Q. Find one value of x x that is a solution to the equation:\newline(x26)2=3x2+18x= \begin{array}{l} \left(x^{2}-6\right)^{2}=-3 x^{2}+18 \\ x=\square \end{array}
  1. Analyze the system: Analyze the given system of equations.\newlineWe have a system of equations:\newline11. (x26)2=3x2+18(x^2 - 6)^2 = -3x^2 + 18\newline22. x=x = \square or x-x\newlineWe need to find a value of x that satisfies both equations.
  2. Solve the first equation: Solve the first equation.\newline(x26)2=3x2+18(x^2 - 6)^2 = -3x^2 + 18\newlineExpand the left side of the equation:\newlinex412x2+36=3x2+18x^4 - 12x^2 + 36 = -3x^2 + 18\newlineMove all terms to one side to set the equation to zero:\newlinex412x2+3x218=0x^4 - 12x^2 + 3x^2 - 18 = 0\newlineCombine like terms:\newlinex49x218=0x^4 - 9x^2 - 18 = 0\newlineThis is a quadratic equation in terms of x2x^2.
  3. Factor the quadratic equation: Factor the quadratic equation.\newlinex49x218=0x^4 - 9x^2 - 18 = 0\newlineWe need to find two numbers that multiply to 18-18 and add up to 9-9. The numbers 6-6 and 33 satisfy these conditions.\newlineSo we can write the equation as:\newline(x26)(x2+3)=0(x^2 - 6)(x^2 + 3) = 0\newlineNow we have two separate equations:\newline11. x26=0x^2 - 6 = 0\newline22. x2+3=0x^2 + 3 = 0
  4. Solve the first separate equation: Solve the first separate equation.\newlinex26=0x^2 - 6 = 0\newlineAdd 66 to both sides:\newlinex2=6x^2 = 6\newlineTake the square root of both sides:\newlinex=6x = \sqrt{6} or x=6x = -\sqrt{6}\newlineThese are two possible values for x.
  5. Solve the second separate equation: Solve the second separate equation.\newlinex2+3=0x^2 + 3 = 0\newlineSubtract 33 from both sides:\newlinex2=3x^2 = -3\newlineSince the square of a real number cannot be negative, there are no real solutions to this equation.
  6. Check solutions for the second equation: Check which values of x satisfy the second equation of the system.\newlineThe second equation of the system is x=x = \square or x-x, which means we are looking for a value of x that is either positive or negative.\newlineFrom Step 44, we found two values for x: 6\sqrt{6} and 6-\sqrt{6}. Both of these values satisfy the second equation since one is positive and the other is negative.\newlineTherefore, we can choose either 6\sqrt{6} or 6-\sqrt{6} as the value of x that satisfies the system of equations.
