Hello,

x³ - x = (1/4)(x² - 1)

let's multiply both sides by 4:

4 (x³ - x) = 4 (1/4)(x² - 1)

4(x³ - x) = x² - 1

let's collect all terms at the left side:

4(x³ - x) - (x² - 1) = 0

let's factor x out of the first binomial, yielding the common factor (x² - 1):

4x (x² - 1) - (x² - 1) = 0

let's factor out (x² - 1):

(x² - 1) (4x - 1) = 0

let's further factor x² - 1 (as a difference of squares):

(x² - 1²) (4x - 1) = 0

(x + 1)(x - 1)(4x - 1) = 0

finally let's equate each factor to zero:

x + 1 = 0 → x = - 1

x - 1 = 0 → x = 1

4x - 1 = 0 → 4x = 1 → x = 1/4


thus the solutions are:

x₁ = - 1
x₂ = 1/4
x₃ = 1


I hope it helps

x³ - x = (1/4)(x² -1)

4(x³ - x) = x² -1

4(x³ - x) - (x² -1) = 0

4x(x² - 1) - (x² -1) = 0

(4x - 1)(x² - 1) = 0

(4x - 1)(x - 1)(x + 1) = 0

x = 1/4 or x = 1 or x = -1

x³ - x = (1/4).(x² - 1)

x.(x² - 1) = (1/4).(x² - 1)

[x.(x² - 1)] - [(1/4).(x² - 1)] = 0

(x² - 1).[x - (1/4)] = 0

(x + 1).(x - 1).[x - (1/4)] = 0


First case: (x + 1) = 0 → x + 1 = 0 → x = - 1

Second case: (x - 1) = 0 → x - 1 = 0 → x = 1

Third case: [x - 1/4)] = 0→ x - (1/4) = 0 → x = 1/4

4x^3-x^2-4x+1 = 0
(x-1)(x+1)(4x-1) = 0
x = -1, 1/4, 1

x^3 – x = (1/4)(x^2 - 1) ………………..(1)
(x^3 – x)/(x^2 - 1) = x = 1/4
That is equivalent to (4x – 1) being a factor. Now rearrange (1) as
4x^3 – x^2 – 4x + 1 = (4x – 1)(x^2 + kx – 1)
Coefficient of x: -4 = -4 + k, so k = 0
(4x – 1)(x^2 – 1) = (4x – 1)(x – 1)(x + 1) = 0
Roots are 1/4, 1 and -1

x³ - x = (1/4)(x² - 1)

so, 4x³ - 4x = x² - 1

=> 4x³ - x² - 4x + 1 = 0

Now, x = 1 is a solution, so (x - 1) is a linear factor of 4x³ - x² - 4x + 1

i.e. 4x³ - x² - 4x + 1 = (x - 1)(4x² + bx - 1)

Equating coefficients gives b = 3

Hence, 4x³ - x² - 4x + 1 = (x - 1)(4x² + 3x - 1)

Also, (x - 1)(4x² + 3x - 1) = (x - 1)(4x - 1)(x + 1)

Therefore, x = 1/4 and x = -1 are also solutions

So, x = ±1 and 1/4 are the three solutions to 4x³ - x² - 4x + 1 = 0

x=1, x-1=0 is a root of above eqautaion .. divide the equation by this and u will get other two roots.
