9x^(2/3)-26x^(1/3)-3=0
---------------------------
The standard method solving equations like this is as follows.
Introduce new variable
y = x^(1/3) = (1).
Then your equation takes the form
- - = . (2)
It is a quadratic equation for y. Solve it using the quadratic formula:
= = = .
Thus the equation (2) has two solutions: = 3; = .
Now, to find x, you need solve two equations ( recall (1) ):
1) = 3. To solve it, raise both side to the degree 3: x = = 27.
2) = . To solve it, raise both side to the degree 3: x = = .
Answer. There are two solutions of the original equation: x = 27 and x = .
