Question 37712: Prove that (2x-1)^(1/4)= -1 has no solution at all
Answer by Nate(3500) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
(2x-1)^(1/4)= -1 original
(2x-1)^(1/4)(4)= -1^1(4) multiply the exponents by four
2x - 1 = 1
2x = 2
x = 1
Now, plug in one for 'x' in the equation. You should get positive one. So, there are no solutions.
