Nonlinear equations

Step by Step Solution

Rearrange:

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

                     2*x^29*12-(x^2)=0 

Step by step solution :

Step  1  :

Equation at the end of step  1  :

  (2x29 • 12) -  x2  = 0 

Step  2  :

Multiplying exponents :

 2.1    21  multiplied by  22   = 2(1 + 2) = 23

Equation at the end of step  2  :

  (23•3x29) -  x2  = 0 

Step  3  :

Step  4  :

Pulling out like terms :

 4.1     Pull out like factors :

   24x29 - x2  =   x2 • (24x27 - 1) 

Trying to factor as a Difference of Cubes:

 4.2      Factoring:  24x27 - 1 

Theory : A difference of two perfect cubes,  a3 - b3 can be factored into
              (a-b) • (a2 +ab +b2)

Proof :  (a-b)•(a2+ab+b2) =
            a3+a2b+ab2-ba2-b2a-b3 =
            a3+(a2b-ba2)+(ab2-b2a)-b3 =
            a3+0+0-b3 =
            a3-b3


Check :  24  is not a cube !!

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

Equation at the end of step  4  :

  x2 • (24x27 - 1)  = 0 

Step  5  :

Theory - Roots of a product :

 5.1    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 :

 5.2      Solve  :    x2 = 0 

 
Solution is  x2 = 0

Solving a Single Variable Equation :

 5.3      Solve  :    24x27-1 = 0 

 
Add  1  to both sides of the equation : 
 
                     24x27 = 1
Divide both sides of the equation by 24:
                     x27 = 1/24 = 0.042
                     x  =  27th root of (1/24) 

 
The equation has one real solution
This solution is  x = 27th root of ( 0.042) = 0.88896

Two solutions were found :

  1.  x = 27th root of ( 0.042) = 0.88896
  2.  x2 = 0
