Math Contest #12 [1 SBI + 20 STEM]

in puzzle •  5 years ago  (edited)

Here you can keep your brain fit by solving math related problems and also earn SBI by doing so.
The problems usually contain a mathematical equation that in my opinion is fun to solve or has an interesting solution.
I will also only choose problems that can be solved without additional tools(at least not if you can calculate basic stuff in your head), so don't grab your calculator, you won't need it.

Rules

No upvote, No resteem, No follow required!

I will give 1 SBI and 10 STEM to 1 random person who put a correct solution of the problem in a comment.

The first person who solves the problem will get 10 STEM

Although I can't control it, I would appreciate if you would stake the STEM to support the STEM(Science-Technology-Engineering-Math) community.

You have 48 hours to solve it.

Some additional rules for the case that the problem is an equation or a collection of equations.

In case there are multiple solutions, you have a higher chance of winning if you get all of them correctly.

Solutions can sometimes also be general like x = 20, y > -1. If there are multiple solutions submitted, that are part of the same general solution, they will be counted as one solution.

And one more thing: If there are infinitely many solutions, I only want integer solutions!

It may look hard, because of the many 1/x, …, but they are easy to get rid of.

x=(1±sqrt(5))/2 , y=1
This is way harder than expected so I just started guessing. y=1 is the only way I could get a solution.

Yeah.
The ± makes it look way harder than it actually is.

Just guessing

Answer =xyx

Writing 3 random characters doesn't often lead to the correct result in maths.

Not random though

That doesn't make it right :P
