Solve in $mathbb R$ the following equation.
$$frac{x^7}{7}=1+sqrt[7]{10}xleft(x^2-sqrt[7]{10}right)^2$$



Solution



Setting $x=2times 10^{frac 1{14}}y$, the equation becomes $64y^7-112y^5+56y^3-7y=frac{7}{2sqrt{10}}$



If $|y|le 1$, then $y=cos u$ for some $u$ and equation is $cos 7u=frac{7}{2sqrt{10}}>1$, impossible.



If $y<-1$, then $y=-cosh u$ for some $u$ and equation is $cosh 7u=-frac{7}{2sqrt{10}}<0$, impossible.



If $y>1$, then $y=cosh u$ for some $u$ and equation is $cosh 7u=frac{7}{2sqrt{10}}$ and so $y=cosh(frac{cosh^{-1} frac{7}{2sqrt{10}}}7)$



It's then easy to get $cosh^{-1} frac{7}{2sqrt{10}}=lnfrac{sqrt{10}}2$ and so $y=2^{-frac 87}10^{frac 1{14}}+2^{-frac 67}10^{-frac 1{14}}$



Hence the unique root $boxed{x=sqrt[7]5+sqrt[7]2}$



My question: Could you please solve by using simpler method?
