Câu a :
\(x^3-\dfrac{1}{4}x=0\)
\(\Leftrightarrow x\left(x^2-\dfrac{1}{4}\right)=0\)
\(\Leftrightarrow x\left(x-\dfrac{1}{2}\right)\left(x+\dfrac{1}{2}\right)=0\)
\(\Leftrightarrow\left[{}\begin{matrix}x=0\\x-\dfrac{1}{2}=0\\x+\dfrac{1}{2}=0\end{matrix}\right.\Leftrightarrow\left[{}\begin{matrix}x=0\\x=\dfrac{1}{2}\\x=-\dfrac{1}{2}\end{matrix}\right.\)
Vậy \(x=-\dfrac{1}{2};x=0;x=\dfrac{1}{2}\)
Câu b :
\(x^2-4=0\)
\(\Leftrightarrow\left(x-2\right)\left(x+2\right)=0\)
\(\Leftrightarrow\left[{}\begin{matrix}x-2=0\\x+2=0\end{matrix}\right.\Leftrightarrow\left[{}\begin{matrix}x=2\\x=-2\end{matrix}\right.\)
Vậy \(x=-2\) hoặc \(x=2\)
