Because this is a fourth degree that will be tricky to factor as it is, we will do a u substitution. Let x^2=u. We can now rewrite that polynomial in terms of u: u^2-7u-8=0. Filling into the quadratic formula we have u=\frac{7+/-\sqrt{49-4(1)(-8)}}{2}. Simplifying down u=\frac{7+/-\sqrt{81}}{2} and u=\frac{7+9}{2} or u=\frac{7-9}{2}. That means that u = 8 or u = -1. But don't forget that we let u=x^2, so we have to put x-squared back in for u. That gives us x^2=8 which simplifies down to +/-2\sqrt{2}. That also gives us x^2=-1. When we take the square root of -1, we have to use the fact that -1 = i^2, so we sub that in to get x=+/-i. All in all, your solutions are as follows: 2\sqrt{2},-2\sqrt{2},i,-i which is choice b.

What is the box-and-whiskers plot used to show?

The whole idea of that kind of graph is that they allow you to view the complete distribution of data while also being able to see first and third quartiles, the median, and the minimums and maximums.

when a spherical balloon filled with air diameter of 6 inches what's the volume of balloon in cubic inches
Cerrena [4.2K]
Volume of sphere: V(s) = 4/3*pi*R^3 = (4/3)*pi*(D/2)^3 = (1/6) * pi * D^3

Volume of cube: V(c) = s^3

Volume of them is the same, I'm assuming you actually want to know the length of the cubic vertice

So s^3 = (1/6)*pi*D^3 -> s = (1/6 * pi)^1/3 * 6 = (36pi)^1/3
