    Great work!
    As a college lecturer of mathematics (and also engineer), I always avoid even writing compound numbers, like the 7 1/2 given partway through this video -- compound numbers are ambiguous. Compound numbers should have no place in higher mathematics. In cooking recipes, fine, but not higher math. Also, I always teach the formula that "if a^2 = b, then a = +/- sqrt(b)", where the +/- is applied immediately. This was skipped for one step.

    Solving the equation will be greatly simplified after the substitution y= x-9
    (y-1)²+y³+(y+1)⁴=2
    y²-2y+1+y³+y⁴+4y³+6y²+4y+1=2
    y⁴+5y³+6y²+2y=0
    The first root is y=0, x=9
    y³+5y²+6y+2=0
    The next root will be searched from integer dividers of the last coefficient 2, i.e.
    y=±1,±2, checking only negative ones
    y=-1,-2
    So y=-1 is the next root (x=8)
    Dividing the polynomial by (y+1) we'll get the quadratic equation
    y²+4y+2=0
    (y+2)²=2
    y=-2±√2, x=7±√2
    So we've got 4 roots:
    y=0,-1,-2±√2
    x=9,8,7±√2

    I would have taken a = x - 9. My intuition is, that it will solve nicely... BTW: First obvious solution is x = 9...

    A substituição de variáveis é uma forma elegante de resolver essa equação.

    Don't do square root both side like that.
    If a²= b, a1 = +√b, a2= -√b, because radical √b always positives.

      He never takes care of this... But he can take 30s to explain why "x-8=y x=y+8)". Mysteries...

    The one of root of this equation is 9
    Use intuition

    Bu kadar işleme ne gerek var
    Sonuç iki ise Üç işlemden bir tanesi -1 bir tanesi 0 birtanesi ise +1 olacak üsler zaten çift bu sebebten x=9 çıkar

    7:43 It's not ±1. It's only +1.

      No, it's right.
      Because we can solve (a² - 1) to (a + 1) * (a - 1). There are 1 and -1, so it's right

    • @jeevacation
      @jeevacation 10 місяців тому +1

      No because you can do -1 * -1 = 1

    • @LooneyKids847
      @LooneyKids847 10 місяців тому

      That is right but when we use roots we only want the positive answer.

    • @jeevacation
      @jeevacation 10 місяців тому +1

      yes but for finding zeroes we go both side of the num line@@LooneyKids847

      @@LooneyKids847 sqrt(x) is always non-negative in IR, that's why we write a = +/- sqrt(1), but that's long form of a = -1 v a = 1.
      This is obviously a polynomial of grade 4, that has exactly 4 solutions (and, see, all of them are real, even positive!)...
