(a) Find an ordered triple (x,y,z) of real numbers satisfying x<=y<=z and the system of equations  

                 sqrt(x)+sqrt(y)+sqrt(z)=10,    

                 x+y+z=38,    

                 sqrt(xy)+sqrt(xz)+sqrt(yz)=30,    

or if there is no such tripe, enter the word "none" as your answer.

(a).  (sqrt(x) + sqrt(y) + sqrt(z))^2 = x + y + z + 2(sqrt(xy) + sqrt(xz) + sqrt(yz))

 

LHS = 10^2 = 100.                          RHS = 38 + 2*30 = 98

 

Hence:  "none"

(b).   x = 4,  y = 9,  z = 25

 

(by inspection)
