MHB Solving Equations with High-Power Terms

AI Thread Summary
To solve an equation with a high-power term, numerical methods such as the Newton method and the dichotomy method are recommended for approximation. These iterative techniques can effectively handle complex equations where traditional algebraic methods may fall short. Utilizing computer programs can also streamline the solving process and provide more accurate results. Specificity in the chosen method can enhance the efficiency of finding solutions. Employing these strategies can lead to successful resolution of high-power equations.

What steps can be taken to solve an equation with a relatively higher power on one side such as:
6977x/1200 = (1 + x/12)60 - 1

That still leaves too many options. Could you please be a little more specific?
 
Perhaps, the iterative methods, for example,
Newton method, dichotomy method and other.

Thread 'Non-orthogonal bases'

Suppose ,instead of the usual x,y coordinate system with an I basis vector along the x -axis and a corresponding j basis vector along the y-axis we instead have a different pair of basis vectors ,call them e and f along their respective axes. I have seen that this is an important subject in maths My question is what physical applications does such a model apply to? I am asking here because I have devoted quite a lot of time in the past to understanding convectors and the dual...

Thread 'Fermat's Last Theorem'

Fermat's Last Theorem has long been one of the most famous mathematical problems, and is now one of the most famous theorems. It simply states that the equation $$ a^n+b^n=c^n $$ has no solutions with positive integers if ##n>2.## It was named after Pierre de Fermat (1607-1665). The problem itself stems from the book Arithmetica by Diophantus of Alexandria. It gained popularity because Fermat noted in his copy "Cubum autem in duos cubos, aut quadratoquadratum in duos quadratoquadratos, et...

Thread 'What Exactly is Dirac’s Delta Function? - Insight'

Insights auto threads is broken atm, so I'm manually creating these for new Insight articles. In Dirac’s Principles of Quantum Mechanics published in 1930 he introduced a “convenient notation” he referred to as a “delta function” which he treated as a continuum analog to the discrete Kronecker delta. The Kronecker delta is simply the indexed components of the identity operator in matrix algebra Source: https://www.physicsforums.com/insights/what-exactly-is-diracs-delta-function/ by...
