\bf x^6-9x^4-81x^2+729\implies \stackrel{\textit{let's do some grouping}}{(x^6-9x^4)-(81x^2-729)} \\\\\\ \stackrel{\textit{some common factoring}}{x^4\boxed{(x^2-9)}-81\boxed{(x^2-9)}}\implies \stackrel{\textit{common factoring}}{\boxed{(x^2-9)}(x^4-81)} \\\\\\ \stackrel{\textit{difference of squares}}{[x^2-3^2][(x^2)^2-(3^2)^2]}\implies (x-3)(x+3)\stackrel{\textit{difference of squares}}{(x^2-3^2)}(x^2+3^2) \\\\\\ (x-3)(x+3)~(x-3)(x+3)~(x^2+9)

On a hunch, I decided to check whether 729 is a 6th power, and found that it is:

729^(1/6) = 3.

Next, I decided to divide x-3 into x^6 + 0x^5 - 9x^4 + 0x^3 - 81x^2 + 0x + 729, through synthetic division and using 3 as my divisor. This left no remainder. The coefficients of the quotient were as follows: 3 3 0 0 -81 -243, which represents:

3x^5 + 3x^4 + 0x^3 + 0x^2 -81x -243

Next, I applied "factoring by grouping:"

3x^4(x+1) -81(x+3) = (x+3)(3x^4 - 81).

Note that 3x^4 - 81 is the same as 3(x^4-27).

Thus, the original polynomial factors into (x-3)(3)(x^4 - 27).

SOMEONE MAKE A ENDING PARAGRAPH about someone rescuing me QUICK 40 POINTS!!!!
scZoUnD [109]

Answer:

Although, my life can't end here, life has so much more to offer me. I collected the last of my strength to swim up to to surface where I can be released from the horrors of the deep waters. I swallowed gulps of the chlorine water and my eyes ached from being open for to long. I wrestled the clenching fists of the water that urged me to stay with them. I swam, and swam, swam, until I reached my hands out for help, and that's when I knew I made it. I could feel hands from above grasping me and helping me climb out of the bitter cold pool. I ran into my mother's arms, as a gush of relief spread through my body. The relief of staying in my mothers arm, that helped me forget the isolated pits of the dark waters.

Sorry if it's not that good! I'm not the best writer, and you don't have to use this ending paragraph if you don't want to!!

1. The most massive planet in the solar system, Jupiter, has a mass of about 1,898,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 kg. Estimate
UNO [17]

Answer:

D. 2*10^{27} kg

Step-by-step explanation:

Mass of Jupiter is given as 1,898,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 kg

Estimating this to the nearest whole number would be = 2,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 kg (rounding up the the "1,898")

To express this in scientific notation form, simply count how many zeros we have to the nearest whole number, 2.

We have 27 zeros there.

Therefore, we would multiply the whole number, 2, by 10 raise to the power of 27.

An estimate of the mass of Jupiter = 2*10^{27} kg
