Answer: x = {1, -1, 2i, -2i}

Step-by-step explanation:

x⁴ + 3x² - 4 = 0

∧

-1 +4 = 3 this works!

(x² - 1)(x² + 4) = 0

x² - 1 = 0 and x² + 4 = 0

x² = 1 and x² = -4

x = ±1 and x = ± 2i

x = 1, -1 and x = 2i, -2i

How many tenths are there in four fifths?

sleet_krkn [62]

So to find how many tenths, or 1/10's, there are in four fifths, or 4/5, divide 4/5 by 1/10.

$\frac{4}{5} \div \frac{1}{10}$

Now, remember that dividing by a number is equivalent to multiplying by its reciprocal. To find the reciprocal, just flip the numerator and denominator around. In this case, 1/10 would become 10/1. Flip 1/10 to its reciprocal, change the sign to multiplication, and multiply numerators with numerators and denominators with denominators:

$\frac{4}{5}\times \frac{10}{1}=\frac{40}{5}=8$

In short, there are 8 tenths in four fifths.

PLEASE HELP ME ACE THIS angle a = ___ degrees

Ludmilka [50]

Angle B = ADC arc / 2

32 = ADC arc / 2

ADC arc = 2 × 32

ADC arc = 64

_________________________________

ADC arc + ABC arc = 360

64 + ABC arc = 360

ABC arc = 360 - 60 - 4

ABC arc = 300 - 4

ABC arc = 296

_________________________________

Angle D = ABC arc / 2

x = 296 / 2

x = 148

_________________________________

Angle A = x - 40

Angle A = 148 - 40

Angle A = 108 degrees
