But cannot prove it.]]>http://www.mathisfunforum.com/profile.php?id=21282006-03-18T16:20:41Zhttp://www.mathisfunforum.com/viewtopic.php?pid=31762#p31762I've "simplified" it down into two simultaneous equations that only involve A and B. Here we go:
Have fun solving those.

A = B = C = D = E = 0 ]]>http://www.mathisfunforum.com/profile.php?id=6822006-03-15T09:16:07Zhttp://www.mathisfunforum.com/viewtopic.php?pid=31456#p31456So is that the only solution? Or are there infinitely many?
I tried a bunch of different attempts, but have only gone in circles. Too bad we aren't doing trig...

(A=2, B=2, C=2, D=2, E=2) ]]>http://www.mathisfunforum.com/profile.php?id=6822006-03-15T03:58:21Zhttp://www.mathisfunforum.com/viewtopic.php?pid=31421#p31421You know, that system looks about as solved as it's ever going to get. I suppose you could take the square roots if you really wanted to, giving values for all 5 terms.]]>http://www.mathisfunforum.com/profile.php?id=9562006-03-14T22:36:56Zhttp://www.mathisfunforum.com/viewtopic.php?pid=31413#p31413find all positive solutions of the system of equations:
A + B = C^2 B + C = D^2 C + D = E^2 D + E = A^2 E + A = B^2
