Answer:

n=4.5

Step-by-step explanation:

We can solve using cross products

8*n = 3 *12

8n = 36

Divide each side by 8

8n/8 =36/8

n =4.5

x = -8

Step-by-step explanation:

I will show each step algebraically. If you need further explanation, feel free to ask questions :)

$\frac{x}{2} +7=3\\$ Rewrite

$\frac{x}{2} =-4$ Subtract 7

$x =-8$ Multiply by reciprocal (2/1)

I hope this helps!

Find all the zeros of the equation

lapo4ka [179]

Divide both sides by -3, and replace $x^2$ with $y$ . Then

$-3x^4+27x^2+1200=0\iff y^2-9y-400=0$

Factorize the quadratic in $y$ to get

$y^2-9y-400=(y+16)(y-25)=0\implies y=-16,y=25$

which in turn means

$x^2=-16,x^2=25$

But $x^2\ge0$ for all real $x$ , so we can ignore the first solution. This leaves us with

$x^2=25\implies x=\pm\sqrt{25}=\pm5$

If we allow for any complex solution, then we can continue with the solution we ignored:

$x^2=-16\implies x=\pm\sqrt{-16}=\pm i\sqrt{16}=\pm4i$
