    Wow I'm shocked at the negative comments on this video. First there are those complaining the steps are not explained well even though he did the steps right down to basic arithmetic, along with one comment complaining the opposite (can't please all the people all the time and all that). Secondly, his solution is still a clever purely algebraic way of dealing with problem which assumes only basic maths.
    As for those droning on about Pascal's triangle, well why don't you make a video using this solution and see how long it takes you to first teach how the triangle comes about as a way of finding the exponents of a binomial expansion.
    Man there are a lot of haters out there. So let me just encourage the content creator and say well done on making a very carefully explained video of an elegant solution to the math olympiad problem.

    • @CovidIslandDiscs
      @CovidIslandDiscs Рік тому +7

      ​@@Player-pj9ktin defence of the content creator, he had already expanded (a+b)^2 showing it to be equal to a^2 + b^2 + 2ab so someone watching carefully should be able to spot the refactorisation although I guess a quick sentence explaining he is reversing the process would have been helpful for those who know very little highschool algebra.
      However, this slight improvement does not justify the negativity of some of the comments.

    I assume this problem is about right grouping and then using just 2 equations: 1st (a-b)^2=a^2-2ab+b^2
    2nd a^2-b^2 =(a-b)*(a+b)
    This way it should be possible to avoid complicated calculstions.
    And 111-11=100 pressumes to use those equations.

  • @jpl569
    @jpl569 Рік тому +6

    Well, the problem stands mainly upon the property :
    a^4 + b^4 + (a + b)^4 = 2 (a^2 + b^2 + ab)^2.
    Let us prove it with a far simpler calculation :
    We define P(X) = (X^2 + aX + a^2)^2
    Then P’(X) = 2 (2X + a) (X^2 + aX + a^2)
    We define Q(X) = X^4 + (X + a)^4 + a^4
    Then Q’(X) = 4 (X + a)^3 + 4 X^3
    Using the well-known x^3 + y^3 = (x + y) (x^2 - xy + y^2), we obtain :
    Q’(X) = 4 (2X + a) [(X+a)^2 - X(X+a) + X^2)
    That is : Q’(X) = 4 (2X + a) (X^2 + aX + a^2).
    Obviously, Q’(X) = 2 P’(X), then Q(X) = 2 P(X) + k.
    Noticing that Q(0) = 2 P(0), we have k = 0 (qed).
    Thanks for your interesting videos ! 🙂

    If one wants to be extra rigorous, you need to make sure that the squared and rooted number is not negative before you cancel the power and the root. In this example it is obviously positive, but under any test-like conditions it's always better to show having considered such things

    When I was at school, decades ago, we configured "let" statements this way: "let a=b+1". In this solution, it's done like that. But many other maths problems here on UA-cam configure it as "let b+1=a". Is there a correct way, or does it just not matter? To my mind, the first way makes more sense, but I'm happy to be corrected if I'm wrong.

      @AlaiMacErc 11 місяців тому

      Curious! I don't recall seeing the second style at all. I'd agree the first is much clearer, as it's saying which the new variable is, and it's giving a closed-form expression for its value. But one could argue any statement of the form "let P(x)" where P is some proposition that determines a value for its parameter is valid... if harder to follow.

    To find (a+b)^n expansion we can draw n+1 lines of pascal's triangle and the (n+1)th line gives the coefficients of all terms in the expansion. Then we can write the terms by decreasing the powers of a from n to 0 and increasing the powers of b from 0 to n along with the coefficients. And add all the terms. That is the expansion.

    regroup this as (x^4 +y^4 + 2x²y²) + (2x³y+2xy³) + x²y² = (x²+y²)² +2xy (x²+y²)+ x²y² = [(x²+y²)+xy]²

    Most easy method i am telling you.
    If possible then note it down....
    We know that in the language of exponent we define ^nroot a as a^1/n
    So root 11^4 becomes 11^4×^(1/2)
    root 100^4 becomes 100^4×^(1/2)
    And root 111^4×^(1/2)
    Now by fraction we know that a+b+c/2 = a/2 + b/2 + c/2
    Thus, 11^4×^(1/2)/2 + 100^4×^(1/2)/2 + 111^4×^(1/2)/2
    After cancellation we get
    =11^2/2 + 100^2/2 + 111^2/2
    = 11×11/2 + 100×100/2 = 50 × 100 + 111×111/2
    = 121/2 + 5000 + 12321/2
    Using Associative law here
    Then, 5000 + 121/2 + 12321/2
    = 5000 + 121 + 12321/2
    = 5000 + 12442/2
    = 5000 + 6221 = 11221.
    SIMPLE!

  • @blacktamizans7847

    Still don't understand how to solve this. It seems like just random things get written down out of nowhere. So frustrating to be so bad at math and I try to learn with videos like this but I just get more confused and frustrated.

    This stresses me out so much. Maths has always stressed me out. It just 3 numbers 121+10000+12321 then divided in half. I don't understand all of this. No one ever explained to me why or what all the steps are for. It's literally 4 steps why is all of this necessary? Like what is the purpose? Even in school no one would ever explain to me why that was necessary. I always got in trouble because I couldn't show my work. But they never told me what work I was supposed to show, I just freaking gave up. Even on this why are they writing 47000 different numbers/letters? WHY are their letters? And where do the squares come from?😭😭😭

    Knowing that root is power half, just divide all powers by 2. Then seperate them into partial Fractions.
    (11^2/2)+(100^2/2)+ (111^2/2) = 11221

    The step before you reverted a and b back to 100 and 11, you didn't go over how you got root((a^2 + b^2 +ab)^2). I'm totally not seeing how you got to that point.

    Cancel the square root by exponent-4, you're left with (11^2+100^2+111^2)/2
    Then you solve the squares, you get (121+10,000+12321)/2
    Then simply solve; 22442/2 = 11221
    Please enlighten me because clearly this problem can't be this simple to solve considering I'm watching a guy expand this problem to this level

    When I do the math on a calculator, I get an answer which is vastly different from the answer from the math. Also, I believe 111 to the fourth power is not equal to ( 100+11) to the fourth power. At least I am unable to get the same answers with a calculator. Either I am wrong or the answer is in error .

      John, you must have made a mitsake somewhere because the expression resolves exactly to 11221.
      Also 111^4 = (111)^4 = (100+11)^4.
      You might have forgot to divide the inside of the root by 2… use parentheses on your calculator to combine the numerator, since it all has to be added first, and then divided by 2, and all that taken the square root of… just a suggestion…
