<span>Find the speed of each car.
Let a be the first car
Let b be the second car
=> a = x miles per hour
=> b = x + 12 miles per hour
=> 2 (x+ x + 12) = 232 miles per hour
=> 2x + 12 = 232
=> 2x + 12 = 116
=> 2x = 116 - 12
=> 2x / 2 = 104 / 2
=> x = 52 (speed of Car A)
=> 52 + 12 = 64 miles per hour (speed of Car B)</span>

Whats the length of the short side?
anzhelika [568]

Call the short side x.   We have

tan 72° = opposite/adjacent =  (12.8 cm) / x

x = 12.8 / tan 72° = 12.8/(3.01) = 4.158...

Answer: 4.2 cm

What are the solutions of the equation x^4 + 6x^2 + 5 = 0? Use u substitution to solve.
Radda [10]

Answer:

second option

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

x^{4} + 6x² + 5 = 0

let u = x², then

u² + 6u + 5 = 0 ← in standard form

(u + 1)(u + 5) = 0 ← in factored form

Equate each factor to zero and solve for u

u + 1 = 0 ⇒ u = - 1

u + 5 = 0 ⇒ u = - 5

Change u back into terms of x, that is

x² = - 1 ( take the square root of both sides )

x = ± \sqrt{-1} = ± i ( noting that \sqrt{-1} = i ), and

x² = - 5 ( take the square root of both sides )

x = ± \sqrt{-5} = ± \sqrt{5(-1)} = ± \sqrt{5} × \sqrt{-1} = ± i\sqrt{5}

Solutions are x = ± i and x = ± i\sqrt{5}
