279. If the system of equations $$ \begin{gathered} x y=a \\ x+y=b \end{gathered} $$ is satisfied by $x_{1}=\alpha, y_{1}=\beta$, then the solution will also be $x_{2}=\beta$, $y_{2}=\alpha$, and there is no other solution.
279. The equations are symmetric with respect to $x$ and $y$. There cannot be more than two systems of solutions, since substituting one unknown from the second equation into the first leads to a quadratic equation, which admits only two roots.

281. The system of equations: $$ \begin{gathered} x^{4}+y^{4}=272 \\ x+y=6 \end{gathered} $$ has 4 pairs of roots. Why? If it is known that $x_{1}=4, y_{1}=2$; $x_{2}=3+\sqrt{-55}$, then how to write the value of $y_{2}$ and the other pairs of roots $x_{3}, y_{3} ; x_{4}, y_{4}$ without calculations?
281. The coefficients of the equations are rational numbers, and therefore there must exist an irrational root conjugate to the value $x_{2}$, namely $y_{2}=3-\sqrt{55}$. The left sides of the equations are symmetric with respect to $x$ and $y$. Therefore, we can write: $$ x_{3}=2, y_{3}=4 ; x_{4}=2-\sqrt{55}, y_{4}=3...

It is known that the number $\boldsymbol{e}$ (the base of natural logarithms) is defined as the limit of the expression $\left(1+\frac{1}{n}\right)^{n}$ as $n$ increases without bound: $$ e=\lim _{n \rightarrow \infty}\left(1+\frac{1}{n}\right)^{n} $$ But one might reason as follows: if the exponent of a base sl...

470. On what theorems does the immediate proof of the Pythagorean theorem rely? Does it depend on the parallel postulate?
470. Directly on the theorems of similarity or on the theorems of equivalence of areas. Both are based on the theories of parallels, and therefore on Euclid's postulate.

473. Suppose it has already been preliminarily proven that the length of a circle is proportional to its radius. What else needs to be done to derive the formula for the circumference of a circle?
473. When it has been proven that the length of the circumference $C$ is proportional to the radius $r$, this establishes the formula $C=2 \pi r$, since this formula merely expresses the stated proportionality, with the coefficient of proportionality denoted by $2 \pi$. The numerical value of the symbol $\pi$ is determ...

475. Define a square as a) a special rectangle, b) a special rhombus. Provide several different definitions for both a) and b). a) As a special rectangle: 1. A square is a rectangle where all four sides are of equal length. 2. A square is a rectangle with four equal sides and four right angles. 3. A square is a rectan...
475. a) A rectangle, all sides of which are equal, or the diagonals of which are perpendicular, or the diagonals of which bisect the angles; b) a rhombus with right angles or with equal diagonals, or the largest of all rhombi with a constant side.

477. What is the mutual relationship between the concepts of equality (equivalence) and similarity of two geometric figures?
477. Equivalence and similarity are independent concepts and therefore compatible; thus: two figures can be equivalent and not similar, similar and not equivalent, and equivalent and similar. In the latter case, they are equal (congruent). The combination of the properties of equivalence and similarity is equivalent to...

478. What lines on a spherical surface correspond to straight lines on a plane?
478. There is a substantial analogy between straight lines on a plane and great circles on the surface of a sphere: In fact, the main properties of a straight line on a plane can be reduced to two: a) through any two different points on the plane, one and only one straight line can be drawn, and b) the straight line co...

479. a) Is the definition of a tangent: "a tangent is a straight line that has one and only one common point with a curve" a correct definition? b) Should the curve in the neighborhood of the point of tangency lie on one side of the tangent?
479. The condition for a line to have one and only one common point with a curve is neither necessary nor sufficient for it to be a tangent. Indeed: a tangent at one point of a curve can intersect it at another (sine curve); a line can have only one common point with a curve, for example, a line parallel to the axis of...

481. What angles can be constructed exactly with a compass and a straightedge?
481. All angles of the form $\pm k \frac{90^{\circ}}{2^{m}} \pm l \frac{30^{\circ}}{2^{n}}$, where $k, l, n$ denote integers. Calculate some of such angles.

482. All angles of the form $\frac{k}{2^{n}} \alpha+\beta$, where $k$ and $n$ are integers ( $k$ can be negative), and $\beta$ denotes angles that can be constructed with a compass and straightedge (see question 481).

483. Show that with a compass and a straightedge, one can construct an angle arbitrarily close to a given angle.
483. Let it be required to construct an angle that differs by no more than $\frac{90^{\circ}}{2^{m}}$ (where $m$ is a given large number) from a given angle $\alpha$. For each $m$, one can find an integer $l$ such that $$ \frac{l}{2^{m}} 90^{\circ} \leqslant \alpha \leqslant \frac{l+1}{2^{m}} \cdot 90^{\circ} $$ $\ma...

485. What does Ptolemy's theorem on the product of the diagonals of a cyclic quadrilateral turn into if one of its sides is reduced to zero? What does this theorem turn into if the quadrilateral is a) a rectangle? b) a trapezoid?
485. In the case of a triangle, one of the sides is a side of a quadrilateral, and therefore its product with the opposite side reduces to zero, the diagonals coincide with the two remaining sides; consequently, a trivial identity is obtained. For a rectangle, the Pythagorean theorem is obtained, for an isosceles trape...
