b) ( x2 - 1 )( x + 2 )( x - 3 ) = ( x - 1 )( x2 - 4 )( x + 5 )
b) Ta có: ( x2 - 1 )( x + 2 )( x - 3 ) = ( x - 1 )( x2 - 4 )( x + 5 )
⇔ ( x2 - 1 )( x + 2 )( x - 3 ) - ( x - 1 )( x2 - 4 )( x + 5 ) = 0
⇔ ( x - 1 )( x + 1 )( x + 2 )( x - 3 ) - ( x - 1 )( x - 2 )( x + 2 )( x + 5 ) = 0
⇔ ( x - 1 )( x + 2 )[ ( x + 1 )( x - 3 ) - ( x - 2 )( x + 5 ) ] = 0
⇔ ( x - 1 )( x + 2 )[ ( x2 - 2x - 3 ) - ( x2 + 3x - 10 ) ] = 0
⇔ ( x - 1 )( x + 2 )( 7 - 5x ) = 0
Vậy phương trình có tập nghiệm là S = { - 2; 1; }.
