What are the solutions of the equation x4 + 6x2 + 5 = 0? Use u substitution to solve.
1 answer:
Answer:
x = i and x = i
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
+ 6x² + 5 = 0
Using the substitution u = x², then
u² + 6u + 5 = 0 ← in standard form
(u + 1)(u + 5) = 0 ← in factored form
Equate each factor to zero and solve for u
u + 1 = 0 ⇒ u = - 1
u + 5 = 0 ⇒ u = - 5
Convert solutions back into terms of x
x² = - 1 ⇒ x = = i
x² = - 5 ⇒ x = = i

Answer: C. Y = 5x + 5
Step-by-step explanation:
We need to write, or decide on, the equation for the blue line as this line represents the trend line for this scatter plot. We will write this in slope-intercept form. <em>See attached for a visual</em>.
First, we will find our slope. We will use for this since we have a graph with clear points. See attached, we count up [5] and then count to the right [1] for a slope of 5.
-> Slope = 5
Now, we will find our y-intercept. This is where the line intersects the y-axis. The line hits the y-axis at point (0, 5) giving us a y-intercept of 5.
-> Y-intercept = 5
Lastly, we will write our equation and decide on an answer.
y = <em>m</em>x + <em>b</em>
y = (5)x + (5)
Y = 5x + 5
C. Y = 5x + 5
