If u differentiate at the right triangle square law thing, removing the powers, then raise from e as powers removing ln , then solve the quad eqn u get 3/2 which is a correct soln Edit: actually there is some thing wrong with this method though i haven't figured out what I accidentally checked for lnx + ln2x = ln3x rather than the square form, so the soln is wrong Not deleting incase someone wishes to help out

Possible solution?: since A, B and C are angles which form a triangle, you could take C=π-(A+B). Then, sinC= sin(A+B) due to allied angles. Resulting expression is sinA*sinB*sin(A+B). I used maxima and minima for above expression using partial derivatives and got the answer.

This x is actually a solution to log(x)^2 + log(2x)^2 = log(3x)^2 for any log base greater than one. Bases between one and zero satisfy the equasion but they don't make a right triangle as log(x) would be negative. The other solution of the quadratic formula will give the right answer for bases between one and zero.

[@papasalt8823]

I believe I messed up somewhere along my working and don't feel like restarting. But from a number theory perspective, couldn't this be solved through Euclid's formula? Often used only with integers, but it applies to the real numbers too. If a^2 + b^2 = c^2. Where: a = m^2-n^2 = lnx b = 2mn = ln2x c = m^2+n^2 = ln3x We can raise everything to the power of e. Then rearrange for x in each equation. And set 3x to be equal to the sum of each equation. (3x = e^a + e^b + e^c). I'm not sure where to go from here though, but I haven't worked through far enough to think about that section, and I'm too lazy to do it since I already mucked up once.

[@voidkfox9526]

ln(3x)^2 = ln(2x)^2 + ln(x)^2 Then take the derivative of both sides above and cancel common factors ln(3x) = ln(x) + ln(2x) ln(3x) = ln(2x^2) ln(3x/2x^2) = 0 ln(3/(2x)) = 0 then raise to the power of e 3/(2x) = 1 x = 3/2

[@AndreyNsk89]

Applying derivatives to both sides of the equation does not produce an equivalent equation. For example equation x = x + 1 doesnt have solutions, but if you take derivatives it will become 1 = 1, i.e. it is correct for all x.

[@e.s.r5809]

The other issue here (besides the one Andrey pointed out-- I think you meant square root, not derivative) is that you still have to take (ln3 + lnx)^2 = ln3ln3 + 2ln3lnx + lnxlnx. (p + q)^2 =/= p^2 + q^2 sqrt(p^2 + q^2) =/= p + q (p + q)^2 = p^2 + 2pq + q^2 By Pythagoras (substituting lnx = z, ln3 = a, ln2 = b for the sake of everyone's sanity) we expand our brackets and reach: z^2 + 2az + a^2 = 2z^2 + 2bz + b^2 Gathering, simplifying, and substituting back a and b: z^2 + ln(4/9)z + ln(6)ln(2/3) = 0 As you can see, it's a quadratic with two solutions and no common factors to cancel. If you took the exponential of both sides now you'd reach an impasse (or at least something very gross). Remember you have to take exp of the entire expression, and by log rules, those multiplying lns would end up as powers: alog(b) = log(b^a) lnxlnx = ln( x^(lnx) ) 1 = exp{ ln[ x^(ln(x)) × x^ln(4/9) × ... Grim! 😅

[@SG-lh7up]

I saw your great older video on x^x. Would you consider making a video on plotting x^x (in 3 dimensions) for Real input and complex output? I tried to sketch the full 3d curve, with the x axis being Real and running perpendicular to the complex plane which is used for the output of x^x. So the x axis is the Real input; the y axis is the Real output and the z axis is the imaginary output. So the y and z axes form the complex plane output of the Real x input. So you have a simple exponential-looking 2d curve for positive x, it crosses the real y axis (or has a limit at x=0) at y=1, but the curve then becomes a complex shrinking spiralling "vase" shape for negative x. It's the "smoothness" of the curve as it crosses the y axis and changes from Real 2d to Complex 3d that I can't visualize. Would you consider making a video on this 3d graph and discuss the 3d smoothness of the real-complex transition at x=0 ? i.e. what's the limit of the 3d angle of the complex curve at x=0. AND: on this graph is x^x at x=0, a forbidden indeterminate point or is it equal to 1 ?

In my take, I factored out the 4 from the square root resulting in the product of the square root and 2 then I factored out 2 in the numerator and cancelled it with the 2 in the denominator.

I solved it by splitting ln(2x) into ln2+lnx and ln3x=ln3+lnx Then by pythagoras theorem we get (ln2+lnx)²+(lnx)²=(ln3+lnx)² (ln2)²+2(ln2(lnx)+2(lnx)²=(ln3)²+2(ln3)(lnx)+(lnx)² (ln2)²-lnsolved it by splitting ln(2x) into ln2+lnx and ln3x=ln3+lnx Then by pythagoras theorem we get (ln2+lnx)²+(lnx)²=(ln3+lnx)² (ln2)²+2(ln2(lnx)+2(lnx)²=(ln3)²+2(ln3)(lnx)+(lnx)² (2ln2lnx)-(2ln3lnx)+(lnx)²=(ln3)²-(ln2)² ln(x)(2ln2-2ln3)+lnx²=ln(3^ln(3)÷2^ln(2)) (lnx)²+ln(4/9)lnx-ln(3^ln3÷2^ln2)=0 Sub Y=lnx Y²+ln4/9Y-ln(3^ln3/2^ln2)=0 One solution is Y≈1.3493 Since Y=lnx X=e^Y=e^1.3493 X≈3.855 Other solution Y≈-0.5384 X≈e^-0.5384≈0.584

Please dont tell me you typed all that 💀

X=0.58 not a solution as then ln(X) < 0 for one of the triangle sides

@@asparkdeity8717 why is that a problem? if x

[@asparkdeity8717]

@@NoNameAtAll2 this problem represents side lengths of triangles, all of which must be positive, yet lnX < 0 so isn’t a solution; u just need one extra sentence saying this solution should be disregarded
