    The spontaneous realization you had is the better way to go through , it will give rise to [cosec(2A)]^x - [cot(2A)]^x = 1 which is only possible if x = 2

    A quick way to get the answer x=2...
    [1] ((1+a^2) / 2a)^x - ((1-a^2) / 2a)^x = 1
    Let:
    p = (1+a^2) / 2a
    q = (1-a^2) / 2a
    Substituting p and q into [1]:
    [2] p^x - q^x = 1
    Note:
    p + q = 1/a
    p - q = a
    Therefore:
    p^2 - q^2 = (p+q)(p-q) = (1/a).a = 1
    So x=2 satisfies [2] and is therefore a solution to [1].
    To prove uniqueness of this solution note that:
    0 < a < 1
    => 0 < a*2 < 1
    => 0 < 1-a^2 < 1+a^2
    => 0 < q < p
    -inf < ln(q) < ln(p) [3]
    So when x > 0:
    -inf < x.ln(q) < x.ln(p)
    -inf < ln(q^x) < ln(p^x)
    0 < q^x < p^x [4]
    0 < 1/p^x < 1/q^x [5]
    Also note:
    p - 1 = (1+a^2)/2a - 2a/2a = (1-a)^2/2a > 0
    => p > 1
    => ln(p) > 0
    Given [3] and [4] then:
    ln(p).p^x > ln(q).q^x [6]
    Let:
    f(x) = p^x - q^x
    So [1] is equivalent to solving:
    [7] f(x) = 1
    Case 1) x = 0:
    f(0) = 1 - 1 = 0 so x=0 not a solution.
    Case 2) x > 0:
    f'(x) = ln(p).p^x - ln(q).q^x > 0 because of [6]
    So f is strictly increasing and there can be at most one positive solution to [7] which is x=2.
    Case 3) x < 0:
    f(x) = p^-|x| - q^-|x| = 1/p^|x| - 1/q^|x| < 0 because of [5]
    So no negative solutions to [7]

    • @franolich3
      @franolich3 19 днів тому +1

      @user-fq7ft1tz9k The first part of the uniqueness proof establishes some inequalities. The second part uses these inequalities to show that p^x-q^x=1 has only one solution (equivalent to the original problem). I have added some more explanation to the proof but if this still does not make sense then let me know which part is giving you trouble.

    To say the truth, the one familiar with an identity
    (1+A)² - (1-A)² = 4A will guess the solution x=2 quite fast. It is more important to explain why it is unique. This is where we really need the form (cosθ)ˣ + (sinθ)ˣ = 1 with 0

      I don't know, where you got
      (2a/(1+a²))ˣ + ((1-a²)/(1+a²))ˣ = 1
      from, but it is NOT the same as
      ((1 + a²)/(2a))ˣ - ((1 - a²)/(2a))ˣ = 1
      For starters, your equation has a solution for a = 0, while the original equation does not.

      (2a/(1+a²))ˣ. I am sure you can do it, obtaining
      1 - ((1-a²)/(1+a²))ˣ = (2a/(1+a²))ˣ

      @@sobolzeev I agree with your calculation, but your comment clearly stated, that the original equation can be rewritten to your equation. You don't mention 0 < a < 1 AT ALL. And without that distinction your comment is simply wrong. With the inclusion of 0 < a < 1, it is correct, but it needs to be made clear, that any result of this new equation is only valid inside these boundaries, while the original equation is NOT limited by these boundaries. The original equation only has the limitation of a ≠ 0, just based on the terms themselves.

    Solution: (no trig)
    with 0 < a < 1:
    ((1 + a²)/(2a))^x - ((1 - a²)/(2a))^x = 1
    assuming a = 0.1:
    ((1 + (0.1)²)/(2(0.1)))^x - ((1 - (0.1)²)/(2(0.1)))^x = 1
    ((1 + 0.01)/0.2)^x - ((1 - 0.01)/0.2)^x = 1
    (1.01/0.2)^x - (0.99/0.2)^x = 1
    (10.1/2)^x - (9.9/2)^x = 1
    (5.05)^x - (4.95)^x = 1
    With a keen eye, and knowing about the difference of two squares, you can see, that
    (5.05)² - (4.95)² = 1
    because:
    (5.05 + 4.95)(5.05 - 4.95) = 1
    10 * 0.1 = 1
    1 = 1
    assuming a = 0.9:
    ((1 + (0.9)²)/(2(0.9)))^x - ((1 - (0.9)²)/(2(0.9)))^x = 1
    ((1 + 0.81)/1.8)^x - ((1 - 0.81)/1.8)^x = 1
    (1.81/1.8)^x - (0.19/1.8)^x = 1
    (18.1/18)^x - (1.9/18)^x = 1
    It is a little bit more difficult to see, but:
    (18.1/18)² - (1.9/18)² = 1
    (18.1/18 + 1.9/18)(18.1/18 - 1.9/18) = 1
    (20/18)(16.2/18) = 1
    324/324 = 1
    1 = 1
    so in general:
    ((1 + a²)/(2a))² - ((1 - a²)/(2a))² = 1
    ((1 + a²)/(2a) + (1 - a²)/(2a))((1 + a²)/(2a) - (1 - a²)/(2a)) = 1
    ((1 + a² + 1 - a²)/(2a))((1 + a² - 1 + a²)/(2a)) = 1
    (2/(2a))((2a²)/(2a)) = 1
    (1/a)(a) = 1
    a/a = 1
    1 = 1
    so with x = 2, a only has to be a ≠ 0
