Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation is x^4 – 5x^2 – 36 = 0

We will break the middle term:

Firstly multiply the coefficient of x^4 by constant term of the equation:

1*36 = 36

Now find any two numbers whose product is 36 and their sum or difference is equal to 5

9*4 = 36

9-4 = 5

Now,

x^4 – 5x^2 – 36 = 0

x^4-9x^2+4x^2-36=0

Now take the common:

x^2(x^2-9)+4(x^2-9)=0

(x^2+4)(x^2-9)=0

x²+4=0,

x²= 0-4,

x²=-4,  

Take root on both sides:

√x²=+/-√-4

+/-√-4 = +/-√-1 *√4

√-1 = i

Then +/-√-1 *√4 = √4 i

We know that the root of 4 is 2

Then we can write it as +/-2i

Thus x = 2i , -2i

Now (x^2-9)= 0

x²=0+9

x²=9

Take square root on both sides:

√x²=√9

x=+/-3

x= 3, -3

Therefore the values of x are 2i, -2i, 3 , -3 ....

Helga [31]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

8 in × (1 ft)/(12 in) = ⅔ ft

36 ft × 58 ft × ⅔ ft = 1392 ft³

1392 ft³ × (1 yd³)/(27 ft³) ≅ 52 yd³

52 yd³ × $123/yd³ = $6396

irga5000 [103]

Answer: The cost of Parker's tuition was $25000

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the cost of Parker's tuition.

Parker was able to pay for 60% of his college tuition with his scholarship. This means that the amount of his college tuition that he was able to pay is 60/100 × x = 0.6×x = 0.6x

The remaining $10,000 he paid for with a student loan. The amount remaining is x - 0.6x = 0.4x. This means that

0.4x was paid with a student loan. Therefore,

0.4x = 10000

x = 10000/0.4 = $25000
