Radda [10]3 years ago

Answer:

second option

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

x^{4} + 6x² + 5 = 0

let u = x², then

u² + 6u + 5 = 0 ← in standard form

(u + 1)(u + 5) = 0 ← in factored form

Equate each factor to zero and solve for u

u + 1 = 0 ⇒ u = - 1

u + 5 = 0 ⇒ u = - 5

Change u back into terms of x, that is

x² = - 1 ( take the square root of both sides )

x = ± \sqrt{-1} = ± i ( noting that \sqrt{-1} = i ), and

x² = - 5 ( take the square root of both sides )

x = ± \sqrt{-5} = ± \sqrt{5(-1)} = ± \sqrt{5} × \sqrt{-1} = ± i\sqrt{5}

Solutions are x = ± i and x = ± i\sqrt{5}

(x-4) = 0

x-4 = 0

x = 4

Secondly,

-5x +1 = 0

-5x = -1

x= 1/5

If m <1= 36 what is the measure of its complement?
Vlada [557]
If A represents an angle, its complement is 90-A.

If m<1 = 36, then its complement is 90-36 (degrees), or 54 (degrees).
