Ta có : x2 - 2x + 1 = 25
=> x2 - 2.x.1 + 12 = 25
=> (x - 1)2 = 25
Mà 25 = 52 ; (-5)2
=> \(\orbr{\begin{cases}\left(x-1\right)^2=5^2\\\left(x-1\right)^2=\left(-5\right)^2\end{cases}}\)
\(\Rightarrow\orbr{\begin{cases}x-1=5\\x-1=-5\end{cases}}\)
\(\Rightarrow\orbr{\begin{cases}x=6\\x=-4\end{cases}}\)
Vậy x = {-4;6}
b) (5 - 2x)2 + 1 = 25
<=> (5 - 2x)2 = 24
\(\Rightarrow\orbr{\begin{cases}5-2x=\sqrt{24}\\5-2x=-\sqrt{24}\end{cases}}\Rightarrow\orbr{\begin{cases}2x=5-2\sqrt{6}\\2x=5+2\sqrt{6}\end{cases}}\Rightarrow\orbr{\begin{cases}x=\frac{5-2\sqrt{6}}{2}\\x=\frac{5+2\sqrt{6}}{2}\end{cases}}\)
