1. x^6 - 25x^4 = 0.
x^4(x^2-25) = 0
x^4(x+5)(x-5) = 0.
x+5 = 0
X = -5.
x-5 = 0
X = 5.
Solution set: X = -5,and X = 5.
2. y^3 - 3y^2 = 16y-48.
y^3 - 3y^2 - 16y + 48 = 0
(y^3-3y^2) - (16y-48) = 0
y^2(y-3) - 16(y-3) = 0
(y-3)(y^2-16) = 0
(y-3)(y+4(y-4) = 0
Solution set: Y = 3,-4, and 4.
3. x^3 + 2x^2 - 9x - 18 = 0.
(x^3+2x^2) - (9x+18) = 0
x^2(x+2) - 9(x+2) = 0
(x+2)(x^2-9) = 0
(x+2)(x+3)(x-3) = 0.
Solution set: X = -2,-3, and 3.
The remaining problems are very similar
to the previous three.
