Question Number 14742 by Mr Chheang Chantria last updated on 04/Jun/17

x+y=(1/8) (x)^(1/4) +(y)^(1/4) =1 solve system

$$\boldsymbol{{x}}+\boldsymbol{{y}}=\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{8}} \\ $$$$\sqrt[{\mathrm{4}}]{\boldsymbol{{x}}}+\sqrt[{\mathrm{4}}]{\boldsymbol{{y}}}=\mathrm{1} \\ $$$$\boldsymbol{{solve}}\:\boldsymbol{{system}} \\ $$

It is easy to verify that (1/(16)) + (1/(16)) = (1/8) and ((1/(16)))^(1/4) + ((1/(16)))^(1/4) = 1 Hence x = y = (1/(16))

$$\mathrm{It}\:\mathrm{is}\:\mathrm{easy}\:\mathrm{to}\:\mathrm{verify}\:\mathrm{that}\:\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{16}}\:+\:\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{16}}\:=\:\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{8}} \\ $$$$\mathrm{and}\:\sqrt[{\mathrm{4}}]{\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{16}}}\:+\:\sqrt[{\mathrm{4}}]{\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{16}}}\:=\:\mathrm{1} \\ $$$$\mathrm{Hence}\:{x}\:=\:{y}\:=\:\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{16}} \\ $$

Let (x)^(1/4) =p and (y)^(1/4) =q ⇒ { ((p^4 +q^4 =1/8)),((p+q=1)) :} ⇒((p^4 +q^4 )/(p+q))=(1/8) ∧ (p^4 +q^4 )(p+q)=(1/8) ⇒((p^4 +q^4 )/(p+q))− (p^4 +q^4 )(p+q)=0 ⇒(p^4 +q^4 ){(1/(p+q))−(p+q)}=0 p^4 +q^4 =0 ∨ p+q− (1/(p+q))=0 p^4 =−q^4 ∨ p+q= (1/(p+q)) x=−y ∨ (p+q)^2 = 1 p+q= ±1 p+q=1 is what we have been given! hahahaa.. I reached at the starting point again!!! p+q=−1 is extraneous(?) Oh no I′ve gained something x=−y But this is again in contradiction to the given (x+y=1/8) !!! Continue
