Question

Find the solution of the equation.

4=x5+x4


Enter only a number. Do NOT enter an equation. If the number is not an integer, enter it as a fraction in simplest form. If there is no solution, “no solution” should be entered

Answer 1

There is no integer or rational solution to the equation 4 = x^5 + x^4. This can be verified by trying integer and rational values of x and seeing that none of them satisfy the equation. Therefore, the solution is "no solution".
