What is the completely factored form of x^4y-4x^2y-5y

Mathematics

1 answer:

AnnZ [28]3 years ago

3 0

Answer:

$y(x^2+1)(x^2-5)$

Step-by-step explanation:

Factor the expression by first finding a GCF. Each term has the y variable and this can be pulled out as the GCF.

$x^4y-4x^2y-5y\\y(x^4-4x^2-5)$

To further factor the expression break the polynomial into two binomials.

To factor into two binomials, find factors that multiply to -5 and add to -4.

-5 and 1 are factors and these make the binomials $(x^2+1)(x^2-5)$ .

The final factorization is $y(x^2+1)(x^2-5)$

Write 8/6 as a fraction with a denominator of 3

Lyrx [107]

4/3 is your answer because if you simplify 8/6 by dividing both the numerator and the denominator by 2, you will get 4/3.

Also, if you want a mixed number, it is 1 1/3.

Hope this helps!

Prove that H c G is a normal subgroup if and only if every left coset is a right coset, i.e., aH = Ha for all a e G

Kaylis [27]

$\Rightarrow$

Suppose first that $H\subset G$ is a normal subgroup. Then by definition we must have for all $a\in H$ , $xax^{-1} \in H$ for every $x\in G$ . Let $a\in G$ and choose $(ab)\in aH$ ( $b\in H$ ). By hypothesis we have $aba^{-1} =abbb^{-1}a^{-1}=(ab)b(ab)^{-1} \in H$ , i.e. $aba^{-1}=c$ for some $c\in H$ , thus $ab=ca \in Ha$ . So we have $aH\subset Ha$ . You can prove $Ha\subset aH$ in the same way.

$\Leftarrow$

Suppose $aH=Ha$ for all $a\in G$ . Let $h\in H$ , we have to prove $aha^{-1} \in H$ for every $a\in G$ . So, let $a\in G$ . We have that $ha^{-1} =a^{-1}h'$ for some $h'\in H$ (by the hypothesis). hence we have $aha^{-1}=h' \in H$ . Because $a$ was chosen arbitrarily we have the desired .

Problem 5.A miner is trapped inside a mine and has access to 3 doors. The first door leads to a tunneland can take him to safety

Likurg_2 [28]

Answer:

Expected time is 15 hours for him to get to safety.

Step-by-step explanation:

We define X as the time that this miner would get to safety.

We define Y as the door he chooses initially.

P(Y= 1) = P(Y=2)=P(Y=3) = 1/3

We have E[X|Y=1] = 3

E[X|Y] = 5 hours + E[X}

E[X|Y] = 7 hours + E[X]

Then we have

E[X] = 1/3(3 + 5 + E[X] + 7 + E[X])

We cross multiply

3*E[X] = (15 + 2E[x])

3E[X] - 2E[X] = 15

E[X] = 15

So the time it would take to get him to safety is 15 hours

2. Use the following picture for this question:

Art [367]

Answer:

a. $24\sqrt{3}$ and 41.6

b. 52.1

Step-by-step explanation:

Considering the left side triangle the blue dotted side is the side "opposite" to the angle given and the side 24 is the side that is "adjacent" to the angle given. The trigonometric ratio tan relates opposite to adjacent. Also, let the blue dotted side be y.

<u>Note:</u> the exact value of tan 60 is $\sqrt{3}$

Thus, we can write $Tan(60)=\frac{y}{24}\\y=24*Tan(60)\\y=24*\sqrt{3} \\y=24\sqrt{3}$

Approximate value (rounded to nearest tenth): $24\sqrt{3} =41.6$

Considering the triangle to the right, the side "opposite" to the angle given (53 degrees) is 41.6 (just found in part (a)) and the side "hypotenuse" (side opposite to 90 degree angle) is x. The trigonometric ratio sine relates opposite and hypotenuse.

Thus we can write and solve:

$Sin(53)=\frac{41.6}{x}\\x=\frac{41.6}{Sin(53)}=52.1$
