Artist 52 [7]3 years ago
4 0
1) given x^4 + 95x^2 - 500

2) split in two factors with common factor term x^2: (x^2 + )(x^2 - )

3) find two numbers that add up 95 and their product is - 500:

=> 100*(-5) = - 500 and 100 - 5 = 95

=> (x^2 + 100)(x^2 - 5)

4) factor x^2 - 5 = (x + √5) (x - √5)

5) write the prime factors: (x^2 + 100) (x + √5) (x -√5)

6) find the solutions:

x^2 + 100 = 0 => not possible

x + √5 = 0 => x = - √5

x - √5 = 0 => x = √5


Answer: x = √5 and x = - √5

The least common denominator of two fractions is 20. If you subtract the two denominations, you get 1. What are the denominators
LekaFEV [45]
Steps
find the Least Common Multiple of the denominators (which is called the Least Common Denominator).

Change each fraction (using equivalent fractions) to make their denominators the same as the least common denominator.

Then add (or subtract) the fractions, as we wish!
your denominators stay the same so its 20

Describe the transformations of how the graph y=x^2 can be transformed into y= -1/5 (x-4)^2 + 2
Orlov [11]

Answer:

Reflected over the x-axis, vertically shrunk by a factor of 1/5, moved right 4 units and up 2 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

Parent Graph: f(x) = a(bx - h)² + k

<em>a </em>is vertical stretch (a > 1) or shrink (a < 1) and reflection over x-axis

<em>b</em> is horizontal stretch or shrink and reflection over y-axis

<em>h</em> is horizontal movement left (if positive) or right (if negative)

<em>k</em> is vertical movement up (if positive) or down (if negative)

Now that we have our rules, we simply apply it to y = -1/5(x - 4)² + 2

<em>a</em> = -1/5, so reflection over x-axis and vertical shrink of 1/5 (1/5 < 1)

Nothing has changed <em>b</em>, so no horizontal stretch/shrink

<em>h</em> = -4, so horizontal movement right 4 units

<em>k</em> = 2, so vertical movement up 2 units
