<h3>Answer:</h3>

The real solutions are -5, -4, 4, 5. There are no complex solutions.

<h3>Step-by-step explanation:</h3>

The equation ...

... x^4 -41x^2 +400 = 0

can be factored as ...

... (x^2 -16)(x^2 -25) = 0

... (x -4)(x +4)(x -5)(x +5) = 0

So, all roots are real and are ...

... x ∈ {-5, -4, 4, 5}

_____

These are the values of x that make the factors zero.

If no vertical line intersects the graph of a relation in more than one point, then the relation is a function.

ki77a [65]

If I'm understanding this correctly you mean:
If a vertical line does not connect to more than one point in a relation then that relation is a function.
Then your answer is A-True.
That is called the vertical line test. The vertical line cannot touch more than one point at the same time if it is a function. If it does touch then it is not a function.

Find the value of x. Round your answer to the nearest tenth.

natka813 [3]

That's a question about the Pythagorean Theorem.

We use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the value of one side in a right triangle.

This theorem says that:

$\boxed{a^2 = b^2 + c^2}$

<em>a</em> is the hypotenuse (It's the opposite side the right angle).
<em>b</em> and <em>c </em>are cathetus (They're the adjacent sides the right angle).

Okay, now, let's go to solve this problem! In our figure, we have two cathetus. Their values are 10 and 7 and we have to find the value of <em>x </em>(the hypotenuse). Let's change this information in that formula.

$a^2 = b^2 + c^2\\x^2 = 10^2 + 7^2\\x^2 = 100 + 49\\x^2 = 149\\x = \sqrt{149}$

Therefore, the value of <em>x </em>is $\sqrt{149}$ .

I hope I've helped. :D
