Nonlinear equationsStep 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 :
- x = 27th root of ( 0.042) = 0.88896
- x2 = 0
