1. Find the value of  
tan² 1+ tan² 3+......+tan² 89.  

2.Find the ordered pairs x and y where x and y are real numbers such that x and y satisfy the two equations below.  

(1/sqrt  x)+(1/sqrt  y)=(x+3y)(3x+y)  
(1/sqrt  x)-(1/sqrt  y)=2 (y²-x²)

2.) [hide] case 1: x = y. Then we get 2/http://www.ocf.berkeley.edu/~wwu/YaBBImages/symbols/surd.gifx = 16xhttp://www.ocf.berkeley.edu/~wwu/YaBBImages/symbols/sup2.gif, or x = y = 2 ^ (-6/5)
case 2: x != y. More to come hopefully?[/hide]
