So, values of x are:

x = 1

x = -1

x = 4

x = -4

Step-by-step explanation:

Solving the equation:

x^4-17x^2 + 16 = 0

For solving the above equation, let u=x^2 and u^2=x^4

Placing values and solving:

u^2-17u+16=0\\u^2-16u-u+16=0\\u(u-16)-1(u-16)=0\\(u-1)(u-16)=0\\u-1=0\,\,and\,\,u-16=0\\u=1\,\,and\,\,u=16

Putting back the value of u i.e, u=x^2

x^2=1\,\,and\,\,x^2=16\\Taking\,\,square\,\,root:\\\sqrt{x^2}=\sqrt{1}\,\,and\,\,\sqrt{x^2}=\sqrt{16}\\x=\pm 1\,\,and\,\,x=\pm 4

So, values of x are:

x = 1

x = -1

x = 4

x = -4

ALGEBRA 2!!!!!!!!! SHOW ALL WORK!!!!!!!!!!!!<br> Find the inverse function.
muminat

The inverse is found by interchanging x and y

f(x) = y

\text{x = }\frac{2y - 3}{y + 1}

Multiply both sides by y + 1

x*(y + 1) = 2y - 3         Remove the brackets on the left

xy + x = 2y - 3           Subtract xy on both sides

x = 2y - xy - 3            Add 3 to both sides

x + 3 = 2y - xy           Factor out y on the right. Use the inverse distributive law

x + 3 = y*(2 - x)          Divide both sides by 2 - x

\dfrac{x + 3}{2 - x}\text{=y=f(x)}

The radius of Earth is 6,378.1 km, which is 326.1 km greater than the radius of Venus.
goblinko [34]
They want the radius of Venus. With this info you know that Earth is 6378.1 km and Venus is 326.1 km smaller than that. So you would subtract 326.1 from 6378.1   6378.1-326.1=6052 therefore 6052 km is your answer.
