Solve for x x^6-6x^3+9=0

Problem

x6−6*x3+9=0

Solution

1. Identify the equation as a quadratic in form by noticing that x6 is the square of x3

2. Substitute a new variable u=x3 to rewrite the equation.

u2−6*u+9=0

3. Factor the quadratic expression, which is a perfect square trinomial.

(u−3)2=0

4. Solve for u by taking the square root of both sides.

u−3=0

u=3

5. Substitute back x3 for u to solve for x

x3=3

6. Apply the cube root to both sides to isolate x

x=√(3,3)

Final Answer

x=√(3,3)
