The correct Answer is:
To solve the equation \( x^3 - 6x^2 + 4x - 7 = 0 \) by removing the second term (the second higher power of \( x \), which is \( -6x^2 \)), we will perform a substitution. Let's go through the steps: ### Step 1: Substitute \( x = y + h \) We will substitute \( x \) with \( y + h \), where \( h \) is a constant that we will determine later. ### Step 2: Expand the equation Substituting \( x \) in the equation gives us: \[ (y + h)^3 - 6(y + h)^2 + 4(y + h) - 7 = 0 \] ### Step 3: Expand \( (y + h)^3 \) and \( (y + h)^2 \) Using the binomial expansion: \[ (y + h)^3 = y^3 + 3y^2h + 3yh^2 + h^3 \] \[ (y + h)^2 = y^2 + 2yh + h^2 \] Now substituting these expansions into the equation: \[ y^3 + 3y^2h + 3yh^2 + h^3 - 6(y^2 + 2yh + h^2) + 4(y + h) - 7 = 0 \] ### Step 4: Simplify the equation Now we simplify the equation: \[ y^3 + 3y^2h + 3yh^2 + h^3 - 6y^2 - 12yh - 6h^2 + 4y + 4h - 7 = 0 \] ### Step 5: Collect like terms Collecting the terms based on powers of \( y \): \[ y^3 + (3h - 6)y^2 + (3h^2 - 12h + 4)y + (h^3 - 6h^2 + 4h - 7) = 0 \] ### Step 6: Remove the \( y^2 \) term To remove the \( y^2 \) term, we set the coefficient of \( y^2 \) to zero: \[ 3h - 6 = 0 \] Solving for \( h \): \[ 3h = 6 \implies h = 2 \] ### Step 7: Substitute \( h \) back into the equation Now substitute \( h = 2 \) back into the equation: \[ y^3 + (3(2)^2 - 12(2) + 4)y + (2^3 - 6(2^2) + 4(2) - 7) = 0 \] Calculating the coefficients: - For \( y \): \( 3(2) - 12 + 4 = 6 - 12 + 4 = -2 \) - For the constant term: \( 8 - 24 + 8 - 7 = -15 \) ### Final Equation Thus, the equation simplifies to: \[ y^3 - 2y - 15 = 0 \] ### Summary of Steps: 1. Substitute \( x = y + h \). 2. Expand the equation. 3. Simplify and collect like terms. 4. Set the coefficient of \( y^2 \) to zero to find \( h \). 5. Substitute \( h \) back to get the final equation.
