Answer:

Please check explanations

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the factored form, all we have to do is to equate each of the factor to zero, then solve for x

The particular value of x represents the solution that shows the value of the x-intercept

for example

In a case of a quadratic equation where we have

(x-a)(x-b) = 0

Then we can have

(x-a) = 0 or ((x-b) = 0

Then we have x = a or x = b

a and b are the x intercepts in this case

Find the real solution(s) of the equation. Round your answer to two decimal places when appropriate. 5x^6=30

Elina [12.6K]

Answer:

The real solutions are

$x=\sqrt[6]{6}\approx 1.35\\\\\:x=-\sqrt[6]{6}\approx -1.35$

Step-by-step explanation:

The solution, or root, of an equation is any value or set of values that can be substituted into the equation to make it a true statement.

To find the real solutions of the equation $5x^6=30$ :

$\mathrm{Divide\:both\:sides\:by\:}5\\\\\frac{5x^6}{5}=\frac{30}{5}\\\\\mathrm{Simplify}\\\\x^6=6\\\\\mathrm{For\:}x^n=f\left(a\right)\mathrm{,\:n\:is\:even,\:the\:solutions\:are\:}x=\sqrt[n]{f\left(a\right)},\:-\sqrt[n]{f\left(a\right)}\\\\x=\sqrt[6]{6}\approx 1.35\\\\\:x=-\sqrt[6]{6}\approx -1.35$
