"
Love your content Papa!
interesting I solved the equation using a different method. Rearrange x+ sq root y = 11 to x= 11 - sq root y --> plug this into sq root x +y = 7 to get sq root (11- sq root y) + y = 7 --> minus y on both sides --> sq root (11- sq root y) = 7-y, afterwards square both sides --> 11- sq root y = (7-y)^2 , minus 11 on both sides and open (7-y)^2 --> - (sq root y)= y^2 -14y + 49 -11 --> - (sq root y)= y^2 -14y + 38, then square both sides once more, afterwards minus y on both sides --> y= y^4 -14y^3 + 38y^2 - 14y^3 + 196y^2 -532y+ 38y^2 -532y +1444 --> y^4 - 28y^3 + 272y^2 -1065y + 1444 =0 , I knew this had something to due with polynomial division, however due to me calculating just right as I saw the thumbnail I assumed that there were no natural factors because I knew a bit about Ramanujan, (the fact he was a mathematical genius born into the british raj) so I slapped this shit into symbolab because i assumed that he likes to challenge himself with the wildest shit ever and facepalmed after I received that one of the factors of y were 4. The other answer incase any of you are wondering the other answer that does not include imaginary numbers is y=9.80511.... , x ~ 7.868642

They both have to be perfect squares to produce integer outcomes and 1 clearly doesn't work, so 9,4 is the only solution with x and y both less than 11. In fact with anything from there up to 16 on the right side of either equation you can easily prove whether the solution exists or not and it must be comprised of 9, 4 and 1. Let's say √x+y=n, x+√y=m, m,nn. With constants

@EdwinSteiner

The original two equations imply that if x and y are integers, then sqrt(x) and sqrt(y) must also be integers. The factors in the equation are sums/differences of these and integers, so they must also be integers.
Would this method work ? if x+sqrt(y) = 11 x = 11-sqrt(y) so you can use it above : sqrt(11-sqrt(y))+y = 7 you solve for y then get x by replacing in both originals equations
I just looked at this for like 5 seconds and it just 9 and 4 lol
When I was at high 10 years ago I had solved this question Because it was printed on the back cover of my mathematics book The way I solved this question At first /X=7-Y the power the both side to square X= Y^2 -14Y+49 Then /Y= 11-X and Y^2 = X^2 -22X+121 Then there replace the values Y^2= (Y^2-14Y+49)^2 -22(Y^2-14Y+49) +121 Now I think this equation is very simple to be solved

Fair enough ☠️
Instead of 7 & 11, I wonder if there is a generalised solution for any natural numbers, a & b ?
And now for a "so smart it's dumb" way. Solve for sqrt(x) and plug into the other equation to get y^2 - 14 y + sqrt(y) + 38 = 0. Since sqrt(y) is an integer, it must divide 38 by the rational roots theorem. Out of 1, 2, 19, 38, obviously only 2 works.

found solution by just picking numbers. much easier and faster : we see that SUM is odd number in both cases, so one of numbers should be odd and another should be even, othervise if both odd or both even numbers we will get even number sum. the next hint is numbers are "N" so even number which we are taking square root of should be even number which is dividible by 4 (dunno how to say that correct - my englsih is very bad :) ), so we should get like 4, 16, 36, 64, 100, 144...etc 16 and following by it are too large to fit into equasion cuz if we wont take square root of them they will exceed SUM, so we should out stay with (2)4 pair no matter what will we count as 4 (x or y) the equasion will give us 3(9) on another number, so soulution is 4 and 9

Couldn't we use a substitution for X and y . For example let x=u^2 and y=d^2 . Solving for d gives us a quartic . Since the soloutions are elements of x:x belongs to n then all the soloutions of the quartic equation are factors of the constant e where the quartic equation is in the form of ax^4 +bx^3+cx^2 +dx+e . This gives us only one real natural Soloution . And by plugging it into our d^2 we will get X and y . Am I missing anything regarding the rigour I'm just a high school student so I don't know if I'm missing on sth?
I think you missed the most unintuitive part of this, being that x=9 comes out of any system where the RHSs differ by 4 (and you can pretty easily get y=4 from there). You could replace 11 and 7 with n and n+4 and still get the solution!
