-7 and 2 are factors of -14, and they make a sum of -5, therefore:
(x^2-7)(x^2+2)=0
x^=7 or x^=-2
x=√7 or-√7, x=√2i or x=-√2i

We are given equation: x^4-5x^2-14 = 0.

Now, we need to find the solutions of the given equation.

We need to solve given equation by factoring.

\mathrm{Rewrite\:the\:equation\:with\:}u=x^2\mathrm{\:and\:}u^2=x^4

u^2-5u-14=0

Let us factor the quadratic.

\mathrm{Break\:the\:expression\:into\:groups}

=\left(u^2+2u\right)+\left(-7u-14\right)

Factoring out GCF of each group.

=u\left(u+2\right)-7\left(u+2\right)

\mathrm{Factor\:out\:common\:term\:}u+2

=\left(u+2\right)\left(u-7\right)

Substituting back u=x^2.

\left(x^2+2\right)\left(x^2-7\right)=0

Applying zero product rule.

x^2+2=0

x^2=-2=>x=\sqrt{-2}=\sqrt{2}i, -\sqrt{2}i.

x^2-7=0

x^2=7=>x=\sqrt{7}=\sqrt{7}, -\sqrt{7}.

Therefore, solutions of the equation are:

\sqrt{2}i, -\sqrt{2}i,\sqrt{7}, -\sqrt{7}

If you rolled two dice what is the probability that you would roll a 4 or a 5
Masja [62]
Hello there! Given that normal dice are numbered 1-6, individually rolling a 4 or a 5 would give a 1/6 probability. That converts to about 17% as a percentage because we can multiply 1 by 100 to get 100/6, then divide 100 by 6 to get 16.6666. When rounding, that gives approximately 17%. However, if we combined probabilities, we would find that rolling a 4 or a 5 collectively gives a 2/6 probability, which is approximately 33% as a decimal.

In terms of individual probabilities, you would be 17% likely to roll one of them. In terms of collectiveness, the likelihood of rolling a 4 or 5 would render 33% on each die. If you need additional help, let me know and I will gladly assist you.

Answer:

No

Step-by-step explanation:

This is from a website so you might have to rephrase it but Direct variation describes a simple relationship between two variables . We say y varies directly with x (or as x , in some textbooks) if:

y=kx

for some constant k , called the constant of variation or constant of proportionality . (Some textbooks describe direct variation by saying " y varies directly as x ", " y varies proportionally as x ", or " y is directly proportional to x .")

This means that as x increases, y increases and as x decreases, y decreases—and that the ratio between them always stays the same.

The graph of the direct variation equation is a straight line through the origin.

.A bag contains 3 red checkers and 5 black checkers. A checker is selected, kept out of the bag, and then another checker is sel
cupoosta [38]

Answer: 15 / 56

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of red checkers = 3

Number of black checkers = 5

Total number of checkers = 8

P(black, then red) = 5/8 × 3/7 = 15/56

We should note that the probability to pick a black checker first will be 5 out of 8. Then, there'll be 7 checkers left and the probability to pick a res checker will be 3/7. We then multiply the probabality of each together.
