MCQ
If ${x^{2/3}} - 7{x^{1/3}} + 10 = 0,$ then $x = $
  • A
    $\{125\}$
  • B
    $\{8\}$
  • C
    $\phi $
  • $\{125, 8\}$

Answer

Correct option: D.
$\{125, 8\}$
d
(d) Given that ${x^{2/3}} - 7{x^{1/3}} + 10 = 0$. Given equation can be written as

${({x^{1/3}})^2} - 7({x^{1/3}}) + 10 = 0$

Let $a = {x^{1/3}}$, then it reduces to the equation

${a^2} - 7a + 10 = 0\,\, \Rightarrow (a - 5)(a - 2) = 0\,\,\, \Rightarrow a = 5,\,2$

Putting these values, we have ${a^3} = x\,\,\,\, \Rightarrow x = 125$ and $8.$
