![a(b^2 +a)+24(a−3)=(2a−b^2 )(b^2 +a) ab^2 +a^2 +24a−72=2ab^2 +2a^2 −b^4 −ab^2 b^4 −a^2 +24a−72=0 b^4 =a^2 −24a+72 b^4 =((400)/a^2 ) ∴ 400=a^4 −24a^3 +72a^2 a^4 −24a^3 +72a^2 −400=0 (∗) Let f(x)=x^4 −24x^3 +72x^2 −400. By trial and error, and application of the intermediate value theorem, a root for the equation exists in the interval [20.5,20.6]. f^′ (x)=4x^3 −72x^2 +144x By the Newton−Raphson method the n+1 th approximation to the root of f(x)=0, given the n th approximation, is found by x_(n+1) =x_n −((f(x_n ))/(f^′ (x_n ))) x_(n+1) =((3x_n ^4 −48x_n ^3 +72x_n ^2 +400)/(4x_n ^3 −72x_n ^2 +144x_n )) Let x_1 =((20.5+20.6)/2)=20.55. ⇒x_2 ≈20.540974 ⇒x_3 ≈20.540961 ⇒x_4 ≈20.540961 ∴ a≈20.541. Note that (∗) has more than just one real root. This same method could be used to search for other real roots. Since b^2 =((20)/a), if b∈R⇒a>0 ∴ b=±(√((20)/(20.541)))≈±0.9867](https://www.tinkutara.com/question/Q5178.png)
