How do you guys factorize so beautifully??
What do you mean by properties of ϕ

ϕ denotes the golden ratio which is also equal to 2 1 + 5 . ϕ 2 = ϕ + 1 is one of the properties of the golden ratio.
Or you can prove it algebraically, ( 2 1 + 5 ) 2
= 4 1 + 5 + 2 5
= 4 6 + 2 5
= 2 3 + 5
= 1 + 2 1 + 5
wonderful solution
Why I didn't know about this?@@
Nice job!
If x is not equals to -1; how we get x^5 + 1 = 0
Log in to reply
I meant that x is two of the four complex roots of x 5 − 1 .

how did u got the 7th step..??
how u have reached 7th step after 6th . can u explain me?
can you please explain how have you factorised it

Explain which step?

@Deepansh Jindal – x 4 − x 3 + x 2 − x + 1 = 0
Multiplying and dividing by x + 1
( x + 1 ) ( x + 1 ) ( x 4 − x 3 + x 2 − x + 1 ) = 0
x + 1 x 5 − x 4 + x 3 − x 2 + x + x 4 − x 3 + x 2 − x + 1 = 0
x + 1 x 5 + 1 = 0

@Siddhartha Srivastava – what make you multiply and divide by x+1 ..how you came to know or what inspired you to do so
Log in to reply
@Deepansh Jindal – You need to remember that x ( 2 n + 1 ) + 1 = ( x + 1 ) ( x 2 n − x 2 n − 1 + x 2 n − 2 + . . . )

@Siddhartha Srivastava – thanks for this it might be very useful for me .. thanks
Is there any method using complex numbers?
really good sol
if x is not equal to -1 then how does x^5 is -1. Although i understood the logic of the equation but I feel that these two statements are contradictory in them selves. i.e xis not equal to -1 but x^5=-1... HOW???
Log in to reply
x^5=-1 has one root as -1 while the other 4 are 2 pairs of complex conjugate roots...hence x is not equal to -1 but there are certain complex numbers which satisfy x^5=-1
Misal x = e^(i.a), maka 1/x = e^(-i.a)
e^(i.a) = cosa + i.sina e^(-i.a) = cosa - i.sina --------------------------- + e^(i.a)+e^(-i.a) = 2cosa (1+V5)/2 = 2cosa Maka a = 72 derajat. x^2000 + 1/x^2000 = e^(2000i.a) + e^(-2000i.a) = 2cos(2000a) = 2cos(2000x72) = 2cos0 = 2
I wish you understand :)
Let me translate and fix your elegant solution Danang. Let x = e i θ , then x − 1 = e − i θ . Euler's formula states that, for any real number θ and n , e i n θ = cos n θ + i sin n θ and e − i n θ = cos n θ − i sin n θ . Then x + x − 1 e i θ + e − i θ cos θ + i sin θ + cos θ − i sin θ 2 cos θ θ = 2 1 + 5 = 2 1 + 5 = 2 1 + 5 = 2 1 + 5 = cos − 1 ( 4 1 + 5 ) = 5 2 π rad = 7 2 ∘ . Therefore, for n = 2 0 0 0 , we obtain x 2 0 0 0 + x − 2 0 0 0 = e 2 0 0 0 i θ + e − 2 0 0 0 i θ = 2 cos ( 2 0 0 0 θ ) = 2 cos ( 2 0 0 0 ⋅ 7 2 ∘ ) = 2 cos ( 4 0 0 ⋅ 3 6 0 ∘ ) = 2 cos 3 6 0 ∘ = 2

Used the same method. :)
i used an almost same method...
I also used similar method...
Well how did you know that the complex no has a unit modulus?

Since x + 1/x is purely real. Hence 1/x must be conjugate of x. Hence |x|= 1
x + x − 1 = 2 1 + 5 x 2 + x − 2 = ( x + x − 1 ) 2 − 2 = 2 − 1 + 5 x 3 + x − 3 = ( x + x − 1 ) 3 − 3 ⋅ ( x + x − 1 ) = 2 1 − 5 ( x 2 + x − 2 ) ( x 3 + x − 3 ) = x 5 + x − 5 + ( x + x − 1 ) = 2 − 1 + 5 ⋅ 2 1 − 5 = 2 − 3 + 5 x 5 + x − 5 = − 2 x 1 0 + 1 = − 2 ⋅ x 5 x 5 = − 1 ( x 5 ) 4 0 0 + ( x 5 ) − 4 0 0 = 1 + 1 = 2 .
I also did the same way. In fact use of complex was a hint since x + 1/x is always >= 2 for real 'x' . But in the above ques .(√5+1)/4 is less than 2 . Hence it had to be complex
arccos of (1+sqrt(5))/4 is 72 degrees? But Isn't that 36 ?

2 assume (x^2000+x^-2000)=y therfore (x^2000+x^-2000)^2=y^2(eqn1) and (x^2000+x^-2000 + 2)=y+2 adding 2 to both side this equal to (x^2000+x^-2000)^2=y+2(eqn2) using 1 and 2 eqn hence y=2
{(root5+1)/2}^2-1 is a golden ratio so we can solve it with this mystery

x + x 1 = ϕ
x 2 + x 2 1 + 2 = ϕ 2
x 2 + x 2 1 + 2 = ϕ + 1 (By Properties of ϕ )
x 2 + x 2 1 + 1 = x + x 1
x 2 − x + 1 − x 1 + x 2 1 = 0
x 4 − x 3 + x 2 − x + 1 = 0
x + 1 x 5 + 1 = 0 , Note that ( x = − 1 )
x 5 + 1 = 0
x 5 = − 1
x 1 0 = 1
Therefore ⇒ x 2 0 0 0 + x − 2 0 0 0 = ( x 1 0 ) 2 0 0 + ( x 1 0 ) − 2 0 0 = 1 2 0 0 + 1 − 2 0 0 = 1 + 1 = 2
