What is the completely factor form of x4+8x2-9

Mathematics

Mademuasel [1]3 years ago

It takes some trial and error

To find the factored form, you know that the format will look like

 (x^n +/- a) (x^n +/- b)  

Since the expanded form has x^4, the first part of each expression in parentheses will be x^2  because x^2 * x^2 will give you x^4

Then you have to figure out, how will you get -9 in the expanded form? The "a" and "b" parts of each expression will have to multiply to equal -9.

Factors of -9 will be -3*3 or -1*9 or -9*1

Also, consider the 8x^2 part - as it relates to finding the factors of 9. The parts of the expression that result in  8x^2  in the expanded form ...

a*x^2 + b*x^2 = 8x^2

If you think about this, you know the a and b will  = -1 and 9 because you also have to add the expressions with x^2 to get 8x^2, and 3 and 3 would not give you the 8x^2 and neither would nor would -9 and 1.

Final factored form is

(x^2 - 1) (x^2 + 9)

A group of band instructors answered a survey about hours of rehearsal per week and number of competitions won. The graph shows
IRISSAK [1]

Answer: B. 31

Step-by-step explanation:

This linear regression was constructed by relating the hours practiced per week and the number of competitions won.

Going by this graph, the number of competitions they can expect to win at 5 practices a week is 31.

This is derived by looking for the point where 5 competitions on the x-axis intersects with the line. This point is at 31 competitions on the y axis which would make it the answer.

Answer:

I think it is this because it seems as if It is 2 separate equations.

a.x=9-2y/3

b.x=3+y/3

Ksju [112]
So... get the like-terms and add/subtract 7x^2-13x-2+27x^2-6x-1&#10;\\ \quad \\&#10;\textit{add/subtract the like-terms}&#10;\\ \quad \\&#10;\boxed{7x^2+27x^2}\quad \boxed{-13x-6x}\quad \boxed{-1-2}

The product of 8 and the sum of 4 and a number is 112. What is the number?
Zigmanuir [339]

Answer:

<h2>8(4 + n) = 112</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's start by reading the problem since it maybe is a bit confusing at first.

The product of 8

Now we know that it starts with 8 multiplied by another number. We do not know that number yet, so let's put 8 * () and fill in the parentheses later.

So far, our equation is:

8()

.. And the sum of 4 and a number

So, 4 + n

We can enter that into our equation

8(4+n)

The next line says "..Is 112"

So, the solution to our equation is 112

Our equation becomes:

8(4+n)=112
