Start by making this absolute value equation into two equations; one positive and one negative equation. The two equations will be: c - 24 = 7c and c - 24 = -7c.

Start by solving the positive equation first: c - 24 = 7c. Add 24 to both sides and subtract 7c from both sides of the equation.

-6c = 24, now divide both sides by -6 to find your first c value.

c = -4

Solve the negative equation next: c - 24 = -7c. Add 24 to both sides and add 7c to both sides of the equation.

8c = 24, divide both sides by 8 to isolate c and find your second c value.

c = 3

Substitute to see if these values actually work with the given absolute value equation. Substitute -4 for c.

|c - 24| = 7c ==> |(-4) - 24| = 7(-4)

Solving this equation gives us 28 = -28, and this is a false statement so -4 cannot be part of the solutions. Now check 3 by substituting it for c.

|c - 24| = 7c ==> |(3) - 24| = 7(3)

Solving this equation we get 21 = 21, and this is a true statement so our only possible solution is c = 3.

c\geq0\\\\\\ |c- 24| = 7c\\\\c-24=7c \vee c-24=-7c\\\\6c=-24 \vee -8c=-24\\\\c=-4 \vee c=3\\\\-4\not \geq0\\\\\boxed{c=3}

SOLVE x^4 − 15x^2 − 16 = 0 <br> What are the roots of the equation?
kakasveta [241]

Answer:

roots : 4, -4, i, -i

Step-by-step explanation:

This gets a bit tricky.

We have to substitude x^2 as u in this problem.

Now to rewrite x^4 − 15x^2 − 16 = 0 with u, we get

u^2 - 15u - 16 = 0

( u - 16) (u + 1)

U = 16

U = -1

<em>This is not the end of the problem. </em>

Now we have to substitute x^2 back to u.

x^2 = 16  --> we get the roots 4 and -4

x^2 = -1 --> we get the roots i and -i
