The equation `(6-x)^4+(8-x)^4=16` has

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

After a change of variable,
`y=((6-x)+(8-x))/2`
`:.y=7-x` or `x=7-y`
Now put `x=7-y` in given equation, we get
`(y-1)^(4)+(y+1)^(4)=16`
`impliesy^(4)+6y^(2)-7=0`
`=(y^(2)+7)(y^(2)-1)=0`
`y^(2)+7!=0`
[`y` gives imaginary values]
`:.y^(2)-1=0`
Then `y_(1)=-1` and `y_(2)=1`
Thus `x_(1)=8` and `x_(2)=6` are the roots of the given equation.
