MHB Calculating Real $(x,y,z)$ with System of Equations

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on solving a system of equations involving real numbers \(x\), \(y\), and \(z\) with their greatest integer and fractional parts. The initial equations are \(x[x]+z\{z\}-y\{y\} = 0.16\), \(y[y]+x\{x\}-z\{z\} = 0.25\), and \(z[z]+y\{y\}-x\{x\} = 0.49\). A participant suggests summing the equations to simplify the problem, resulting in \(x[x]+y[y]+z[z] = 0.9\). Another user advises eliminating the greatest integer and fractional parts by using the identity \(x^2 = x[x] + x\{x\}\) and recommends manipulating the equations further, such as subtracting one from another. The conversation emphasizes the need for strategic algebraic manipulation to solve for the variables.

Calculation of Real $(x,y,z)$ in

$x[x]+z\{z\}-y\{y\} = 0.16$

$y[y]+x\{x\}-z\{z\} = 0.25$

$z[z]+y\{y\}-x\{x\} = 0.49$

where $[x] = $ Greatest Integer of $x$ and $\{x\} = $ fractional part of x

My try:: Add $(i) + (ii)+(iii)$

$x[x]+y[y]+z[z] = 0.9$

Now I did not Understand How Can I proceed after that,

please Help me

Thanks

Hi jacks! :)

It seems to me that you need to get rid of all those "greatest integer" and "fractional part" thingies.
What draws my attention is that they only occur in conjunction with the same variable.
Perhaps it is useful to consider that $x^2=x([x]+\{x\})=x[x]+x\{x\}$?
You might for instance subtract (iii) from (i) and apply that...
 
Suppose ,instead of the usual x,y coordinate system with an I basis vector along the x -axis and a corresponding j basis vector along the y-axis we instead have a different pair of basis vectors ,call them e and f along their respective axes. I have seen that this is an important subject in maths My question is what physical applications does such a model apply to? I am asking here because I have devoted quite a lot of time in the past to understanding convectors and the dual...
Insights auto threads is broken atm, so I'm manually creating these for new Insight articles. In Dirac’s Principles of Quantum Mechanics published in 1930 he introduced a “convenient notation” he referred to as a “delta function” which he treated as a continuum analog to the discrete Kronecker delta. The Kronecker delta is simply the indexed components of the identity operator in matrix algebra Source: https://www.physicsforums.com/insights/what-exactly-is-diracs-delta-function/ by...
