Mathematics

disa [49]3 years ago

Answer:

The solutions x^4-5x^2-36=0 are x=3,\:x=-3,\:x=2i,\:x=-2i and the x-intercepts of y=x^4-5x^2-36 are x=3,\:x=-3

Step-by-step explanation:

Finding the solutions to x^4-5x^2-36 means finding the roots, a root is where the function is equal to zero.

The x-intercept is the point at which the graph crosses the x-axis. At this point, the y-coordinate is zero.

To find the roots you need to:

Rewrite the equation with u=x^2 and u^2=x^4

u^2-5u-36=0

Solve by factoring

\mathrm{Break\:the\:expression\:into\:groups}\\u^2-5u-36=\left(u^2+4u\right)+\left(-9u-36\right)

\mathrm{Factor\:out\:}u\mathrm{\:from\:}u^2+4u=u\left(u+4\right)

\mathrm{Factor\:out\:}-9\mathrm{\:from\:}-9u-36=-9\left(u+4\right)

u^2-5u-36=u\left(u+4\right)-9\left(u+4\right)

\mathrm{Factor\:out\:common\:term\:}u+4\\\left(u+4\right)\left(u-9\right)

u^2-5u-36=\left(u+4\right)\left(u-9\right)=0

Using the Zero factor Theorem: if ab = 0 then a = 0 or b = 0 (or both a = 0 and b = 0)

The solutions to the quadratic equation are:

\:u=-4,\:u=9

Substitute back u=x^2, solve for x

x^4-5x^2-36=(u-9)(u+4)=(x^2-9)(x^2+4)

Apply the difference of squares formula

x^4-5x^2-36=(x^2-9)(x^2+4)=(x-3)(x+3)(x^2+4)

(x-3)(x+3)(x^2+4)=0

Using the Zero factor Theorem: if ab = 0 then a = 0 or b = 0 (or both a = 0 and b = 0)

The solutions are:

\:x=3,\:x=-3,\:x=2i,\:x=-2i

Because two of the solutions are complex roots the only x-intercepts are x=3,\:x=-3

Answer:

1740 N

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the force, you need to multiply the mass by the acceleration.

(60.0 kg) × (29.0 m/s²) = 1740 N

The force will be 1740 N.

Find either the maximum or the minimum value of the following quadratic equation. Be sure to show all of your work and identify
podryga [215]

Answer:

the minimum is (1,-9)

Step-by-step explanation:

y = 5x^2 - 10x - 4

since the parabola opens upward  5>0, this will have a minimum

it will occur along the axis of symmetry h=-b/2a

y =ax^2 +bx+c

h = -(-10)/2*5

h  = 10/10 =1

the minimum occurs at x =1

the y value for the minimum is calculated by substituting x =1 back into the equation

y = 5 * 1^2 - 10*1 -4

y = 5*1^2 -10 -4

y = 5-10-4

y = -9

the minimum is (1,-9)

A plane is 24,000 feet above sea
IrinaVladis [17]

Answer:

A. -500

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the slope using rise over run (change in y / change in x)

Find the change in the y values (height of the plane):

24,000 - 18,000

= 6,000

Find the change in the x values (miles from the airport)

(60 - 72)

= -12

Divide 6000 by -12:

6000/-12

= -500

So, the slope of the plane's path is A. -500

Please help, this makes no sense to me
aev [14]

Answer:

7/11

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X equal the decimal number

Equation 1:

X=0.63¯¯¯¯¯

With 2 digits in the repeating decimal group,

create a second equation by multiplying

both sides by 102 = 100

Equation 2:

100X=63.63¯¯¯¯¯

Subtract equation (1) from equation (2)

100XX99X===63.63...0.63...63

We get

99X=63

Solve for X

X=6399

Find the Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of 63 and 99, if it exists, and reduce the fraction by dividing both numerator and denominator by GCF = 9,

63÷999÷9=711

Therefore

X=711

In conclusion,

0.63¯¯¯¯¯=711
