Solve the equation x^6-4x^3+3=0

We have to solve x^6 - 4x^3 + 3 =
0


Let y = x^3


x^6 - 4x^3 + 3 =
0


=> y^2 - 4y + 3 =
0


=> y^2 - 3y - y + 3 =
0


=> y(y - 3) - 1(y - 3) =
0


=> (y - 1)(y-3) =
0


We get y = 1 and y = 3


Now y
= x^3


Therefore we have


x^3 =
1 => x = 1^(1/3) = 1


x^3 = 3 => x = 3^(1/3) =
cube root 3


The values are:


x = 1


x = cube root
3

Calculate tan(x-y), if sin x=1/2 and sin y=1/3. 0

We'll write the formula of the tangent of difference of 2 angles. tan (x-y) = (tan x - tan y)/(1 + tan x*tan y) ...
