solving equations:
1. Solve the equation x3 - 3x2 - 4x + 12 = 0.
i took the 12 to the other side of the equals bar and got: x3-3x2-4x=-12
2. Solve the equation (2x - 1)1/2 = 7.
i multiplied both numbers in paranthesis by 1/2 and then took the number to the other side of the fraction bqar:
(x-1/2)=7
(x)=7 1/2
3. Solve the equation x6 - 1 = 0. Find only the real number solutions.
I know it has something to do with finding x5,x4,x3,x2,x1 but i do not understand how to find those values.
4. Solve the absolute value equation | 6x + 2 | = 5.
i took the 2 to the other side of the equals bar and got:
|6x|=3
x=1/2
5. Solve the equation 2x4 - 3x3 - 2x2 = 0.
Same as 3, i have to find the x value but again, how do i get it?
thanks guys for all your help!
