Question

(12x-5).(4x-1).(3x-7).(1-16x)=81

Answer 1

\(\left(12x-5\right)\left(4x-1\right)\left(3x-7\right)\left(1-16x\right)=81\)

\(\Rightarrow\left(48x^2-12x-20x+5\right)\left(3x-7\right)\left(1-16x\right)=81\)

\(\Rightarrow\left(48x^2-32x+5\right)\left(3x-7\right)\left(1-16x\right)=81\)

\(\Rightarrow\left(144x^3-336x^2-96x^2+224x+15x-35\right)\left(1-16x\right)=81\)

\(\Rightarrow\left(144x^3-432x^2+239x-35\right)\left(1-16x\right)=81\)

\(\Rightarrow144x^3-2304x^4-432x^2+6912x^3+239x-3824x^2-35+560x=81\)

\(\Rightarrow-2304x^4+7056x^3-4256x^2+799x-116=0\)

\(\Rightarrow\left[{}\begin{matrix}x_1\approx2,3\\x_2\approx0,5\end{matrix}\right.\)
