1. correct, I would change √24 to 2√6
2. 9x^3 - 25x = 0
x(9x^2 - 25) = 0
x(3x+5)(3x-5) = 0
x = 0, ±5/3
3. simplify to x^2 - 2x -1 = 0
then use the quadratic formula
4. x^3 - 2x^2 + 4x - 8 = 0
x^2(x-2) + 4(x-2) = 0
(x-2)(x^2+4) = 0
x = 2 or x = ±2i
Solve:
1.) 2x² + 24 = x²
The answers I obtained were:
x = i√24 and x= -i√24 are these correct?
2.) 9x³ = 25x
3.) 5x² - x = 7x² - 5x - 2
4.) 2x² = x³ + 4x - 8
~Thank you
