Consider the equation x^6+6x^3+5=0.

First, you can use the substitution t=x^3, then x^6=(x^3)^2=t^2 and equation becomes t^2+6t+5=0. This equation is quadratic, so

D=6^2-4\cdot 5\cdot 1=36-20=16=4^2,\ \sqrt{D}=4,\\ \\ t_{1,2}=\dfrac{-6\pm 4}{2} =-5,-1.

Then you can factor this equation:

(t+5)(t+1)=0.

Use the made substitution again:

(x^3+5)(x^3+1)=0.

You have in each brackets the expression like a^3+b^3 that is equal to (a+b)(a^2-ab+b^2). Thus,

x^3+5=(x+\sqrt[3]{5})(x^2-\sqrt[3]{5}x+\sqrt[3]{25}) ,\\x^3+1=(x+1)(x^2-x+1)

and the equation is

(x+\sqrt[3]{5})(x^2-\sqrt[3]{5}x+\sqrt[3]{25})(x+1)(x^2-x+1)=0.

Here x_1=-\sqrt[3]{5} , x_2=-1 and you can sheck whether quadratic trinomials have real roots:

1. D_1=(-\sqrt[3]{5}) ^2-4\cdot \sqrt[3]{25}=\sqrt[3]{25} -4\sqrt[3]{25} =-3\sqrt[3]{25}.

2. D_2=(-1)^2-4\cdot 1=1-4=-3.

This means that quadratic trinomials don't have real roots.

Answer: x_1=-\sqrt[3]{5} , x_2=-1

If you need complex roots, then

x_{3,4}=\dfrac{\sqrt[3]{5}\pm i\sqrt{3\sqrt[3]{25}}}{2}   ,\\ \\x_{5,6}=\dfrac{1\pm i\sqrt{3}}{2}.

What is the probability of rolling an even number or a perfect square using a 20-sided die?
Gemiola [76]

Answer:

C) 12/20

Step-by-step explanation:

Between 1 and 20, 10 numbers are even, 4 numbers are perfect squares (1, 4, 9, and 16), and 2 numbers are both even and perfect squares (4 and 16).

So the probability is:

(10 + 4 − 2) / 20 = 12/20.

I would say the first choose that the vertical axis should use $0.50 intervals instead of $1.
Because this would make it much easier to read and understand and would it would also be more accurate.
