Solve the equation system {1−y+3x12=x21+y+3x12=x6
Solution
The necessary conditions for the given equation system are x,y>0;y+3x=0. The given equation system is equivalent to the following equation systems {1−y+3x12=x21+y+3x12=x6⇒{x1+y1=1−x1+y3=y+3x12(1)(2) Multiply (1) with (2), we get y9−x1=y+3x12⇔y2+6xy−27x2=0⇔{y=3xy=−9x By the condition x,y>0, we have y=3x. By setting y=3x in (1), we obtain x1+3x3=1⇒x=4+23,y=12+63
