Let x, y, and z be nonzero real numbers. Find all possible values of
\frac{x}{x} + \frac{y}{y} + \frac{z}{z} + \frac{xyz}{xyz}
Well, let's first note something.
We have xx=1 as long as x is not 0.
We have yy=1 as long as y is not 0.
We have zz=1 as long as z is not 0.
We finally have xyzxyz=1 as long as x,y,z are not 0.
So, we have 1+1+1+1=4 as long as x,y,z≠0
So there is only one possible value.
Thanks! :)
