X^4 - 5x^2 - 36 = 0
(x^2 - 9)(x^2 + 4) = 0
(x-3)(x+3)(x-2)(x+2) = 0

x = -3, -2, 2, 3

Answer:

x = 3, -3, 2i and -2i where i is an imaginary number.

Step-by-step explanation:

We can express the equation x^4-5x^2-36=0 as (x^2)^2-5x^2-36=0, and we can make y = x^2. So, we have the equation y^2-5y-36=0; to find the solutions of this last equation, we should find two numbers such that these numbers sum up to -5 and multiplied result in -36, these numbers are -9 and 4. Therefore y^2-5y-36=0 is equivalent to (y-9)(y+4)=0, but y = x^2, so, (x^2-9)(x^2+4)=0, i.e., (x+3)(x-3)(x^2+4)=0. This last product is equal to zero when x = 3, x = -3 or x^2=-4, x=\pm\sqrt{-4}, i.e., x=\pm2i. Therefore the solutions of the equation x^4-5x^2-36=0 are x = 3, -3, 2i and -2i where i is an imaginary number.

What are the factors in the expression 4x(3x^2+5y)?
Bess [88]

4x(3x²+5y) expand by distributing terms

4x*3x²+4x*5y take out the constants

(4*3)xx²+4x*5y simplify 4*3 to 12

12xx²+4x*5y use product rule=xᵃxᵇ=xᵃ+ᵇ, and change the two variables (the x's) into ones, because if there is just one variable with no number by it, then it is a one.

12x¹⁺²+4x*5y and simplify 1+2 to 3.

12x³+4x*5y finally simplify 4x*5y to 20xy

12x³+20xy

Hope this helps, now you know the answer and how to do it. Stay healthy and safe and HAVE A BLESSED AND WONDERFUL DAY! :-)

Two triangles are similar. The perimeter of the smaller one is 16. The ratio of the corresponding sides is 2:5. The sides of the
Eddi Din [679]

Answer:

Perimeter of larger triangle is 40.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Perimeter of smaller circle = 16

Ratio of corresponding side = 2:5

We need to find the perimeter of the larger triangle.

Solution:

Let the perimeter of the larger triangle be 'x'.

Therefore by theorem which states that;

" When a triangle have scale factor a:b then the ratio of the perimeters is a:b".

Here Ratio is 2:5, so we can say by theorem, Ratio of perimeters is 2:5

framing in equation form we get;

\frac{\textrm{Perimeter of smaller triangle}}{\textrm{Perimeter of Larger triangle}}=\frac{2}{5}

Substituting the values we get;

\frac{16}{x}=\frac{2}{5}

By Cross multiplication we get;

16\times 5=2x\\\\80=2x

Dividing both side by 2 we get;

\frac{80}{2}=\frac{2x}{2}\\\\x=40

Hence Perimeter of larger triangle is 40.
