Answer:

The expression is not completely factored.

Step-by-step explanation:

The expression of ${x}^{2} - 4$ can be broken up into two binomials:

$[x - 2][x + 2]$

Together, you have this:

$3[x - 2][x + 2]$

** There is alot of missing information to this question, but at least you know how to work this out.

I am joyous to assist you anytime.

Let $x=\arctan y$ . Then $\tan x=y$ , and so as $x\to\dfrac\pi2^-$ , you have $y\to+\infty$ . The limit is then equivalent to

$\displaystyle\lim_{x\to\frac\pi2^-}\ln(\tan x)=\lim_{y\to\infty}\ln y=\infty$

$x^5 + x^4 - 7x^3 - 7x^2 -144x - 144 = 0 \\x^4(x+1)-7x^2(x+1)-144(x+1)=0\\(x^4-7x^2-144)(x+1)=0\\\\x+1=0\Rightarrow x=-1\\\\x^4-7x^2-144=0\\x^4-16x^2+9x^2-144=0\\x^2(x^2-16)+9(x^2-16)=0\\(x^2+9)(x^2-16)=0\\(x^2+9)(x-4)(x+4)=0\\\\x^2+9=0\vee x-4=0 \vee x+4=0\\x=4 \vee x=-4\\\\x\in\{-4,-1,4\}$
