Math Problem Statement

Determine whether the equations are equivalent.

  1. 2π‘₯2+3π‘₯3=5π‘₯5

  2. 4β„Ž2+3β„Ž2=7β„Ž2

  3. 2𝐴𝐡2+3𝐴2𝐡=5𝐴2𝐡2

  4. 3𝑏+2𝑏2=5𝑏3

Solution

To determine whether the equations are equivalent, we need to simplify each equation and check if they hold true under certain conditions.

  1. Equation 1: 2x2+3x3=5x52x^2 + 3x^3 = 5x^5

    • Rearranging gives: 2x2+3x3βˆ’5x5=02x^2 + 3x^3 - 5x^5 = 0
    • Factoring out x2x^2: x2(2+3xβˆ’5x3)=0x^2(2 + 3x - 5x^3) = 0
    • This means x2=0x^2 = 0 (which gives x=0x = 0) or 2+3xβˆ’5x3=02 + 3x - 5x^3 = 0.
  2. Equation 2: 4h2+3h2=7h24h^2 + 3h^2 = 7h^2

    • Simplifying gives: 7h2=7h27h^2 = 7h^2
    • This is always true for any hh.
  3. Equation 3: 2AB2+3A2B=5A2B22AB^2 + 3A^2B = 5A^2B^2

    • Rearranging gives: 2AB2+3A2Bβˆ’5A2B2=02AB^2 + 3A^2B - 5A^2B^2 = 0
    • Factoring out ABAB: AB(2B+3Aβˆ’5AB)=0AB(2B + 3A - 5AB) = 0
    • This means AB=0AB = 0 (which gives A=0A = 0 or B=0B = 0) or 2B+3Aβˆ’5AB=02B + 3A - 5AB = 0.
  4. Equation 4: 3b+2b2=5b33b + 2b^2 = 5b^3

    • Rearranging gives: 3b+2b2βˆ’5b3=03b + 2b^2 - 5b^3 = 0
    • Factoring out bb: b(3+2bβˆ’5b2)=0b(3 + 2b - 5b^2) = 0
    • This means b=0b = 0 or 3+2bβˆ’5b2=03 + 2b - 5b^2 = 0.

Summary of Equivalence:

  • Equation 1: Not equivalent to others; depends on polynomial roots.
  • Equation 2: Always holds true; it’s equivalent to itself.
  • Equation 3: Not equivalent to others; depends on polynomial roots.
  • Equation 4: Not equivalent to others; depends on polynomial roots.

Conclusion:

Only Equation 2 is universally true. The others depend on the specific values of the variables.

Would you like more details on any specific equation? Here are some questions to consider:

  1. What are the roots of the polynomials in Equations 1, 3, and 4?
  2. How can we graphically represent these equations to visualize their relationships?
  3. What conditions make Equations 1, 3, and 4 true?
  4. Can you find specific values for variables that satisfy all equations?
  5. How do these equations relate to systems of equations in higher dimensions?

Tip: Always check for common factors in polynomial equations to simplify and analyze their relationships more effectively.
