Solve: 2x2/3 - 5x1/3 -3 = 0.

검증된 단계별 안내
1
Rewrite the equation by substituting a new variable to simplify the exponents. Let \( y = x^{1/3} \), so \( x^{2/3} = y^2 \). The equation becomes \( 2y^2 - 5y - 3 = 0 \).
Recognize that the equation \( 2y^2 - 5y - 3 = 0 \) is a quadratic equation. Use the quadratic formula \( y = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a} \), where \( a = 2 \), \( b = -5 \), and \( c = -3 \).
Substitute the values of \( a \), \( b \), and \( c \) into the quadratic formula to find \( y \). This gives \( y = \frac{-(-5) \pm \sqrt{(-5)^2 - 4(2)(-3)}}{2(2)} \). Simplify the expression under the square root and the rest of the formula.
Once you solve for \( y \), remember that \( y = x^{1/3} \). Rewrite the solutions for \( y \) as \( x^{1/3} = y \), and then cube both sides to solve for \( x \). This gives \( x = y^3 \).
Verify the solutions by substituting them back into the original equation \( 2x^{2/3} - 5x^{1/3} - 3 = 0 \) to ensure they satisfy the equation. Discard any extraneous solutions if necessary.
