solve for 0: (x^5)+(x^3)-6x = 0

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how do you solve with powers to 5?

OpenStudy (radar):

\[x ^{5}+x ^{3}+-6x=0\]\[x(x ^{4}+x ^{2}-6=0\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sorry, i meant factor x

OpenStudy (radar):

\[x(x ^{2}+3)(x ^{2}-2)=0\]\[x=0\]\[x=\sqrt{2}\]\[x=\sqrt{3i}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so real roots are 0, and there are imaginary?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks

OpenStudy (radar):

5 roots, 0, -sq rt 2, sq rt 2 (these are real) i(sq rt -3). i(-sq rt -3) imaginary.
