A, b, c, d are the roots of 3x⁴-6x²+2=0. what is the value of a⁴+b⁴+c⁴+d⁴?

1 answer:

6 0

Hello,

P(x)=x^4-6x²+2=(x-a)(x-b)(x-c)(x-d)
=x^4-(a+b+c+d)x^3+(ab+ac+ad+bc+bd+cd)x^2-(abc+abd+acd+bcd)x+abcd

==>
ab+ac+ad+bc+bd+cd=-6
abc+abd+acd+bcd=0
abcd=2
a+b+c+d=0 ==>(a+b+c+d)²=0=a²+b²+c²+d²+2(ab+ac+ac+bc+bd+cd)
==>a²+b²+c²+d²=0-2*(-6)=12

if a is a root P(a)=0==>a^4-6a²+2=0
if b is a root P(b)=0==>b^4-6b²+2=0
if c is a root P(a)=0==>c^4-6c²+2=0
if d is a root P(a)=0==>d^4-6d²+2=0

==>a^4+b^4+c^4+d^4-6(a²+b²+c²+d²)+4*2=0
==>a^4+b^4+c^4+d^4=-8+6*12=64

maria [59]

Answer:

(0.6613, 8.3387)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the heights of men be the first population and the heights of women be the second population. Then

We have $n_{1} = 15$ , $\bar{x}_{1} = 69.4$ , $s_{1} = 3.09$ and

$n_{2} = 7$ , $\bar{x}_{2} = 64.9$ , $s_{2} = 2.58$ . The pooled

estimate is given by

$s_{p}^{2} = \frac{(n_{1}-1)s_{1}^{2}+(n_{2}-1)s_{2}^{2}}{n_{1}+n_{2}-2} = \frac{(15-1)(3.09)^{2}+(7-1)(2.58)^{2}}{15+7-2} = 8.68$

The 99% confidence interval for the true mean difference between the mean height of the men and the mean height of the women is given by (if the samples are independent)

$(\bar{x}_{1}-\bar{x}_{2})\pm t_{0.01/2}s_{p}\sqrt{\frac{1}{15}+\frac{1}{7}}$ , i.e.,

$(69.4-64.9)\pm t_{0.005}2.946\sqrt{\frac{1}{15}+\frac{1}{7}}$

where $t_{0.005}$ is the 0.5th quantile of the t distribution with (15+7-2) = 20 degrees of freedom. So

$4.5\pm(-2.845)(2.946)(0.458)$ , i.e.,

Find the x-coordinates of any relative extrema and inflection point(s) for the function f(x) = 6x(1/3) + 3x(4/3). You must justi

stealth61 [152]

Applying our power rule gets us our first derivative,

$\rm f'(x)=6\frac13x^{-2/3}+3\cdot\frac43x^{1/3}$

simplifying a little bit,

$\rm f'(x)=2x^{-2/3}+4x^{1/3}$

looking for critical points,

$\rm 0=2x^{-2/3}+4x^{1/3}$

We can apply more factoring.
I hope this next step isn't too confusing.
We want to factor out the smallest power of x from both terms,
and also the 2 from each.

$0=2x^{-2/3}\left(1+2x\right)$

When you divide x^(-2/3) out of x^(1/3),
it leaves you with x^(3/3) or simply x.

Then apply your Zero-Factor Property,

$\rm 0=2x^{-2/3}\qquad\qquad\qquad 0=(1+2x)$

and solve for x in each case to find your critical points.

Apply your First Derivative Test to further classify these points. You should end up finding that x=-1/2 is an relative extreme value, while x=0 is not.

Let's come back to this,

$\rm f'(x)=2x^{-2/3}+4x^{1/3}$

and take our second derivative.

$\rm f''(x)=-\frac43x^{-5/3}+\frac43x^{-2/3}$

Looking for inflection points,

$\rm 0=-\frac43x^{-5/3}+\frac43x^{-2/3}$

Again, pulling out the smaller power of x, and fractional part,

$\rm 0=-\frac43x^{-5/3}\left(1-x\right)$

And again, apply your Zero-Factor Property, setting each factor to zero and solving for x in each case. You should find that x=0 and x=1 are possible inflection points.

Applying your Second Derivative Test should verify that both points are in fact inflection points, locations where the function changes concavity.
