4(3x-3)^2/3=36
I can start by taking 4 from each side so it becomes (3x-3)^2/3=9 but from here I'm lost
I know the answers should be 10 and -8 but I don't know how to get there
|dw:1424247014454:dw|
I have to use Rational exponents to find the answer and x should = 10 and -8
@ganeshie8
Please note that if I multiply both sides of your original equation by 3, I get: \[4{\left( {3x - 2} \right)^2} = 108\] next I divide both sides, by 4, and I can write: \[{\left( {3x - 2} \right)^2} = 27\]
finally I take the square root of both sides: \[3x - 2 = \pm 3\sqrt 3 \]
:o...i guess i used the lengthy method :p
nevertheless it is correct @SyedMohammed98
ok that just made me more lost i guess since they are showing us a different way. hum
ill wait and ask the teacher since it her way of teaching that is confusing me
please note that you have to solve these two equations: \[\begin{gathered} 3x - 2 = + 3\sqrt 3 \hfill \\ 3x - 2 = - 3\sqrt 3 \hfill \\ \end{gathered} \]
I think i have that i just need to do it they way they are showing since i have to show my work i think i almost have it
I'm sorry, since I have made an error please I rewrite those equation which you have to solve: \[\begin{gathered} 3x - 3 = + 3\sqrt 3 \hfill \\ 3x - 3 = - 3\sqrt 3 \hfill \\ \end{gathered} \]
Is the question \(4(3x-3)^{2/3} = 36\)?
yes
I have made an error @Jhannybean
\[(3x-3)^{2/3} = 9 \implies \sqrt[3]{(3x-3)^2} =9\]\[\left(\sqrt[3]{(3x-3)^2}\right)^3 =(9)^3\]\[(3x-2)^2 = 9^3\]\[3x-2=9^{3/2}\]etc....
ok thank you that looks right
\[9^{3/2} = 27\]
\[x=\frac{27+2}{3}\]
please note that we have: \[3x - 3 = \pm 27\]
Oh yeah, whoops.
In my earlier step, i forgot the \(\pm\).. \[3x-2 = \pm 9^{3/2}\]
I got it now thank you
