You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Graph f(x)=5x-x³ -x⁵\r

\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "-x(x⁴+x² - 5)=0
\n" ); document.write( "----------------
\n" ); document.write( "Do you want to graph it or solve it?
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( " $\"5x+-+x%5E3+-+x%5E5+=+0\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"-x%28x%5E4+%2B+x%5E2+-+5%29+=+0\"$
\n" ); document.write( "x = 0 is one solution.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x%5E4+%2B+x%5E2+-+5+=+0\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Sub u for x^2
\n" ); document.write( " $\"u%5E2+%2B+u+-+5+=+0\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Now it's a quadratic, solve for u.
\n" ); document.write( "Sub back x^2 for u, etc.
\n" ); document.write( "===============
\n" ); document.write( "To graph it, pick values for x and find f(x), as always.
