    Could anyone else just see that x=0.5 because that is the only number for which x-1=-x, which must be true as 6 is an even power so the positive and negative version of x⁶ will be equal

    The reason that x has 5 values is not because “6-1=5”, but because if you expand the original equation on the right, both sides will have x^6. So in reality, the highest power of x is 5, which means there are 5 roots. Sorry if I have used the wrong terminologies, English is not my first language.

    Since r^2 >= 0 for each r from R, you can easily take 3rd root. Then you get x^2=(x-1)^2 (here we can be sure both sides are positive) and the computation is much easier.

    Alternate approach: square root both sides getting x³ = ±(x-1)³. The positive root becomes a quadratic, which is easy to deal with, and (2x-1) is a factor of the negative root, making another quadratic. It largely works out the same, just without the difference of squares step.

    Another way to do it is divide by x^6 (x=0 is not a root any way, so we can do it safely): [(x-1)/x ]^6 = 1 Then, we take 6-th root of 1 over the complex field and find 6 values exp(pi/3*i*n) for n=1..6: z1=1/2+i√3/2, z2=-1/2+i√3/2, z3=-1, z4=-1/2-i√3/2, z5=1/2-i√3/2, z6=1 Then, (x-1)/x =z x=1/(1-z). Substitute all of the branches z1 .. z6, exclude the values that are infeasible that don't yield any roots of x (such as z=1), and thus obtain the roots. I think it's a little bit faster.

    x=1/2; 10 secounds of thinking,.. For a given number and the result of subtraction to an even power to be the same result - it must be negative on one side and positive on the other, which will give a positive result in both cases, so it comes down to the equation: -x=x-1 or x =-(x+1), which is the same, because it comes down to -2x=-1 or 2x=1; x=1/2

    From the point of arriving at (a+b)(a-b) , we can equate each of the factors to 0 on the basis that at least one factor =0 and find the value of x , so in this case (x3 +(x-1)3)=0 would have given 1/2 Value.

    take sixth root of both sides. since it is a non-principle even root, you have to account for it by making both sides have plus-or-minus signs. this means +-x = +-(x - 1). since setting both sides to have the same sign will yield no solution, we can set x = -(x - 1). this means that x = -x + 1, or that 2x = 1, or that x = 1/2. that does it at least for real solutions- obviously with complex ones you have to go into the nitty-gritty of it all, but it’s relatively simple at least to find the one real solution that this equation has.

    Finding the real solution only is really easy if you do it right. When you raise a number to an even degree you will get the same thing as you would if you raise the negative version of that number to the same even degree, so all you have to do is figure out the solution to x-1=-x

Let theta be the angle of x, and that of x-1 as pi-theta. Thus, the angle difference 6*(pi-2*theta) is an integer multiple of 2*pi, meaning that 12*theta is such. The theta can be within 6 values. Given the positive real part, the theta is 0, 1/3, 5/3 times of pi.The solution in rectangular form is 1/2, 1/2+sqrt(3)/2*i, 1/2_sqrt(3)/2*i

    The real solution is obvious because of the +/- symmetry in the even power. The solution pair {2,3} and the solution pair {4,5} can be written in the same form, over a denominator of two, and should be written in the same form, because the powers of three are one half in the first pair and minus one half in the second, another symmetry which may lead to insight.

    First mistake: the equation was x^6 = (x-1)^6 so in your method that would reduce to x=x-1 not x=1-x. Second mistake: when removing the radical of an even power the rule is a^n = b^n rduces to |a| = |b|. So in this exqmple the reduction is |x| = |x-1| then solve for both x=x-1 and x=-(x-1) This first has no solution and the second x=-(x-1) can be solved for x = 1/2

    @@eyese Ok. In your coment yous said that you solved the equation X^6 = (X-1)^6 by removing the power of 6 from both sides. This left you with X = 1 - X which you then solved and got the correct answer. However you made two mistakes. One mistake is that you removed the power of 6 from the right hand of the equation and turned (X-1)^6 into 1-X. The actual phrase would have been X-1. If you had done this your equation would have been X=1-X which has no solution. The other mistake you made was just removing the power. When removing an even number power, you have to use the absolute function. For example, 1^6 = (-1)^6. this is because 1 raised to the sixth power is 1 and -1 raised to the sixth power is also 1. (-1 x -1 x -1 x -1 x -1 x -1 has an even number of negative signs so they all cancel each other out). So the proper reduction of the equation 1^6 = (-1)^6 would not be 1 = -1 but would be |1| = |-1|. At the same time reducing the equation with a higher-level power has the side effect of removing the number of possible solutions. In this example, the removal of the sixth power removed the ability for us to find the 4 additional complex solutions.

    It looks like a sixth-order equation, but it's actually a fifth-order equation, so it's correct that five distinct roots exist.

  • @user-bw1hy5it6j
    @user-bw1hy5it6j8 ай бұрын

    The explanation about why we have 5 solutions is wrong. If the equation has x power of n, we expect n solutions NOT (n-1) solution. The reason we have only 5 solutions here is the equation is indeed x power of 5 because x^6 on LHS and X^6 on RHS are cancels out to each other. We can easily tell the coefficient of x^6 on RHS is 1 without expanding (x-1)^6.

    Here is the chat GPT answer. Almost the same but not totally (why ?) : ChatGPT is talking : (after taking the sixth roots both side...) It appears that we obtained an inconsistent equation (1 = 0 ), which means there are no real solutions to the original equation X^6 = (X-1)^6 However, it's important to note that the equation X^6 = (X-1)^6 has complex solutions. These complex solutions involve roots of unity, and they are not real numbers. If you're interested in complex solutions, you can use the fact that (X-1)^6 = X^6 when X is a sixth root of unity. The complex sixth roots of unity are given by: Xk = e ^ 2πik/6 ​ where k = 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 These complex solutions satisfy X^6 = (X-1)^6 . .

    Way way too complicated. Here is how to destroy this poor little thing. First of all we notice that X=0 is not solution of the equation and since x=0 x^6=0 we can divide everything by x^6. We obtain: (1-1/x)^6=1 Let's call z=1-1/x. Our equation is z^6=1. Let's solve this in C and write z=r.exp(i.theta). We can write our equation as follow: [r.exp(i.theta)]^6=exp(2.i.pi) or: r^6.exp(6.i.theta)=exp(2.i.pi) Which forces r=1 and theta=k.pi/3 where k is a relative integer. The possibles values are then 1, -1, j, -j, j² and -j² where j=exp(2.i.p/3). 1-1/x=1 has no solution. 1-1/x=-1 implies that x=1/2. 1-1/x=-j => 1/x=1+j but since j and j² are solutions of z²+z+1=0 that means that 1+j=-j²=exp(i.pi.3). Then x=exp(-i.pi/3)=-j 1-1/x=-j² => x=-j² for the same reasons. 1-1/x=j => x=1/(1-j) and this time there is no trick so let's get into it... 1/(1-j)=1/[3/2-i.sqrt(3)/2]=2/(3-i.sqrt(3)]=2(3+i.sqrt(3))/(9+3)=1/2+i.sqrt(3)/6. And finally for 1-1/x=j² we replace i.sqrt(3)/2 by its opposite and we find 1/2-i.sqrt(3)/6.

    A similar solution would be as follows and uses mostly geometric arguments in the complex plane. First observe that x⁶=(x-1)⁶ means that in the complex plane, x has the same distance from 0 and from 1, so its real part is 1/2. If we write x in polar coordinates as x=r*exp(i*a) (with a strictly between -π/2 and π/2, as the real part of x is positive), then x-1=r*exp(i*(π-a)) by symmetry. Now x⁶=(x-1)⁶ is equivalent to 6a and 6(π-a) differing by a multiple of 2π, which in turn is equivalent to a being a multiple of π/6. So the only possible values for a are 0, ±π/6 and ±π/3. From this, we get the values for x via x=1/2+i*tan(a)/2.

    There should actually be (up to) 6 roots for a 6th order polynomial. During the mass expansion and cancellation, one of the terms ended up being the constant (1), which promptly got ignored in this video. Had this factor had an x term that would be your sixth root. Otherwise, this implies that one of the solutions found is in fact a double root. Likely the real one but i dunno.
