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

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}

Solve the system of equations. 3x – 4y = 8 18x – 5y = 10 x= y =<br>​
Zepler [3.9K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Solution by substitution method

3x-4y=8

and 18x-5y=10

Suppose,

3x-4y=8→(1)

and 18x-5y=10→(2)

Taking equation (1), we have

3x-4y=8

⇒3x=4y+8

⇒x=( 4y+8)/ 3  →(3)

Putting x= (4y+8 )/3  in equation (2), we get

18x-5y=10

18( (4y+8) /3)  -5y=10

⇒24y+48-5y=10

⇒19y+48=10

⇒19y=10-48

⇒19y= -38

⇒y=- 38 /19

 ⇒y= -2→(4)

Now, Putting y=-2 in equation (3), we get

x=4y+8

x= (4(-2)+8) /3

 ⇒x= (-8+8)/ 3

 ⇒x= 0/ 3

 

⇒x=0

∴x=0  and  y= -2
