if 4x2-6x+1=0 then what is value of 8x3+(8x3)-1
Answers
Answer:
It helps if you properly identify denominators. We presume your expressions are
.. x + 1/(4x) = 3/2
.. 8x^3 + 1/(8x^3)
Multiply the first by 4x and subtract 6x to get a quadratic:
.. 4x^2 - 6x + 1 = 0
This has solutions
.. x = (3 ± √5)/4
Recognize the second expression is
.. y + 1/y
where
.. y = (2x)^3
You know that
.. (a+b)^3 = a^3 + 3a^2b + 3ab^2 + b^3
so
.. y = (2x)^3 = (1/8)(3^3 ± 3(3^2)(√5) + 3(3)(5) ± 5√5)
.. = (1/8)(27 ± 27√5 + 45 ± 5√5)
.. = 9 ± 4√5
and
.. y + 1/y = (9 ± 4√5) + 1/(9 ± 4√5)
.. = 9 ± 4√5 + (9 ∓ 4√5)/(9^2 - 4^2*5) ... rationalize the denominator (=1)
.. = 9 ± 4√5 + 9 ∓ 4√5 ... root 5 terms cancel
.. = 18
Step-by-step explanation:
4x2 -6x+1=0
8-6x+1=0
8-6x=-1
6x = -1-8
6x = -9
x= -9/-6
x= 3/2 ------>>> is the answer
