a) (2x2 - x) + 4x - 2 = 0
x(2x - 1) + 2(2x - 1) = 0
(2x - 1)(x + 2) = 0
2x - 1 = 0 hoặc x + 2 = 0
* 2x - 1 = 0
2x = 1
x = \(\frac{1}{2}\)
* x + 2 = 0
x = -2
Vậy x = -2; x = \(\frac{1}{2}\)
b) x2 - 6x + 8 = 0
x2 - 2x - 4x + 8 = 0
(x2 - 2x) + (-4x + 8) = 0
x(x - 2) - 4(x - 2) = 0
(x - 2)(x - 4) = 0
x - 2 = 0 hoặc x - 4 = 0
* x - 2 = 0
x = 2
* x - 4 = 0
x = 4
Vậy x = 2; x = 4
c) x4 - 8x2 - 9 = 0
x4 + x2 - 9x2 - 9 = 0
(x4 - 9x2) + (x2 - 9) = 0
x2(x2 - 9) + (x2 - 9) = 0
(x2 - 9)(x2 + 1) = 0
x2 - 9 = 0 (vì x2 + 1 > 0 với mọi x)
x2 = 9
x = 3 hoặc x = -3
Vậy x = 3; x = -3
