Multiply the constants. Multiply the variables according to the rules of exponents.
(-2q^{4})(-8q^{3}b^{6}) = ((-2)(-8))q^{(4+3)}b^{6}\\\\=16q^{7}b^6}

dexar [7]

Answer:

(a) The solutions are: x=5i,\:x=-5i

(b) The solutions are: x=3i,\:x=-3i

(c) The solutions are: x=i-2,\:x=-i-2

(d) The solutions are: x=-\frac{3}{2}+i\frac{\sqrt{7}}{2},\:x=-\frac{3}{2}-i\frac{\sqrt{7}}{2}

(e) The solutions are: x=1,\:x=-1,\:x=\sqrt{5}i,\:x=-\sqrt{5}i

(f) The solutions are: x=1

(g) The solutions are: x=0,\:x=1,\:x=-2

(h) The solutions are: x=2,\:x=2i,\:x=-2i

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the solutions of these quadratic equations you must:

(a) For x^2+25=0

\mathrm{Subtract\:}25\mathrm{\:from\:both\:sides}\\x^2+25-25=0-25

\mathrm{Simplify}\\x^2=-25

\mathrm{For\:}x^2=f\left(a\right)\mathrm{\:the\:solutions\:are\:}x=\sqrt{f\left(a\right)},\:\:-\sqrt{f\left(a\right)}\\\\x=\sqrt{-25},\:x=-\sqrt{-25}

\mathrm{Simplify}\:\sqrt{-25}\\\\\mathrm{Apply\:radical\:rule}:\quad \sqrt{-a}=\sqrt{-1}\sqrt{a}\\\\\sqrt{-25}=\sqrt{-1}\sqrt{25}\\\\\mathrm{Apply\:imaginary\:number\:rule}:\quad \sqrt{-1}=i\\\\\sqrt{-25}=\sqrt{25}i\\\\\sqrt{-25}=5i

-\sqrt{-25}=-5i

The solutions are: x=5i,\:x=-5i

(b) For -x^2-16=-7

-x^2-16+16=-7+16\\-x^2=9\\\frac{-x^2}{-1}=\frac{9}{-1}\\x^2=-9\\\\\mathrm{For\:}x^2=f\left(a\right)\mathrm{\:the\:solutions\:are\:}x=\sqrt{f\left(a\right)},\:\:-\sqrt{f\left(a\right)}\\x=\sqrt{-9},\:x=-\sqrt{-9}

The solutions are: x=3i,\:x=-3i

(c) For \left(x+2\right)^2+1=0

\left(x+2\right)^2+1-1=0-1\\\left(x+2\right)^2=-1\\\mathrm{For\:}\left(g\left(x\right)\right)^2=f\left(a\right)\mathrm{\:the\:solutions\:are\:}g\left(x\right)=\sqrt{f\left(a\right)},\:\:-\sqrt{f\left(a\right)}\\\\x+2=\sqrt{-1}\\x+2=i\\x=i-2\\\\x+2=-\sqrt{-1}\\x+2=-i\\x=-i-2

The solutions are: x=i-2,\:x=-i-2

(d) For \left(x+2\right)^2=x

\mathrm{Expand\:}\left(x+2\right)^2= x^2+4x+4

x^2+4x+4=x\\x^2+4x+4-x=x-x\\x^2+3x+4=0

For a quadratic equation of the form ax^2+bx+c=0 the solutions are:

x_{1,\:2}=\frac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}

\mathrm{For\:}\quad a=1,\:b=3,\:c=4:\quad x_{1,\:2}=\frac{-3\pm \sqrt{3^2-4\cdot \:1\cdot \:4}}{2\cdot \:1}

x_1=\frac{-3+\sqrt{3^2-4\cdot \:1\cdot \:4}}{2\cdot \:1}=\quad -\frac{3}{2}+i\frac{\sqrt{7}}{2}\\\\x_2=\frac{-3-\sqrt{3^2-4\cdot \:1\cdot \:4}}{2\cdot \:1}=\quad -\frac{3}{2}-i\frac{\sqrt{7}}{2}

The solutions are: x=-\frac{3}{2}+i\frac{\sqrt{7}}{2},\:x=-\frac{3}{2}-i\frac{\sqrt{7}}{2}

(e) For \left(x^2+1\right)^2+2\left(x^2+1\right)-8=0

\left(x^2+1\right)^2= x^4+2x^2+1\\\\2\left(x^2+1\right)= 2x^2+2\\\\x^4+2x^2+1+2x^2+2-8\\x^4+4x^2-5

\mathrm{Rewrite\:the\:equation\:with\:}u=x^2\mathrm{\:and\:}u^2=x^4\\u^2+4u-5=0\\\\\mathrm{Solve\:with\:the\:quadratic\:equation}\:u^2+4u-5=0

u_1=\frac{-4+\sqrt{4^2-4\cdot \:1\left(-5\right)}}{2\cdot \:1}=\quad 1\\\\u_2=\frac{-4-\sqrt{4^2-4\cdot \:1\left(-5\right)}}{2\cdot \:1}=\quad -5

\mathrm{Substitute\:back}\:u=x^2,\:\mathrm{solve\:for}\:x\\\\\mathrm{Solve\:}\:x^2=1=\quad x=1,\:x=-1\\\\\mathrm{Solve\:}\:x^2=-5=\quad x=\sqrt{5}i,\:x=-\sqrt{5}i

The solutions are: x=1,\:x=-1,\:x=\sqrt{5}i,\:x=-\sqrt{5}i

(f) For \left(2x-1\right)^2=\left(x+1\right)^2-3

\left(2x-1\right)^2=\quad 4x^2-4x+1\\\left(x+1\right)^2-3=\quad x^2+2x-2\\\\4x^2-4x+1=x^2+2x-2\\4x^2-4x+1+2=x^2+2x-2+2\\4x^2-4x+3=x^2+2x\\4x^2-4x+3-2x=x^2+2x-2x\\4x^2-6x+3=x^2\\4x^2-6x+3-x^2=x^2-x^2\\3x^2-6x+3=0

\mathrm{For\:}\quad a=3,\:b=-6,\:c=3:\quad x_{1,\:2}=\frac{-\left(-6\right)\pm \sqrt{\left(-6\right)^2-4\cdot \:3\cdot \:3}}{2\cdot \:3}\\\\x_{1,\:2}=\frac{-\left(-6\right)\pm \sqrt{0}}{2\cdot \:3}\\x=\frac{-\left(-6\right)}{2\cdot \:3}\\x=1

The solutions are: x=1

(g) For x^3+x^2-2x=0

x^3+x^2-2x=x\left(x^2+x-2\right)\\\\x^2+x-2:\quad \left(x-1\right)\left(x+2\right)\\\\x^3+x^2-2x=x\left(x-1\right)\left(x+2\right)=0

Using the Zero Factor Theorem: = 0 if and only if = 0 or = 0

x=0\\x-1=0:\quad x=1\\x+2=0:\quad x=-2

The solutions are: x=0,\:x=1,\:x=-2

(h) For x^3-2x^2+4x-8=0

x^3-2x^2+4x-8=\left(x^3-2x^2\right)+\left(4x-8\right)\\x^3-2x^2+4x-8=x^2\left(x-2\right)+4\left(x-2\right)\\x^3-2x^2+4x-8=\left(x-2\right)\left(x^2+4\right)

Using the Zero Factor Theorem: = 0 if and only if = 0 or = 0

x-2=0:\quad x=2\\x^2+4=0:\quad x=2i,\:x=-2i

The solutions are: x=2,\:x=2i,\:x=-2i

How do i solve integrals?
Cerrena [4.2K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

So the integral of 2 is 2x + c, where c is a constant. An "S" shaped symbol is used to mean the integral of, and dx is written at the end of the terms to be integrated, meaning "with respect to x". This is the same "dx" that appears in dy/dx . To integrate a term, increase its power by 1 and divide by this figure.
