1) given x^4 + 95x^2 - 500
2) split in two factors with common factor term x^2: (x^2 + )(x^2 - )
3) find two numbers that add up 95 and their product is - 500:
=> 100*(-5) = - 500 and 100 - 5 = 95
=> (x^2 + 100)(x^2 - 5)
4) factor x^2 - 5 = (x + √5) (x - √5)
5) write the prime factors: (x^2 + 100) (x + √5) (x -√5)
6) find the solutions:
x^2 + 100 = 0 => not possible
x + √5 = 0 => x = - √5
x - √5 = 0 => x = √5
Answer: x = √5 and x = - √5
Answer:
Jane found multiples of 8.
Jane should have gotten 1, 2, 4, 8 as her answer.
Step-by-step explanation:
Factors : 1,2,4,8.
1*8=8
2*4=8
Then it would get bigger, thats what makes sense... are there answer choices?
Answer:
6.25 gm left
Step-by-step explanation:
Find the number of half lives in 26.3 years
26.3 / 5.26 = 5 half lives
(1/2) ^5 = 1/32 nd of the original will be left
1/32 * 200g = 6.25 gm left
