Given that
\[ x^3+\frac{1}{x^3}=4, \]
find the value of
\[ P=x^6+\frac{4}{x^3}. \]
Given that
\[ x^3+\frac{1}{x^3}=4, \]
find the value of
\[ P=x^6+\frac{4}{x^3}. \]
Let
\[ a=x^3. \]
Then the given equation becomes
\[ a+\frac{1}{a}=4. \]
Multiply both sides by \(a\):
\[ a^2+1=4a. \]
Hence,
\[ a^2-4a+1=0. \]
Therefore,
\[ a^2=4a-1. \]
Since
\[ P=x^6+\frac{4}{x^3}=a^2+\frac{4}{a}, \]
and
\[ \frac{1}{a}=4-a, \]
we obtain
\[ \begin{aligned} P &=a^2+4(4-a)\\ &=a^2-4a+16. \end{aligned} \]
Substitute \(a^2=4a-1\):
\[ \begin{aligned} P &=(4a-1)-4a+16\\ &=15. \end{aligned} \]
\[ \boxed{15} \]
Solve the following equation:
\[ \frac{x^3+6x^2+15x+13}{x^2+4x+7} = \sqrt{x+9} - \frac{1}{x+12}. \]
Since the square root is defined only when
\[ x+9\ge0, \]
we must have
\[ x\ge-9. \]
Next, rewrite the numerator:
\[ x^3+6x^2+15x+13 = (x+2)(x^2+4x+7)-1. \]
Therefore,
\[ \frac{x^3+6x^2+15x+13}{x^2+4x+7} = (x+2)-\frac{1}{x^2+4x+7}. \]
Notice that
\[ x^2+4x+7=(x+2)^2+3, \]
and similarly,
\[ x+12=(\sqrt{x+9})^2+3. \]
Hence the equation becomes
Problem. Find the function \(f(x)\) satisfying
$$ f(x)f(y)-f(xy)-90=\frac{10(x+y)}{xy}. $$Problem. Find the function \(f(x)\) satisfying
$$ f(x)f(y)-f(xy)-90=\frac{10(x+y)}{xy}. $$Solution.
Rewrite the equation as $$ f(x)f(y)-f(xy)=90+\frac{10}{x}+\frac{10}{y}. $$ Assume $$ f(x)=a+\frac{b}{x}. $$ ThenProve that
\[ \frac12\cdot\frac34\cdot\frac56\cdots\frac{2n-1}{2n} \leq \frac1{\sqrt{3n}} \]
Prove that
\[ \left(a_n+\frac{3}{2^{n+2}}\right)^{\frac{1}{n}} \left(m-\left(\frac{2}{3}\right)^{\frac{n(m-1)}{m}}\right) < \frac{m^2-1}{m-n+1} \]
Find the function \(f(x)\) satisfying:
\[ f(x)f(y)-f(xy)-90=\frac{10(x+y)}{xy} \]
Find the function \(f(x)\) satisfying:
\[ f(x)f(y)-f(xy)-90=\frac{10(x+y)}{xy} \]
Solution:
Put \(y=1\), and let \(f(1)=a\).
\[ af(x)-f(x)-90=\frac{10(x+1)}{x} \]
\[ (a-1)f(x)=100+\frac{10}{x} \]
Therefore,
\[ f(x)=A+\frac{B}{x} \]
If \(x_1,x_2\) are the roots of the equation
\[ x^2-x-3=0 \]
Find the value of
\[ A=7x_1^5+19x_2^4 \]
Solution:
Since \(x_1,x_2\) are roots of
\[ x^2-x-3=0 \]
we have:
\[ x^2=x+3 \]
For any root \(x\):
\[ x^3=x(x^2)=x(x+3)=x^2+3x=4x+3 \]
\[ x^4=x(4x+3)=4x^2+3x=7x+12 \]
\[ x^5=x(7x+12)=7x^2+12x=19x+21 \]
