Aguemma:I have solved the question. Are you sure of those values of x and y you put there. Cos the real solution (at least the answer I got ) is x =1 and y=4. Will post my solution tomorrow. It is really lengthy. Thanks 2 Likes 1 Share |

The answer to the above question is x=2 and y=3, Although this question is a bit simple, but requires a good knowledge on numerical techniques. You have to apply the usual substitution method for solving simultaneous equation, and the resulting equation becomes a transcendental equation that is equation contains an algebraic term and a logarithmic term, such equations can not be solved with the usual way because it becomes cumbersome using Maclaurin's series to do your expansions which can be prone to human error, hence you apply a numerical method to that equation may be you can work with Newton's raphson method and you get your answers in a GV as x =2 and y=3 |
