xy=27 and logxY + logyX =5/2
find x and y

anyone know the answer?

What exactly do you mean by logxY and logyX? What are capital X and Y?

Sorry I don't understand your notation. Do you mean by logxY=c that x to the power c equals Y (x^c=Y)?

urm im stuck here:

logxY + logyX =5/2

log Y / log X + log X / log Y = 5/2

yah me too
XY= 27
how to find X and Y

ooers...
hrm, i got to this:

log yY / log yX + log xX / log xY = 5/2

1 / log yX + logyX = 5/2

now idk wut to do lorl

ROFL! i am only in year 8 and i know what she means

erm 3x9? basicly if you have 2 letters togther you times them

xy=27
lmao easy
you don't need that thing at the end.

One = 3
One = 9

To find out wich is wich you need to find out from the teacher wat x-y would equal, then you would be able to figure it out.
ie.
x-y = 6

x would = 9
y would = 3

Lol it is simple

When you have letters together in maths you need to times them, so say
x=5 and y=2 so if you had xy it would be xy= 10 or in other words 5 x 2 basicsly putting letts instead of words lol, have you lot not done that yet?

how to do this then ?!

this is not algebra everyone ,is log

ie.
x-y = 6

y would = 3



You wana guess what the second bit is actaly for now?

Theres a reason i droped maths, to much thinking but anyway

Premis
xy=27 and logxY + logyX =5/2

Exsplination
What we know
X*Y = 27

And
logxY + logyX =5/2
5 dived by 2 is 2.5 so

log X Y + log Y X = 2.5

Like boro Got, we can take a guess at what X and Y could be, we then run em threw the second equasion to figure out which is which.

Hypthetoicaly
If
x = 9
y = 3

log9 3 + log3 9 = 2.5

Note: google cant do logorthums, :( i actaly have to think dag nabit

first of
log(3)9 = 2
log(9)3 = 0.5

2.5 is the correct answer no?

Answer

Then
X = 9
Y = 3

theres the answer to your math homework :D

(warning, im prone to dodgy maths and stupid yet obvios errors on the most simplic part of sums so u may wana double check all that

Since google was not doing what i wanted it to, and i dont have a calc on me, and ive never actaly done logorthums before now, i quickly learnt it of here
http://sage.mc.yu.edu/kbeen/teaching/algorithms/resources/logarithms.html
(kinda helped by google for that)

Basicaly all it is, is setting a base then working out what number is needed in that base to give the second number :D


Me and boro posted the same thing lol

Ah ok? just a side effect of me being to lazy to read more than 1 or 2 posts in the thread then :D

I have an easier maths question

FACTORISING QUADRATICS (GRADE C WORK) EASY :)

x = letter x X = Multiply

x (squared) (x X x) - 16x + 63 =




answer down below --------->








Factors of 63 = 1,63 3,21 7,9
x(squared) - 16x + 63
Factors 7,9 add up to 16(x)
Answer = (x-7) (x+9)
Complicated if you dont understand it .

Why exsactly are you posting this if you dont need help with it "/

Plus
