What is the solution to x4 - 12x2+10>0
1 answer:
Answer:
(-√(6-√26) < x < √(6-√26)) ∪ (x < -√(6 +√26)) ∪ (√(6 +√26) < x)
Step-by-step explanation:
Using x^2 = z, the equation can be rewritten as ...
z^2 -12z +10 > 0
(z -6)^2 -26 > 0
|z -6| > √26
This resolves to two equations.
This one ...
x^2 -6 < -√26 . . . . substitute x^2 for z
|x| < √(6-√26) . . . . add 6, take the square root; use √a^2 = |a|
-√(6-√26) < x < √(6-√26)
__
and this one ...
x^2 -6 > √26
|x| > √(6 +√26)
x < -√(6 +√26) ∪ √(6 +√26) < x

Vertical asymptotes happen at x=a if the function is undefined at x=a.
This is a rational functions, and rational functions are not defined when the denominator is zero, since you can't divide by zero.
In this case, the denominator is zero if
And thus the function has a vertical asymptote at x= -3/2
