Hi good people!,
Please help me out here...Solve for x in the equation:
\(x^{1 \over3}=4{1 \over x^3}\)
what I did was raise everything to another power of 3,
\(x=64{1 \over x^9}\),
then multiplied by \(x^9\)
\(x^{10}=64\),
then I'm stuck...
Here is my solution.
\(x^\frac{1}{3} = y\)
y = 4 / y
y^2 = 4
y = 2
\(x^\frac{1}{3}=2\)
x = the cube root of 2
I hope this helped,
Gavin
Never mind, I though the denominator was \(x^\frac{1}{3}\)
My answer is wrong.
Solve for x:
x^(1/3) = 4/x^3
Raise both sides to the power of three:
x = 64/x^9
Cross multiply:
x^10 = 64 Take the 10th root of both sides
x = 2^(3/5) or x= (-2)^(3/5)
These 2 solutions are the only real solution to balance the equation.
x^{1 \over3}=4{1 \over x^3}
\(x^{1 \over3}=4{1 \over x^3}\\ x^{1 \over3}=4x^{-3}\\ x=4^3*x^{-9}\\ x^{10}=4^3\\ x=4^{3/10}\\ x=2^{3/5}\\ x=\sqrt[5]{8}\\ x\approx 1.5157 \)
this is the only positive real answer.
I think our guest's negative answer also works. It may not work with convention though
The cube root is in the question. so is a negative allowed.. I am not sure.
I think there are other complex answers as well.
Hi Melody,
a Million thank you's...I think your answer is closest to what I believe the answer should be. I do appreciate!
One more try:
a\(x^{\frac{1}{3}}=4{\frac{1}{x^3}}\)
definition:
\({\color{black}is}\ 4\frac{1}{3}=4 +\frac{1}{3}\ {\color{black}so\ is}\ 4\frac{1}{x^3}=4 +\frac{1}{x^3}\)
\(x^{\frac{1}{3}}=4+{\frac{1}{x^3}}\) | \(\times x^3\)
\(x^{\frac{10}{3}}=4x^3+1\)
\(f(x)=4x^3-x^{\frac{10}{3}}+1 \neq 0\)
The function has a minimum in P (0;1).
The function has no zero.
!
asinus,
wow, this is something else!!..would never have thought of going that route. I do appreciate your help! Thank you..
