Equal Products and Equal Sums of Like Powers

a1a2 ... am = b1 b2 ... bm

a1k + a2k + ... + amk = b1k + b2k + ... + bmk      ( k = k2 , k3 , ... , kn ) 


  • Introduction

  • Why use k = 0 for the equal products equation?
  • y = { ( a1x+a2x+a3x+a4x+a5x ) / 5 }1/x - { ( b1x+b2x+b3x+b4x+b5x ) / 5 }1/x
