solve the equation? x^6-9x^3+8=0

OpenStudy (anonymous):

my q is x^6-9X^3+8=0

OpenStudy (tkhunny):

Think of is as Quadratic. x^3 = ???

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah but how it wil solve

OpenStudy (tkhunny):

How would you solve this? y^2 - 9y + 8 = 0

hero (hero):

Hint: Let x^3 = y, then x^6 = y^2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i did that but i have got only two s.s which are {2,1} but its solution set should have 6 answers

OpenStudy (tkhunny):

You quit too soon. (x^3 - 8)(x^3 - 1) = 0 Factor each of those two factors (difference of cubes) and all six solutions will present themselves.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes i did x^3=8 , x^3=1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x^3=2^3 ' x^3=1^0.5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

now what dear i have got only two will you plz help me

OpenStudy (tkhunny):

That's no good. You didn't FACTOR. (x^3 - 8) = (x - 2)(x^2 + 2x + 4)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh gr8 thank u so much

OpenStudy (tkhunny):

Write it in your brain -- factor, factor, factor, factor, factor....

OpenStudy (anonymous):

really thanks tkhunny mje bht tnsn thi ab bilkul khtam ho gai

another problem how to solve this 8x^6-19x^3-27=0

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[x^6-9 x^3+8=(x-2) (x-1) \left(x^2+x+1\right) \left(x^2+2 x+4\right) \]Only two real roots, Refer to the attached plot.

OpenStudy (tkhunny):

@RanaFahdi You DO know what I'm going to say, right? Is it written in your brain? (x^3 + 1)(8x^3 - 27) = 0 Now what? Note: I do agree with RobTobey, but keep in mind that the other four are from quadratic factors and can be found easily, even though they are Complex and not Real.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@RanaFahdi \[8 x^6-19 x^3-27=(x+1) (2 x-3) \left(x^2-x+1\right) \left(4 x^2+6 x+9\right) \]There are only two real roots, -1 and 3/2. The other four are:\[\pm (-1)^{1/3} \text{and} \frac{3}{4} \left(-1\pm i \sqrt{3}\right) \] A plot is attached.
