\(a,x^4-4x^3+x^2-4x=0\)
\(\Rightarrow\left(x^4-4x^3\right)+\left(x^2-4x\right)=0\)
\(\Rightarrow x^3\left(x-4\right)+x\left(x-4\right)=0\)
\(\Rightarrow\left(x-4\right)\left(x^2+x\right)=0\)
\(\Rightarrow x\left(x-4\right)\left(x+1\right)=0\)
\(\Rightarrow\left[{}\begin{matrix}x=0\\x-4=0\\x+1=0\end{matrix}\right.\)
\(\Rightarrow\left[{}\begin{matrix}x=0\\x=4\\x=-1\end{matrix}\right.\)
\(b,x^3-5x^2+4x-20=0\)
\(\Rightarrow\left(x^3-5x^2\right)+\left(4x-20\right)=0\)
\(\Rightarrow x^2\left(x-5\right)+4\left(x-5\right)=0\)
\(\Rightarrow\left(x-5\right)\left(x^2+4\right)=0\)
\(\Rightarrow\left[{}\begin{matrix}x-5=0\\x^2+4=0\end{matrix}\right.\)
\(\Rightarrow x=5\)
a) \(x^4-4x^3+x^2-4x=0\)
\(\Leftrightarrow\left(x^4-4x^3\right)+\left(x^2-4x\right)=0\)
\(\Leftrightarrow x^3\left(x-4\right)+x\left(x-4\right)=0\)
\(\Leftrightarrow\left(x-4\right)\left(x^3+x\right)=0\)
\(\Leftrightarrow x\left(x-4\right)\left(x^2+1\right)=0\)
\(\Leftrightarrow\left[{}\begin{matrix}x=0\\x-4=0\\x^2+1=0\end{matrix}\right.\) \(\Leftrightarrow\left[{}\begin{matrix}x=0\\x=4\\x^2=-1\left(loai\right)\end{matrix}\right.\)
Vậy x=0; x=4
b) \(x^3-5x^2+4x-20=0\)
\(\Leftrightarrow\left(x^3-5x^2\right)+\left(4x-20\right)=0\)
\(\Leftrightarrow x^2\left(x-5\right)+4\left(x-5\right)=0\)
\(\Leftrightarrow\left(x-5\right)\left(x^2+4\right)=0\)
\(\Leftrightarrow\left[{}\begin{matrix}x-5=0\\x^2+4=0\end{matrix}\right.\) \(\Leftrightarrow\left[{}\begin{matrix}x=5\\x^2=-4\left(loai\right)\end{matrix}\right.\)
Vậy x=5
