If 2x+4 = (x²)²÷2 then what is x?

Answer:

Below.

Step-by-step explanation:

2x+4 = (x²)²÷2

2x + 4 = x^4/2

x^4 = 4x + 8

x^4 - 4x - 8 = 0

We can try trial an error to solve this

Looks like x = 2 fits it:

2^4 - 4(2) - 8

= 16 -8 -8 = 0

so x = 2 is one solution.

I can't find any other solution among other integers.

To find the other solutions you can draw a graph manually or by using software.

There will be either 1 or 3 more real solutions.

I used software to draw the graph and found one other solution:

x = -1.296

Malcolm is filling bags with rice. He starts with a 5 1/4 pound container of rice and fills each

Sliva [168]

Basically we want to know how many times 5/8 goes into 5 1/4.

5 1/4 ÷ 5/8 = 21/4 ÷ 5/8 = 21/4 × 8/5 = 42/5 = 8.4 bags

Since we cannot have a fraction of a bag, he can fill 8 bags completely.

answer: 8 bags

The value pie/2 is a solution for the equation 2sin^2x-sinx-1=0 true or false

Rasek [7]

Answer:

Yes, $\frac{\pi }{2}$ is a solution

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall that $sin(\frac{\pi }{2})=1$ . By replacing $\frac{\pi }{2}$ in the given trigonometric equation, we get 0 (zero) as a result, so this value is a solution:

$2*(sin(\frac{\pi }{2} ))^2-sin(\frac{\pi }{2})-1= 2*(1)^2-1-1=2-2=0$

Select the property of equality used to arrive at the conclusion if x-3=7 , then x=10

Fantom [35]

Answer:

The addition property of equality

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the addition property of equality, if we add the same number to each side of an equation, the equality is still true.

We are given the equation

x – 3 = 7, and we must solve for x.

We want to get x by itself, so we add 3 to each side.

x – 3 + 3 = 7 + 3

x = 10

We have just used the addition property of equality.
