Capitolo 3, Problema 101

Solve: 5x3/4- 15 = 0.

Guida verificata passo dopo passo
1
Start with the given equation: \(5x^{\frac{3}{4}} - 15 = 0\).
Isolate the term with the variable by adding 15 to both sides: \(5x^{\frac{3}{4}} = 15\).
Divide both sides by 5 to solve for \(x^{\frac{3}{4}}\): \(x^{\frac{3}{4}} = \frac{15}{5}\).
Simplify the right side: \(x^{\frac{3}{4}} = 3\).
To solve for \(x\), raise both sides of the equation to the reciprocal power of \(\frac{3}{4}\), which is \(\frac{4}{3}\): \(\left(x^{\frac{3}{4}}\right)^{\frac{4}{3}} = 3^{\frac{4}{3}}\), simplifying to \(x = 3^{\frac{4}{3}}\).

Concetti chiave

Ecco i concetti essenziali che devi comprendere per rispondere correttamente alla domanda.

Solving Equations Involving Rational Exponents

Rational exponents represent roots and powers, such as x^(3/4) meaning the fourth root of x cubed. To solve equations with rational exponents, isolate the term with the exponent and then raise both sides to the reciprocal power to eliminate the exponent.
