    Ratio
In summary, we have three equations with three variables ($x,y,z$) where each variable is a positive real number. Each equation involves the square root of a difference of a squared variable and a fraction with a small denominator. The objective is to find the ratio of $x:y:z$.

$y=\sqrt{{z^2}-\dfrac{1}{36}}+\sqrt{{x^2}-\dfrac{1}{36}}---(2)$
$z=\sqrt{{x^2}-\dfrac{1}{49}}+\sqrt{{y^2}-\dfrac{1}{49}}--(3)$
$find \,\,\,\, x:y:z$
hint:
eliminate square root sign for (1) (2) (3) and rearrange,to make the left sides of them all equal

$z=\sqrt{{x^2}-\dfrac{1}{49}}+\sqrt{{y^2}-\dfrac{1}{49}}---(3)$
$find \,\,\,\, x:y:z$

eliminate square root sign and rearrange for (1)we get:
$(x-\sqrt{{y^2}-\dfrac{1}{25}})^2=(\sqrt{{z^2}-\dfrac{1}{25}})^2$
$\rightarrow x^2+y^2-z^2=2x\sqrt {y^2-\dfrac {1}{25}}$ (square both sides again)
$\rightarrow x^4+y^4+z^4-2x^2y^2-2y^2z^2-2z^2x^2=\dfrac {-4x^2}{25}---(A)$
the same procedures for (2)and(3) we get :
$\rightarrow x^4+y^4+z^4-2x^2y^2-2y^2z^2-2z^2x^2=\dfrac {-4y^2}{36}---(B)$
$\rightarrow x^4+y^4+z^4-2x^2y^2-2y^2z^2-2z^2x^2=\dfrac {-4z^2}{49}---(C)$
from (A)(B)(C)we have:
$\dfrac {x^2}{5^2}=\dfrac {y^2}{6^2}=\dfrac {z^2}{7^2}$
$\therefore x:y:z=5:6:7(for\,\, x,y,z>0)$

Related to Finding the Ratio of x,y,z in $R^+$

1. What is the purpose of finding the ratio of x, y, and z in $R^+$?

The purpose of finding the ratio of x, y, and z in $R^+$ is to determine the relative proportions or relationships between these variables. This information is important in various scientific fields, such as physics, chemistry, and economics, where understanding the ratio of different quantities can provide valuable insights and aid in making predictions.

2. How is the ratio of x, y, and z calculated in $R^+$?

The ratio of x, y, and z in $R^+$ is calculated by dividing each variable by the total sum of the three variables. For example, if x = 2, y = 4, and z = 6, the ratio of x to y to z would be 2/12, 4/12, and 6/12, respectively.

3. What is the significance of $R^+$ in finding the ratio of x, y, and z?

The notation $R^+$ represents the set of positive real numbers, which is used to specify that the ratio should only consider positive values of x, y, and z. This is important because negative values can skew the ratio and provide inaccurate results.

4. Can the ratio of x, y, and z in $R^+$ be greater than 1?

Yes, the ratio of x, y, and z in $R^+$ can be greater than 1. This indicates that one variable is relatively larger than the other two. For example, if x = 6, y = 2, and z = 2, the ratio of x to y to z would be 6/10, 2/10, and 2/10, respectively, with a ratio of x to y being 3 times greater than the ratio of y to z.

5. How can the ratio of x, y, and z in $R^+$ be applied in real-life scenarios?

The ratio of x, y, and z in $R^+$ can be applied in various real-life scenarios. For instance, in chemistry, it can be used to determine the molar ratios of reactants and products in a chemical reaction. In economics, it can help in analyzing the financial ratios of a company. In physics, it can aid in understanding the proportions of different forces acting on an object. Overall, the ratio of x, y, and z in $R^+$ is a useful tool for making comparisons and predictions in different fields of science.
