Solve 4x^6 -25 - ScanMath

Question

Factor the expression

(2 x^{3} - 5) (2 x^{3} + 5)

Evaluate

4 x^{6} - 25

Rewrite the expression in exponential form

(2 x^{3})^{2} - 5^{2}

Solution

(2 x^{3} - 5) (2 x^{3} + 5)

Show Solution

x_{1} = - \frac{3 20}{2}, x_{2} = \frac{3 20}{2}

Alternative Form

x_{1} \approx - 1.357209, x_{2} \approx 1.357209

Evaluate

4 x^{6} - 25

To find the roots of the expression,set the expression equal to 0

4 x^{6} - 25 = 0

Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign

4 x^{6} = 0 + 25

Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression

4 x^{6} = 25

Divide both sides

\frac{4 x ^{6}}{4} = \frac{25}{4}

Divide the numbers

x^{6} = \frac{25}{4}

Take the root of both sides of the equation and remember to use both positive and negative roots

x = \pm 6 \frac{25}{4}
