: Factor the expression on the left side of each equation. Then solve the equation.
x^6+16x^3+64=0
I can find the answer in the back of the book however, i do not understand how they got the answer.
The answer is:
(x+2)^2 (x^2-2x+4)^2 This question is from textbook 1
You can put this solution on YOUR website!
If you look at this, you see that x^6 is x^3 squared and 64 is 8^2. 16 is twice 8, so you can factor it into
Now you can see that this is the sum of 2 cubes. There is a formula for factoring sum of two cubes.
