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

AI Thread 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.
 
Seemingly by some mathematical coincidence, a hexagon of sides 2,2,7,7, 11, and 11 can be inscribed in a circle of radius 7. The other day I saw a math problem on line, which they said came from a Polish Olympiad, where you compute the length x of the 3rd side which is the same as the radius, so that the sides of length 2,x, and 11 are inscribed on the arc of a semi-circle. The law of cosines applied twice gives the answer for x of exactly 7, but the arithmetic is so complex that the...
