To solve this equation, we need to expand both sides and simplify:
Expanding the left side:X(x-1)(x+5)= X(x^2 + 5x - x - 5)= X(x^2 + 4x - 5)
Expanding the right side:(x+3)^2(x-2)= (x+3)(x+3)(x-2)= (x^2 + 6x + 9)(x-2)= x^3 + 6x^2 + 9x - 2x^2 - 12x - 18= x^3 + 4x^2 - 3x - 18
Setting the two expanded expressions equal to each other:X(x^2 + 4x - 5) = x^3 + 4x^2 - 3x - 18
Multiplying out the left side:X*x^2 + 4Xx - 5X = x^3 + 4x^2 - 3x - 18
Rearranging the equation:X*x^2 + 4Xx - 5X - x^3 - 4x^2 + 3x + 18 = 0x^3 + (4X-1)x^2 + (3-4X)x + 18 - 5X = 0
Comparing this with the general cubic equation ax^3 + bx^2 + cx + d = 0, we can see that:a = 1b = 4X - 1c = 3 - 4Xd = 18 - 5X
For this equation to hold true, the coefficients of the cubic equation must be equal. Hence,1 = 14X - 1 = 43 - 4X = -318 - 5X = 0
Solving these equations, we find that X = 3.
Therefore, the solution to the equation X(x-1)(x+5) = (x+3)^2(x-2) is X = 3.
To solve this equation, we need to expand both sides and simplify:
Expanding the left side:
X(x-1)(x+5)
= X(x^2 + 5x - x - 5)
= X(x^2 + 4x - 5)
Expanding the right side:
(x+3)^2(x-2)
= (x+3)(x+3)(x-2)
= (x^2 + 6x + 9)(x-2)
= x^3 + 6x^2 + 9x - 2x^2 - 12x - 18
= x^3 + 4x^2 - 3x - 18
Setting the two expanded expressions equal to each other:
X(x^2 + 4x - 5) = x^3 + 4x^2 - 3x - 18
Multiplying out the left side:
X*x^2 + 4Xx - 5X = x^3 + 4x^2 - 3x - 18
Rearranging the equation:
X*x^2 + 4Xx - 5X - x^3 - 4x^2 + 3x + 18 = 0
x^3 + (4X-1)x^2 + (3-4X)x + 18 - 5X = 0
Comparing this with the general cubic equation ax^3 + bx^2 + cx + d = 0, we can see that:
a = 1
b = 4X - 1
c = 3 - 4X
d = 18 - 5X
For this equation to hold true, the coefficients of the cubic equation must be equal. Hence,
1 = 1
4X - 1 = 4
3 - 4X = -3
18 - 5X = 0
Solving these equations, we find that X = 3.
Therefore, the solution to the equation X(x-1)(x+5) = (x+3)^2(x-2) is X = 3.
