The equation  x^6+6x^3+5=0 which is a sixth order equation can be solved easily by making a substitution that turns the equation into an equivalent quadratic equation.

We will make the substitution, x^3=y , to simplify the equation. The two roots of this equation are x=-1,x=-5^{{1}/{3}}

x^6+6x^3+5=(x^3)^2+6x^3+5=y^2+6y+5=0.

The next step is to solve for y in the equation on the right by factorization. We will look for two factors of 5 that add up to 6 and then use those factors to factorize the quadratic equation.

y^2+6y+5=0\\(y+1)(y+5)=0\\=>y=-1,y=-5

The next step is to change back from y to x starting with

y=-1.

x^3=y\\x^3=-1\\=>x=(-1)^{{1}/{3}}=-1.

The next step is to work out the value of x when  y=-5.x^3=y\\x^3=-5\\=>x=(-5)^{{1}/{3}}=-5^{{1}/{3}}

We are given equation :x^6+6x^3+5=0

Use\:the\:rational\:root\:theorem

\mathrm{Therefore,\:we\:need\:to\:check\:the\:following\:rational\:numbers:\quad }\pm \frac{1,\:5}{1}

-\frac{1}{1}\mathrm{\:is\:a\:root\:of\:the\:expression,\:so\:factor\:out\:}x+1

\mathrm{Compute\:}\frac{x^6+6x^3+5}{x+1}\mathrm{\:to\:get\:the\:rest\:of\:the\:eqution:\quad }x^5-x^4+x^3+5x^2-5x+5

Therefore, final factored form it

x^6\:+\:6x^3\:+\:5=\left(x+1\right)\left(x^5-x^4+x^3+5x^2-5x+5\right)

We can't factor it more.

Therefore,

x+1=0.

x=-1.

Therefore, the real solution of the equation would be -1.

What is the equation of the line in point slope form given a slope of -3 and a point of (-2,-5)?​
Lelu [443]

Answer:

y = -3x - 11

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the given slope and point in the point-slope equation. Solving this will give us the y-intercept equation.

Point-slope formula: y - y = m(x - x)

Plug in the slope and point

y - (-5) = -3(x - (-2))

Subtracting negatives will make them positive. Multiply out the -3 to what is in the parentheses.

y + 5 = -3x - 6

Subtract the 5 from both sides

y = -3x - 11

The equation of the line is y = -3x - 11

#6: Tell whether the function below is 1 point<br> linear or exponential.<br> *<br> f(x) = -1/4x + 5
Pachacha [2.7K]

Answer:

Linear function

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

f(x) = -\frac{1}{4}x + 5

Required

Linear or Exponential

A linear equation has the form: f(x) = mx + c;

An exponential has the form: f(x) = ab^x

By comparing both functions to: f(x) = -\frac{1}{4}x + 5

The linear function is similar to f(x) = -\frac{1}{4}x + 5

<em>Hence, the given function is a linear function.</em>

2π - 4√5

(= -2.66 to nearest hundredth).

Step-by-step explanation:

√(2π - 4√5)^2

= 2π - 4√5             (by the definition of a square root)

If you want an approximate value it is

-2.66 to the nearest hundredth
