The correct Answer is:
To solve the equation \((2x-7)(x^2-9)(2x+5) = 91\), we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Rewrite the equation We start with the equation: \[ (2x-7)(x^2-9)(2x+5) = 91 \] We can rewrite \(x^2 - 9\) as \((x-3)(x+3)\) because it is a difference of squares. ### Step 2: Substitute the expression Substituting this back into the equation gives us: \[ (2x-7)(x-3)(x+3)(2x+5) = 91 \] ### Step 3: Move 91 to the left side Now, we can rewrite the equation as: \[ (2x-7)(x-3)(x+3)(2x+5) - 91 = 0 \] ### Step 4: Let \(t = 2x^2 - x\) To simplify the multiplication, we can let: \[ t = 2x^2 - x \] So we will express our equation in terms of \(t\). ### Step 5: Expand the left-hand side Now we will expand the left-hand side: \[ (2x-7)(x^2-9)(2x+5) = 0 \] This leads to: \[ (2x-7)(x^2-9)(2x+5) = (2x-7)(x-3)(x+3)(2x+5) \] ### Step 6: Expand and simplify We can expand \((2x-7)(2x+5)\) and \((x-3)(x+3)\): 1. \((x-3)(x+3) = x^2 - 9\) 2. \((2x-7)(2x+5) = 4x^2 - 14x + 10x - 35 = 4x^2 - 4x - 35\) Now we have: \[ (4x^2 - 4x - 35)(x^2 - 9) = 91 \] ### Step 7: Set up the quadratic equation Expanding this gives us a polynomial that we can set equal to zero: \[ 4x^4 - 36x^2 - 4x^3 + 36x - 35 + 91 = 0 \] This simplifies to: \[ 4x^4 - 4x^3 - 36x^2 + 36x + 56 = 0 \] ### Step 8: Factor the polynomial We can factor this polynomial. Let's look for rational roots or use synthetic division to find factors. ### Step 9: Solve for \(x\) After factoring, we will have: \[ (2x^2 - 7)(2x^2 + 8) = 0 \] Setting each factor to zero gives us: 1. \(2x^2 - 7 = 0 \Rightarrow x^2 = \frac{7}{2} \Rightarrow x = \pm \sqrt{\frac{7}{2}}\) 2. \(2x^2 + 8 = 0\) has no real solutions. ### Step 10: Final solutions Thus, the real solutions for \(x\) are: \[ x = \sqrt{\frac{7}{2}}, \quad x = -\sqrt{\frac{7}{2}} \]
