2016/053) Solve the system of equations in real
4x^2+25y^2 +9z^2 - 10xy -15yz - 6xz = 0\cdots(1)
x+y+z=5\cdots(2)
Solution
from (1) we have
8x^2+50y^2 +18z^2 - 20xy -30yz - 12xz = 0
or (4x^2 - 20xy + 25y^2) + (25y^2 - 30yz + 9z^2) + (9z^2 - 12xz + 4x^2)= 0
or (2x-5y)^2 + (5y-3z)^2 + (3z-2x)^2=0
above is sum of 3 squares and hence each of them is zero ior 2x = 5y = 3z=k (say)
so x= \frac{k}{2}, y= \frac{k}{5},z= \frac{k}{3}
putting in (2) we get
\frac{k}{2} + \frac{k}{5}+ \frac{k}{3} = 5
or \frac{31k}{30} = 5
or k = \frac{150}{31}
so x= \frac{75}{31}, y= \frac{30}{31},z= \frac{50}{31}
