Nonlinear equations

Step by Step Solution

Step by step solution :

Step  1  :

Equation at the end of step  1  :

  (22x25 • x) -  6  = 0 

Step  2  :

Step  3  :

Pulling out like terms :

 3.1     Pull out like factors :

   4x26 - 6  =   2 • (2x26 - 3) 

Trying to factor as a Difference of Squares :

 3.2      Factoring:  2x26 - 3 

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 :  2  is not a square !!

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

Equation at the end of step  3  :

  2 • (2x26 - 3)  = 0 

Step  4  :

Equations which are never true :

 4.1      Solve :    2   =  0

This equation has no solution.
A a non-zero constant never equals zero.

Solving a Single Variable Equation :

 4.2      Solve  :    2x26-3 = 0 

 
Add  3  to both sides of the equation : 
 
                     2x26 = 3
Divide both sides of the equation by 2:
                     x26 = 3/2 = 1.500
                     x  =  26th root of (3/2) 

 
The equation has two real solutions  
 
These solutions are  x = 26th root of ( 1.500) = ± 1.01572  
 

Two solutions were found :

                   x = 26th root of ( 1.500) = ± 1.01572
