Hi everyone.
This is my proof (?)of ramanujan's problem 525: http://www.imsc.res.in/~rao/ramanujan/collectedpapers/question/q525.htm (link to problem)

[![enter image description here][1]][1]

$$
\sqrt{A^{1/3}-B^{1/3}}=\frac{(A*B/10)^{1/3}+(A \times B)^{1/3}-(A^2)^{1/3}}{3} \Leftrightarrow \\
9 \times (A^{1/3}-B^{1/3})=[(A*B/10)^{1/3}+(A \times B)^{1/3}-(A^2)^{1/3}]^2
$$
for A=5 and B=4. we arrive to the final result

$$
R=R \qquad (R=9 \times (A^{1/3}-B^{1/3}))
$$

Is this proof correct?
If it isn't am I getting closer to the right answer?

If you've seen this posted elsewhere ,notice that I posted it.
Thank you for your help!.

You left out all steps apart from one. If you can show that the two sides are equal, that works, but in general they are not equal. As an example, try A=8, B=0.
 
How did you come to the conclusion of:
$$\sqrt{A^{1/3}-B^{1/3}}=\frac{(A*B/10)^{1/3}+(A \times B)^{1/3}-(A^2)^{1/3}}{3} $$
the ecuation don't work for
the case A=1 , B=1
and the case of A= 27, and B=28
so is incorrect.

is like tell
$$A=A^{2}$$
for A=1 and A=0, we arrive to the final result
$$A=A^{2}$$
but this is obviously wrong, you can not "create" ecuations for Particular cases, If an equation is right
Must be true for all values of A
 
Thanks I was aware of it .I am going try to find the right equation ;)
 
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...
Fermat's Last Theorem has long been one of the most famous mathematical problems, and is now one of the most famous theorems. It simply states that the equation $$ a^n+b^n=c^n $$ has no solutions with positive integers if ##n>2.## It was named after Pierre de Fermat (1607-1665). The problem itself stems from the book Arithmetica by Diophantus of Alexandria. It gained popularity because Fermat noted in his copy "Cubum autem in duos cubos, aut quadratoquadratum in duos quadratoquadratos, et...
I'm interested to know whether the equation $$1 = 2 - \frac{1}{2 - \frac{1}{2 - \cdots}}$$ is true or not. It can be shown easily that if the continued fraction converges, it cannot converge to anything else than 1. It seems that if the continued fraction converges, the convergence is very slow. The apparent slowness of the convergence makes it difficult to estimate the presence of true convergence numerically. At the moment I don't know whether this converges or not.
