Question

What substitution should be used to rewrite 16(x3 1)2 – 22(x3 1) – 3 = 0 as a quadratic equation?

Answer 1

Well, quadratic equations are defined as to be 2nd degree, so since the highest degree (3) is being raised to the 2nd degree raising it to 6th power which makes th equaton no longer quadraic
take out all exponents over x

16(x+1)^2-22(x+1)-3=0
16(x^2+2x+1)-22x-22-3=0
16x^2+32x+32-22x-25=0
16x^2+10x+7=0

the replacement is to take out all exponents that are over x (x^m should be turned to x^1)

Answer 2

Substitution of y = x³-1 makes the equation in to quadratic.

Step-by-step explanation:

The function is given by

               16(x³-1)²-22(x³-1)-3=0

We need to convert this in to a quadratic function

Let us substitute

           y = x³-1

We will get

            16y²-22y-3=0  

This is a quadratic equation.

So substitution of y = x³-1 makes the equation in to quadratic.
