    You need to know these tricks: Substitute x=y+1/2 into the given equation and rearrange to (y+1/2)^6-(y-1/2)^6=0. Pascal's triangle 1 6 15 20 15 6 1
    2[6(1/2)y^5+20(1/2)^3*y^3+6(1/2)^5*y]=0. Expand: 6y^5+5y^3+(3/8)y=0. Divide by y and multiply by 8: 48y^4+40y^2+3=0.
    Apply quadratic formula: y^2=(-40±32)/96=-1/12 or -3/4. Take square roots: y=±i√3/6 or ±i√3/2. Also note that y=0.
    Thus, x=y+1/2=(3±i√3)/6 or (1±i√3)/2 or 1/2.

    I always use b/2 = arithmetic mean of roots, A, and c = geometric mean squared of roots, G, with (x)2 + b*x + c for x = A +- sqrt((A)2 - G). It is a much quicker route to quadratic roots.

    By inspection x=½ --> x-1=-½ is one of the root, as raising both of them to an even number yield the same positive number.

    By visual inspection, 0.5 is clearly a solution. Also note that if we expand (x-1)^6 it will lead off with x^6, which will cancel. Therefore we only expect five roots. The four roots other than 0.5 will be complex. To find them we proceed as follows.
    Divide both sides by x^6 to get
    (x-1)^6 / x^6 = 1
    [(x-1)/x]^6 = 1
    (1 - 1/x)^6 = 1
    To satisfy this, 1 - 1/x is one of the sixth roots of unity. These of course are at magnitude 1, angle a multiple of 60 degrees: Also, given the symmetry of the problem negating the right hand side doesn't change the solution set, and makes further work slightly cleaner. We have
    -1 + 1/x = 1
    -1 + 1/x = -1
    -1 + 1/x = cos(60) + j*sin(60)
    -1 + 1/x = cos(60) - j*sin(60)
    -1 + 1/x = -cos(60) + j*sin(60)
    -1 + 1/x = -cos(60) - j*sin(60)
    Now add 1 to both sides of every equation:
    1/x = 2
    1/x = 0

      Given the symmetry, the only real root has to be 0.5. obvious. Using your transformation the other four roots are the four corners on the unit circle. Excellent.

    L'équation est d'autant plus intéressante, qu'au premier coup d'œil, elle paraît impossible dans R, comme l'équation x = x - 1.
    (Dans un esprit purement constructif) quand la correction est trop longue, l'exercice paraît artificiellement compliqué.
    Il me semble que votre correction peut être allégée en considérant que si votre interlocuteur s'intéresse à une équation du 6e degré, alors on peut supposer qu'il connaît les identités remarquables, qu'il sait résoudre une équation du second degré, et qu'il est à l'aise avec les calculs algébriques.
    Un exemple extrait de votre corrigé, l'expression:
    ( x -1 )^2 + x ( x - 1 ) se factorise aisément en
    ( x - 1 ) ( x + 1 )
    = x^2 -1
    sans explication nécessaire et sans développement.

    Ok, going for the representation of the roots, we get that there are 5 roots, you showed 4 wich are on the complex plane, how would we find the one on the real plane? I can guess it's +1/2, but how do we prove it?

    • @SpencersAcademy

      In the video, I have one real root and 4 complex roots, making it five roots altogether. You can go ahead and watch how I got 1/2 as the real root.

    Easy, the solution is x = ω. Any limit ordinal could work here really. Because any limit ordinal minus 1 is just that limit ordinal itself since it doesn't have any predecessor. As a result, there's more than 1 solution because we can't put a value of the number of limit ordinals there are. Keep in mind that limit ordinals are multiples of ω.

    x^6=(x-1)^6 positive for all x . Then ((x-1)/x)^6 = 1. (x-1)/x is 6th root of unity. Then, (x-1)/x = e^(i2kpi/6)=> x=1/(1- e^(i2kpi/6)) for k=0,1..,5. For k=0, there's no solution. For k=3, x=1/2. Substitute k=1, 2, 4,5 and obtain two pairs of complex conjugates for x.

      In a question like this, there exist only five roots.
      Let me explain it this way:
      Let's say you expand the RHS using binomial expansion. You'll have something like this:
      X^6 = x^6 - 6x^5 +15x^4 - 20x^3 + 15x^2 -6x +1.
      Subtract x^6 from both sides makes the equation 5th-degree polynomial. And that's why we've got five roots.
