helo sir/madam
can u help me to solve this problem
solve the following simultaneous equation
logx Y+logy X=5/2
xy=64
Hello! I'd be happy to help you solve the simultaneous equations.
Let's start with the first equation:
logx y + logy x = 5/2
To solve this equation, we can use the property of logarithms:
loga b + loga c = loga (b * c)
Applying this property to our equation, we can rewrite it as:
logx y + logy x = logx (y * x)
Next, let's solve the second equation:
xy = 64
We have two equations, so we can use substitution to solve the system of equations.
From the second equation, we can solve for one variable, let's solve for x:
x = 64 / y
Now, substitute this value of x into the first equation:
log(64/y) y + logy (64/y) = log(64/y) (y * (64/y))
Simplifying:
log(64/y) y + logy (64/y) = log(64/y) (64)
Next, we can use logarithmic properties to simplify the equation further:
y * log(64/y) + x * log(64/y) = log(64/y) (64)
Since we know that x = 64/y, we can substitute this value into the equation:
y * log(64/y) + (64/y) * log(64/y) = log(64/y) (64)
Now, let's simplify the equation even further:
log(64/y) (y^2) = log(64/y) 64
At this point, we can eliminate the logarithms on both sides of the equation:
y^2 = 64
Taking the square root of both sides, we find:
y = ±8
Substituting the value of y back into the second equation xy = 64:
x * 8 = 64
x = 8
Therefore, we have two possible solutions for the simultaneous equations:
Solution 1: x = 8, y = 8
Solution 2: x = 8, y = -8
I hope this explanation helps you understand how to solve the simultaneous equations! Let me know if you have any further questions.
