Answer:

x=\pm\sqrt{2}i\text{ (or) }x=\pm i

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given an equation x^4 + 3x^2 + 2 = 0. We are asked to find the solutions of our given equation using u-substitution.

We can rewrite our given equation as:  

(x^2)^2+3x^2+2 = 0

Let us assume that u=x^2.

u^2+3u+2 = 0

u^2+2u+u+2 = 0

u(u+2)+1(u+2) = 0

(u+2)(u+1) = 0

(u+2)=0\text{ (or) }(u+1) = 0

u=-2\text{ (or) }u=-1

Upon substituting back the value of u, we will get:

x^2=-2\text{ (or) }x^2=-1

x=\pm\sqrt{-2}\text{ (or) }x=\pm\sqrt{-1}

x=\pm\sqrt{-1\cdot 2}\text{ (or) }x=\pm\sqrt{-1}

Now we will use imaginary unit i. We know that i^2=-1.

x=\pm\sqrt{i^2\cdot 2}\text{ (or) }x=\pm\sqrt{i^2}

x=\pm\sqrt{2}i\text{ (or) }x=\pm i

Therefore, the solutions for our given equation are x=\pm\sqrt{2}i\text{ (or) }x=\pm i.

Answer:

<u>x = ± i & ± i√2</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation is x⁴ + 3x² + 2 = 0

let u = x²

∴ u² + 3u + 2 = 0

∴ ( u + 2 ) ( u + 1 ) = 0

∴ u = -1 or -2

∴ x² = -1   or  x² = -2

∴ x = ±√(-1) = ± i

And x = ±√(-2) = ± i √2

Note i = √(-1)

1. Write an equation in slope-intercept form of the line with the given slope and point: slope = 3 and (1, -2).
Lunna [17]
1.  The linear equation:
y = m x + b
m = 3
- 2 = 3 · 1 + b
- 2 = 3 + b
b = - 5
Answer: A ) y = 3 x - 5
2.  We will solve the system of equations:
12 = - 4 m + b  /  · ( - 1 )
23 =  7 m  +  b
----------------------
- 12 = 4 m - b
+
 23 =  7 m + b
--------------------
11 = 11 m,         m = 1,     b = 16
Answer:  A ) y = x + 16
