Great solution, and nice usage of the identity 3^3 + 4^3 + 5^3 = 6^3. However, the last step kind of irritates in terms of complex analysis, as there are 3 solutions for x. Those solutions are: 606, 606*e^(2i*pi/3) and 606*e^(-2i*pi/3). The general form of the solutions is 606*e^(5ni*pi/6), when n is an integer. Those 3 solutions form a circle when put in the complex plane, which is logical following the e^ix identity. Definitely a topic worth reading about! If anyone has any questions, I really love the subject so will be happy to answer
Simpler: You've got a Pythagorean triple. 5^2 - 4^2 = 3^2 So K*5^2 - K*4^2 = K*3^2 Let K= 1111^2 and combine the squared product terms. 5555^2 - 4444^2 = 3333^2 [Edit: Basically what Leo said below.]
It's better to write (1111*5)²-(1111*4)² Which will lead you to 1111²(25-16) 1111²(9) Then rewrite 9 as 3² as commonly applied on Pythagorean theorem applications 1111²(3²) And re write the expression 3333² Which is equal to the solution provided in the video, but it comes to show a beautiful expression
I went to geometry, so I learned Difference of Squares, but walterwen2975 (comment below) shares a very elegant solution that I didn't think of, because I was restricted by the monotony of the school curriculum.
@@jonathantremel3732 It's what happens when you make the problem. You don't see other solutions. It was obvious that he was trying to include several different tricks to make and solve a problem, like Difference of Squares and the 11^2 = 121 thing.
@@prabhushettysangame6601 He did (500+13)(500+11) but he could have done (500+12)(500+12) and it is even simpler and easier, since the middle terms are identical: 250000 + 2*12*500 + 12*12 = 250000 + 12000 + 144 = 262144, then subtract 1 from the final answer to get 262143.
I am disappointed. The solution was really just a guess and try, and it worked because the solution was so easy. What if, instead of 27, the number was 28? Then the same method would not work. In fact, I found the answer in the same way by assuming the answer was simple and trying the numbers 1, 2, and 3, and 3 worked.
