The correct Answer is:
To solve the equation \( x^3 - 9x = 9 - x^2 \) and determine which of the following cannot be the value of \( x \), we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Rearrange the equation Start by moving all terms to one side of the equation: \[ x^3 - 9x + x^2 - 9 = 0 \] ### Step 2: Combine like terms Rearranging the terms gives: \[ x^3 + x^2 - 9x - 9 = 0 \] ### Step 3: Factor the equation We can factor the equation by grouping. First, we can group the first two terms and the last two terms: \[ (x^3 + x^2) + (-9x - 9) = 0 \] Factoring out common terms from each group: \[ x^2(x + 1) - 9(x + 1) = 0 \] Now, factor out the common factor \((x + 1)\): \[ (x + 1)(x^2 - 9) = 0 \] ### Step 4: Further factor the quadratic The quadratic \(x^2 - 9\) can be factored as a difference of squares: \[ (x + 1)(x - 3)(x + 3) = 0 \] ### Step 5: Set each factor to zero Now, set each factor equal to zero: 1. \(x + 1 = 0 \Rightarrow x = -1\) 2. \(x - 3 = 0 \Rightarrow x = 3\) 3. \(x + 3 = 0 \Rightarrow x = -3\) ### Step 6: List the possible values of \(x\) The possible values of \(x\) are: - \(x = -1\) - \(x = 3\) - \(x = -3\) ### Step 7: Identify which value cannot be \(x\) If the options provided include values such as \(1\), \(2\), or any other number not in the list above, we can conclude that those values cannot be \(x\). Assuming the options include \(1\), \(2\), \(3\), and \(-1\), the value that cannot be \(x\) is: - \(1\) (since \(1\) is not among the values we found). ### Conclusion Thus, the value that cannot be \(x\) is \(1\). ---
