Solution - Nonlinear equations
Step by Step Solution
Reformatting the input :
Changes made to your input should not affect the solution:
(1): "x2" was replaced by "x^2".
Step by step solution :
Step 1 :
Equation at the end of step 1 :
(x2) - (2•5x25) = 0Step 2 :
Step 3 :
Pulling out like terms :
3.1 Pull out like factors :
x2 - 10x25 = -x2 • (10x23 - 1)
Equation at the end of step 3 :
-x2 • (10x23 - 1) = 0
Step 4 :
Theory - Roots of a product :
4.1 A product of several terms equals zero.
When a product of two or more terms equals zero, then at least one of the terms must be zero.
We shall now solve each term = 0 separately
In other words, we are going to solve as many equations as there are terms in the product
Any solution of term = 0 solves product = 0 as well.
Solving a Single Variable Equation :
4.2 Solve : -x2 = 0
Multiply both sides of the equation by (-1) : x2 = 0
When two things are equal, their square roots are equal. Taking the square root of the two sides of the equation we get:
x = ± √ 0
Any root of zero is zero. This equation has one solution which is x = 0
Solving a Single Variable Equation :
4.3 Solve : 10x23-1 = 0
Add 1 to both sides of the equation :
10x23 = 1
Divide both sides of the equation by 10:
x23 = 1/10 = 0.100
x = 23rd root of (1/10)
The equation has one real solution
This solution is x = 23rd root of ( 0.100) = 0.90474
Two solutions were found :
- x = 23rd root of ( 0.100) = 0.90474
- x = 0
