      Yeah, except when algebra has a rule that says that you have to pretend that an equation has more solutions than it does because of multiplicities. They should get rid of that rule. Imaginary numbers may be useful, but I’m not sold on multiplicities being the same.

      @@MrJasbur1 it's not that deep. multiplicity just means when you factor the polynomial, the factor is written twice. for all intents and purposes, the equation has 4 solutions, but it still has 6 factors, 2 of them just appear twice.

    I would have to go check my old abstract algebra textbooks to find the exact way it's described, but if I remember correctly, for any prime p, you have (x+y)^p=x^p+y^p for all x and y when considering over the field Z_p. The trick is to realize that for a prime, all the binomial coefficients in the expansion of the left hand side are a multiple of p, except the first and last (which are always one). Since p~0 in that field, all the extra terms simply disappear. Granted, the solution over the complex numbers given here is the best interpretation of the problem when given without a more specific context, but it's nice to know that there really is a context where the naive student's thought that (x+y)^2=x^2 + y^2 actually does hold.

  • @trankiennang
    @trankiennang 4 месяца назад +3

    I think i have a general solution to this kind of equation: (x+n)^n = x^n + n^n ( n is natural number, n > 1).
    Divide both side of equation by n^n. We will have (x+n)^n / n^n = x^n / n^n + 1 which is equivalent to (x/n + 1)^n = (x/n)^n + 1.
    Let t = x/n, then the equation will become (t+1)^n = t^n + 1. So now we will focus on solving t
    It is easy to see that if n is even then we just have one solution is t = 0 and if n is odd then t = -1 or t = 0. The main idea here is show that these are only solutions.
    So let f(t) = (t+1)^n - t^n - 1
    Case 1: n is even
    f'(t) = n.(t+1)^(n-1) - n.t^(n-1)
    f'(t) = 0 (t+1)^(n-1) = t^(n-1)
    Notice that n is even so n-1 is odd. Then we have t+1 = t (nonsense)
    So f'(t) > 0. Thus f(t) = 0 has maximum one solution. And t = 0 is the only solution here.
    Case 2: n is odd.
    We have f''(t) = n(n-1).(t+1)^(n-2) - n(n-1).t^(n-2)
    f"(t) = 0 (t+1)^(n-2) = t^(n-2)
    Notice that n is odd so n-2 is odd
    Then we have t+1 = t (nonsense again)
    So f"(t) > 0 which leads us to the fact that f(t) = 0 has maximum two solutions. And t = 0 and t = -1 are two solutions.
    After we have solved for t, we can easily solve for x.

Not quite obvious. Especially with the 7th degree, that incomplete square squared, looks overwhelming, I'd say 😅

    I generalised this for n is odd. Tried doing it for n is even and couldn't get anywhere 😩
    Solve for x in terms of n if (x + n)^n = x^n + n^n and n ∈ Z^+.
    Case 1 - n = 1
    :
    →x + n = x + n
    There are no valid solutions for x.
    Case 2 - n is odd and n ≥ 3:
    →(x + n)^n - x^n - n^n = 0
    After looking at n = 3, 5, 7 and so on, we notice a pattern:
    →(n^2)*x*(x + n)*(x^2 + nx + n^2 )^((n - 3)/2) = 0
    →x = 0, x = -n
    For x^2 + nx + n^2 = 0
    , where n > 3:
    →x = (-n ± √(n^2 - 4n^2 ))/2
    →x = (-n ± n√3*i)/2
    If anyone can provide a generalisation for n is even, then please reply to my comment 😊

      @harley_2305 3 месяца назад +3

      That doesn’t work because on the right hand side you have x^7 + 7^7. You can’t take a root in this form because that would basically be saying root(x+y) = root(x) + root(y) and we can test that doesn’t work by just plugging in numbers such as 4 and 5. root(4 + 5) = 3 but root(4) + root(5) ≈ 4.236 so by counter example the root of the sums is not equal to the sum of the roots hence you can’t cancel out powers of individual terms by taking the root of the whole thing, the whole thing would need to be raised to a power for you to be able to if that makes sense.
