<h3>Answer:  24*sqrt(2)</h3>

=========================================================

Work Shown:

A = 1+sqrt(2)

B = 1-sqrt(2)

-------------------

Using A and B, let's add and subtract those values

A+B = (1+sqrt(2))+(1-sqrt(2))

A+B = 1+sqrt(2)+1-sqrt(2)

A+B = 1+1+sqrt(2)-sqrt(2)

A+B = 2

and

A-B = (1+sqrt(2))-(1-sqrt(2))

A-B = 1+sqrt(2)-1+sqrt(2)

A-B = 1-1+sqrt(2)+sqrt(2)

A-B = 2sqrt(2)

-------------------

Next, square both sides of the A equation

A^2 = (1+sqrt(2))^2

A^2 = (1+sqrt(2))(1+sqrt(2))

A^2 = 1(1+sqrt(2))+sqrt(2)(1+sqrt(2))

A^2 = 1+sqrt(2)+sqrt(2)+sqrt(2)*sqrt(2)

A^2 = 1+2sqrt(2)+2

A^2 = 3+2sqrt(2)

-------------------

Do the same for B

B^2 = (1-sqrt(2))^2

B^2 = (1-sqrt(2))(1-sqrt(2))

B^2 = 1(1-sqrt(2))-sqrt(2)(1-sqrt(2))

B^2 = 1-sqrt(2)-sqrt(2)-sqrt(2)*(-sqrt(2))

B^2 = 1-2sqrt(2)+2

B^2 = 3-2sqrt(2)

There's a bit of nice symmetry going on with A^2 and B^2, due to A and B having similar symmetric structures themselves.

-------------------

Lets add A^2 to B^2

A^2+B^2 = (3+2sqrt(2)) + (3-2sqrt(2))

A^2+B^2 = 3+2sqrt(2) + 3-2sqrt(2)

A^2+B^2 = 3+3+2sqrt(2)-2sqrt(2)

A^2+B^2 = 6

-------------------

Now onto the final event

We'll use the difference of squares rule twice

Afterward, apply substitution using the previous sections above.

A^4 - B^4 = (A^2)^2 - (B^2)^2

A^4 - B^4 = (A^2-B^2)(A^2+B^2)

A^4 - B^4 = (A-B)(A+B)(A^2+B^2)

A^4 - B^4 = (2sqrt(2))(2)(6)

A^4 - B^4 = 2*6*2*sqrt(2)

A^4 - B^4 = 24*sqrt(2)

(1+sqrt(2))^4 - (1-sqrt(2))^4 = 24*sqrt(2)

-------------------

To check this with your calculator, you can type in the following

(1+sqrt(2))^4 - (1-sqrt(2))^4 - 24*sqrt(2)

The result you should get should be 0, or very close to it

I'm using the property that if x = y, then x-y = 0.

If y=2x+1 then that means f(x)=2x+3 and when you plug in x=0 you get f(0)=2\cdot0+3=\boxed{3}.

Hope this helps :)

Can somebody please solve this for me and show the work? it doesn't look too hard I'm just dumb.​
lana [24]

Answer:

x = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

  • vertical angles are pairs of opposite angles made by intersecting lines. and they are congruent

x + 16 = 4x - 5

x - 4x = - 5 - 16

- 3x = - 21

- x = - 21/3

- x = - 7

x = 7

hope it helps

and please just focus on your questions and use knowledge
