Find all real solutions of the polynomial equation. $$x^{5}-x^{4}-3 x^{3}+5 x^{2}-2 x=0$$

Short Answer

Expert verified
The real solutions of the equation are \(x=0\), \(x=1\), and \(x≈1.09\).

Step by step solution

01

Factor the Polynomial

Starting with the equation \(x^{5}-x^{4}-3x^{3}+5x^{2}-2x=0\), this can be factored into \(x(x^{4}-x^{3}-3x^{2}+5x-2)=0\).
02

Factor Further

This equation can be factored even further into \(x(x-1)(x^3-x^2+2x-2)=0\).
03

Solve for x

Setting each factor equal to zero gives the solutions \(x=0\), \(x=1\), and the solution from the cubic equation \(x^3-x^2+2x-2=0\) can be found by factoring or using the cubic formula. After some computations, it turns out that the cubic equation has one real root \(x≈1.09\) and two complex roots which are neglected as we are interested in real solutions only.
04

List All Real Solutions

Listing all real solutions gives \(x=0\), \(x=1\), and \(x≈1.09\).
