Assuming the exponent is supposed to be "^2" your equation will read:
4x² + 8x - 5
It must set equal to y to be a valid function and the y must be set equal to zero to find x-intercepts.
4x² + 8x - 5 = 0
4x² - 2x + 10x - 5 = 0
2x(2x - 1) + 5(2x - 1) = 0
(2x + 5)(2x - 1) = 0
Set each binomial equal to zero.
2x + 5 = 0
2x = 0 - 5
2x = - 5
Divide both sides by 2
x = - 5/2
2x - 1 = 0
2x = 0 + 1
2x = 1
x = 1/2
Your x-intercepts are x = - 5/2, 1/2 or (- 5/2, 0) and (1/2, 0)
The equation is 
.
1/2 is equivalent to 4/8, and 2 1/8 is equal to 17/8. (two full sets of 8 + 1 = 8 + 8 + 1, or 17)
The new equation is 
. Subtract the numerators.
17 - 4 = 13 or 13/8
The improper fraction 
simplifies to 
.

Answer:
I
Step-by-step explanation:
Because independent sample t-tests compare two completely different groups in a sample, which is what the researcher is attempting to do.
54044.55 ÷ 100 = 540.4455
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
