Question

What is the solution set of x for the given equation? x^2/3-x^1/3+4=6 A. -2, -1 B. 2, -1 C. -8, -1 D. 8, -1 E. 2, 8

Answer 1

Answer: The answer is D.

Step-by-step explanation: Ok, we start by simplifing the equation to 3√x^2 - 3√x=2. Now, by plugging the possible options in, we can find the answer. You find that -1 is a possible answer for x, so that eliminates E. Since there is no cube root for 2, we elimate A and B. By plugging in C and D, you find that C=6, not C=2. So D must be the answer.
