Okay here is what my brain is telling me. I can't quite figure out what you did but tell me if my thought process is wrong.
and are the two equations, we want to know what x and y values in each equation give us perfect square answers. To do that we have to make both equal to a perfect square. Like you said earlier n^2 and m^2, but n^2 and m^2 are just constants. This means we can use any number but we cannot say that one or both of the equations are equal to a certain number per se, so we have to make them equal to an expression? Like (x)^2, but we already have an x^2 so we need to find a better expression like correct? So now we can saywhy are we using
Is that the definition of a perfect square? Could we have used
Okay I know that both equations are equal so we can probably just worry about solving for one of them.
Now:
n is just a constant? Correct? So,
???Hmmm,
I got 4 variables and only 2 equations. No progress I'm afraid.
My image didn't post?
Did the same for the other equations. Since x in the first equation should be equal to y in second equation then:
I know it is wrong???? And I don't care if I look stupid anymore I just want to learn this stuff. Please help!
Hi,
I am a student working on my BA degree in Mathematical Sciences. Up until about a year ago I thought I was pretty good in math because I usually got an A grade in my classes. However, I am realizing that I am probably the least knowlegable and least experienced Mathematician out there. So I have joined this forum and others to get help and practice and hopefully experience.
Looking at the question above I first thought that the two equations are identical. So if we solve for the first equation then we technically solved both equations. So if our answer for the first equation was X=16 then we know that Y=16 in the second equation. Now, I don't even know how to solve for the first equation. I can't even begin, if you can give me a hint... I will show you an effort on my end but what method should I consider?
How do I set: x^2 + 3y = perfect square?
Thanks again and I truely apologize for my behavior earlier.
My apologies. I do indeed have a bad temper and will try and refrain myself from displaying it in the future.
Thats your explanation? I think I got the wrong forum later!!
How did you solve this? can you please explain? I don't want to use computer program to solve how can I solve myself. If not possible then what is the thought process when inputting into computer program?
