First, you need to rewrite the expression into binomial form, so you are working with two terms (as you world with a quadratic):
(x²)²-3(x²)-4=0
Now, you can place the x²s into brackets as the coefficient is now 1:
(x²  )(x²  )
Next, find out two numbers that add together to give you -3 and multiply to give -4 (these are the leftover integers after removing the x²s). These two numbers are -4 and 1.
Place the -4 and 1 into the brackets:
(x²-4)(x²+1)=0
Notice that the x²-4 is a difference of two squares, so can be further factorised into (x+2)(x-2)
This leaves you with a final factorisation of:
(x+2)(x-2)(x²+1)=0
Now we handle each bracket individually to obtain our four solutions for x:
x+2=0
x=-2
x-2=0
x=2
x²+1=0
x²=1
x=<span>±1</span>

Finley and Cooper are wanting to go to SkyZone. Finley pays $53.75 for 5 hours. How much will Cooper pay for 3 hours?
IrinaK [193]

Answer:

<em>10.75 x 3 = $32.25</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

first, we need to figure out how much the cost is for one hour:

53.75/5 = 10.75

therefore, the cost at skyzone for 1 hour is $10.75 , BUT, we still need to figure out the time for 3 hours.

so, 10.75 x 3 = $32.25

Jane is cooking in her recipe indicates that she should add several spices she needs to add 1/2 of a teaspoon of salt, 1 1/4 tea
polet [3.4K]

Answer: total number of teaspoons of spices in the dish =3.25 teaspoons

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1

Listing the spices and their quantities , we have

Salt = 1/2 teaspoon

Orégano =1 1/4 teaspoon =5/4 teaspoons

Basil = 3/4 teaspoon

Pepper= in half as much pepper as salt -- This means that the quantity of pepper should be  50% more in quantity  than salt

Therefore quantity of pepper = 50% x 1/2 = 0.5 x 0.5= 0.25

0.25 +  1/2 = 0.25 + 0.5 = 0.75 = 3/4 teaspoon of pepper.

Step 2

Adding the amount of spices we have

1/2 + 5/4+ 3/4+ 3/4 = 2+ 5+3+ 3/4 = 13/4 = 3 1/4 teaspoons of spices  = 3.25 teaspoons of spices .
