QuestionSolve the equation graphically: with the solution .
Studdy Solution
STEP 1
Assumptions1. The equation to solve is .
. We are given that is a solution.
3. We will use the graphical method to solve the equation.
STEP 2
First, we need to rewrite the equation in a form that can be graphed. The equation is already in a form that can be graphed, so we can proceed to the next step.
STEP 3
Now, we will graph the function .
STEP 4
The graph of the function will be a curve that opens upwards because the leading coefficient (3) is positive and the degree of the polynomial is even (4).
STEP 5
We are given that is a solution to the equation. This means that when , the function equals zero. We can check this by substituting into the equation.
STEP 6
Substitute into the equation.
STEP 7
Calculate the value of when .
STEP 8
The value of when is not zero, so is not a solution to the equation .
STEP 9
To find the solutions to the equation, we need to find the values where the graph of the function intersects the x-axis. This is because the solutions to the equation are the values where .
STEP 10
The graph of the function does not intersect the x-axis, so the equation has no real solutions.
