Which of these represents the factorization of x4−256 ?

Answer:

(x+4)(x-4)(x+4i)(x-4i) (answer D)

Step-by-step explanation:

We can re-write the original binomial as a difference of squares noticing that 456=16^2 and that x^4=(x^2)^2

Then we have:

x^4-256=(x^2)^2-16^2

Then we can factor this out using the difference of squares factor form:

(x^2)^2-16^2=(x^2+16)(x^2-16)

Now, (x^2-16), is itself a difference of squares which we can factor out further:x^2-16=x^2-4^2=(x+4)(x-4)

And we can also solve for the binomial: (x^2+16):

x^2+16=0\\x^2=-16\\x=+/-\sqrt{-16} \\x=+/-i\,\sqrt{16} \\x=+/-4\,i

then we can write (x^2+16)=(x+4i)(x-4i)

Therefore, the final factor form of the original binomial is the product of all factors we found: (x+4)(x-4)(x+4i)(x-4i)

can be done

1,5  (ABBBBB)   or (5,1)

2,4 ( AABBBB) or (4,2)

3,3

1,1 (ABABAB)

all up = 7 ways

#3 = product of #1 and #2 = 15x7 = 105

If one zero of the following polynomial 8x^2-13x-4k is the reciprocal of the other, then find k
Lana71 [14]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

hello :

if x1 and x2 this zero for ax²+bx+c  you have : x1 = 1 /x2  means :x1 × x2 =1

but : x1 × x2 = c /a

in this exercice : a =8  and b = -13  and c = - 4k

so : c/a =-4k/8

so : -4k/8 = 1

-4k = 8        k = 8/-4      k = -2  

this polynomial is : 8x²-13x +8
