a) \(\sqrt{x^8}=256\)
\(\Leftrightarrow\sqrt{\left(x^4\right)^2}=256\)
\(\Leftrightarrow x^4=256\)
\(\Leftrightarrow x^4=\left(\pm4\right)^4\)
\(\Leftrightarrow\left[{}\begin{matrix}x=4\\x=-4\end{matrix}\right.\)
b) \(\sqrt{x^2-2x+1}=x-1\) (x≥1)
\(\Leftrightarrow\sqrt{\left(x-1\right)^2}=x-1\)
\(\Leftrightarrow\left|x-1\right|=x-1\)
Mà: \(x\ge1\Rightarrow x-1\ge0\)
\(\Leftrightarrow x-1=x-1\)
\(\Leftrightarrow0=0\) (luôn đúng)
Vậy pt thỏa mãn với mọi x đk x ≥ 1
