Javier works in a photo lab and needs to make a reduced copy of a photograph that is 8 inches long. The customer wants the copy

to have a length of 4.5 inches. Each time he presses the reduce button on the copier, the copy is reduced by 12%. Javier and his boss had an argument, because Javier claimed that pressing the button 5 times would be enough to fulfill the customer's request. His boss said that pressing the button 5 times would result in a length less than the desired 4.5 inches. Which of the following conclusions can be made?

What are the solutions of the equation x^4 – 5x^2 – 36 = 0? Use factoring to solve.
hammer [34]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation is x^4 – 5x^2 – 36 = 0

We will break the middle term:

Firstly multiply the coefficient of x^4 by constant term of the equation:

1*36 = 36

Now find any two numbers whose product is 36 and their sum or difference is equal to 5

9*4 = 36

9-4 = 5

Now,

x^4 – 5x^2 – 36 = 0

x^4-9x^2+4x^2-36=0

Now take the common:

x^2(x^2-9)+4(x^2-9)=0

(x^2+4)(x^2-9)=0

x²+4=0,

x²= 0-4,

x²=-4,  

Take root on both sides:

√x²=+/-√-4

+/-√-4 = +/-√-1 *√4

√-1 = i

Then +/-√-1 *√4 = √4 i

We know that the root of 4 is 2

Then we can write it as +/-2i

Thus x = 2i , -2i

Now (x^2-9)= 0

x²=0+9

x²=9

Take square root on both sides:

√x²=√9

x=+/-3

x= 3, -3

Therefore the values of x are 2i, -2i, 3 , -3 ....

Part A Prove that when x > 1, a triangle with side lengths a = x2 − 1, b = 2x, and c = x2 + 1 is a right triangle. Use the Py
Nataly [62]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : A triangle with side lengths a = x^2-1, b = 2x, \text{ and } c = x^2 + 1

To find : Prove that when x > 1, it is a right triangle. Use the Pythagorean theorem and the given side lengths to create an equation. Use the equation to show that this triangle follows the rule describing right triangles. Explain your steps ?

Solution :

For right triangle the Pythagorean theorem is to be satisfied.

i.e. c^2=a^2+b^2

Here, a = x^2-1, b = 2x, \text{ and } c = x^2 + 1

Substitute the values,

(x^2+1)^2=(x^2-1)^2+(2x)^2

x^4+1+2x^2=x^4+1-2x^2+4x^2

x^4+1+2x^2=x^4+1+2x^2

LHS=RHS

It is a right triangle.
