What are the solutions of the equation x^4 + 6x^2 + 5 = 0? Use u substitution to solve.

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}

Answer:

s = 14

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Combine like terms.

  • (\frac{2}{3}s + \frac{5}{6}s) = 21
  • (\frac{4}{6}s + \frac{5}{6}s) = 21
  • \frac{9}{6}s = 21
  • \frac{3}{2}s=21

Step 2: Multiply both sides by 2/3.

  • \frac{3}{2}s * \frac{2}{3} = 21 * \frac{2}{3}
  • s = \frac{42}{3}
  • s = 14

Divide 5 by 4 and the left over Is the top of the fraction then your divisor is on the bottom so it would be 1 and 4/5.
