MHB Solving System of Equations with x,y,z in [0,pi/2)

Click For Summary
The discussion focuses on solving a system of transcendental equations where x, y, and z are constrained within the interval [0, π/2). The equations involve combinations of tangent and sine functions equating to three times the respective variables. A participant suggests that finding a general solution may not be possible due to the nature of the equations. However, they note that the trivial solution (0, 0, 0) satisfies all equations. The conversation highlights the complexity of solving such systems analytically.

How can i solve system of equations , if x,y,z\in \left[0,\frac{\pi}{2}\right)\begin{cases}\tan x+\sin y+\sin z = 3x\\\sin x+\tan y+\sin z = 3y\\\sin x+\sin y+\tan z = 3z\end{cases}

Hello, jacks!

How can i solve system of equations , if x,y,z \in \left[0,\tfrac{\pi}{2}\right)

\begin{array}{ccc}\tan x+\sin y+\sin z &amp;=&amp; 3x\\<br /> \sin x+\tan y+\sin z &amp;=&amp; 3y\\<br /> \sin x+\sin y+\tan z &amp;=&amp; 3z\end{array}
I don't think you can.
. . The equations are transcendental.

However, by inspection, (x,y,z) \,=\,(0,0,0) is a solution.
 
I have been insisting to my statistics students that for probabilities, the rule is the number of significant figures is the number of digits past the leading zeros or leading nines. For example to give 4 significant figures for a probability: 0.000001234 and 0.99999991234 are the correct number of decimal places. That way the complementary probability can also be given to the same significant figures ( 0.999998766 and 0.00000008766 respectively). More generally if you have a value that...
