AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on calculating the value of \(x^5+y^5+z^5\) given the polynomial conditions \(x+y+z=1\), \(x^2+y^2+z^2=2\), and \(x^3+y^3+z^3=3\). Using Newton's identities, the values of \(S_1\), \(S_2\), and \(S_3\) are derived, leading to \(S_2=-\frac{1}{2}\) and \(S_3=\frac{1}{6}\). The calculations for \(P_4\) yield \(\frac{25}{6}\), and ultimately, \(P_5\) is determined to be 6. The final result for \(x^5+y^5+z^5\) is 6.

$\left\{
\begin{array}{rcl}
x+y+z &=& 1\\
x^2+y^2+z^2 &=& 2\\
x^3+y^3+z^3 &=& 3 \\
x^5+y^5+z^5 &=& ?
\end{array}\right.$How to find out $x^5+y^5+z^5=?$

Hello,

For the readers, viewers, visitors, guests, lurkers and mathematical audience of thehttps://mathhelpboards.com, i am reproducing here,the answer to this question given by math expert on other math and science website on internet.

Let $P_n= x^n + y^n + z^n,$ where n is a positive integer, and $S_1= x+y+z= P_1, S_2= xy + yz + zx, S_3=xyz$

Now we have $P_1= S_1=1$
$P_2=S_1P_1-2S_2= 1- 2S_2=2 \Rightarrow S_2=-\frac12$

$P_3=S_1P_2-S_2P_1+ 3S_3= 2+\frac12 +3S_3=3, \Rightarrow S_3=\frac16$

$P_4=S_1P_3-S_2P_2+S_3P_1= 3 +1 + \frac16 =\frac{25}{6}$

$P_5=S_1P_4 -S_2P_3 + S_3P_2 =\frac{25}{6} +\frac32 +\frac13 = \boxed{6}$ Additional information is available at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newton's_identities
 
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...
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...
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...
