What are the zeros of the function f(x) = x4 − x2 − 2?

Mathematics

Answer:

x = ± \sqrt{2} , x = ± i

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = x^{4} - x² - 2

to find the zeros , equate f(x) to zero , that is

x^{4} - x² - 2 = 0

using the substitution u = x² , then

u² - u - 2 = 0 ← in standard form

(u - 2)(u + 1) = 0 ← in factored form

equate each factor to zero and solve for u

u - 2 = 0 ⇒ u = 2

u + 1 = 0 ⇒ u = - 1

convert u back into terms of x

x² = 2 ( take square root of both sides )

x = ± \sqrt{2}

x² = - 1 ( take square root of both sides )

x = ± \sqrt{-1} = ± i

What is the best estimate of 687 × 391?<br><br> 280,000<br> 210,000<br> 240,000<br> 180,000
ra1l [238]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Estimating a sum by rounding to get the best estimate is the goal of this lesson. Notice that we try to estimate. We don't need to have an exact answer!

Notice that for numbers with two digits, there can only be one estimate because you can only round to the tens place.

Estimate the following sums: 36 + 21, 74 + 15, and 85 + 24

36 + 21 = 40 + 20 = 60

74 + 15 = 70 + 20 = 90
