Given that $x\ne 0$ and $x$ is real that satisfies $\large \sqrt[3]{x^5-20x}=\sqrt[5]{x^3+20x}$. Find the product of all possible values of $x$.
Answer:
Let $\large a=\sqrt[3]{x^5-20x}=\sqrt[5]{x^3+20x}$.
Consider $\large a=\sqrt[3]{x^5-20x}$, we have:
$\large a^3=x^5-20x---(1)$
Consider $\large a=\sqrt[5]{x^3+20x}$, we have:
