Provide an appropriate response.Is the following solution to the equation  correct? Explain.81x3 = 4x81x2 = 49x = 2 or -2x =  or x = - 

What will be an ideal response?


This solution is not correct. In the dividing by the variable x in the first step, the solution x = 0 is lost. The equation should instead be factored as x(81x2 - 4) = 0, which yields the solution set . (Explanations will vary.)
