a, \(x^4-4x^3-6x^2-4x+1=0\)(*)
<=> \(x^4+4x^2+1-4x^3-4x+2x^2-12x^2=0\)
<=> \(\left(x^2-2x+1\right)^2=12x^2\)
<=>\(\left(x-1\right)^4=12x^2\) <=> \(\left[{}\begin{matrix}\left(x-1\right)^2=\sqrt{12}x\\\left(x-1\right)^2=-\sqrt{12}x\end{matrix}\right.\)<=> \(\left[{}\begin{matrix}x^2-2x+1-\sqrt{12}x=0\left(1\right)\\x^2-2x+1+\sqrt{12}x=0\left(2\right)\end{matrix}\right.\)
Giải (1) có: \(x^2-2x+1-\sqrt{12}x=0\)
<=> \(x^2-2x\left(1+\sqrt{3}\right)+\left(1+\sqrt{3}\right)^2-\left(1+\sqrt{3}\right)^2+1=0\)
<=> \(\left(x-1-\sqrt{3}\right)^2-3-2\sqrt{3}=0\)
<=> \(\left(x-1-\sqrt{3}\right)^2=3+2\sqrt{3}\) <=> \(\left[{}\begin{matrix}x-1-\sqrt{3}=\sqrt{3+2\sqrt{3}}\\x-1-\sqrt{3}=-\sqrt{3+2\sqrt{3}}\end{matrix}\right.\) <=> \(\left[{}\begin{matrix}x=\sqrt{3+2\sqrt{3}}+\sqrt{3}+1\left(ktm\right)\\x=-\sqrt{3+2\sqrt{3}}+\sqrt{3}+1\left(tm\right)\end{matrix}\right.\)
=> \(x=-\sqrt{3+2\sqrt{3}}+\sqrt{3}+1\)
Giải (2) có: \(x^2-2x+1+\sqrt{12}x=0\)
<=> \(x^2-2x\left(1-\sqrt{3}\right)+\left(1-\sqrt{3}\right)^2-\left(1-\sqrt{3}\right)^2+1=0\)
<=> \(\left(x+\sqrt{3}-1\right)^2=3-2\sqrt{3}\) .Có VP<0 => PT (2) vô nghiệm
Vậy pt (*) có nghiệm x=\(-\sqrt{3+2\sqrt{3}}+\sqrt{3}+1\)
