xy=4
therefore
x = 4/y
therefore
(4/y)^2 + 4y^2 = 16
which is
16/(y^2) + 4y^2 = 16
which is
16 + 4y^4 = 16y^2
which is
4y^4 - 16y^2 + 16 = 0
which is
y^4 - 4y^2 + 4 = 0
which is
(y^2 - 2)^2 = 0
which is
y^2 - 2 = 0
which is y = root 2
therefore when y = root 2, x = (4/root 2)
so the answer is x = (4/root 2) and y = root 2.
They're indices, not exponents.Quote:
