Answer 1

To solve the equation, we need to isolate the variable f.

Starting with the equation: 2f^5 - 85 + 2f = 8

First, let's combine like terms.
2f^5 + 2f - 85 = 8

Next, let's move the constant term to the other side of the equation.
2f^5 + 2f = 8 + 85

Simplifying the right side of the equation gives us:
2f^5 + 2f = 93

Now, let's divide the equation by 2 to remove the coefficient in front of f.
f^5 + f = 46.5

To solve for f, we need to isolate the variable. Let's subtract 46.5 from both sides of the equation.
f^5 + f - 46.5 = 0

Unfortunately, this equation cannot be easily solved using traditional algebraic methods. It requires the use of numerical methods or a graphing calculator to approximate the solution.
