Dear All,

Please solve it. First of all, this equation was solved by the great mathematician Ramanujan.

1. Solve this equation:
√X + Y = 7
X + √Y = 11

This equation is very interesting. Please try to solve it mathematically. 🤔

With Warm Regards,

Answer is X=9 and y=4 but solve it mathemaically.I mean what is the process... Cool Nishi

Yar, it's again mathematically. In the first equation, if we put numbers only 9 for x and 4 for y, and the same in the second equation. Yar, I know there might be other ways to solve the equation, but in competition, you need to solve problems quickly.

Hi Gent,

I know the value of X and Y in this equation. But I want the mathematical proof. Please note that first of all, this equation was mathematically solved by the great mathematician Ramanujan after regular work of 17 days on the same equation.

One of my collegues Ms. Varalakshmi has solved the equation. Find your answer below
Let: .u = √x . → . x = u²
. - - . . . . ._
Let: .v = √y . → . y = v²
Substitute: . u + v² .= . 7 -[1]
. . . . . . . . . u² + v .= .11 .[2]
From [1], we have: .u .= .7 - v²
Substitute into [2]: . (7 - v²)² + v .= .11
. . which simplifies to: .v^4 - 14v² + v + 38 .= .0
. . which factors: .(v - 2)(v³ + 2v² - 10v - 19) .= .0
. . and has the rational root: .v = 2
Substitute into [1]: . u + 2² .= .7 . → . u = 3
Therefore: .x = u² = 9, . y = v² = 4

My solution: 🧐🔗🔗🔗🔗

I just received the question and attempted to solve it. I obtained two real values of x, two imaginary values of x, and four real values of y. I only considered the real values.

Thank you

Let:

Equation Setup

Let:
\[ x = \tan^2 \theta \]
\[ y = \sec^2 \theta \]

1) \(\tan \theta + \sec^2 \theta = 7\)

2) \(\tan^2 \theta + \sec \theta = 11\)

Solving Equation 1

Take 1):
\[ \tan \theta + \frac{1}{\cos^2 \theta} = 7 \]

Solve it, and you will get:
\[ 7\sin^2 \theta + \sin \theta - 6 = 0 \quad (A) \]

Solving Equation 2

Now, similarly, take equation (2) and solve it.
You will get:
\[ 12\cos^2 \theta - \cos \theta - 1 = 0 \quad (B) \]

Solving Equation A

Taking equation (A):
Let:
\[ \sin \theta = t \]

\[ 7t^2 + t - 6 = 0 \]

Solve it, and you will get:
\[ t = -1 \text{ or } t = \frac{6}{7} \]
\[ \sin \theta = -1 \text{ or } \sin \theta = \frac{6}{7} \]

Solving Equation B

Now, take equation (B) and do similarly as equation A:
\[ 12\cos^2 \theta - \cos \theta - 1 = 0 \]

Solve it as above:
\[ \cos \theta = \frac{1}{3} \text{ or } \cos \theta = -\frac{1}{4} \]

Since the cosine value exists in the 3rd quadrant, not negative, \(-\frac{1}{4}\) is not possible. Therefore:
\[ \cos \theta = \frac{1}{3} \]

The sine value exists in the 3rd quadrant, not positive, so:
\[ \sin \theta = -1 \]

Final Calculation

Now,
\[ \tan \theta = \frac{\sin \theta}{\cos \theta} = -1/\frac{1}{3} = -3 \]
\[ x = \tan^2 \theta = (-3)^2 = 9 \]

Put in equation 1:
\[ y = 4 \]

Therefore:
\[ x = 9 \text{ and } y = 4 \text{ is the answer.} \]
