a) Ta có: \(x^2-9x+20=0\)
\(\Leftrightarrow x^2-5x-4x+20=0\)
\(\Leftrightarrow x\left(x-5\right)-4\left(x-5\right)=0\)
\(\Leftrightarrow\left(x-5\right)\left(x-4\right)=0\)
\(\Leftrightarrow\left[{}\begin{matrix}x-5=0\\x-4=0\end{matrix}\right.\Leftrightarrow\left[{}\begin{matrix}x=5\\x=4\end{matrix}\right.\)
Vậy: x∈{4;5}
b) Ta có: \(x^3-4x^2+5x=0\)
\(\Leftrightarrow x\left(x^2-4x+5\right)=0\)(1)
Ta có: \(x^2-4x+5\)
\(=x^2-4x+4+1=\left(x-2\right)^2+1\)
Ta có: \(\left(x-2\right)^2\ge0\forall x\)
\(\Rightarrow\left(x-2\right)^2+1\ge1>0\forall x\)
hay \(x^2-4x+5>0\forall x\)(2)
Từ (1) và (2) suy ra x=0
Vậy: x=0
c) Sửa đề: \(x^2-2x-15=0\)
Ta có: \(x^2-2x-15=0\)
\(\Leftrightarrow x^2+3x-5x-15=0\)
\(\Leftrightarrow x\left(x+3\right)-5\left(x+3\right)=0\)
\(\Leftrightarrow\left(x+3\right)\left(x-5\right)=0\)
\(\Leftrightarrow\left[{}\begin{matrix}x+3=0\\x-5=0\end{matrix}\right.\Leftrightarrow\left[{}\begin{matrix}x=-3\\x=5\end{matrix}\right.\)
Vậy: x∈{-3;5}
d) Ta có: \(\left(x^2-1\right)^2=4x+1\)
\(\Leftrightarrow x^4-2x^2+1-4x-1=0\)
\(\Leftrightarrow x^4-2x^2-4x=0\)
\(\Leftrightarrow x\left(x^3-2x-4\right)=0\)
\(\Leftrightarrow x\left(x^3+2x^2+2x-2x^2-4x-4\right)=0\)
\(\Leftrightarrow x\cdot\left[x\left(x^2+2x+2\right)-2\left(x^2+2x+2\right)\right]=0\)
\(\Leftrightarrow x\cdot\left(x^2+2x+2\right)\cdot\left(x-2\right)=0\)(3)
Ta có: \(x^2+2x+2\)
\(=x^2+2x+1+1=\left(x+1\right)^2+1\)
Ta có: \(\left(x+1\right)^2\ge0\forall x\)
\(\Rightarrow\left(x+1\right)^2+1\ge1>0\forall x\)
hay \(x^2+2x+2>0\forall x\)(4)
Từ (3) và (4) suy ra
\(\left[{}\begin{matrix}x=0\\x-2=0\end{matrix}\right.\Leftrightarrow\left[{}\begin{matrix}x=0\\x=2\end{matrix}\right.\)
Vậy: x∈{0;2}
