Solution - Nonlinear equations

Rearrange:

Rearrange the equation by subtracting what is to the right of the equal sign from both sides of the equation :

                     5*x^2+2-(6)=0 

Step by step solution :

Step  1  :

Equation at the end of step  1  :

  (5x2 +  2) -  6  = 0 

Step  2  :

Trying to factor as a Difference of Squares :

 2.1      Factoring:  5x²-4 

Theory : A difference of two perfect squares,  A² - B²  can be factored into  (A+B) • (A-B)

Proof :  (A+B) • (A-B) =
         A² - AB + BA - B² =
         A² - AB + AB - B² =
         A² - B²

Note :  AB = BA is the commutative property of multiplication.

Note :  - AB + AB equals zero and is therefore eliminated from the expression.

Check :  5  is not a square !!

Ruling : Binomial can not be factored as the
difference of two perfect squares

Equation at the end of step  2  :

  5x2 - 4  = 0 

Step  3  :

Solving a Single Variable Equation :

 3.1      Solve  :    5x²-4 = 0 

 Add  4  to both sides of the equation : 
                      5x² = 4
Divide both sides of the equation by 5:
                     x² = 4/5 = 0.800
 
 When two things are equal, their square roots are equal. Taking the square root of the two sides of the equation we get:  
                      x  =  ± √ 4/5  

 The equation has two real solutions  
 These solutions are  x = ±√ 0.800 = ± 0.89443
