Solve by Graphing 1/2x^5=1/5x^2-2

$\frac{1}{2} x^{5} = \frac{1}{5} x^{2} - 2$

Step 1

Combine $\frac{1}{2}$ and $x^{5}$ .

$\frac{x^{5}}{2} = \frac{1}{5} x^{2} - 2$

Step 2

Combine $\frac{1}{5}$ and $x^{2}$ .

$\frac{x^{5}}{2} = \frac{x^{2}}{5} - 2$

Step 3

Graph each side of the equation. The solution is the x-value of the point of intersection.

$x \approx - 1.27361749$
